Abstract
The bottom fauna or benthos forms an important link in the food web of the aquatic ecosystems. Bottom dwelling fishes and crustaceans feed mainly on the benthic organisms and hence the abundance of benthic fauna is a major factor deciding the fishery potential of watery body. In recent years, long-term works on benthic communities has been gaining importance in pollution studies and assessment of ecosystem health. Therefore, study of the qualitative and quantitative aspects of benthos is very important in mangrove ecosystem biodviersity determination.
