Abstract

The International Indian Ocean Expedition has given much stimulus to marine work in Indian Ocean countries. There is special interest in the study of marine plankton with a view to understanding areas of high and low productivity. An Indian Ocean Biological Centre at Ernakulam, near Cochin, has been set up by the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research with UNESCO assistance, for receiving and sorting the several hundreds of samples of plankton collected with the Indian Ocean Standard Net operated by research ships participating in the Expedition. It is hoped that the bibliography of work relating to plankton of Indian Ocean prepared by Dr. Prasad will be useful to students of marine biology and particularly to those who desire to take up intensive studies on Indian marine plankton.
