Bhitarkanika presents a variety of habitats, microhabitat and climatic conditions. Therefore, the faunal component and diversity is also extremely high in comparison to other mangrove forests of South east Coast of India. A total of 420 species belonging to five Phylums under 14 classes (Nematoda, Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda and Vertebrates) were recorded during the study period. Among all, bird species were recorded high (264). Though many checklist of faunal species of Bhitarkanika are available, but still there is lacking on the various aspects of ecological studies. A research programme is recommended, to monitor the effectiveness of policies and human-crocodile relationships in the Bhitarkanika, Odisha, in order to minimize human-crocodile conflict in the future.Full Text

Bryozoans are widely distributed taxa. They are colonial invertebrates, filter feeding and normally found adhered to a substratum as encrusting or erect forms. These are aquatic animals inhabiting both fresh and marine waters. Bryozoans are found commonly in high diversities and greater abundance in most of the shallow water regions worldwide (Gordon, 1986). These are also one of the commonest fowlers found be attached to ship hulls and other substrates which is submerged in water including floating buoys and nets etc. (Tilbrook, 2006).Full Text

Echinoderms are exclusively marine and are widely distributed in benthic habitats from the intertidal zone to the deep sea. They are fascinating and enigmatic marine creatures and they include spiny skinned animals like starfishes, sea urchins and sea cucumbers. They live among corals and occur from supra-littoral to the hadal zone. They inhabit the rocky, sandy, muddy and mangrove areas. About 6000 living species of echinoderms have been described, of which more than 1000 have been listed for the Indo-West Pacific (Guille et al., 1986).Full Text

A portunid swimmer crab Lissocarcinus polybiodes Adams and White, 1848, which is usually free living or associated with hard corals (Stephenson, 1972), is shown to have commensal association with a sea star Luidia maculata MuUer and Troschel, 1842, is reported for the first time. Significantly, this is the second only report of this species from the Indian waters (Chennai Coast) after Alcock's (1899) description of specimens from Malabar, Orissa, Ganjam, Malabar and Andamans.Keywords

Extensive field survey was conducted along the coast of Gujarat and in Maharashtra states during November 2015, 2016 and February 2016 respectively in selected reef localities. A total of 24 species of bryozoans belonging to 18 families were collected and identified. Of which eight species of bryozoans were recorded for first time in Indian coastal waters. More research should be encouraged in reef areas to throw more light on the marine bryozoan diversity in India.Keywords
