The seasonal distribution of the polychaete genus Glycera was studied, especially in relation to the textural characteristics of sediments along the south-west Kerala coast of India. Statistical analysis pointed towards the preference of Glycera sp. in sediments rich in silt, clay, sand and organic carbon relating to their role as an indicator of organic enrichment.
