TI  - A comparative study on intertidal faunal biodiversity of selected beaches of 
      Mumbai coast.
PG  - 981-6
AB  - Comparative study has been done to examine the biodiversity and ecological status 
      of the intertidal region of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), 
      Bandstand and National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA) rocky beaches in Mumbai, 
      West coast of India. A total of 50 species of intertidal organisms were recorded 
      from these shores. Shannon and Simpson's diversity index, Margalefs richness 
      index and Pielou's evenness index indicated different level of ecological state 
      of the shore in different months. Dendrograms and 2-D non metric MDS ordination 
      from Bray-Curtis similarity matrix of occurrence of intertidal organisms from 
      these sites showed highest similarity and combination pattern of occurrence 
      between Nerita oryzarum and Planaxis sulcatus in TIFR and Bandstand shore. Nerita 
      oryzarum and Tactarius malaccanus at NCPA shore. Abundance/biomass comparison 
      (ABC) method of determining level of disturbance also pointed towards the 
      polluted status of these shores. Study concludes that though these beaches are 
      highly disturbed due to anthropogenic activities, they still support a rich 
      intertidal biodiversity which need immediate attention for protection and 
      conservation.
