Kadam Surendra S & Samal Deepika V

Abstract: The present study was undertaken during June 2016 to May 2017 to evaluate water quality and macro fouling pattern, dominant species and their seasonal changes to explore the distribution and diversity of macrofoulers along the coastal areas of Tarapur Atomic Power(19.86ºN,72.68ºE)and Dahanu Thermal Power Station (19.97º,72.73ºE) in Palghar district of Maharashtra state. Macrofoulers being a prominent community in rocky coasts, the influence of environmental parameters on the prevailing species was also explored.
