Abstract

---

The present paper deals with a study of eleven species of Peridinium from inshore waters of Karachi. All the species are first reports from Pakistan’s coastal area. Peridinium truncatum is recorded from the Indian Ocean for the first time. The species diversity of Peridinium was very high from October to December, 1970, which is the post- monsoon period in the N. Arabian Sea. Most species indicated the coastal nature of the area under study. The temperature and salinity ranges within which all the species were found growing in nature are given.
