Abstract

---

The present paper describes the taxonomy, distribution and phenology of five species of Oxytoxum and two species of Pyrophacus for the first time from two inshore localities of Karachi (Manora channel and Korangi creek) which are highly polluted and surrounded with mangroves. Simultaneous observations on temperature and salinity were taken to see their effect on their occurrence. They occurred preferably in southwest monsoon and fall inter-monsoon seasons characterized by relatively higher water temperatures.
