INDIAN AND ANTARCTIC BRYOZOANS - TAXONOMY AND OBSERVATIONS ON TOXICOLOGY
This thesis embodies findings on a taxonomical investigation of a group of lower marine invertebrates belonging to the category coelomata. Bryozoans are well known both in fossil and recent taxonomical history. They comprise of about 5,000 living and 16000 fossil species. Bryozoans are well known fo...
