    Description: A preliminary study was conducted on the occurrence and faunasticcomposition of zooplankton in two creeks of Port Qasim creek system during January toApril 1998 (pre-monsoon season). Total 14 major groups were recorded during the studyperiod. Despite the importance of zooplankton in aquatic food web meager information isavailable on the assemblage of zooplankton in the port Qasim creek system. Highestmean (%) compositions (38.96) were recorded in copepod at station # 1 and chaetognath(23.95) at station # 2. Copepods, chaetognath and zoea were the major component ofzooplanktonic groups at both the stations. The hydrographic parameters such as airtemperature (oC), water temperature (oC), salinity (ppt), dissolved oxygen (mg/L), pH,and transparency (cm) were recorded on monthly basis. No significance correlation at(P 〈 0.05) was observed in between zooplankton with hydrographic parameters, localityand months. The number of zooplankton/100m3 found in order at station #1: copepod 〉chaetognath 〉 zoea 〉 penaeid PL 〉 amphipoda 〉 hydromedusae 〉 caridean PL 〉 fishlarvae 〉 lucifer 〉 megalopa 〉 fish eggs 〉 mysids 〉 acetes 〉 squilla larvae. At station # 2:chaetognath 〉 copepod 〉 zoea 〉 mysids 〉 Lucifer 〉 hydromedusae 〉 megalopa 〉penaeid PL 〉 fish larvae 〉 fish eggs 〉 amphipoda 〉 caridean PL 〉 others 〉 acetes 〉squilla larvae.

    Description: Species diversity and abundance of four major groups of Echinoderms (Asteroidea, Ophiuroidea, Echinoidea and Holothuroidea) were recorded from two rocky shores Buleji and Sunehri during January to December 2014. Twenty surveys were done during low tides from intertidal zone. Twenty one (21) species of Echinoderms were identified including Asterina lorioli, Asteropectin indicus, Anthenea rudis, Asterina sp. Ophioplocus imbricatus, Ophionereis dubia, Macrophiothrix aspidota, Ophiothrix sp. Ophiothella sp., Echinometra mithai, Echinometra sp., Holothuria atra, Holothuria arenicola, Holothuria leucospilota, Holothuria pardalis, Holothuria verrucosa, Holothuria cinerascens, Aslia forbesi, Staurothyone rosacea, Stolus buccalis and Ohshimella ehrenbergii. A total of 1,062 specimens were collected from Buleji and 778 from Sunehri. Holothuria arenicola and Holothuria pardalis shows highest relative abundance in all seasons. The highest abundance (28.14%) and (34.45%) of Holothuria arenicola was recorded during pre-monsoon season and the lowest relative abundance (0.29%) was observed in Holothuria leucospilota and Aslia forbesi from Buleji in Southwest monsoon and Holothuria cinerascens (0.42%) from Sunehri in post-monsoon season.Highest Shannon –Wiener diversity index (H') at Buleji was recorded in Northeast monsoon season (2.24) and in post-monsoon season (1.97) at Sunehri. No significant difference was observed in between seasons and species at (P〉0.05, 0.49) and species between localities at (P〉0.05, 0.11).
