Brief Description (Abstract):

The present study was done during the 19th expedition. The invertebrate fauna collected from 32 sites (28 lakes, 2 swampy areas, one open land and one waste-water site) in Schirmacher Oasis were studied. Some physico-chemical parameters like soil temperature and relative humidity were also recorded in the field. In this study ten species of protozoa, one species of rotifera, two species of tardigrada, two species of nematoda, four species of collembola, one species of diptera and ten species of mite including several new records from Antarctica have been reported.
