Daily watch was maintained en-route from the ship for wildlife and on sighting a bird or mammal, the position, species and their numbers were recorded. The entire route was divided into latitudinal climatic zones viz. tropical (north), tropical (south), sub-tropical, temperature, sub-Antarctic and Antarctic. During the voyage, fifty bird species and fourteen mammal species were recorded of which 41 and 9 were identified, respectively. Among the birds, members of Diomedidae, Spheniscidae, Stercorariidae, and some Procellariidae dominated in the cold temperate to Antarctic waters, while members of Sulidae, Sternidae, Phaethotidae and some Procellariidae dominated in the tropical and sub-tropical regions. 1. To monitor species en-route to Antarctica and back. 2. To count penguins and seals in the India bay region of Antarctica using aerial census. 3. To classify wildlife habitats and their use by wildlife. 4. To conduct behavioural studies on penguins and seals. 5. To standardise techniques for the above objectives.
