The Indian Ocean Biological Centre, Cochin, India, provided the study material. This material belonged to Family Temoridae, collected on board the ship Meteor (Germany) during IIOE. In the present study Temora discaudata, adults of both sexes, copepodite stages III-V, their distribution and absolute abundance in Meteor cruise 1, have been studied. Evidences have been given to conclude that this epi-pelagic, warm water species from the surrounding waters is drifted towards the SW-monsoonal upwelling areas along the coast of Somalia, where they aggregate and enjoy feeding, breeding, etc. uptill the NE-Monsoon time when the area still show relatively colder isotherms.
