1 Volume 3, Issue 12 May RESEARCH ARTICLE ISSN: Report on Protozoan Fauna in Chintamoni Kar Bird Sanctuary, West Bengal J. Chitra Protozoology Section, Lower Invertebrate Division, M-Block, New Alipore, Kolkata , India Abstract Chintamoni Kar bird sanctuary is situated in South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal coordinates at latitude N and Longitude E. It is otherwise known as Narendrapur wild life sanctuary and locally called as Kayaler Bagan covering 17 acres managed by Sunderban Biosphere Reserve. About 25 samples of moss, fern, leaf litter and soil samples were collected and processed. A total of 18 species including 6 genera, 2 family and 2 order were recorded. Four species were recorded for the first time from West Bengal. This investigation reveals the species distribution of protozoan fauna for the first time from this sanctuary. Keywords: Protozoa, species distribution, Narendrapur, Chintamoni Kar Sanctuary, West Bengal. Introduction Chintamoni Kar bird sanctuary is situated in South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal coordinates at latitude N and Longitude E. It is otherwise known as Narendrapur wild life sanctuary and locally called as Kayaler Bagan covering 17 acres managed by Sunderban Biosphere Reserve. This sanctuary acts as a home for numerous birds, insects, land molluscs, reptiles, mammals etc. It also covers wide variety of orchids, ferns, epiphytes, plants and trees like mango, jackfruit, coconut, tamarind, guava, dumur, ficus, bamboo yards, safeda, chatun etc. Earlier works on free living protozoa from India were initiated by Naidu (1966); Mahajan (1971) and Nair et al. (1971). Several works by Das et al. (1993; 1995; 2000; 2003; 2004), Bindu (2008; 2010) and Bindu and Das (2010) were explored from India. Earlier Nair et al. (1971), Das (1993), Chattopadhyay and Das (2003), Bindu (2008) and Chitra (2014) investigated on protozoan fauna from various districts of West Bengal. But the protozaoan fauna were not reported from Chintamoni Kar bird sanctuary so far. Hence, this study is an first attempt to investigate the protozoan fauna in the premises of Chintamoni Kar bird sanctuary from various habitats on the mosses, ferns, leaf litter, soil etc. Materials and methods Sample collection: Moss samples were collected from soil, bark of trees from different heights. Leaf litter samples and fern samples were also collected. The samples were collected mostly from 1 m 2 area to obtain 50 g wet weight composite samples. The samples were stored in plastic bags and transported to the laboratory. The samples were placed in a petri dish with cm dia were then processed with non-flooded petri dish method described by Foissner (1987, 1992). Protozoan identification: Protozoan fauna were analyzed for detailed taxonomical studies. The species were identified following Deflandre (1959); Das et al. (1993) and Chattopadhyay and Das (2003). Results A total of 18 species including 6 genera, 2 family and 2 order from 25 samples of moss, fern, leaf litter and soil samples of Chintamoni kar bird sanctuary were identified. The systematic list of the recorded species were listed as follows. Phylum: Protozoa Class: Lobosea Order Testacea lobosa Family Centropyxidae 1.

Distribution: India: Uttarakhand. Remarks: Recorded for the first time from West Bengal. Discussion The present investigation explores on the protozoan (rhizopoda) associated with fern, mosses on trees and soil, leaf litters. Interestingly 18 species were recorded were from super class Rhizopoda of two orders testacealobosa and testaceafilosa belongs to 2 family Centropyxidae and Euglyphidae and 6 genera from Chintamoni Kar Bird Sanctuary. Das et al. (1993) reported that protozoan fauna of freshwater, soil and moss collections from West Bengal. Since there is lack of information on the protozoan fauna from the Chintamoni Kar Bird Sanctuary, the study reveals the first hand information from this study area. Two family Centropyxidae and Euglyphidae were equally distributed and among them Centropyxis aerophila (Ehrenberg, 1832) Stein, 1857, Cyclopyxis eurystoma (Deflandre, ) Deflandre, Cyclopyxis kahli (Deflandre, ) Deflandre, Trinema enchelys (Ehrenberg, 1838) Leidy, 1878 and Trinema penardi Thomas and Chardez, Four species viz., Centropyxis aerophila var sphagnicola Deflandre, Centropyxis cassis (Wallich, 1864), Cyclopyxis eurystoma (Deflandre, ) Deflandre and Trinema penardi Thomas and Chardez, 1958 were recorded for the first time from West Bengal. Conclusion A total of 18 species of protozoa: rhizopoda were registered from Chintamoni Kar Bird Sanctuary which was unexplored earlier. This investigation reveals the species distribution of protozoan fauna for the first time from this sanctuary. Further the studies to be carried out on the seasonal influences on the protozoan fauna and their role in food chain to reveal the complete species distribution of Chintamoni Kar Bird Sanctuary.
