dc.description.abstract	Particulate matter collected from the Bay of Bengal was analysed for carbohydrate and chlorophyll a. The distribution of chlorophyll a was different from that of carbohydrate. Chlorophyll a increased from north to south, whereas carbohydrate levels were higher in the northern Bay region. Carbohydrate/chlorophyll a ratio varied over a wide range (7.7 to 3350). The variations in carbohydrate/chlorophyll a ratio are attributed to differences in runoff from land
