    Abstract
    Here we report the discovery of cold-seep ecosystem and shallow methane hydrates (2-3 mbsf) associated with methane gas flares in the water column from the Indian EEZ for the first time. The seep-sites are located in the Krishna-Godavari (K-G) basin at water depths of 900-1800 m and are characterized by gas flares in the water-column images. The occurrence of methane gas hydrates at very shallow depths (2-3 mbsf) at some of the seep-sites is attributed to high methane flux and conducive P-T conditions, necessary for the stability of methane hydrate. Chemosymbiont bearing Bivalves (Vesicomidae, Mytilidae, Thyasiridae and Solemyidae families); Polychaetes (Siboglinidae family) and Gastropods (Provannidae family) are also identified from seep-sites
