Özet
Polychaetes are one of the most important macro-invertebrate groups in marine benthic communities. These worms play a crucial role in the food web of the trophic system and serve as the primary link between sediment and higher predators. They are demonstrating a wide range of functional diversity as well as apprehension of various environmental conditions also they are one of the best indicators of environmental disturbance among benthic groups. Studies on polychaetes from Pakistan were date back almost over a century but this studies only conducted in coastal areas of Sind specially Karachi coast. Due to the fact of scarcity of polychaete data from Makran coast, the current study is aimed to identify the diversity and their distribution from 7 different designated stations. A total of 15 species have been identified, belonging to the families Amphinomidae, Eunicidae, Lumbrineridae, Nereididae and Polynoidae. The species are described briefly and presented with their microscopic illustrations. The present study is first to describe the diversity of polychaetes from the Makran coast. The specimens are deposited in the repository of the Marine Reference Collection and Resource Centre, University of Karachi.
