Abstract
The Lamellibrachia worm is a gutless worm, the worm producing such a long tube about more than 1m, made up of the hard materials of proteinaceous compounds. They live as a chemoautotrophic and often found in the cold seep environments ecosystem, which acts as a gas reservoir (Hydrogen Sulfide). It has especially exhibited a rich source of Methane. Under the INDOBIS program on the benthic faunal survey (During the FORV Sagar Sampada 355 cruise), found thirty-five cm of animal less tube on the western side dredge operation of the Andaman Islands. Identifying the Lamellibrachia worm tube from off Northern Andaman Island suggested that this region may contain a cold seep ecosystem. This study reveals that the Lamellibrachia tube has found in the Andaman region and reported for the first time.
