This paper deals preliminary study of plankton in Sonmiani, Balochistan waters. Copepods were the highest dominant group, about 23.68 % of total catch. Next highly occurring groups were Ceratium spp. (dinoflagellates) and eggs were about 20.36 % of each. Diatoms found only 2% while chaetoganatha and jelly fish were found markedly very low in percentage (0.69%) during present investigations.
