A description of sediment cores from the Arabian Sea
(1972)This study describes in detail the lithologic character of five sediment cores from the Arabian Sea (shelf, slope, and basins) and summarizes the distribution and occurrence of their characteristic lithofacies and biofacies ... -
Benthic foraminifers as indices of diversity and hyposalinity in a modern clastic shelf regime, off Bombay, India
(New Delhi: Oxford & IBH, 1985)A tidally energized clastic shelf regime at 25-45 m depth off Bombay-Daman composed of silty sand, silty clay, and clay fractions is located between a sand bar and the coast. The sand bar, running parallel to the coast, ... -
Biological observations off Sutrapada, Veraval (Gujarat)
(Trivandrum: University of Kerala, 1987)Biological production potential off Veraval was evaluated based on the contribution of phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthos. The study was made along three transects covering four months during 1984-85. The mean phytoplankton ... -
Blooms of phytoplankton along the west coast of India associated with nutrient enrichment and the response of zooplankton
(Amsterdam: Elsevier, 1992)Incidents of blooms of phytoplankton, discolourations of coastal estuarine waters and swarms of zooplankton are regular features along the west coast of India These are generally concomitant with changes in the chemical ... -
Changes in the abundance and composition of zooplankton from the ports of Mumbai, India
(Springer, 2010)Zooplankton abundance, biomass, and composition from the ports of Mumbai, India, were studied by selecting 14 stations in and around the area during three different periods between 2001 and 2002 (Nov 01, Apr 02, and Oct ... -
Distribution of Chaetognaths in the Polluted and Unpolluted Waters around Bombay
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)Chaetognath fauna inhabiting the nearshore waters of Bombay was studied during Oct. 1977- Sept.1978. Among the 4 stations investigated Thana and Mahim represent polluted regions while Harbour and Versova are relatively ... -
Distribution of toxic metals, Hg, Cd and Pb in zooplankton along the Indian coasts
(Trivandrum: University of Kerala, 1987)Distribution of toxic metals such as Hg, Cd and Pb in zooplankton is assessed with a view to correlate it with the prevalent environmental conditions along the Indian coast. While Hg could not be detected in zooplankton ... -
Effect of industrial effluents on biota: a case study off Mangalore, west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1987)The inshore waters off Mangalore, receiving industrial effluent discharge were studied for phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthic populations, from December 1984 to May 1985. Total phytoplankton population varied from 7 ... -
Globigerina pachyderma (Ehrenberg) in the shelf-slope sediments of northern Indian Ocean
(1974)The occurrence of specimens of @iGlobigerina pachyderma@@ (Ehrenberg) which is considered to be a typical bipolar, cooler water species, in the Recent shelf-slope sediments of the northern Indian Ocean as far north as 9, ... -
Interactions between trophic levels in upwelling and non-upwelling regions during summer monsoon
(Elsevier, 2015)Coastal upwelling is a regular phenomenon occurring along the southwest coast of India during summer monsoon (May–September). We hypothesize that there could be a shift in environmental parameters along with changes in the ... -
Macrozooplankton biomass in the deep scattering layer of the Indian EEZ.
(Marine Biological Association of India, 2009)The surveys conducted on board FORV Sagar Sampada during 1998-2002 on the Deep Scattering Layer (DSL) revealed a wide spectrum of macrozooplankton in the sonic layers of the oceanic and pelagic realms from surface to 750 ... -
Mesozooplankton community structure in the upper 1,000 m along the western Bay of Bengal during the 2002 fall intermonsoon
(Springer, 2013)Stratification, no upwelling, sediment load, and heavy cloud cover are known to limit primary production in the western Bay of Bengal. Studies on primary consumers in this area are few. Recent studies in the Bay have shown ... -
Monsoon regime in the Indian Ocean and zooplankton variability
(Unesco, 1986)The monsoonal effects on zooplankton lead to characteristic zoogeographic patterns in the open ocean and coastal waters. The evaluation of zooplankton variability in the Indian Ocean is presented in three sections: the ... -
Occurrence and distribution of persistent chlorinated hydrocarbons in the seas around India
(Easton, PA: Pennsylvania Academy of Science, 1994)Article deals with an evaluation of the levels of contamination of various organochlorine pesticides such as DDTs, HCHs, aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, and different congeners of polychlorinated biphenyls in different compartment ... -

Plankton biodiversity of Dharamtar creek adjoining Mumbai harbour
(Vidya Prasarak Mandal's B.N. Bandodkar College of Science; Thane (India), 2002)The phytoplankton and zooplankton diversity of Dharamtar creek, a vital system adjoining the Mumbai harbour were assessed to obtain baseline information. A total of 58 genera of phytoplankton were encountered from the area, ... -
