Algae associated with mangroves
(M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation, Madras, India, 1994)The algae associated with mangroves is described. Substrate plays very important role in algal establishment in intertidal and subtidal areas. Algae colonising the mud surface are seasonal because of the unstable conditions ... -
Atoll mangroves and associated flora from Republic of Maldives, Indian Ocean
(International Society for Mangrove Ecosystems, Okinawa, Japan, 1999)Coral islands from the Republic of Maldives were surveyed for their mangroves and feasibility of large scale mangrove afforestation to restore the coastal habitats and stabilize the shore. Extensive mangrove formations ... -
Coexistence and Succession of Copepod Species in the Mandovi and Zuari Estuaries, Goa
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1983)Observations were made on the copepod species association and succession at six stations in the Mandovi-Zuari estuarine system of Goa, India. A total of 55 species belonging to 25 genera and 18 families were encountered ... -
Culturable bacterial flora associated with the dinoflagellate green Noctiluca miliaris during active and declining bloom phases in the Northern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2013)A massive algal bloom of the dinoflagellate Noctiluca miliaris (green) was located in the Northern Arabian Sea by IRS-P4-2 (OCM-II) for microbiological studies, during two consecutive cruises of February-March 2009. ... -
Ecology of Pleuromamma indica Wolfenden (Copepoda - Calanoida) in the Indian Ocean
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)Pleuromamma indica was the only species among the 7 species of the genus, recorded in the area, to be present in 2 restricted areas, one near the mouth of the Gulf of Oman in the Arabian Sea and the other in the Bay of ... -
Fungi and their role in corals and coral reef ecosystems
(Springer, 2012)Fungi in coral reefs exist as endoliths where they penetrate carbonate structures, endobionts where they are associated with living organisms such as corals, sponges and holothurians, as saprotrophs in the coral mucus, ... -
Fungi in Porites lutea: Association with healthy and diseased corals
(Inter-Research, 2001)Healthy and diseased scleractinian corals have been reported to harbour fungi. However, the species of fungi occurring in them and their prevalence in terms of biomass have not been determined and their role in coral ... -
Occurrence and distribution of soft corals (Octocorallia: Alcyonacea) from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands
(Bombay Natural History Society, 1996)Occurrence and new distributional records for 26 species of Alcyonaceans are given. These include 12 species of Sinularia, 6 of Lobophytum, 6 of Sarcophytum, one of Cladiella and one of Nephthea. Their ecological information ... -
Plankton Studies in the Estuarine and Nearshore Regions of Mandovi and Zuari
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)Biological and chemical data collected for the preparation of a masterplan for pollution control in the rivers Mandovi and Zauri and the adjacent coastal area were processed to study the ecological conditions. Both ... -
Preliminary studies on the association between zooplankton and the stramenopilan fungi, Aplanochytrids
(Springer, 2013)The relationship of the marine heterokont stramenopilan protists, the aplanochytrids, with the zooplankton was studied in coastal waters. The aplanochytrids were fed to the zooplankton specimens and observed for grazing ... -
Production and Associations of Zooplankton in Estuarine and Nearshore Waters of Goa
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)Zooplankton production in the Zuari and Mandovi estuaries indicated 2 peaks-one in November and another in March/April. In the nearshore waters very high value of zooplankton biomass was observed in April associated with ... -
Shoaling of sergestid shrimp Acetes johni (Crustacea Decapoda: Sergestidae) associated with swarming of gammarid amphipods
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1994)Aggregation of sergestid shrimp Acetes johni and gammarid amphipods was observed at a station (22 degrees 07'N; 67 degrees 03'E) in the northern Arabian Sea during September 1991. Shoaling occurred in the surface layer ... -
Some ciliates from the marine wood boring isopod Sphaeroma treubia
(Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, 1985)Seven ectocommensalic ciliates, namely, Vorticella companula, Zoothamnium rigidum, Cothurnia gammari, Legenophrys cochinensis sp. nov., Epistylis gammari, Folliculina producta and Foliculina boltoni, all first-time recorded ... -
Spatial and temporal distribution of fungi and wood-borers in the coastal tropical waters of Goa, India
(Walter de Gruyter Berlin, 2001)Marine wood-degrading fungi are believed to contribute to the settlement and growth of wood-borers in the sea. However, little information is available on the association between species of these two groups of organisms. ... -
Understanding marine microbes - Trends and future diections
(Indian National Science Academy, New Delhi (India), 1999)Microbes which form an integral part of any ecosystem including the marine ecosystem are represented by groups such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, diatoms, algae, protozoa etc. These being fundamental blocks of an ecosystem ... -
