Chemistry of the nudibranch Aldisa andersoni: Structure and biological activity of phorbazole metabolites
(MDPI Publishing, 2012)A chemical study of the Indo-Pacific dorid nudibranch Aldisa andersoni resulted in the isolation of five chlorinated phenyl-pyrrolyloxazoles belonging to the phorbazole series. Two new molecules, 9-chloro-phorbazole D and ... -
Comparison live adult Artemia and squid meat on the growth of Penaeid shrimp Metapenaeus dobsoni (Miers)
(Indian National Science Academy, 1995)An experiment lasting 14 weeks was conducted to compare the efficiency of live adult Artemia with fresh squid meat on growth of penaeid shrimp Metapenaeus dobsoni. The shrimps were found actively feeding on live Artemia ... -
Feeding behaviour of salp Thalia democratica (Thaliacea)
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)The salp Thalia democratica was found to feed on Chaetoceros sp. continuously during the entire experimental period of 24 hours. The rate of consumption (0.09-0.16% animal sup(-1) h sup(-1)), however, did not differ ... -
Free-living copepods of the Arabian Sea: Distributions and research perspectives
(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, 1999)The subclass Copepoda consists of 10 orders and exhibit great diversity in morphology as well as the habitats they occupy. Within the orders themselves, there are sometimes overlaps-some are free living or could be parasitic. ... -
Gut fluorescence analysis of barnacle larvae: An approach to quantify the ingested food
(Elsevier, 2012)Gut fluorescence analysis can provide a snapshot of ingested food and has been employed in feeding studies of various organisms. In this study we standardized the gut fluorescence method using laboratory-reared barnacle ... -
Heavy metals in fishes from coastal waters of Cochin, southwest coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1997)The concentration levels of copper, zinc, manganese and iron have been determined in marine fishes from Cochin area which is one of the major fishing zones along the west coast of India. The concentration of heavy metals ... -
Observations on feeding behaviour and survival rates in the estuarine calanoid copepods Acartia spinicauda and Heliodiaptomus cinctus (Crustacea: Copepoda: Calanoida)
(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, 1999)Experiments were conducted on the calanoid copepods, Acartia spinicauda (Acartiidae) and Heliodiaptomus cinctus (Diaptomidae) in order to determine food preference and survival rates respectively. Adults of A. spinicauda ... -
Phytoplankton-zooplankton inter-relationships in tropical waters - Grazing and gut pigment dynamics
(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, 1999)An examination of the feeding mechanisms in two taxonomically dissimilar classes of tropical planktonic harbivores Evadne tergestina (Cladocera) and Acrocalanus spp. (Copepoda) revealed a distinct rhythmicity of food intake. ... -
Some aspects of biology of Bombay duck, Harpodon nehereus (Ham) inhabiting the coastal waters of Goa
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1984)Intensity of feeding was maximum in Harpodon nehereus of size group 2 (15.1-17 cm) with higher feeding in males than in females. About 44.61% of the fish had empty stomachs. The food of the fish chiefly consisted of ...
