    • Effect of salinity on larval growth of horseshoe crab, Tachypleus gigas (Muller) 

      Chatterji, A.; Kotnala, S.; Mathew, R. (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2004)
      Growth of the trilobite larvae of Tachypleus gigas was studied at salinity ranging from 10 to 40 ppt. In terms of body weight, the growth was higher (232 plus or minus 7.5 mg/week) (P < 0.05) at 40 ppt salinity, and the ...
    • Morphometric characteristics in the horseshoe crab Tachypleus gigas (Arthropoda: Merostomata) 

      Vijayakumar, R.; Das, S.; Chatterji, A.; Parulekar, A.H. (NISCAIR, CSIR, 2000)
      The relationships observed between total carapace length with carapace width, carapace weight, telson length, body weight were found statistically significant (p < 0.05) in the male and female horseshoe crab, Tachypleus ...
    • Regeneration of gill lamellae of the Indian horseshoe crab, Tachypleus gigas (Muller) 

      Chatterji, A.; Alam, H.; Joshi, B.K.; Bhonde, R.R. (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2004)
      It has been a well-known fact that the crustaceans are able to re-grow their limbs and regenerate muscle fibers. In our experiment, about a third of the lost gill lamellae was observed to be regenerated on the 50th day and ...
    • Studies on ecology of diatoms 

      Patil, J.S. (2003)
      Diatoms are abundant in the phytoplankton and phytobenthos of aquatic ecosystems, whatever the latitude. Within the aquatic realm, diatoms further extend their habitats from the pelagic to benthic environment and are also ...
