A case study on the impact of industrial effluent disposal on the fishery of Amba River Estuary, Maharashtra
(Indian Fisheries Association, 1995)The impact of waste discharge on fishery resources is a matter of great concern. The accepted norm in all environmental impact assessment studies is to avoid areas of high fishery potential while locating a marine outfall. ... -
Annual Variations in Zooplankton from a Polluted Coastal Environment
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)Seasonal changes in the composition and distribution of zooplankton from the coastal waters of Trivandrum were studied. The study indicated that the effluent discharged from a nearby titanium dioxide factory did not affect ... -
Arsenic in water, plankton and sediments off Goa coast and adjacent regions
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)Arsenic content was estimated in water, plankton and sediments in the region between 14 degrees 40'N and 15 degrees 50'N surrounding Goa coast. Of the total arsenic content in water (1.65 - 4.78 mu g/litre; av. 3.09 mu ... -
Coastal and nearshore circulation off Mangalore
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1979)Studies on currents off Mangalore (west coast of India) showed a strong tidal influence very near the shore which decreased with increasing distance from the shore. At 2 km and further offshore, the onshore component of ... -
Computation of dilution discharge and mean concentration of effluents in Beypore Estuary, west coast of India
(Palani Paramount Publications, 1995)Tide dominated Beypore estuary along the west coast of India was studied to estimate the mean flow available for diluting the conservative effluents based on the distribution of ambient salinity as a guide through one ... -
Distribution and abundance of copepods in the pollution gradient zones of Bombay Harbour-Thana Creek-Bassein Creek, west coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1997)Forty six species of copepods were identified, of which, 40 belonged to Calanoida with an overall dominance of Acartiidae. Acartia spinicauda, A. centrura and Centropages dorsispinatus were the common species throughout ... -
Ecology of hydromedusae from Bombay Harbour - Thana and Bassein Creek estuarine complex
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1997)Species composition, abundance, seasonal variation and distribution of Hydromedusae were carried out during October 1985 to September 1986. Thirty four species belonging to twenty two genera were recorded from this region. ... -
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 ... -
Effects of industrial waste disposal on the water quality of the river Kolak
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)About 6 mld of industrial waste water is discharged without proper treatment in the fresh water zone of the river Kolak. Parameters like suspended solids, pH, chloride, DO, BOD, phosphate, nitrate, boron, sulphate and trace ... -
Environmental studies of the Ambika and associated river estuaries
(Elsevier, 1986)The tide dominated coastal plain Ambika, Kaveri and Kareira estuarine system has been investigated to evaluate the influence of industrial and domestic wastewater discharges on the water quality. The wastewater streams ... -
Estuarine characteristics of the lower reaches of the River Periyar (Cochin backwater)
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)Lower reaches of river Periyar were studied to assess longitudinal extent of salt water intrusion into the system during different seasons and also its effect on the flushing of pollutants introduced by the industries. ... -
Four marine-derived fungi for bioremediation of raw textile mill effluents
(Elsevier, 2010)Textile dye effluents pose environmental hazards because of color and toxicity. Bioremediation of these has been widely attempted. However, their widely differing characteristics and high salt contents have required ... -
Fungi from marine habitats: Application in bioremediation
(Elsevier, 2000)This paper synthesizes the work done on decolourization of bleach plant effluent and synthetic dyes using fungi from marine habitats. Three fungi obtained from marine habitats removed up to 60-95% of Kraft paper mill bleach ... -
Location of marine outfall and design of diffuser for a shore based industry off southeast coast of India
(Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, 1997)Disposal of industrial effluent in the sea necessitates exhaustive study on the marine environment and the hydrodynamic behavior of the plume discharge with the ocean. Site specific baseline information on currents, waves, ... -
Marine environmental pollution stress detection through direct viable counts of bacteria
(Pergamon, 2002)Direct viable counts (DVC) of bacteria were quantified from polluted and relatively less/non-polluted coastal locations during different seasons to assess whether they can be routinely monitored for an understanding of ... -
Marine outfall location off South Chennai
(Cent. for Earth Sci. Stud., Cochin (India), 1997)Disposal of industrial effluents into open sea envisages a through study of the marine environment in the vicinity of the outfall. Sufficient dilution and dispersion of the effluent has to take place before it reaches the ... -
Marine pollution monitoring and coastal processes off Andhra Coast
(Indian Inst. of Technol., New Delhi and NIO, India, 1994)Coastal and nearshore areas are gaining importance due to several factors. Protection of marine environment from industrial and domestic effluents into the coastal waters, development of harbours, jetties and other offshore ... -
Mercury in sediments of Ulhas estuary
(Elsevier, 2003)Hg levels in water, suspended particulate matter and sediment of the Ulhas estuary are under considerable environmental stress due to the indiscriminate release of effluents from a variety of industries including chlor-alkali ... -
Nearshore hydrography off Visakhapatnam, East coast of India, during winter
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)Based on hydrographic data and time series data of currents and temperature, the nearshore hydrographic structure during winter (November, 1981) has been studied to examine the possibility of discharging industrial effluents ... -
Numerical analyses of soft bottom macroinvertebrates to diagnose the pollution in tropical coastal waters
(Springer, 2003)Soft bottom benthic organisms especially polychaetes are known to adapt as r or k selected strategies to different gradients of pollution. This will result in changes of benthic community structure from that of normal ...
