Benthic fauna of Ungwana Bay, Mombassa (Kenya) - A preliminary account
(Scientific Information Centre-PCSIR, 1987)Studies on the benthic fauna of African waters have largely been limited to that of South Africa coast [3,5;7,9,15,18]. Although, the Mombassa Coast is considered importanat for the exploitation of fishery resources. Very ... -
Benthic macroinvertebrate community structure and distribution in the Ayeyarwady continental shelf, Andaman Sea
(NISCAIR (CSIR), 2012)Quantitative assessment of macrofaunal community of Ayeyarwady continental shelf, Andaman Sea was studied during April-May 2002. About 27 major taxa were identified. Abundance of fauna was in the order of polychaetes ... -
Bottom Fauna of the Malacca Strait
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)Bottom fauna of Malacca Strait (connecting the Indian Ocean with Pacific) in the depth range of 80 to 1350 m, is dominated by meiofauna which exceeds macrofauna by 12.5 times in weight and by more than 780 times in population ... -
Ecology of Benthic Production in the Coastal Zone of Goa
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)Qualitative and quantitative differences in the spatial temporal distribution and production of benthic macrofauna in pre- and post-monsoon were observed and the differences are discussed in relation to the environmental ... -
Effect of high organic enrichment of benthic polychaete population in an estuary
(Elsevier, 1986)The benthic polychaete fauna of an estuarine region receiving domestic sewage and wastes from a nearby fish landing jetty was compared to that of a site having normal organic enrichment. The population density, biomass and ... -
Effect of mining activities on the clam fisheries and bottom fauna of Goa estuaries
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1986)Comparison of two clam beds and associated benthic fauna, in Mandovi and Cumbarjua canal estuarine system of Goa, India, severely affected by massive inputs of mining rejects, revealed that, in less than 10 years (1972-73 ... -
Immediate response of meio and macrobenthos to disturbance caused by a benthic disturber
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, Cupertino, CA (USA), 1999)The probable impact of nodule mining on benthic biota was studied by creating a benthic disturbance. During the predisturbance study in the Central Indian Basin, box core samples were analyzed for the distribution, composition ... -
Organic enrichment and benthic fauna–Some ecological consideration.
(NISCAIR, 2014)In the present study, synoptic data on the structure of macroinfauna and total organic content of sediment collected from different sources were analyzed to look for patterns of association consistent with conceptual model ... -
Organochlorine pesticide compounds in organisms from the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 1994)Zooplankton and bottom-feeding fish (four species) from the coastal Bay of Bengal were analysed for residues of DDT, DDD, DDE and aldrin, Concentrations of t-DDT (DDT+DDD+DDE) ranging from 1.31 to 115.90 ngg @u-1@@ wet ... -
Role of environmental heterogeneity in structuring the macrobenthic community in a tropical sandy beach, west coast of India
(Springer, 2012)In most ecosystems, community structure emerges as a result of the complex interaction between biotic and environmental variables. Sandy beaches connected to adjacent ecosystem like estuaries/creeks provide an opportunity ... -
Subtidal benthic macrofauna of the Mangalore Coast, west coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)Subtidal macrobenthic fauna from the Mangalore Coast was studied from the shelf areas between the old Mangalore Port and Suratkal, covering an area of approximately 40 km sup(2). Benthic bivalves were the most abundant ...
