Chlorophyll a, Phaeopigments and particulate Organic Carbon in the Northern and Western Bay of Bengal
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1982)
Distribution of chl a at surface closely corresponds to the surface flow patterns. Integral mean concentration (IMC) of chl a in inshore waters (depth 200 m) is double than that in the offshore waters (depth 200 m) while ...
Primary productivity of the Andaman Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
The average surface and column primary productivity, chl a and particulate organic carbon, estimated at 24 stations during Feb. 1979, were respectively 5.3 mg C/m3/d and 273 mg C/m2 /d; 0.03 mg/m3 and 3.64 mg/m2; and ...
Primary and Extracellular Production in the Andaman Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
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 ...
Food Components of the Andaman Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Detrital carbon in the Andaman Sea constitutes about 92% of the total particulate carbon while phytoplankton and zooplankton constitute small fractions of the total suspended matter. Latitudinal relationship between ...
Adaptations in Phytoplankton to Changing Conditions in Tropical Estuaries
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
Experimental studies on phytoplankton organisms from Cochin backwaters (a tropical estuary) have shown that many algal forms are adapted to changing conditions of salinity, light and nutrients. Photosynthesis in 12 species ...
Contribution of Phytoplankton Photosynthesis to a Mangrove Ecosystem
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
Primary production in a fringing mangrove ecosystem was measured using two techniques. The first estimated gross oxygen production and community metabolism based on the diel difference in dissolved oxygen concentrations. ...
Experimental studies on Urea Degradation in Seawater
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
The rate of urea degradation in seawater was studied under various conditions and the kinetics of urea degradation was evaluated. Urea decomposition experiments showed that the rates and quantity of ammonium oxidation were ...
Benthic Studies in Goa Estuaries. Part 3. Annual Cycle of Macrofaunal Distribution, Production and Trophic Relations
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Macrobenthos in Mandovi, Cumbarjua canal and Zuari estuaries, a physically interconnected tropical estuarine system which undergoes large seasonal changes in salinity distribution due to heavy monsoonal precipitation, is ...
