Abyssal benthos of the Central Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 1982)
Quantitative studies of the abyssal benthos (3600 to 5300 m) of the central Indian Ocean show a rich fauna and high standing crops. Density of 3 meiofaunal and 12 macrofaunal taxa are large (2175 to 15233; chi = 6441 m-2). ...
Distribution of Meiobenthos and Macrobenthos at the mouth of some Rivers of the East Coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1982)
Distribution of meio- and macrobenthos of muddy bottom deposits at the mouth of Krishna, Godavari, Mahanadi and Hooghly rivers was studied from replicate sampling Total meiofauna ranged from 226 animals/4.5 cm super(2) to ...
Benthic macrofauna of the Andaman Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Macrobenthic fauna in the depth range 11 to 2150m comprised 22 faunal taxa. Of these, the polychaetes were the most dominant group and contributed 76.8%. Distribution of macrofauna was substrate specific with maximum (410m ...
Seasonal Changes in Meat Weight and Biochemical Composition in the Black Clam Villorita Cyprinoides (Grey)
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Seasonal changes in meat weight and biochemical composition are associated with reproduction, storage and utilization of reserves. The main period of increase in biochemical constituents corresponds to gametogenesis and ...
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 ...
Meiofauna of the Andaman Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Total meiofauna of the Andaman Sea, in the depth range 30-2150m was between 68 and 438/10cm2 (X-bar = 247.8). The biomass was within the range 3.57 and 32.8mg/10cm 2 (X-bar = 14.46). faunal components were maximum in sandy ...
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 ...
Distribution of Sub-Littoral Meiobenthos off Goa Coast, India
(Springer, 1980)
Benthos of the Shelf Region along the West Coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Distribution and abundance of benthos in the depth range of 10-70 m were studied. A definite relationship was observed between benthic biomass, organic carbon, nature of substrata and demersal fish catch. Benthic biomass ...
