Ecology of intertidal benthic algae of Northern Karnataka coast
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1989)
The intertidal benthic marine algal flora has been studied for distribution, phenology, biomass and zonation along with the environmental conditions. About 65 species belonging to 42 genera of Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta have ...
Seasonal patterns of phytoplankton biomass and productivity in a tropical estuarine complex (west coast of India)
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1989)
Phytoplankton cell numbers and chlorophyll a determinations were made during the premonsoon, monsoon and postmonsoon periods in the Mandovi-Zuari estuarine complex (west coast of India). Primary productivity estimates ...
Biological and biochemical characterization of microfouling on aluminium panels placed in the Arabian Sea
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1989)
Microfouling biomass was higher in the shelf waters (< 200 m) as compared with the slope waters (> 200 m). Bacteria were first to colonize on the aluminium surfaces as irregular formations during the initial stages of ...
The influence of dissolved petroleum hydrocarbon residues on natural phytoplankton biomass
(Elsevier, 1988)
The effect of dissolved petroleum hydrocarbons in the environment on phytoplankton biomass measured as chlorophyll a was studied near the oil tanker route in the southern Bay of Bengal. In the transect from 5 degrees N, ...
Distribution of particulate organic carbon in the central Arabian Sea
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1988)
Particulate organic carbon (POC) of 161 water samples collected from 8 depths (surface to 1000m) at 21 stations was measured. The POC concentrations ranged from 154 to 554 kappa g per litre at the surface and decreased in ...
Biomass, organic carbon and calorific content of zooplankton from the Arabian Sea off Central West coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1988)
Organic carbon content and calorific values of zooplankton varied from 18.35 to 32.49% (av. 27.8%) and from 2.56 to 4.71 k cal. g-1 dry wt (av. 3.99) respectively. Areawise off Gujarat sustained higher standing stock of ...
Unusual congregation of salps off Veraval and Bombay, west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1988)
During September to October swarming of salps occur along the coasts off Veraval and Bombay. These congregations off Veraval are contributed by the single species Pegea confoederata recording an unusual biomass as high as ...
Benthos off Cochin, Southwest coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1987)
Macro-invertebrate benthic fauna off Cochin mainly composed of polychaeta (82.45%), crustacea (7.62%), mollusca (5.92%), sipuncula (2.25%), nemertinea (0.96%) and echinodermata (0.80%). The maximum population density and ...
Studies on the intertidal macrofauna of the sandy beach at Kavarati atoll (Lakshadweep)
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1986)
The distribution of macrofauna in Kavaratti Atoll is studied in the intertidal region for over a period of 13 months. Several diversity in the faunal composition was not observed. The polychaete Scoloplos sp. and the bivalve ...
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 ...
