Biomass relations between phytoplankton and zooplankton in Goa waters
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1984)
Biomass of phytoplankton and zooplankton, measured as particulate oxidizable carbon, shows that at shallowest stations (5 m) there is large excess of phytoplankton organic carbon over zooplankton carbon in all the samples ...
Empirical relationships between phytoplankton and zooplankton biomass in Indian Ocean
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1984)
Empirical models based on regression analysis are derived using published values of phytoplankton and crustacean zooplankton biomass from Indian Ocean. Three regression models are derived. There is significant correlation ...
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 ...
Meiobenthos of Saphala salt marsh, west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1987)
Benthic fauna of the salt marsh comprised 10 taxonomic groups, dominated by nematodes (63.9%), harpacticoids (18.5%), turbellaria (5.6%), crustacean nauplii (5.4%) and polychaetes (4.1%). The population density varied from ...
Growth and production of benthic bivalve, Gafrarium pectinatum (Linn.) from west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)
Production of Gafrarium pectinatum was characterized by the presence of 0,1 and 2 y age groups Average monthly growth in length varied from 0.6 to 3mm The relationship between length and weight was isometric The average ...
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 ...
Zooplankton standing stock and composition in coastal waters of Goa, west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1985)
Temporal and spatial variability in standing stock and zooplankton composition at 5 stations along the Goa Coast, India during 1975-76 were studied. Standing stock values ranged from 22.81 to 53.65 mg C.m/3. Zooplankton ...
Neuston composition in central Arabian Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1989)
Composition of neuston in the Arabian Sea (lat. 16-19 degrees N., long. 60-72 degrees E) was studied. The standing stock ranged between 1.5 and 49.3 ml (100 m2)-1. Copepoda was generally the dominant group, forming on ...
Observations on marine macrophytes of the republic of Seychelles
(Walter de Gruyter, Berlin, 1989)
The distribution of macrophytes was studies from the major islands (Mahe, Praslin and La Digue) of the Seychelles Archipelago. The macrophytes were represented by 72 species of seaweeds, 8 species of mangroves and 6 species ...
Zooplankton studies in Visakhapatnam harbour and nearshore waters, east coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1988)
Distribution of zooplankton biomass in the waters studied showed remarkable variations. The faunal composition was very diverse and the number of species present was more especially during late pre- and post-monsoon seasons ...
