Plankton of the Narmada Estuary and Adjacent Creeks
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)
Phytoplankton pigments and abundance of zooplankton in the Narmada Estuary, Bukki Creek and Dahej Creek were studied from March to September, 1979. The river sustained an appreciable quantity of phytoplankton pigments with ...
Mercury in Thana Creek, Bombay Harbour
(Elsevier, 1981)
Mercury content of the water column estimated along Thana Creek/Bombay Harbour gave a standing stock of about 77 kg in excess of the expected background. Mercury concentration in sediment from 23 locations which varied ...
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 ...
Zooplankton Variability in Polluted and Unpolluted Waters off Bombay
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)
Zooplankton abundance in the waters around Bombay was studied at Versova, Bombay Harbour (less polluted), Mahim and Thana (highly polluted) from October 1977 to December 1978. A rich zooplankton population was observed ...
Ecology of Seagrass Bed of Halophila Beccarii (Aschers) in Mandovi Estuary, Goa
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Halophila beccarii which prefers soft and silty substratum. It showed salinity tolerance from O to 33ppt. High nitrate (7.02 mu g at/litre) and phosphate (2.21 mu g at/litre) were recorded in July and November respectively ...
Zooplankton Abundance of the Andaman Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Zooplankton biomass and abundance of major groups from the Andaman Sea in February 1979 are presented. Average zooplankton biomass is 5.6 ml/100 m3 and is generally poor compared to reported values from east and west coasts ...
Biomass and Composition of Zooplankton in Auranga, Ambika, Purna and Mindola Estuaries of South Gujarat
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Biomass and composition of zooplankton in the nearshore waters of Thal, Maharashtra, India were studied at 9 stations during Feb. 1980 to Jan. 1981. The recorded variation in zooplankton biomass was 4.8-80.6 ml.(100 m ...
Zooplankton Biomass and Composition in the Western Bay of Bengal during late SW Monsoon
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Copepoda formed the predominant group except in the southern region where a swarm of pelagic tunicates reduced their contribution to only 19% of the total zooplankton count. Decapod larvae occurred in fairly large numbers ...
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. ...
Chemical Oceanography of the Arabian sea. Part - V. Hydrochemical Characteristics off the Central West Coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Data from Arabian Sea cruises 46 (December 1978) and 59 (October 1979) of R V Gaveshani have been used to calculate rates of denitrification at intermediate depths (72-1200 m). About 34% of the available nitrate-nitrogen ...
