Monsoon induced seasonal variability of sheltered versus exposed beaches along the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 1987)
Changes in profile configuration of the beaches at different locations along the west coast of India have been quantitatively compared by means of Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis. These beaches, though exposed ...
Physico-chemical characteristics and circulation of waters in the Mauritius-Seychelles Ridge Zone, southwest Indian Ocean
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1987)
Seasonal pattern of temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, phosphate, nitrate and silicate profiles of the Mahanadi estuary have been studied On the basis of physical characteristics, Mahanadi estuarine system can ...
Variations of dissolved oxygen in Mandovi and Zuari estuaries
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)
During non-monsoon months the estuaries were well mixed showing uniform oxygen concentrations from surface to bottom. However, during monsoon months both the estuaries showed stratified conditions with surface water showing ...
Biology of commercially important penaeid prawns of Goa waters
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)
Recruitment of Metapenaeus dobsoni from the estuary to the exploitable stock occurred at 50-60 mm size as against 70-80 mm for etapenaeus affinis and 80-90 mm for Penaeus merguiensis. Seasonal and monthly variations in ...
Atypical behaviour of dissolved silicate in the Cochin backwater and Periyar river
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1984)
Dissolved silicate was determined for 1 y (1982-83) covering a wide range of salinity from the estuarine mouth to the fresh water region. Silicate concentration ranged between 0.03 and 4.75 mgl/1. Silicate-salinity ...
Seasonal variability of the temperature field off the south-west coast of India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1984)
The temperature field in the coastal region off south-west India exhibits a well marked annual cycle. Around March the isotherms develop an upward tilt near the coast. The magnitude of the tilt increases continuously till ...
Growth of the Black Clam, Villorita cyprinoides (Grey) from Colvale river (Goa)
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1984)
Average monthly growth in shell length was 1.66 mm in Villorita cyprinoides. Relationships of shell length/shell width and shell length/shell breadth showed linear pattern while those of shell length/shell weight and shell ...
Seasonal variation in the proximate composition of rock oyster Saccostrea cucullata from Bombay coast
(Indian Fisheries Association, 1989)
Changes in proximate composition of soft tissue of rock oyster Saccostrea cucullata inhabiting a polluted station at Bandra (stn. B) and a relatively clean area at Mudh Island (stn. M) were studied. An average protein ...
Evaporation over the Arabian Sea during two contrasting monsoons
(Springer, 1989)
Monthly mean surface fields of different meteorological parameters and evaporation are studied for the 1979 (poor monsoon) and 1983 (good monsoon) monsoon seasons over the Arabian Sea, in order to understand the role of ...
Sediment boron and its relation to sediment properties in a tropical estuary
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1988)
Boron in the sediments of Mandovi estuary varied from 8.0 to 258.0 ppm with an average of 118 ppm. It showed an inverse relation to the texture of sediments and was found to be concentrated in silt and clay fraction with ...
