Phosphorus retention capacity of sediments in Mandovi estuary (Goa)
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1984)
Experiments carried out under controlled conditions to study P retention capacity of sediments indicate that the processes of adsorption and desorption of P are pH dependent. Adsorption of P is maximum (58-99%) at pH 4. ...
Clay mineral distribution on the Kerala continental shelf and slope
(Geological Society of India, 1983)
Seventy-five sediment samples collected from the Kerala continental shelf and slope during the 17th and 71st Cruises of @iRV gaveshani@@ were analysed by X-ray diffraction for clay mineral cntent. The distribution of total ...
Metal distribution in Halophila beccarii (Aschers) and sorrounding environment along the central west coast of India
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1983)
Halophila beccarii (Aschers), the surrounding water and the sediments showed varying concentrations of Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, Sr and Li at different localities along central west coast of India. Iron was found to ...
Nannoplankton from RC9-156 in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Geological Society of India, 1983)
A deep sea core RC9-156 collected in the Arabian Sea at a water depth of 4583 m was analysed for calcareous nannoplankton and dissolution studies. Twelve species of nannoplankton were identified and based on the assemblage, ...
Anomalous behaviour of uranium isotopes in backwater sediments of Zuari river
(Elsevier, 1983)
The surface leaching of the labile component of uranium has been carried out in estuarine sediments of Zuari River in Goa, India The measurements of alpha activities of sup(238) U, sup(235) U and sup(234) U in the leachates ...
A preliminary investigation of fine sediment dynamics in Cumbarjua canal, Goa
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1983)
A preliminary field investigation was carried out in a 10 km reach of Cumbarjua Canal, Goa, India, where the sediment is in the fine size range, and the flow is primarily tide-induced. Results based on observations made ...
Geochemistry of Sediment cores of the Western Equatorial Indian Ocean
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1983)
Geochemical investigations including partition analysis have been carried out on nine sediment cores from the western equatorial Indian Ocean. The results show that a core from the Arabian Sea exhibits a greater terrigenous ...
Trace Metal Levels in the Sediments of the Cochin Backwaters
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1982)
Levels of Cu, Mn, Co, Ni and Zn at four stations in the northern arm of the Cochin backwaters, Kerala, India, which runs through an industrial belt is reported. All metals showed some degree of variation over the area ...
Determination of copper in natural waters and sediments by extraction spectroscopic method
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1982)
A sensitive extraction spectrophotometric method has been developed based on the formation and extraction of Cu(II)-neocuproine-rosenbengal into chloroform. The molar extinction coefficient of the system is 55.500 and ...
Bacteriological studies off Mangalore coast
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1982)
Bacteriological studies of sediment and water in the near shore region off Mangalore showed that both limnotolerant and halotolerant bacteria were present. Significant inter-correlation (quantitative and qualitative) could ...
