Primary production of tropical marine ecosystems
(Wiley Eastern, New Delhi, 1992)
Among tropical marine ecosystems estuaries are one of the highly productive areas and act as a nursery to large number of organisms. The primary production in most of the estuaries is less during the monsoon period. ...
Phytoplankton diversity, biomass, and production
(National Institute of Oceanography, India, 2007)
Mandovi-Zuari (M-Z) estuarine system, Goa, India experiences large variations in freshwater input, land runoff and seawater input in different seasons. The changes in input of these waters are also influenced by tides. In ...
Distribution of tributyltin (TBT) in the Mandovi estuary
(National Institute of Oceanography, India, 2007)
Organotins are used for several industrial applications. For example, they are used as stabilizers for polyvinyl chloride, plastic additives, insecticides, fungicides, bactericides, and wood preservatives and as constituents ...
Zooplankton variability and copepod assemblage in the coastal and estuarine waters of Goa along the central-west coast of India
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, 1998)
Seasonal variations in zooplankton distribution and community structure of copepod species in coastal and estuarine waters of Goa along the central-west coast of India are compared in relation to water temperature, salinity ...
Estuarine response of fluoride - Investigations in Azhikode Estuary
(Kalpana Corporation, 1995)
Concentrations of fluoride in Azhikode estuarine region (Kerala, India) were measured as a function of chlorinity during the different seasons. The type of behaviour indicated that fluoride was regulated by sea water ...
Mercury in sediments of Ulhas estuary
(Elsevier, 2003)
Hg levels in water, suspended particulate matter and sediment of the Ulhas estuary are under considerable environmental stress due to the indiscriminate release of effluents from a variety of industries including chlor-alkali ...
Seasonal shift in net ecosystem production in a tropical estuary
(American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, 2003)
Net ecosystem production was examined in the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries (southwestern India) and the adjoining coastal waters for a period of 1 yr (January to December 1998). The study period encompassed premonsoon, ...
Physico-chemical investigations in Auranga river estuary (Gujarat)
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1985)
The wastewater streams polluting the Auranga River Estuary were sampled periodically and pollution loads were quantified. The shallow estuary is well mixed with excellent flushing characteristics due to the high sea water ...
Features at some significant estuaries of India
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)
The river basins of India are classified into three groups on the basis of catchment areas: (1) above 20,000 km sup(2), (2) 2,000-20,000 km sup(2) and (3) less than 2,000 km sup(2). The total number of rivers under first ...
Characterization of Porteresia coarctata beds along the Goa coast, India
(Elsevier, 2006)
Porteresia coarctata, forms an important constituent in the plant succession leading to formation of mangrove communities along the estuaries in India. Major beds along the Mandovi estuary of Goa were monitored for their ...
