Biodeterioration of wood in estuarine ecosystem of Goa
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)
An assessment of macrofouling and wood boring community at different localities of Zuari and Mandovi estuaries of Goa carried out. Wood panels of Mangifera indica of 10 x 15 x 2.5 cm size were exposed in this investigation. ...
Starvation threshold of Balanus amphitrite larvae in relation to temperature
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)
Energy content in the non-feeding (lecithotrophic) cyprid larvae of B. amphitrite plays an important role in determining its metamorphic characteristics. In this context it is important to understand the energy transformed ...
Influence of bacterial exopolymers, conspecific adult extract and salinity on the cyprid metamorphosis of Balanus amphitrite (Cirripedia: Thoracica)
(Blackwell, 1998)
The influence of bacterial exopolymers and conspecific adult extract of Balanus amphitrite on metamorphosis of cyprid larvae at different salinities has been evaluated through laboratory assay. The bacterial exopolymers ...
Macrofouling community development at tropical coastal environment (New Mangalore Port, West Coast of India)
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)
Recruitment of macrofouling community in tropical waters is generalised as an year round phenomenon. Of course localities which are influenced by seasonal variation in fresh water run-off, mainly during monsoon could be ...
Ecology of the wood-boring bivalve Martesia striata (Pholadidae) in Indian waters
(Academic Press, 1999)
Martesia striata is one of the dominant wood-boring organisms found in Indian waters. Incidence of this organism in the Zuari estuary (Goa) was evaluated by exposing wooden panels (Mangifera indica) to the marine environment ...
Larvae of fouling organisms and macrofouling at New Mangalore Port, west coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)
Polychaetes, bryozoans, barnacles and ascidians were the dominant groups in the fouling community at New Mangalore Port. Polychaete and cirripede larvae were encountered throughout the year. Even though bivalve were present ...
Influence of food concentration, temperature and salinity on the larval development of Balanus amphitrite
(Springer, 1996)
Influence of food concentration (0.5, 1 and 2 x 10 sup(5) cell ml sup(-1) of Skeletonema costatum), temperature (20 and 30 degrees C) and salinity (15, 25 and 35 ppt) on the larval development of Balanus amphitrite ...
Ecology of ascidians in the macrofouling community of New Mangalore Port
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)
Ascidians constitute a major component of macrofouling community at the New Mangalore Port during the premonsoon season (February-May). The presence of ascidians in these waters is being reported for the first time. Ascidian ...
Record of imposex in Cronia konkanensis (Gastropoda, Muricidae) from Indian waters
(Elsevier, 1999)
This study for the first time records the phenomenon of imposed in gastropods from Indian waters. The gastropods were collected from three stations located in Goa: Marmugao Harbour, Dona Paula and Arambol. Imposex was ...
