Growth parameters in the cultured green mussel Perna viridis L. from the Zuari Estuary, Goa
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)
Growth parameters for both length and weight were estimated in the raft-grown population of Perna viridis. The asymptotic length (L approaches infinity) and weight (W ) were computed to be 85 mm and 34.37 g respectively. ...
Maturation of the penaeid prawn Metapenaeus moyebi in Mandovi Estuary, Goa
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)
Metapenaeus moyebi contributed a good share of penaeid prawn population in the Mandovi Estuary of Goa, India throughout the year. Both males and females of this species with fully mature gonads were observed in the estuary, ...
Meiofaunal stratification in relation to microbial food in a tropical mangrove mud flat
(International Society of Tropical Ecology, Varanasi, India, 1993)
The vertical gradients of meiofauna mainly in relation to biochemical changes and microbial abundance in the upper 20 cm of deposit of a mangrove mud flat were studied. Strong vertical gradients in the redox potential (Eh), ...
Limnology of freshwater lakes of Schirmacher Oasis, East Antarctica
(Indian National Science Academy, 1993)
Ten freshwater lakes in the Schirmacher Oasis, Antarctica, with water temperature varying from 1.0 to 7.9 degrees; dissolved oxygen from 10.4 to 13.8 mg l/1 and pH from 7.6 to 8.8, were studied biologically during ...
Biological processes of the northern Indian Ocean
(University of Hamburg, Germany, 1993)
Physical processes such as wind-driven coastal run-off during the monsoons and convective overturning of surface waters due to winter cooling bring in nutrients into the euphotic zone and enhance primary productivity of ...
Maturation of Metapenaeus moyebi (Kishinouye) in Goa estuaries
(University of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram, 1993)
An assessment of the stake net fishery in the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries of Goa revealed that Metapenaeus moyebi, a penaeid prawn hitherto rarely recorded in Indian waters, formed a good percentage of the estuarine prawn ...
Particulate organic constituents of surface waters of east coast of India
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)
Particulate matter collected from surface seawater (approx 1 m) samples from 11 coastal (depth less than 200 m) and 40 oceanic (depth > 200 m ) stations was studied for particulate organic carbon (POC), particulate ...
Estuarine biology and management
(Society of Biosciences, Muzaffarnagar, India, 1993)
Estuaries are highly productive and areas of intense activity such as fishing, harbour development and aquaculture. They are also nursery grounds for many organisms. However, they are often subject to heavy human interference. ...
