Sulfate reducing potential in an estuarine beach
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1985)
Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) and their activity (SRA) together with total anaerobic and aerobic bacterial flora were estimated during July 1982-April 1983 and July-August 1984 from 1, 3 and 5 cm depths using core samples. ...
The effect of salinity on some endocommensalic ciliates from shipworms
(Society of Fisheries Technologists, 1985)
The ciliates, Nucleocorbula adherens, Boveria teredinidi, Trichodina balakrishnia, Thigmozoon fencheli and Nyctothereus marina, live inside the mantle cavity of the ship-worms in the estuaries and backwaters of the south-west ...
Dissolved organic nutrients and phytoplankton production in the Mandovi estuary and coastal waters of Goa
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1984)
Total organic nitrogen (TON) and dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) in the coastal and estuarine waters of Goa, India varied from 0.6 to 47.1 mu g-at N 1-1 and 0.12 to 3.49 mu g-at P l-1 respectively. The chlorophyll content ...
The shrinking backwaters of Kerala
(Marine Biological Association of India, 1983)
The most serious anthropogenic environmental alteration taken place in the estuaries of Kerala, India in the living memory, is it's alarming rate of reduction in extent. Vembanad Kayal, the largest backwaters system on the ...
Contribution of Phytoplankton Photosynthesis to a Mangrove Ecosystem
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
Primary production in a fringing mangrove ecosystem was measured using two techniques. The first estimated gross oxygen production and community metabolism based on the diel difference in dissolved oxygen concentrations. ...

(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Macrobenthos in Mandovi, Cumbarjua canal and Zuari estuaries, a physically interconnected tropical estuarine system which undergoes large seasonal changes in salinity distribution due to heavy monsoonal precipitation, is ...
The Protozoan Associates of some Crustaceans
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
Protozoan associates found on the estuarine shrimp Metapenaeus monoceros (Fabricius) and the tanaidacean Apseudes chilkensis (Chilton) from Cochin backwaters have been described. A peritrich ciliate Zoothamnium rigidum ...
Seasonal Variations in Secondary Production of the Mandovi-Zuari Estuarine System of Goa
