Fluoride concentrations in Mandovi and Zuari estuaries are regulated largely by salt water intrusion. Highest concentrations are observed during the premonsoon season, when the salt water intrusion is also the highest, the ...

Inorganic nitrate and phosphate relationships with apparent oxygen utilization (AOU) in the Central Arabian Sea were studied using data collected during 103 cruise of R V Gaveshani (Feb. 1982). The consolidated ratio of ...

During non-monsoon months the estuaries were well mixed showing uniform oxygen concentrations from surface to bottom. However, during monsoon months both the estuaries showed stratified conditions with surface water showing ...

Behaviour of silicate, nitrate and phosphate in the Mandovi Estuary was studied during the premonsoon season. The study shows that silicate is removed from the water column while nitrate showed an internal source. This ...

There are 2 nitrite maxima in the Northern Arabian Sea, one at the thermocline depth and the other at depths between 300 and 500 m. The 2nd maximum is more prominent in the northeastern part of the Arabian Sea. The 1st ...

Concentrations of Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Pb, both in soluble and particulate forms were studied in the upper 200 m depth. Correlation between the trace metal concentration and the primary productivity was also investigated. ...

Distribution of phosphates and nitrates in relation to some physico-chemical features of the western Bay of Bengal during August-September 1976 indicated marked regional variations. The mixed surface layer which was ...
