Ecology of Pleuromamma indica Wolfenden (Copepoda - Calanoida) in the Indian Ocean
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)
Pleuromamma indica was the only species among the 7 species of the genus, recorded in the area, to be present in 2 restricted areas, one near the mouth of the Gulf of Oman in the Arabian Sea and the other in the Bay of ...
Standing stock and biochemical composition of zooplankton in the northeastern Arabian Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1989)
During November-December 1985 - a period of this study showed significant difference in biomass (dry weight) among the coastal and oceanic waters. Ostracods were the predominant component (47 per cent) in the coastal zone ...
Zooplankton composition of the Kalpeni and Agatti atolls, Lakshadweep archiplago
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1989)
Composition of zooplankton in the lagoons was quite different from that of the sea and to a large extent, was independent of oceanic influence While copepods were dominant in the sea, meroplankton, particularly brachyuran ...
A new species of Gastrosaccus (Crustacea: Mysidacea) from the South West Coast of Australia
(Cambridge University Press, 1989)
A description of a new mysid Gastrosaccus robusta, is given. This species is distinguished from related species by possessing lobes on the carapace, a strong chitinous projection on the fifth abdominal segment, characters ...
Redescription of Pseudodiaptomus jonesi (Copepoda: Calanoida) with notes on its distribution
(Cambridge University Press, 1989)
Pseudodiaptomus jonesi Pillai 1970 is redescribed; several previously undescribed features are included and a few errors in the original description corrected. This species is assignable to the Ramosus group and ...
Total mercury in water, sediments, and animals along the Indian Coast
(Elsevier, 1988)
Total mercury (Hg) in water, sediments and animals along the coast of India is estimated. Water samples were collected on board of R.V. Gaveshani.The zooplankton samples were collected by Indian Ocean Standard Net and Heron ...
Studies on the planktonic Decapoda and Stomatopoda (Crustacea) from the western Bay of Bengal
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1988)
Abundance and distribution of decapods and stomatopods were studied, based on 90 samples collected from the western Bay of Bengal (Lat. 09 degrees 58' and 20 degrees 50'N and long. 80 degrees 00'E) between 24 August and 2 ...
Biomass, organic carbon and calorific content of zooplankton from the Arabian Sea off Central West coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1988)
Organic carbon content and calorific values of zooplankton varied from 18.35 to 32.49% (av. 27.8%) and from 2.56 to 4.71 k cal. g-1 dry wt (av. 3.99) respectively. Areawise off Gujarat sustained higher standing stock of ...
Unusual congregation of salps off Veraval and Bombay, west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1988)
During September to October swarming of salps occur along the coasts off Veraval and Bombay. These congregations off Veraval are contributed by the single species Pegea confoederata recording an unusual biomass as high as ...
Distribution of luminous bacteria and bacterial luminescence in the equatorial region of the Indian Ocean
(1988)
The number and species composition of luminous bacteria in seawater and zooplankton samples collected in the equatorial region of the Indian Ocean (Long. 49 degrees -60 degrees E; Lat. 4 degrees N-6 degrees S) were studied. ...
