Biological characteristics of Central Indian Basin waters during the southern summer
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
Phytoplankton biomass, taxonomy, primary productivity, and photosynthetically available radiation (PAR) were studied as part of baseline data collection for prospective nodule mining in the Central Indian Basin during the ...
Health status of the coastal waters of Mumbai and regions around
(Bookwell, New Delhi, India, 2000)
The coastal marine environment of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India and regions around receives the domestic wastewater generated of around 1800 million litres per day (mld), mostly untreated. In addition, a large number of ...
The next generation of iron fertilization experiments in the Southern Ocean
(The Royal Society, 2008)
Of the various macro-engineering schemes proposed to mitigate global warming, ocean iron fertilization (OIF) is one that could be started at short notice on relevant scales. It is based on the reasoning that adding trace ...
Assessment of biological characteristics on coastal environment of Murud (Maharashtra) during the oil spill (17 May 1993)
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)
A rupture of a feeder riser pipeline resulted in spillage of crude oil estimated to be 3000-8000 tonnes in Bombay High Region on 17 May 1993. The treated spill broken down into several patches and drifted south and finally ...
Features at some significant estuaries of India
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)
The river basins of India are classified into three groups on the basis of catchment areas: (1) above 20,000 km sup(2), (2) 2,000-20,000 km sup(2) and (3) less than 2,000 km sup(2). The total number of rivers under first ...
Hydrographic characteristics of the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1999)
Oceanographic studies in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean (58-61 degrees S and 30-40 degrees E) carried out during December 1995 and March 1996 indicate a 3-layer structure typical of summer in the oceanic domain ...
Trophic efficiency of plankton food webs: Observations from the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Bay, Southeast Coast of India
(Elsevier, 2013)
This paper introduces the structure and trophic efficiency of plankton food webs in the Gulf of Mannar (GoM) and the Palk Bay (PB) - two least studied marine environments located between India and Sri Lanka. The study is ...
A comparative study on mesozooplankton abundance and diversity between a protected and an unprotected coastal area of Andaman Islands.
(Springer, 2014)
The study was carried out to understand the variability in phytoplankton production (Chlorophyll a) and mesozooplankton diversity from two different shallow coastal regions of south Andaman viz. Port Blair Bay (PBB), the ...
Biomass relations between phytoplankton and zooplankton in Goa waters
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1984)
Biomass of phytoplankton and zooplankton, measured as particulate oxidizable carbon, shows that at shallowest stations (5 m) there is large excess of phytoplankton organic carbon over zooplankton carbon in all the samples ...
Empirical relationships between phytoplankton and zooplankton biomass in Indian Ocean
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1984)
Empirical models based on regression analysis are derived using published values of phytoplankton and crustacean zooplankton biomass from Indian Ocean. Three regression models are derived. There is significant correlation ...
