Seafloor and sediment characteristics in INDEX AREA
(Metal Mining Agency of Japan, 1997)
Seafloor surveys and sediment sampling during the INDEX (Indian Deep-Sea Environmental Experiment) studies in the Central Indian Basin, resulted in identification of Test and Reference Areas, as well of establishment of ...
Microscale response of sediment variables to benthic disturbance in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)
The response of sediment bacteria and biochemical variables to benthic disturbance was investigated in the Central Indian Ocean Basin from cores at nine stations. Generally, bacterial density and biochemical variables ...
A note on the Pavonina flabelliformis D'Orbigny (benthic foraminifera) from the Arabian Sea
(Association of Korean Geoscience Societies, 1994)
The detailed study of the inner shelf surface sediments off Karwar (India) revealed the occurrence of a benthic foraminiferal species Pavonina flabelliformis. This is the first report of this species in the Arabian Sea. ...
Biodiversity of benthic polychaetes from the coastal waters of Paradip, Bay of Bengal
(Annon., 2007)
Polychaete communities of the subtidal waters off Paradip, Orissa, India (Lat, 20 degrees 05 minutes - 20 degrees 20 minutes N and Long. 86 degrees 35 minutes - 86 degrees 60 minutes E) in the Bay of Bengal were studied ...
Benthos of the Narmada estuary
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)
Distribution of benthos in relation to environmental characteristics has been studied along a stretch of 55 km in the Narmada Estuary. Higher abundance of macro and meio fauna were noticed along the upper and lower reaches ...
Meiofauna of the Andaman Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Total meiofauna of the Andaman Sea, in the depth range 30-2150m was between 68 and 438/10cm2 (X-bar = 247.8). The biomass was within the range 3.57 and 32.8mg/10cm 2 (X-bar = 14.46). faunal components were maximum in sandy ...
Relationship between Benthic Foraminifera and Sediment in the Estuarine Complex of Goa
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
Two indices of community association were used to elucidate the relationship between changes in species composition of benthic foraminifera and changes in the grain size composition of the sediment in estuarine complex of ...
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. ...
Sediments of the western continental shelf of India - Environmental significance
(Geological Society of India, 1979)
The degree of fragmentation and colour of the skeletal fragments, colouration in benthic foraminifers have been studied in surficial sediment samples collected from forty stations from the continental shelf region between ...
Geotechnical properties of surface sediments in the INDEX area
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)
As a part of the environmental impact assessment studies, geotechnical properties of sediments were determined in the Central Indian Basin. The undrained shear strength and index properties of the siliceous sediments were ...
