Diurnal variation in zooplankton in the Zuari Estuary, west coast of India
(Marine Biological Association of India, 1997)
Variations in zooplankton biomass and population density in relation to the prevailing hydrographical conditions were studied in Zuari Estuary, Goa. The physico-chemical parameters showed limited variations. Zooplankton ...
Distribution and abundance of copepods in the pollution gradient zones of Bombay Harbour-Thana Creek-Bassein Creek, west coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1997)
Forty six species of copepods were identified, of which, 40 belonged to Calanoida with an overall dominance of Acartiidae. Acartia spinicauda, A. centrura and Centropages dorsispinatus were the common species throughout ...
First evidence of tumor-like anomaly infestation in Copepods from the central Indian Ridge
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2008)
To investigate the distribution and abundance of mesozooplankton in the Indian Ocean, zooplankton sampling was conducted along the Central Indian Ridge (CIR) from the equatorial waters to 8 degrees S latitude. Of the seven ...
Decline in biodiversity of copepods in coastal waters of Mumbai
(MEDCOAST, 2013)
Coastal waters of metropolitan cities face severe ecological threat due to sewage discharge and effluents from the industries. Copepods being the most abundant component in zooplankton some species can act as signals of ...
Physical forcing of biological productivity in the northern Arabian Sea during the northeast monsoon
(Pergamon, 2001)
Time-series observations at a nominally fixed location in the northern Arabian Sea (21 degrees N, 64 degrees E) during the Northeast Monsoon (winter, February) of 1997 showed the prevalence of cold sea-surface temperatures ...
Seasonal variations in carbon biomass of bacteria, thraustochytrids and microzooplankton in the northern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2005)
As a part of the JGOFS-India Programme, abundance of heterotrophic bacteria (Hbac; 0-2000 m), thraustochytrids (0-2000 m), microzooplankton (0-200m occasionally up to 300 m) as well as bacterial growth rates (0-500 m) were ...
Zooplankton composition in Dharamtar creek adjoining Bombay harbour
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)
Dharamtar creek (Bombay, India) creek maintained rich zooplankton standing stock (av. 30.3 ml 100 m/3) with peak production during August-November. Zooplankton production rate for the entire system amounted to 10.32 mg ...
Biodiversity of chaetognaths of the Andaman Sea, Indian Ocean.
(Elsevier, 2010)
Andaman Sea is a prominent biodiversity hotspot in the Indian Ocean. Stratified zooplankton collections were taken at 33 locations during 2003-2006. Average density of chaetognaths was 8.5/msup(3) in open ocean and 41.6/m ...
Horizontal and vertical distribution of Chaetognatha in the upper 1000 m of the western Sargasso Sea and the Central and South-east Atlantic.
(Elsevier, 2010)
The chaetognath abundance, species richness and bathymetric distribution in the upper 1000 m in two regions of the Atlantic Ocean is discussed based on samples collected on two cruises, one to the Sargasso Sea (Northwest ...
Biological characteristics of the Vashishti Estuary, Maharashtra (west coast of India)
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)
The estuary and coastal nearshore regions sustained fairly high concentration of chlorophyll a (av. 3.1 mg/m sup(3)) and primary productivity (av. 89.9 mgC/m sup(3)/h). High rate of primary productivity wos observed in the ...
