Lack of seasonal and geographic variation in mesozooplankton biomass in the Arabian Sea and its structure in the mixed layer
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1996)
Mesozooplankton standing stock, abundance and composition were studied during three seasons (summer, winter and inter-monsoon) from coastal and open ocean waters of the central and eastern Arabian Sea in 1994-95. Concentrations ...
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 ...
Enhanced abundance of tintinnids under elevated CO2 level from coastal Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2012)
The role of microzooplankton (MZP) in the pelagic trophodynamics is highly significant, but the responses of marine MZP to increasing CO2 levels are rather poorly understood. Hence the present study was undertaken to ...
Population abundance and species composition of chaetognaths in the Bombay harbour-Thana and Bassein creek estuarine complex
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)
Detailed study on the abundance, distribution and species composition of chaetognaths from the Bombay harbour-Thana and Bassein creek estuarine complex was carried out from October 1985 to September 1986. Percentage ...
An overview of the planktonic foraminiferal fauna in waters off the Kerala Coast, south-west India during summer
(Marine Biological Association of India, 1997)
Twentyeight species of planktonic Foraminifera are recorded from 46 plankton samples collected from 27 stations of 5 traverses along the Kerala Coast. The mean abundance of total foraminiferal sepcimens of all the stations ...
Ostracods of Andaman Sea
(Department of Ocean Development, New Delhi (India), 1996)
Distribution of 12 species of ostracods was studied from the waters around Andaman-Nicobar area. Euconchoecia aculeata was the most abundant species occurring mostly as swarms with a maximum density of 9732 specimens/1000 ...
Trace metal dynamics in zooplankton from the Bay of Bengal during summer monsoon
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2010)
Trace metal (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb) concentrations in zooplankton from the mixed layer were investigated at 8 coastal and 20 offshore stations in the western Bay of Bengal during the summer monsoon of 2003. The ...
Zooplankton characteristics of the coastal ecosystem off Bombay, India
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, 1998)
The nearshore waters of Bombay sustain a rich and diverse zooplankton fauna. Continuous observations for a period of 15 months indicated a variation from 0.4 to 19.9 mg C.m sup(3) (av. 4.3 mg C.m sup(-3)) in zooplankton ...
An overview of dinoflagellate cysts in recent sediments along the west coast of India
(NISCAIR (CSIR), 2011)
Distribution and abundance of dinoflagellate cysts in recent sediments along the west coast of India (26 coastal stations and 3 ports) is presented. A total of 47 different types of cysts and a maximum abundance of 1076 ...
Zooplankton standing stock, community structure and diversity in the northern Arabian Sea
(Department of Ocean Development, New Delhi, India, 1996)
The effects of large scale oil spill, which occurred during the Gulf War in 1991 on zooplankton standing stock, community structure and diversity in the northern Arabian Sea were studied. Surface (1-0 m) and vertical ...
