Dissolved particulate and sedimentary humic acids in the mangroves and estuarine ecosystem of Goa, west coast of India
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)Highest concentration of humic acids in all the three forms (dissolved, particulate and sedimentary) was found in the monsoon (June-September) when the salinity was minimum while the lowest concentrations was observed in ... -
Effect of Petroleum Products on Mangrove Seedlings
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)The effect of petrol, diesel and motor oil was studied on the fruits of Rhizophora mucronata and Avicennia officinalis. The former species was found to be more resistant to these petroleum products than the latter, in which ... -
Evaluation of mangrove ecosystem of India for assessing its vulnerability to projected climatic changes
(World Wide Fund for Nature-India, 2003)Mangrove habitats of ecological and socio-economic significance, forms thrust area under coastal zone management programme of the country. Global warming is expected to result in the global sea level rise affecting various ... -
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 ... -
Four marine-derived fungi for bioremediation of raw textile mill effluents
(Elsevier, 2010)Textile dye effluents pose environmental hazards because of color and toxicity. Bioremediation of these has been widely attempted. However, their widely differing characteristics and high salt contents have required ... -
Further studies in using mangrove foliage as a prawn feed
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1983)Changes in biochemical composition and energy content of foliage of eight mangrove species at various phases of life and during decay were studied. Decomposition resulted in loss of organic contents, carbon and C:N ratio ... -
Identification of mangroves and coral reefs in the southern Gulf of Kachchh using principal component analysis and geo-spatial techniques: A case study
(ESRI India, 2012)The major objectives of this study were to extract the coral reef zones and mangroves using IRS P6 LISS IV data by employing the most appropriate technique, suited for the particular feature. Firstly, a few sample locations ... -
Impact of climate change on mangrove forests along the south west coast: A case study from Kasargod, Kerala, India
(Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, 2004)Mangrove habitats are an important constituent of coastal wetlands. They are unique and located between sea and land, influenced by tidal and fresh water regimes, and hence are fragile in nature. The impact of sea level ... -
Impact of converison of mangrove ecosystem for aquaculture purposes
(Soc. of Ocean Sci. and Technol., New Delhi, India, 1994)Mangroves, one of the highly productive ecosystems are considered as nature's own aquaculture systems because species of marine fishes, molluscs and crustaceans use tham as nursery grounds. Thus the mangrove ecosystem ... -
Larval Migration and growth of Marine Prawns in the Estuarine Habitat
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1983)Larval migration and growth of @iMetapenaeus dobsoni, M. monoceros, M. affinis@@ and @iPenaeus merguiensis@@ were studied in the Mandovi Estuary and a nearby mangrove swamps for one year. In general, total number of larvae ... -
Life history and population dynamics of an estuarine amphipod, Eriopisa chilkensis Chilton (Gammaridae)
(Elsevier, 2007)The life cycle of the gammarid amphipod Eriopisa chilkensis Chilton from the Cochin estuary, south west coast of India, has been studied for the first time under laboratory conditions. Amphipods, especially gammarids, are ... -
Life in the oceanic realms
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2007)The marine environment includes the nutrient-rich coastal waters, relatively nutrient-poor open oceanic waters, coral reef atolls, metal-rich hydrothermal vent fluids with temperatures of 200-350°C, cold-seeps, estuaries, ... -
Litter fall and energy flux in a mangrove ecosystem
(Academic Press, 1997)Production, elemental composition and In situ decomposition of litter of Rhizophora apiculata, R. mucronata, Sonneratia alba and Avicennia offcinalis were studied in a mangrove ecosystem fringing Mandovi-Zuari Estuaries ... -
Management of mangroves for energy needs
(Annamalai Univ., Parangipettai (India), 1998)Utilization of mangroves for firewood and fodder is quite common along the Indian coast. In order to maintain the supply of different beneficial products, conservation and management practices with large scale afforestation ... -
Manglicolous fungi from atolls of Maldives, Indian Ocean
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)Thirty nine species represented by 29 species of Ascomycetes, 2 of Basidiomycetes and 8 of Deuteromycetes were collected from partially submerged, dead and decayed parts of 5 mangrove species. The dominant species were ... -
Mangrove ecosystem of India: Conservation and management
(Pointer Publ.; Jaipur; India, 2002)Mangroves are distributed to the lower latitude (32 degrees S - 3 degrees N) in the tropical regions. The maximum diversity and area cover lies in the regions between 25 degrees S - 25 degrees N. These habitats are ... -
