A note on the ancient mangroves of Goa, central west coast of India
(NISCAIR, Indian, 1998)Organic peat deposits were observed 1.5 to 2.5 m below hinterland coastal plains, 20 km inland from the open sea coast. Red mud overlies peat. Sedimentological and mineralogical data revealed that peat was deposited in ... -
Abundance and production of particle-associated bacteria and their role in a mangrove-dominated estuary
(Inter-Research, 2009)A 1 yr study was carried out in the mangrove-dominated, tropical Mandovi estuary (Goa, India) to assess the contribution of particle-associated bacteria (PAB) to the system’s variability in terms of abundance and productivity. ... -
Agromyces indicus sp. nov., isolated from mangroves sediment in Chorao Island, Goa, India
(Springer, 2012)A Gram-positive, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium strain NIO-1018 sup(T) isolated from a mangrove sediment sample of the Chorao Island, Goa, India, was subjected to a detailed polyphasic taxonomic study. The strain designated ... -
Algae associated with mangroves
(M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation, Madras, India, 1994)The algae associated with mangroves is described. Substrate plays very important role in algal establishment in intertidal and subtidal areas. Algae colonising the mud surface are seasonal because of the unstable conditions ... -
Ambient iron concentration regulates the sulfate reducing activity in the mangrove swamps of Diwar, Goa, India
(Elsevier, 2011)In order to test the hypothesis that the ambient iron concentrations could regulate sulfate reducing activity (SRA) in mangrove areas, 10 cm cores were examined from test and reference sites. The test site at Diwar mangrove ... -
Aquaculture in mangrove environment
(M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation, Madras, India, 1994)A general account of aquaculture of India in mangrove environment has been discussed. In-spite of being a none-too-tidal aquaculture site, the estuaries and backwaters fringEd. by mangrove vegetation have long been used ... -
Asia Pacific Mangrove Information Network (APMIN): A conceptual model
(International Society for Mangrove Ecosystems, Okinawa, Japan, 1999)Asia Pacific Mangrove Information Network (APMIN), its structure and scope, is discussed in this paper. Establishment of National Mangrove Information Centers (NMIC) in 20 Asia-Pacific countries, would contribute towards ... -
Atoll mangroves and associated flora from Republic of Maldives, Indian Ocean
(International Society for Mangrove Ecosystems, Okinawa, Japan, 1999)Coral islands from the Republic of Maldives were surveyed for their mangroves and feasibility of large scale mangrove afforestation to restore the coastal habitats and stabilize the shore. Extensive mangrove formations ... -
Bacterial contribution to mitigation of iron and manganese in mangrove sediments
(Elsevier, 2007)The Mandovi and Chapora, (Goa, India) are two tropical estuaries lying in close geographic proximity on the west coast of India. Seasonal changes in down core variation of Fe, Mn and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in the ... -
Benthic fauna of mangrove environment
(M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation, Madras, India, 1994)The distribution, abundance and importance of benthic fauna in a mangrove environment has been discussed. This ecosystem is enriched with terrestrial, aquatic, marshy and mudflat species mangrove environment. Qualitative ... -
Benthos
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)Benthic organisms are sessile and sedentary in nature. True benthos can be divided into two groups - epifauna and infauna. They comprise major invertebrate phyla. Benthic organisms are separated into micro, meio, macro and ... -
Bisoxazolinone from the mangrove Acanthus illicifolius
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1997)Acanthus illicifolius, a mangrove, possessing analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities afford a dimeric oxazolinone, 5,5' bis-benzoxazoline-2,2'-dione. Its structure has been elucidated on the basis of detailed spectroscopic ... -
Change detection studies of Sagar Island, India, using Indian Remote Sensing Satellite 1C linear imaging self-scan sensor III data
(The Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2007)The coastal zone of Sagar Island, West Bengal, India, is subjected to various cyclic and random processes that continuously modify the region. The shoreline and land-use/land cover changes have been studied using Indian ... -
Characterization of Porteresia coarctata beds along the Goa coast, India
(Elsevier, 2006)Porteresia coarctata, forms an important constituent in the plant succession leading to formation of mangrove communities along the estuaries in India. Major beds along the Mandovi estuary of Goa were monitored for their ... -
Chlorophyll 'a' particulate organic carbon and suspended load from the mangrove areas of Cochin backwaters
(Kerala Science Association, 1995)Chlorophyll 'a' Particulate Organic Carbon and suspended load were estimated for one year from two distinct mangrove areas of Cochin backwaters, viz. Puthuvypeen and Nettoor. Environmental parameters like tau degrees C, S ... -
Coastal vegetation: Patterns in a tourist region
(Tata Energy Research Institute, India, 2003)None of the coastal areas under study possess the rich sand dune flora characteristic of an undisturbed beach. The status of dune vegetation in tourism villages has been deteriorating as compared to that in the developing ... -
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. ... -
Denitrification prevails over anammox in tropical mangrove sediments (Goa, India)
(Elsevier, 2012)Denitrification, anammox (Anx) and di-nitrogen fixation were examined in two mangrove ecosystems- the anthropogenically influenced Divar and the relatively pristine Tuvem. Stratified sampling at 2 cm increments from 0 to ... -
Development of an intertidal mangrove nursery and afforestation techniques
(M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation, Madras, India, 1994)The development of an intertidal mangrove nursery and afforestation technique for regeneration and restoration of mangroves of Goa is described. Site selection, source of plant material, nursery plantation, season of ... -
Dimensional Relationships in Crassostrea madrasensis (Preston) and C. gryphoides (Schlotheim) in Mangrove Ecosystem
(NISCAIR (CSIR), 2011)Mangrove influenced estuarine habitats in the tropics favor the settlement of oysters and their larval stages, which protect them from strong waves and speedy currents. Shell structure in Bivalves form an important protective ...
