Antifouling property of the fruits of Randia brandisii (Rubiaceae) and Sapindus trifoliatus (Sapindaceae)
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1992)
Methanol extracts of fruits of Randia brandisii (Gamble) and Sapindus trifoliatus (Vah) were assessed for marine antifouling properties. The coatings of these crude extracts on aluminium coupons were found to inhibit ...
Influence of bacterial exopolymers and the adult extract of Balanus amphitrite and Cthamalus sp. on cyprid metamorphosis of Balanus amphitrite
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)
Settlement of barnacle, a major fouling organism is believed to be controlled to a great extent by substratum characteristics such as, presence of conspecific adults or "gregariousness" inducing factors. Exopolymers secreted ...
Biofouling of an offshore oil platform: faunal composition and biomass
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1990)
Methods for the removal and estimation of microfouling biomass
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1990)
Distribution and growth of wood-borers in Bombay offshore waters
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1991)
The borer population comprised of 7 species of teredinid borers. Species composition varied with depth; Bankia carinata and B. campanellata were abundant at 2 m, B. carinata and Lyrodus pedicellatus at 22 m, L. pedicellatus ...
Corrosion behaviour of metals and alloys in the waters of the Arabian Sea
(Science Survey, England, 1990)
Composition of microfouling on aluminium and fibre glass panels exposed in Agatti waters (Lakshadweep Island)
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1991)
Rate of microfouling build-up was high during the initial periods of exposure of test surfaces but decreased with the increasing duration. Fibre glass surfaces showed higher deposition than those of aluminium. Carbohydrates ...
Chemical characterization of exopolysaccharides from the marine fouling diatom Amphore coffeaeformis
(Herwood Academic, 1996)
Amphora coffeaeformis cells were grown in batch cultures under continuous illumination at 18 degrees C for 10 d. Algal cells were removed by centrifugation, lyophilized and used for the extraction of exopolysaccharides ...
Corrosion of metals and alloys in the coastal and deep waters of the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)
Corrosion rate of mild steel (MS), stainless steel (SS), copper, brass and cupro-nickel has been determinEd. by exposing metallic coupons in coastal and oceanic waters of the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. Amongst the ...
