Occurrence of Photobacterium leiognathi, as the bait organ symbiont in frogfish Antennarius hispidus
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1992)Bait organs of the frogfish Antennarius hispidus, collected from a coralline habitat off Bombay, Maharashtra, India from the depth of about 50 m, were luminescent and revealed the exclusive presence of luminous bacterium ... -
Feeding behaviour and food selection in the horseshoe crab, Tachypleus gigas (Muller)
(Kluwer, 1992)The Indian horseshoe crab, Tachypleus gigas, is a benthic feeder which subsists mainly on molluscs, decayed organic matter and polychaetes, in order of prevalence. A strong and positive preference was recorded for molluscs ... -
Distribution of decapod larvae in the Bombay Harbour-Thana-Bassein Creek regions
(Indian Fisheries Association, 1992)Variations in the abundance and composition of larval decapods were studied from 90 km stretch of the Bombay Harbour-Thana Creek-Bassein Creek (BHTCBC) system for a period of 15 months. The larvae belonged to Penacidea, ... -
Management and conservation options for Indian coral reefs
(Wiley Eastern, New Delhi, 1992)Coral reefs are the most specialized, diverse and productive of all tropical marine ecosystems. In the recent years, they are being increasingly subjected to exploitation and human interference. These have resulted in ... -
Stratification of zooplankton in the northwestern Indian Ocean
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)Study on stratification of zooplankton in the north western Indian Ocean was carried out with special reference to its relative abundance and distribution. Samples were collected using multiple plankton net, during first ... -
Distribution of Pleuromamma (Copepoda: Metridiidae) along a north-south transect in the Indian Ocean
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)Distribution and abundance of calanoid copepods of the genus Pleuromamma Giesbrecht 1898 along a north-south transect in the Indian Ocean were studied. Seven species such as Pleuromamma indica, P. abdominalis, P. gracilis, ... -
Densities, cellulases, alginate and pectin lyases of luminous and other heterotrophic bacteria associated with marine algae
(Elsevier, 1992)Epiphytic luminous and non-luminous bacteria were determined quantitatively for eight intertidal algal species from rocky beaches of Goa and Lakshadweep coral reef lagoon. Luminous bacteria were present on all eight algal ... -
North-south diversity of Scolecithricidae species (Copepoda: Calanoida) in the Indian Ocean
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)The effectiveness of north-south hydrographical barriers in restricting the distributions of Scolecithricidae species (Copepoda:Calanoida) in the euphotic zone of the Indian Ocean was studied. Twenty seven species belonging ... -
Calanoid copepods of the International Indian Ocean Expedition
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)The distribution of calanoid copepods is discussed based on the subsorted taxa of the International Indian Ocean Expedition samples. Of the 32 calanoid taxa only 17 groups were considered as significant components. The ... -
Lunar, diel and tidal variabilityin penaeid prawn larval abundance in the Mandovi estuary, Goa
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1992)Prawn larvae were studied to determine suitable lunar and tidal phases and time for large scale seed collection for prawn aquaculture. Larvae and postlarvae of 8 commercially important species were observed in the surface ... -
Resource potential and status of pearl oyster fishery in India
(Society for Marine Archaeology, Goa, 1992)Many cultivable species of pearl oysters are known to occur in the Indo-Australian Archipelago which is an important region in the world distribution of pearl oysters. An account of the development of Indian pearl fisheries ... -
Zooplankton standing stock assessment and fishery resources in the indian seas
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)Based on data from 1864 samples collected over a period of 12 years (1976-88), an assessment of zooplankton standing stock (biomass), secondary production and potential fishery resources has been made. The areas studied ... -
Differential sensitivity of pigmented and non-pigmented marine bacteria to metals and antibiotics
(Pergamon, 1992)The response of pigmented and non-pigmented marine bacteria to metals and antibiotics was investigated. The two groups responded differently to heavy metals and antibiotics. Pigmented bacteria were more resistant to metals. ... -
Tropical marine ecosystems: The microbial component
(Wiley Eastern, New Delhi, 1992)Microbes such as bacteria, fungi and unicellular algae assume greater importance in the tropical marine ecosystems because of their abundance, biomass and activity in a number of chemical and biological processes that ... -
Deep sea benthos of the western and central Indian Ocean
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)Quantitative investigations on deep sea benthos from 112 stations between lat. 21 degrees N-21 degrees S and long. 51 degrees E-94 degrees E and in the depth range of 1500 to 6000 m, revealed a rich biota having relatively ... -
Satellite and ship studies of phytoplankton along the west coast of India
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)AidEd. by a sequence of chlorophyll images from the Coastal Zone Color Scanner on board the Nimbus-7 satellite and extensive shipboard observations, a descriptive analysis of the factors influencing the distribution and ... -
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 ... -
Trophic dynamics and fishery potentials of the Indian Occean - critical assessment
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)A critical review of the status of the Indian Ocean marine fisheries reveals that the presently exploited annual catch is less than one third of the projected potentials as estimated from the biological productivity and ... -
Copepod composition along southwest and southeast coasts of India
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)Two sets of samples, one from upper layer of thermocline to surface and second set from 500 m to surface were made. Copepod fauna from these collections were studied in relation to the hydrographical properties of the water ...
