Preliminary studies on the association between zooplankton and the stramenopilan fungi, Aplanochytrids
(Springer, 2013)The relationship of the marine heterokont stramenopilan protists, the aplanochytrids, with the zooplankton was studied in coastal waters. The aplanochytrids were fed to the zooplankton specimens and observed for grazing ... -
Production and Associations of Zooplankton in Estuarine and Nearshore Waters of Goa
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)Zooplankton production in the Zuari and Mandovi estuaries indicated 2 peaks-one in November and another in March/April. In the nearshore waters very high value of zooplankton biomass was observed in April associated with ... -
Production and zooplankton community structure in the lagoon and surrounding sea at Kavaratti atoll (Lakshadweep)
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1983)Higher values for the environmental parameters were generally obtained for the lagoon stations. Average values of pH, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and phosphate-phosphorus, nitrate-nitrogen, silicate and silicon ... -
Recent marine microfauna from the continental margin, west coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1982)Recent sediments of the continental margin of west coast of India yielded @iGlobigerina hexagona@@ and @iGloboquadrina conglomerata@@ which disappeared from the Atlantic 50,000 to 1 million years ago. The bipolar species ... -
Redescription of Pseudodiaptomus jonesi (Copepoda: Calanoida) with notes on its distribution
(Cambridge University Press, 1989)Pseudodiaptomus jonesi Pillai 1970 is redescribed; several previously undescribed features are included and a few errors in the original description corrected. This species is assignable to the Ramosus group and ... -
Relative abundance and diel variation of zooplankton from south west coast of India
(Indian Fisheries Association, 1993)Relative abundance and diurnal variations of zooplankton from six anchor stations along Kerala Caost, were investigated. Samples were collected during April-May 1988 at three hour intervals from depths varying between 15 ... -
Role of foraminifera in oceanographic events
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1979)Foraminiferal studies on deep sea cores have revealed that they represent sediments from the Early Cretaceous to the Present, but the cores from the ridge areas are older in age, indicating sea floor spreading along ... -
Seasonal variations in carbon biomass of bacteria, thraustochytrids and microzooplankton in the northern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2005)As a part of the JGOFS-India Programme, abundance of heterotrophic bacteria (Hbac; 0-2000 m), thraustochytrids (0-2000 m), microzooplankton (0-200m occasionally up to 300 m) as well as bacterial growth rates (0-500 m) were ... -
Secondary production and zooplankton abundance in the coastal waters from Vengurla to Malpe, west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1985)Secondary production and zooplankton abundance in surface and vertical hauls at different stations along 7 transects from Vengurla to Malpe, Maharashtra, India were studied. Zooplankton production varied with the depth of ... -
Shoaling of sergestid shrimp Acetes johni (Crustacea Decapoda: Sergestidae) associated with swarming of gammarid amphipods
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1994)Aggregation of sergestid shrimp Acetes johni and gammarid amphipods was observed at a station (22 degrees 07'N; 67 degrees 03'E) in the northern Arabian Sea during September 1991. Shoaling occurred in the surface layer ... -
Some Heavy Metals in Fishes from the Andaman Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)Muscles, liver, gills and heart of several fishes and some zooplankton(whole sample) collected from the Andaman Sea were analysed for Cu, Mn, Zn, Fe, Ni and Co. The concentrations of practically all the metals were highest ... -
Standing stock and biochemical composition of zooplankton in the northeastern Arabian Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1989)During November-December 1985 - a period of this study showed significant difference in biomass (dry weight) among the coastal and oceanic waters. Ostracods were the predominant component (47 per cent) in the coastal zone ... -
Studies on the associates and parasites of zooplankton from southwest and southeast coasts of India
(Marine Biological Association of India, 1997)Associates and parasites of zooplankton from southwest and southeast coasts of India were studied. Among the epizoic forms two species of ciliates infesting copepods were new records from Indian waters. Eight species of ... -
Studies on the microzooplankton from the central and eastern Arabian Sea
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1996)Numerical abundance and composition of microzooplankton in the upper 200 m were studied from the central and eastern Arabian Sea during three seasons. Protozoans, comprising of ciliates (loricates and aloricates), flagellates ... -
Studies on the planktonic Decapoda and Stomatopoda (Crustacea) from the western Bay of Bengal
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1988)Abundance and distribution of decapods and stomatopods were studied, based on 90 samples collected from the western Bay of Bengal (Lat. 09 degrees 58' and 20 degrees 50'N and long. 80 degrees 00'E) between 24 August and 2 ... -
Studies on zooplankton from the Arabian sea off the south-central west coast of India
