Food Components of the Andaman Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)Detrital carbon in the Andaman Sea constitutes about 92% of the total particulate carbon while phytoplankton and zooplankton constitute small fractions of the total suspended matter. Latitudinal relationship between ... -
Geographical variation in the distribution of different calanid species in the Indian Ocean
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, 1998)The species composition of Calanidae in the Indian Ocean was studied from zooplankton collections taken between 24 degrees N to 40 degrees S and 20 degrees E to 120 degrees E. Nannocalanus minor was widespread with high ... -
Health status of the coastal waters of Mumbai and regions around
(Bookwell, New Delhi, India, 2000)The coastal marine environment of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India and regions around receives the domestic wastewater generated of around 1800 million litres per day (mld), mostly untreated. In addition, a large number of ... -
Heavy metals and zooplankton with special reference to Minamata (Japan) mercury pollution - A case study
(Society of Biosciences, Muzaffarnagar, India, 1993)Zooplankton samples were collected from nine stations in the three inland sea regions (Minamata Bay, Yatsushiro-Kai, and Ariake-Kal) along the western coast of Japan Between September 1980 to December 1986 and were analysed ... -
Holocene benthonic foraminifera from the shelf sediments of Kerala coast
(Indian Society of Earth Scientists, 1974)Of the 32 species of benthic foraminifera recovered here some show definite Indo-Pacific affinity. Ecological parameters which govern this offshore region are considered. Several species show similarities with those found ... -
Horizontal and vertical distribution of Chaetognatha in the upper 1000 m of the western Sargasso Sea and the Central and South-east Atlantic.
(Elsevier, 2010)The chaetognath abundance, species richness and bathymetric distribution in the upper 1000 m in two regions of the Atlantic Ocean is discussed based on samples collected on two cruises, one to the Sargasso Sea (Northwest ... -
Hydrographic and productivity characteristics along 45 degrees E longitude in the southwestern Indian Ocean and Southern Ocean during austral summer 2004
(Inter-Research, 2009)During the austral summer 2004, an intensive multidisciplinary survey was carried out in the Indian Ocean sector of the Southern Ocean to study the main hydrographic features and the associated productivity processes. This ... -
Hydrographic characteristics of the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1999)Oceanographic studies in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean (58-61 degrees S and 30-40 degrees E) carried out during December 1995 and March 1996 indicate a 3-layer structure typical of summer in the oceanic domain ... -
Impact of oxygen-depleted water on the vertical distribution of chaetognaths in the northeastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2011)The influence of a thick layer of oxygen-depleted water (<0.2 ml l sup(-1)) on the abundance and distribution of chaetognaths was investigated in the northeastern Arabian Sea (NEAS), a natural oxygen-deficient system in ... -
Influence of upwelling on distribution of chaetognath (zooplankton) in the oxygen deficient zone of the eastern Arabian Sea.
(Elsevier, 2014)he study addresses the coupled spatial scales in the physico-chemical variables and chaetognaths in the upwelling system of the eastern Arabian Sea during the 2005 summer monsoon. We studied the taxon between 0 and 1000 m ... -
Lack of seasonal and geographic variation in mesozooplankton biomass in the Arabian Sea and its structure in the mixed layer
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1996)Mesozooplankton standing stock, abundance and composition were studied during three seasons (summer, winter and inter-monsoon) from coastal and open ocean waters of the central and eastern Arabian Sea in 1994-95. Concentrations ... -
Latitudinal range of epiplanktonic Cahetognatha and Ostracoda in the western tropical Indian Ocean
(Springer, 1984)An account of the chaetognath and ostracod species obtained from zooplankton samples collected along a transect in the Western Indian Ocean between 9 degrees N-20 degrees S and 57 degrees 18'-68 degrees 43'E in January-February ... -
Lipid peroxide, glutathione and glutathione-dependent enzyme (GST) in mixed zooplankton from the North-West Coast of India: Implication for the use of environmental monitoring
(Academic Journals, 2011)This work deals with an experiment on mixed zooplanktonic organisms collected from the shore water of Diu coast. The study analyzed and measured lipid peroxidation (LPX), as a marker of oxidative stress and glutathione-s ... -
Living planktonic foraminifera of the Wadge bank, Northern Indian Ocean
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1988)Twenty three species of living planktonic Foraminifera belonging to 11 genera have been studied from the Wadge Bank area off southern tip of the Indian peninsula. The fauna is characterized by species such as Globigerinoides ... -
Maersk navigator oil spill in the great channel (Andaman Sea) in January 1993 and its environmental impact
