Heavy metals in the marine environment of India
(Muzaffarnagar: Society of Biosciences, 1987)
Distribution of toxic metals, Hg, Cd and Pb in zooplankton along the Indian coasts
(Trivandrum: University of Kerala, 1987)
Distribution of toxic metals such as Hg, Cd and Pb in zooplankton is assessed with a view to correlate it with the prevalent environmental conditions along the Indian coast. While Hg could not be detected in zooplankton ...
Pollution status of estuaries of Gujarat - An overview
(Goa: National Inst of Oceanography, 1987)
Impact of marine pollution on living resources - Case studies on the effect of mining activity and organic enrichment of benthic fauna
(New Delhi: CSIR, 1987)
Mine rejects, organic effluents and domestic sewage are the three main items discharged in the Mandovi Estuary, Goa, India. Their impact on the benthic life was studied. Benthic samples in this estuary were collected at ...
Concentration and toxicity of some metals in zooplankton from nearshore waters of Bombay
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1985)
Zooplankton samples collected from 4 stations located in the nearshore waters of Bombay were analysed for Cu, Co, Mn, Ni and Cd. Concentrations of Co, Mn and Ni were more in copepods and gelatinous organisms than in mysids ...
Meiobenthos of polluted and unpolluted environments of Versova, Bombay
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1984)
Quantitative distribution of meiobenthic faune of Varsova (Bombay, Maharashtra, India) waters was studied at four stations during November, 1979 to December, 1980. The nearshore areas represent a typical polluted environment ...
Effects of dispersants on microbial growth and biodegradation of crude oils
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1984)
Four oil spill dispersants when used along (0.1% V/V) or in combination with Saudi Arabian Crude (0.5% V/V) were non-toxic to Arthrobacter simplex and Candida tropicalis. At a higher concentration of 0.6% (V/V) only D2 was ...
Petroleum hydrocarbon contamination along oil tanker routes in the Arabian Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1984)
Concentration of petroleum hydrocarbons in seawater from the oil tanker route region between 0-25 N and 45-75 E were estimated using UV-absorbance and fluoroscence techniques. Concentrations in surface waters averaged 9.2 ...
The effect of mercury on the growth efficiency of Tilapia mossambica (Peters)
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1984)
Three concentrations of mercury (0.01, 0.04 and 0.4 ppm) were used for experiments on growth efficiency of Tilapia mossambica. Growth efficiencies were determined on a dry weight basis. High concentration of mercury (0.4 ...
Development and ecodisaster: a lesson from Cochin backwater system
