An Account on marine wood-boring organisms of offshore waters of Bombay High, India
Abstract
An incidence of wood-boring organisms in a water column of 75 meters depth, 160 km off the Bombay coast is reported. The destruction of untreated panels of mango wood exposed for periods varying from 1-12 months was caused by eight species of teredinid borers belonging to the genera Lyrodus, Teredo, Teredora and Bankia. It also reports for the first time the occurrence of Teredo navalis from Indian waters and Lyrodus singaporeana and Teredo indomalaica from the west coast of India
