Biochemical composition of microfouling assemblages at two stations in the Zuari Estuary
Abstract
Biochemical analyses of microfouling material settled on aluminum and glass panels were carried out at two stations, one at the Dona Paula Jetty and the other at Marmagao Harbor, located on either side of the mouth of the Zuari Estuary, Goa, India. This study deals with the composition of microfouling in terms of organic carbon, carbohydrates, proteins, bacterial counts, and chlorophyll a concentrations. The study was conducted to assess the effects of oil slicks on primary film build up
