Developmental stages of chaetognaths in the coastal environs of Bombay
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)Abundances of developmental stages-juveniles, developing and mature-of Sagitta bedoti, S. oceania, S. enflata and S. robusta were recorded from the coastal, estuarine and creek environs of Bombay (Maharashtra, India) from ... -
Biological processes of the northern Indian Ocean
(University of Hamburg, Germany, 1993)Physical processes such as wind-driven coastal run-off during the monsoons and convective overturning of surface waters due to winter cooling bring in nutrients into the euphotic zone and enhance primary productivity of ... -
Occurrence of fungi in the primary film on glass slides submerged in Cochin backwaters
(Society of Fishery Technologists (India), 1993)Occurrence of fungal mycelia was observed on the glass slides after 48 h of submersion in the Cochin backwaters (Kerala, India). The fungus Curoularia lunata (Wakker) Boedijn was found throughout the year while Aspergillus ... -
Fishery potential of the Gulf of Kachchh
(Indian Fisheries Association, 1993)Fishery potential of the interior Gulf of Kachchh and adjacent creek regions was reported for the first time as baseline data for future ecological assessment. The experimental trawling and gill netting indicated that the ... -
On the occurrence of endoparasites from copepods of the west coast of India
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, India, 1993)Occurrence of endoparasitic dinoflagellates belonging to the genera, Blastodinium, parasitizing the coelomic cavity of their host, copepods was investigated. Infection by these species seems to be harmful to the host. ... -

Zooplankton composition in Dharamtar creek adjoining Bombay harbour
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)Dharamtar creek (Bombay, India) creek maintained rich zooplankton standing stock (av. 30.3 ml 100 m/3) with peak production during August-November. Zooplankton production rate for the entire system amounted to 10.32 mg ... -

Seasonal variability in penaeid prawn larval abundance in the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, Goa
(Indian Fisheries Association, 1993)Seasonal variations in the occurrence and abundance of penaeid prawn larvae in the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries of Goa, India were studied. Larvae and postlarvae of commercially important species viz. Metapenaeus dobsoni ... -

Growth parameters in the cultured green mussel Perna viridis L. from the Zuari Estuary, Goa
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)Growth parameters for both length and weight were estimated in the raft-grown population of Perna viridis. The asymptotic length (L approaches infinity) and weight (W ) were computed to be 85 mm and 34.37 g respectively. ... -
Environmental impact assessment of benthic community stability in an estuarine complex
(Society of Biosciences, Muzaffarnagar, India, 1993)Comparison of macrobenthic communities of an estuarine complex at Goa revealed significant changes in faunal structure, in time and space, in less than ten years (1972-73 - 1982-83). The composition of the community was ... -

Biomass and biochemical composition of zooplankton from northwest Bay of Bengal during January 1990
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)Biomass, proximate composition, organic carbon and calorie content of assorted zooplankton from the surface waters were studied. Day and night stations revealed significant difference in biomass (displacement volume, dry ... -

Zooplankton biomass and abundance of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba DANA in Indian Ocean sector of the southern ocean
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, India, 1993)Zooplankton sampling was carried out during the first six Indian Scientific Expeditions to Antarctica (1981-1987) to estimate krill abundance in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean (between 35 to 70 degrees S and 10 ... -

Seasonal fluctuation in the distribution of eggs and larvae of flat fishes (Pleuronectiformes - Pisces) in the Cochin Backwater
(Indian Fisheries Association, 1993)Attempts have been made to correlate the abundance of eggs and larvae of flat fishes belonging to families Cynoglossidae and Soleidae with the hydrographical parameters of the environment, particularly the salinity. The ... -
Cultivation of green mussel, Perna viridis L., on a floating raft in an estuary along the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 1993)Total production of green mussels, Perna viridis, grown on a raft (16 m sup(2)) for 1 year was 2144.64 kg and biomass (meat weight) was 1040.00 kg. Annual production (P) and biomass (B) estimated were 33.51 and 16.25 kg m ... -
