Carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide in the North Indian Ocean
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1995)The understanding of biogeochemical cycling of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide in the oceans is essential for predicting the fate of anthropogenically emitted components. The North Indian Ocean, with its diverse regimes, ... -
The behaviour of aluminium in waters of the Mandovi estuary, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 1995)The concentration of dissolved Al in both the freshwater (approx 0.08 - 0.23 mu M) and seawater (less than or equal to 0.07 mu M) endmembers of the Mandovi estuary is low, the former being always greater in magnitude than ... -
Behaviour of aluminium, silicon and iron in Tapi Estuary
(Society of Biosciences, Muzaffarnagar, India, 1995)Behaviour od dissolved Al, Si and Fe in high energy and well-mixed Tapi Estuary in Maharashtra, India was studied under varied tidal cycles. The observed trend of variation in concentration of dissolved Al has been explained ... -
A case study on the impact of industrial effluent disposal on the fishery of Amba River Estuary, Maharashtra
(Indian Fisheries Association, 1995)The impact of waste discharge on fishery resources is a matter of great concern. The accepted norm in all environmental impact assessment studies is to avoid areas of high fishery potential while locating a marine outfall. ... -
Pollution impact on chaetognaths of the Visakhapatnam Harbour and neritic waters, east coast of India
(Marine Biological Association of India, 1995) -
Characteristics of humic and fulvic acids in Arabian Sea sediments
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)Humic and fulvic acids isolated from some of the shelf, slope and offshore sediments of the Arabian Sea were studied. The molecular weight, functional groups, elemental composition and infrared spectra were examined. Humic ... -
Petroleum hydrocarbons in intertidal ecosystem along the Bombay Coast
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)Petroleum hydrocarbon content in intertidal sediment and water samples collected at Madh, Worli and Colaba were in the ranges of 5.1-7, 5.8-7.4, 2.9-10.3 mu g.g sup(-1), wet wt and N.D.-18.5, N.D.-5.8 mu g.l sup(-1) ... -
Taxonomic features and identification of Oxycephalidae (Platysceloidea, Physocephalata, Hyperiidea, Amphipoda)
(NIO, Goa, 1995)Oxycephalidae is a group of curious holoplanktonic crustaceans. They are common in the plankton of the offshore waters of the tropical and subtropical regions. Carcinologists have taken to this group only recently inspite ... -
A simple method to assess bacterial attachment to surfaces
(Herwood Academic, 1995)The crystal violet microplate adhension assay was modified to evaluate bacterial adhesion to metal and non-metal surfaces. Both viable cell count and the absorbance of the crystal violet stained cells attached to aluminium ... -
Studies on structure and organization of calcium carbonate deposits in algae
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1995)The structure and organization of calcium carbonate deposits is studied in species of Halimeda, Udotea, Neomeris (Chlorophyta) and Padina (Phaeophyta). It was found that in Halimeda aragonite deposition takes place outside ... -
Ecological evaluation of two prawn culture fields in the Cochin Backwater based on premonsoon diurnal observations
(Marine Biological Association of India, 1995)Extensive low lying areas of the Cochin Backwater peripheries at its lower reaches are bunded into interconnected ponds for paddy-cum-prawn culture. Results of a study of two representative ponds are reported. The ponds ... -
Two new species of Siriella (Crustacea-Mysidacea) from the southwest coast of Australia

Growth inhibition of fouling bacteria and diatoms by extract of terrestrial plant, Derris scandens (Dicotyledonae:Leguminocae)
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)Methanol extract of terrestrial plant, Derris scandens Benth, was found to inhibit growth of four diatoms and 7 bacterial species of fouling community. The concentrations required to bring about 100% inhibition of growth ... -
Comparison live adult Artemia and squid meat on the growth of Penaeid shrimp Metapenaeus dobsoni (Miers)
(Indian National Science Academy, 1995)An experiment lasting 14 weeks was conducted to compare the efficiency of live adult Artemia with fresh squid meat on growth of penaeid shrimp Metapenaeus dobsoni. The shrimps were found actively feeding on live Artemia ... -
Candidates for the development of consortia capable of petroleum hydrocarbon degradation in marine environment
(Fostering International Coop. Res., UK, 1995)Bacteria and yeasts from different niches of the tropical Indian waters were screened for their hydrocarbon degrading potential using 1% w/v in artificial seawater over a period of 6 days. About 20% of the 75 bacterial and ... -

Elemental (C, H, N) composition of zooplankton from north Arabian Sea
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)Zooplankton samples collected from north Arabian Sea during March 1992 were analysed for elemental (C,H,N) composition. Estimated carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen concentrations displayed variations among different groups but ... -
Proximate biochemical composition and caloric potential in the raft-grown green mussel Perna viridis
