Seasonality in meiofaunal distribution on a tropical beach at Balramgari, northeast coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)Maximum density of meiofauna was recorded during the southwest monsoon season (June to September). The major part of the faunal group consisted of cladocerans (47%) followed by nematodes (15%) and harpacticoids (14%). None ... -
Chlorophyll 'a' particulate organic carbon and suspended load from the mangrove areas of Cochin backwaters
(Kerala Science Association, 1995)Chlorophyll 'a' Particulate Organic Carbon and suspended load were estimated for one year from two distinct mangrove areas of Cochin backwaters, viz. Puthuvypeen and Nettoor. Environmental parameters like tau degrees C, S ... -

Feeding behaviour of salp Thalia democratica (Thaliacea)
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)The salp Thalia democratica was found to feed on Chaetoceros sp. continuously during the entire experimental period of 24 hours. The rate of consumption (0.09-0.16% animal sup(-1) h sup(-1)), however, did not differ ... -
Biochemical composition of Antarctic zooplankton from the Indian Ocean sector
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)Zooplankton samples were analysed for faunal composition, organic carbon, protein, carbohydrate and lipid content. Total zooplankton biomass (as displacement volume) varied from 0.032 to 0.500 ml.m sup(-3) (x = 0.23 + or ... -
Databases in Indian biology: The state of the art and prospects
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1995)Only 0.85% of the scanned 7500 database titles are related to biology and biotechnology developed in India. Of these, 73% are either bibliographic or directory type and the rest are textural, numeric or multimedia in nature. ... -
Geographic information system in marine biology: Way for sustainable utilization of living resources
(Tata McGraw-Hill, New Delhi, India, 1995)Sustainable utilization of aquatic living resources needs accurate assessment. This stress the need for use of Geographic Information System (GIS). In the recent past interest has been generated for use of GIS in various ... -
Phytoplankton ice-edge blooms in the marginal ice zone at Princess Astrid Coast in Antarctica
(Department of Ocean Development, New Delhi, 1995)Daily variation in sea surface temperature at the ice edge zone in Antarctic polynya during summer from 25th December 1991 to 25th February 1992, showed that the values did not exceed 0 degrees C. Isotherms and isohalines ... -

Assessment of biological characteristics on coastal environment of Murud (Maharashtra) during the oil spill (17 May 1993)
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)A rupture of a feeder riser pipeline resulted in spillage of crude oil estimated to be 3000-8000 tonnes in Bombay High Region on 17 May 1993. The treated spill broken down into several patches and drifted south and finally ... -
Macrobenthos in the nearshore coastal system of Bombay
(National Academy of Sciences, India, 1995)Distribution, abundance and biodiversity of macrobenthic standing stock in the nearshore coastal system of Bombay, Maharashtra, India were estimated (1985-86) in relation to the prevailing environmental stress due to ... -

Dredge spoil disposal off Kavaratti Island, Lakshadweep, India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)Maintenance dredging has been carried out along the navigational channel at Kavaratii Island and dredge spoil is disposed in the open sea. This paper describes the movement of sediment plume while dredging and disposal. ... -
Richardson Number, stability and turbulence- A coherent view
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)As turbulence in water is governed by vertical mobility controlled by static stability and horizontal mobility controlled by currents, the Richardson Number should give a measure of turbulence also. It is argued in this ... -
Diagnostic model of 3-D circulation in the Arabian Sea and western equatorial Indian Ocean: Results of monthly mean sea surface topography
(Indian National Science Academy, 1996)A three-dimensional diagnostic model has been developed to compute the monthly mean circulation and sea surface topography in the Western Tropical Indian Ocean north of 20 degrees S and west of 80 degrees E. The diagnostic ... -
Surface circulation off Somalia and western equatorial Indian Ocean during summer monsoon of 1988 from Geosat altimeter data
(Taylor and Francis, 1996)The sea level variability derived from repeating tracks of the Geosat altimeter data during the late phase (August-September) of the summer monsoon of 1988 revealed the presence of multiple meso-scale eddy features with ...
