Life history of the ghost shrimp, Callianassa japonica ortmann (Decapoda: Thalassinidea), on an intertidal sandflat in western Kyushu, Japan
(Elsevier, 1997)Growth, density, survival, and reproduction were examined for the population of the ghost shrimp, Callianassa japonica, inhabiting an intertidal sandflat in western Kyushu, Japan, based on samples collected from May, 1989 ... -
Cryoperservation of Balanus amphitrite nauplii
(Academic Press, 1997)The possibility of cryopreserving B. amphitrite (Cirripedia; thoracica) nauplii is explored. The effects on the postthaw survival of a range of cryobiological variables are reported; three different cryoprotectants (ethylene ... -
Coral mortality in reefs: The cause and effect; A central concern for reef monitoring
(M.S. Swaminathan Res. Found., Chennai (India), 1997)The primary causal agents for the destruction of corals are the abiotic and/or biotic agents or a combination of both. The abiotic factors that are responsible are bioerosion, sedimentation, eutrophication and pollution, ... -
Steroids from marine sponges Suberites vestigium and Chrotella australiensis
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1997)The sponges Suberites vestigium and Chrotella australiensis have been examined for steriods. Both the sponges contain C sub(27-29) mono and diunsaturated sterols, in addition sponge C. australiensis contains cholest-4-ene-3-one ... -
Litter fall and energy flux in a mangrove ecosystem
(Academic Press, 1997)Production, elemental composition and In situ decomposition of litter of Rhizophora apiculata, R. mucronata, Sonneratia alba and Avicennia offcinalis were studied in a mangrove ecosystem fringing Mandovi-Zuari Estuaries ... -
Behaviour of marine oil-degrading bacterial populations in a continuous culture system
(Springer, 1997)In pursuit of developing an oil-degrading microbial consortium, we used the principle of "plasmid assisted molecular breeding" (PAMB) in a continuous culture system. Three marine bacteria, Pseudomonas putida, Brevibacterium ... -
Metamastophora flabellata (Sonder) Setchell (Corallinaceae, Rhodophyta) a new addition to the coaral reef flora, from the Andaman Sea (Indian Ocean)
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1997)Stray occurrence of Metamastophora flabellata is recorded, for the first time from the Andaman Sea, India. Earlier this alga was reported to be confined only to the coasts of southern Australia and Africa. The specimen is ... -
Remote sensing application for delineating coastal vegetation - A case study
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, 1997)Remote sensing data has been used for mapping coastal vegetation along the Goa Coast, India. The study envisages the use of digital image processing techniques for delineating geomorphic features and associated vegetation, ... -
Length and weight relationship of laboratory reared penaeid prawn Penaeus monodon (Fabricius) (Crustacea: Penaeidae)
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1997)A parabolic relationship was obtained while studying the length-weight relationship of the postlarvae of Penaeus monodon. The b value (multiplying constant) showed that in the laboratory reared penaeid prawns, length-weight ... -
Diurnal variation in zooplankton in the Zuari Estuary, west coast of India
(Marine Biological Association of India, 1997)Variations in zooplankton biomass and population density in relation to the prevailing hydrographical conditions were studied in Zuari Estuary, Goa. The physico-chemical parameters showed limited variations. Zooplankton ... -
Influence of bacterial exopolymers and the adult extract of Balanus amphitrite and Cthamalus sp. on cyprid metamorphosis of Balanus amphitrite
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)Settlement of barnacle, a major fouling organism is believed to be controlled to a great extent by substratum characteristics such as, presence of conspecific adults or "gregariousness" inducing factors. Exopolymers secreted ... -
Descriptions of five new species of Haplostylus (Mysidaceae crustacea) from South West Australia
(Cambridge University Press, 1997)The genus Haplostylus Kossmann was separated from the genus Gastrosaccus Norman to accept those species in which the endopod of the third pleopod of the male is uniarticulate. Bacescu (1973), Hatzakis (1977), Fenton (1990) ... -
Studies on the associates and parasites of zooplankton from southwest and southeast coasts of India
(Marine Biological Association of India, 1997)Associates and parasites of zooplankton from southwest and southeast coasts of India were studied. Among the epizoic forms two species of ciliates infesting copepods were new records from Indian waters. Eight species of ... -
Benthic disturbance and monitoring experiment in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Int. Society of Offshore and Polar Engineering, Colorado, USA, 1997)Environmental impact assessment studies for deep-sea manganese nodule mining have been initiated in the Central indian Ocean Basin since 1995. As a part of the first phase for collecting the benthic baseline data, echosounding, ... -
Anaerobic sulfide-oxidation in marine colorless sulfur-oxidizing bacteria
(Springer, 1997)Colorless sulfur-oxidizing bacteria are ubiquitous in Indian waters and have the ability to oxidize sulfide under anaerobic conditions. These bacteria can not only mediate the sulfur cycle oxidatively but also the nitrogen ... -
Population characteristics and mass culture of Macrostomum orthostylum Braun 1885 (Macrostomida: Turbellaria)
(Oxford and IBH, 1997)Population characteristics and mass culture of a brackish water turbellarian Macrostomum orthostylum were studied in the laboratory. Adult M. orthostylum has a maximum length of 1.5 mm and can survive for a maximum period ... -
Ecology of hydromedusae from Bombay Harbour - Thana and Bassein Creek estuarine complex
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1997)Species composition, abundance, seasonal variation and distribution of Hydromedusae were carried out during October 1985 to September 1986. Thirty four species belonging to twenty two genera were recorded from this region. ... -
