Role of salinity in structuring the intertidal meiofauna of a tropical estuarine beach: Field evidence
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)Community structure of meiofauna was studied for 12 months (July 1991-June 1992) on an estuarine intertidal beach at Siridao, Goa (India). The temperature of the surf zone water ranged from 26.5 degrees to 30.7 degrees C; ... -
Antifouling activity of Indian marine invertebrate against the green mussel Perna viridis L.
(Springer, 1998)Thirty-one species of marine invertebrates collected from the Indian Coast, belonging to six phyla (Porifera, Coelenterata, Annelida, Mollusca, Echinodermata, and Eurochordata) were tested for antifouling activity against ... -
First record of larvae of Arnoglossus imperialis (Rafinesque, 1810) (Bothidae, Pieces) Atlantic species from the Indian Ocean
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, 1998)Larvae ranging from 7.7 mm NL to 12.2 mm SL were found in zooplankton from the Agulhas Bank. The long leaf-like larval body, the presence of spiny discoid scutes distributed along the bases of median fin rays, cleithra ... -
Population characteristics of the mole crab, Hippa adactyla Fabricius, in the intertidal sediment at Kavaratti Atoll, Lakshadweep Islands
(Rosenstiel School of Marine Sicence, 1998)Some population characteristics of a little known mole crab Hippa adactyla from the sandy intertidal habitat of Kavaratti atoll, Lakshadweep islands, were studied for understanding the resource potentials besides some ... -
Zooplankton characteristics of the coastal ecosystem off Bombay, India
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, 1998)The nearshore waters of Bombay sustain a rich and diverse zooplankton fauna. Continuous observations for a period of 15 months indicated a variation from 0.4 to 19.9 mg C.m sup(3) (av. 4.3 mg C.m sup(-3)) in zooplankton ... -
Ecology of phytoplankton from Dharmatar Creek, west coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)Phytoplankton pigment, cell count and species diversity wee studied at five locations in Dharamtar Creek during September 1984 to November 1985. Chemical parameters indicated a healthy system free of any environmental ... -
Zooplankton standing and diversity in the Gulf of Kachchh with special reference to larvae of decapoda and pisces
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)Zooplankton characteristics of the Gulf of Kachchh including the major creek systems of Nakti, Kandla and Hansthal were studied for monsoon, postmonsoon and pre- monsoon periods. Zooplankton collections were made at 7 ... -

Seasonal distribution of chlorophyll-a in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)measonal distribution of chlorophyll-a (chl-a)) in the different sectors of the EEZ of India was studied based on data from 430 stations over the period from 1962 to 1988. The annual average chl-a for the entire euphotic ... -
Brackishwater shrimp farming: Possible impacts on estuarine ecosystem
(University of Kerala, Kerala (India), 1998)Aquaculture has been widely accepted as a practice that will supplement the capture fishery production, besides generating various types of job opportunities for the rural population. Coastal aquaculture has been given ... -
Phytoplankton pigments and macrobenthos in nearshore waters off an oil terminal at Uran (Maharashtra), west coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)Significant temporal and tidal variations of chlorophyll a (2.11-11.8 mg m sup(-3)) were noticed. Chlorophyll a was less during low tide (av. 3.8 mg m sup(-3)) as compared to high tide (av. 8.1 mg m sup(-3)). The predominance ... -
Zooplankton variability and copepod assemblage in the coastal and estuarine waters of Goa along the central-west coast of India
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, 1998)Seasonal variations in zooplankton distribution and community structure of copepod species in coastal and estuarine waters of Goa along the central-west coast of India are compared in relation to water temperature, salinity ... -
Community structure of meiobenthos from a tropical estuary
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)Meiofaunal samples were collected from 3 stations, located in the salinity gradient of Zuari Estuary of Goa. Spatially the abundance of meiofauna decreased from lower to upper reaches and followed the trend of salinity ... -
Sustainable shrimp farming in India - Prospects and challenges
(CUSAT, Cochin (India), 1998)Shrimp farming has grown into a multi-crore industry in India. It has vast potential for further expansion. However, this growing industry needs to develop appropriate indigenous technologies in specific areas to make it ... -
Vertical distribution of mesozooplankton in the central and eastern Arabian Sea during the winter monsoons
(Cambridge University Press, 1998)The vertical distribution of mesozooplankton in the central and eastern Arabian Sea was investigated during the winter monsoon in 1995. Samples were analysed from discrete depth zones defined according to oxygen and ... -
Computer aided taxonomy (CAT): Approach for understanding systematics of marine biota
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)Computer aided taconomy (CAT) is gaining importance day by day. In order to familiarise the taxonomy and its continuing usage an attempt has made to develop a module for knowing the systematics of organisms and to generate ... -
Genetic variations in marine natural population - Measurement and utility in resource management and conservation: A review
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)A number of molecular and biochemical tools which can be applied to the identification of species and the detection of genetic variation within species have been developed in recent years. All these methods rely on the ... -
Disease and stress-induced mortality of corals in Indian reefs and observations on bleaching of corals in the Andamans
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1999)A study was carried out in the Lakshadweep and Andaman islands and the Gulf of Kutch to assess the health of corals in Indian reefs. Disease, predation and stress were the major factors of coral mortality. Death caused by ... -
