Oceanography of marginal seas
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)The North Indian Ocean consists of three marginal seas; The Persian Gulf and the Red Sea in the west and the Andaman Sea in the east. Oceanographic features of these semi-enclosed basins have been discussed in this article. ... -
Chemical oceanography
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)Extremes in atmospheric forcing, asymmetrically distributed over the northern Indian Ocean, bring about exceptionally large hydrographical changes and produce a wide variety of ecosystems or biogeochemical provinces. While ... -
Mangroves
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)The present paper describes the status of the mangrove ecosystem along the Indian Ocean region in terms of climatology and biodiversity. Out of 37 countries surrounded by Indian Ocean, India, Pakistan, countries around ... -
EIA of anthropogenic activities on marine macrobenthos

Bacterial standing stock, meiofauna and sediment-nutrient characteristics: Indicators of benthic disturbance in the Central Indian Basin
(Pergamon, 2001)As a part of the environmental impact assessment studies for polymetallic nodule mining, the effect of simulated "benthic disturbance" caused by a benthic hydraulic disturber was studied in the Central Indian Basin (CIB). ... -
Mesozooplankton biomass, composition and distribution in the Arabian Sea during the fall intermonsoon: Implications of oxygen gradients
(Pergamon, 2001)Mesozooplankton biomass and distribution of calanoid copepods were studied for the upper 500 m between 3 and 21 degrees N along an open-ocean transect in the Arabian Sea during the Fall Intermonsoon (September-October 1992, ... -
Primary productivity
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)Photosynthetic production in the oceans in relation to light, nutrients and mixing processes is discussed. Primary productivity in the estuarine region is reported to be high in comparison to coastal and oceanic waters. ... -
Assessment of viability in the bacterial standing stock of the Antarctic Sea from the Indian side
(Ifremer/ CNRS/ IRD/ Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS. Tous droits reserves, 2001)During the austral summer, the bacterial population along the cruise track extending from 70 degrees S and 18 degrees E to 30 degrees S and 35 degrees E are examined. During the cruise, three distinct fractions of the ... -
Marine microbiology: A glimpse of the strides in the Indian and the global arena
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)The chapter reviews the development in marine microbiology in the national and international arena. It traces salient features from the pre-Zobell era to the mid 1990s. The studies in India have just made a beginning into ... -
Impact of benthic disturbance on megafauna in Central Indian Basin
(Pergamon, 2001)Deep-sea photographs and video data were studied to evaluate the effects of benthic disturbance on megafaunal distribution in the Central Indian Basin. Xenophyophores (41%) and holothurians (30%) are the most abundant taxa, ... -
Captive shrimp broodstock production: Relevance of eyestalk ablation and its regeneration in gonad maturation

Features at some significant estuaries of India
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)The river basins of India are classified into three groups on the basis of catchment areas: (1) above 20,000 km sup(2), (2) 2,000-20,000 km sup(2) and (3) less than 2,000 km sup(2). The total number of rivers under first ... -
Biology of corals and coral reefs
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)This chapter deals with biology of corals, coral reefs (in general) and coral reefs of the Indian Ocean. Biology of corals is lucidly dealt with, beginning from the clarification on hermatypic and ahermatypic forms. A ... -
Temporal and ephemeral variations in copepod community in the estuaries of Mandovi and Zuari - west coast of India
(Cambridge Univ. Press, UK, 2001)In the tidal-dominated coastal plain estuaries, the magnitude of temporal and ephemeral variations in the abundance of the calonoid copepod community was evaluated over two annual cycles by two-way ANOVA. The species by ... -
Microbial biomass and organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2001)In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian ... -
Fungi in Porites lutea: Association with healthy and diseased corals
(Inter-Research, 2001)Healthy and diseased scleractinian corals have been reported to harbour fungi. However, the species of fungi occurring in them and their prevalence in terms of biomass have not been determined and their role in coral ... -
Seaweed resources
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)The chapter summarizes our present knowledge of the seaweed resources of the Indian Ocean region with regard to the phytogeographical distribution, composition, biomass, utilization, cultivation, conservation and management. ... -
Degradation of crude oil by marine cyanobacteria
(Springer, 2001)The marine cyanobacteria Oscillatoria salina Biswas, Plectonema terebrans Bornet et Flanhault and Aphanocapsa sp. degraded Bombay High crude oil when grown in artificial seawater nutrients as well as in plain natural ... -
Extracellular polymeric substances of the marine fouling diatom Amphora rostrata Wm. Sm.
(Taylor and Francis, 2001)Amphora rostrata was grown under continuous illumination at 27 degrees C in batch cultures using f/2 medium. Cell biomass (measured as chlorophyll a and cell counts) reached a maximum on day 7. Thereafter, cell biomass as ... -
Dynamics of thraustochytrid protists in the water column of the Arabian Sea
(Inter-Research, 2001)Thraustochytrids, a group of osmoheterotrophic chromistan protists are ubiquitous in the sea. However, little is known of their ecological role, particularly in oceanic waters. To obtain in insight into their dynamics in ...
