Mysidacea (Crustacea) from the Minicoy lagoon (Lakshadweep, India) with description of a new species of Anisomysis
(Taylor & Francis, 2006)Four species of mysids collected from the Minicoy lagoon are reported. Anisomysis minicoyensis sp. nov. is distinguished from the related species by the shape of the rostrum, the relative length of the antennal scale and ... -
Excavations at Bokhira (Porbandar) on the Saurashtra coast
(Indian Society for Prehistoric and Quaternary Studies, 2006)Excavations at Bokhira (Porbandar, Gujarat, India) on the Saurashtra coast revealed at Protohistoric settlement dating back to the mid 3rd millennium B.C. Four trenches were laid in agricultural land where a habitational ... -
Hydrographic features of the gas hydrate studies survey area of cruise AASGH4 in the Bay of Bengal
(National Institute of Oceanography, India, 2006)Hydrographic data were collected from the research ship ‘A.A. Siderenko’ in the Bay of Bengal in [(81.70 degrees E, 82.90 degrees E) x (15.75 degrees N, 16.20 degrees N)] grid at 9 selected stations, in between stn. Nos ... -
Hydrographic features of the gas hydrate studies survey area of cruise AASGH2 in the Arabian Sea
(National Institute of Oceanography, India, 2006)Hydrographic data were collected from the research ship ‘A.A. Siderenko’ in the Arabian Sea in [(70.55 degrees E, 70.95 degrees E) x (15.00 degrees N, 15.50 degrees N)] grid at 15 selected stations, in between stn. Nos ... -
Eddy diffusion coefficients in the coastal waters of north Andhra Pradesh and Orissa
(AP Akademi of Sciences, India, 2003)Marine Environmental Impact Assessment (MEIA) studies help planning setting up of new industries along the coast. In dispersion studies under MEIA, eddy diffusion coefficients are used to understand the mixing of pollutants ... -
Pollution of some recreation beaches of Mumbai, Maharashtra
(Indian Association of Environment Management, 2003)Pollution in terms of water and sediment qualities of Madh. Juhu, Dadar and Girgaon recreation beaches was studied. Water quality in respect of low pH (7.8-8.3), low salinity (15.1-34.5 ppl), high microbial population ... -
Fluxes of nitrogen in Chaliyar River Estuary, India
(International Scientific Publications, 2005)The Chaliyar river estuary is a positive coastal plain estuary with total drainage area of 2923 km2. We investigated the estuary's functions as sink and transformer of nutrients (uptake and release, retaining and recycling ... -
Influence of temperature on the starvation threshold of nauplii of barnacle Balanus amphitrite (Cirripedia: Thoracica)
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2000)An evaluation of starvation threshold of the newly hatched Balanus amphitrite nauplii (instar, II) has been made at three different temperatures (5, 15 and 25°C). Earlier studies on starvation in crustacean larvae demonstrated ... -
Marine boundary layer characteristics during a cyclonic storm over the Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2006)During the period 12–16 June 1996 a tropical cyclonic storm formed over the southwest Bay of Bengal and moved in a north–northeasterly direction. The thermodynamic characteristics of this system are investigated by utilizing ... -
Study of Goa and its environment from space: A report on coastal sand dune ecosystems of Goa: Siginficance, uses and anthropogenic impacts
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, 1998)Until the 1970's, the coastal zone of Goa was largely pristine. However, the advent of tourism and the resultant construction boom along the coastline have induced large scale changes in the geological and ecological set ... -
The coastal regulation zone of Goa: Oceanographic, environmental and societal perspectives
