Wave Refraction and Littoral Currents off Colva Beach, Goa
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)Wave refraction studies have been carried out for waves of different periods approaching the coast at Colva, with directions of approach lying between180 degrees and 340 degrees, to obtain a qualitative picture of littoral ... -
Occurrence of Green Alga Ernodesmisverticillata (Kuetzing) Boergesen at Malvan (Maharashtra coast)
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)The occurrence of Ernodesmis verticillata belonging to Chlorophyta has been recorded for the first time from Malvan, along the Maharashtra Coast. The general distribution, habit and habitat of this species are given. During ... -
Zooplankton along the Tamil Nadu Coast
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)Zooplankton abundance along two sectors at Cape Comorin and Tuticorin of Tamil Nadu Coast, southeast coast of India was studied. High biomass contributed by Ostracods, Salps, Chaetognaths etc., were observed along Tuticorin ... -
Stability and safety of Anjuna Beach, Goa
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)Studies on the Anjuna Beach, Goa, India, from March to December, 1975, show that it is fairly stable though it undergoes seasonal changes and a series of short-term cuts and fills. The beach appears to be quite safe as the ... -
Sediment Budget of a Portion of Trivandrum Beach (Kerala)
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)Results of beach profile studies carried out on a section of 2.4 kilometres of the Trivandrum Beach during the period April 1976 to March 1977 are presented in this paper. It is evident from these studies that shoreline ... -
Sediments of a Retting Yard
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)Sediments of a coconut husk retting yard and a reference station in Cochin backwaters, Kerala, India were studied for 1 yr. Effects of monsoon were found significant Organic carbon and organic matter showed enrichment in ... -
Acoustic Masking in Sediments due to Gases on the Western Continental Shelf of India
(Elsevier, 1981)Surveys carried out on the western continental shelf of India indicate that the inner and middle shelf to a depth of 50-60 m is covered by acoustically transparent clays. On the shelf off Bombay, the clays are thin near ... -

Bromine and Iodine Content in Sponges and Algae of the Andaman Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)Br and I contents were determined spectrophotometrically in 12 species of sponges and 16 species of algae(red, brown and green). These elements on dry weight basis varied from 0.025 to 1.29% for Br and from 0.001 to 0.085% ... -
Caloric Densities of Ingested Food of Etroplus Suratensis (Bloch) Grown in a Culture Pond
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)Analyses of stomach contents of E.suratensis indicated that it is principally a phytoplankton-detritus feeder. Biochemical analyses of the ingested food showed that of the total consumed food, 44% was contributed by ash ... -
Dissolved Petroleum Hydrocarbons in the Andaman Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)Mean dissolved petroleum hydrocarbons, measured using UV-spectrophotometry, at 0 and 10m were 51 plus or minus 1 and 55 plus or minus 1.2 mu g/litre respectively; range of variation being between 28 and 83 mu g/litre. Very ... -

A Comparative Study of Vertical Stabilities in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal
(India Meteorological Department, 1981)Stabilities in the upper 300 m in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal are computed and presented seasonwise. The water column in the Bay of Bengal is more strongly stratified than that in the Arabian Sea. These studies ... -
Use of Slaughter House Waste as a Feed for Shrimps and Prawns
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)Feeding experiments with some shrimps and fishes (Metapenaeus monoceros, Metapenaeus dobsoni, Sarotherodon mossambicus and Etroplus suratensis) using slaughter house waste as food, showed that the shrimps and arotherodon ... -
Future of Ocean Resources: The Next 25 Years
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1981)The ocean's non-living resources being least exploited have remained nearly inexhaustible. Among the possible mineable mineral resources during the next few decades are: (1) Biological deposits such as coral (e.g. Lakshadweep) ... -
Heat storage in the Andaman Sea
(India Meteorological Department, 1981)Heat storage in the Andaman Sea in upper 20 m, where a strong halocline seems to inhibit vertical heat transport has been evaluated and discussed in relation to the other parameters of heat budget. Estimation of annual ... -
