An Account on marine wood-boring organisms of offshore waters of Bombay High, India
Wagh, A.B.; Raveendran, T.V. (Kerala: Kerala Univ., 1987)An incidence of wood-boring organisms in a water column of 75 meters depth, 160 km off the Bombay coast is reported. The destruction of untreated panels of mango wood exposed for periods varying from 1-12 months was caused ... -
Antifouling activities of marine sedentary invertebrates on some macrofoulers
Wilsanand, V.; Wagh, A.B.; Bapuji, M. (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, 1999)Antifouling activities of alcohol extracts from four gorgonian species (Melitodes sp., Gorgonella sanguinolenta, Echinogorgia complexa, Acanthogorgia turgida), five soft corals [Dendronephthya sp. 1, Dendronephthya sp. 2, ... -
Antifouling property of the fruits of Randia brandisii (Rubiaceae) and Sapindus trifoliatus (Sapindaceae)
Sawant, S.S.; Wagh, A.B. (NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1992)Methanol extracts of fruits of Randia brandisii (Gamble) and Sapindus trifoliatus (Vah) were assessed for marine antifouling properties. The coatings of these crude extracts on aluminium coupons were found to inhibit ... -
Antimicrobial properties of poriferan species from Indian waters
Mokashe, S.S.; Tulaskar, A.S.; Venkat, K.; Wagh, A.B. (New Delhi: Oxford and IBH, 1994)Poriferan species belonging to Class Demospongiae were collected from the rocky intertidal pools of Ratnagiri (Maharashtra, India) and extracted with methanol. The methanol extracts were tested for antimicrobial activity ... -
