Plankton composition in two estuaries of the Konkan coast during premonsoon season
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)
Plankton composition of the Shastri and the Kajvi estuaries of the Konkan Coast were studied during the premonsoon season. Phytoplankton constituents were more abundant at the mid and upper reaches in the former whereas ...
Macrobenthos of the shelf off north eastern Bay of Bengal
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1982)
An extensive survey (76,363 km super(2)) of shelf benthos along the north east coast of India revealed that the macrobenthic production is rich and is comparable with that of the west coast. The biomass and population count ...
Zooplankton biomass and composition in the western Bay of Bengal during late sw monsoon
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Copepoda formed the predominant group except in the southern region where a swarm of pelagic tunicates reduced their contribution to only 19% of the total zooplankton count. Decapod larvae occurred in fairly large numbers ...
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 ...
Distribution of copepods from the polluted and unpolluted regions off Bombay
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Distribution and abundance of copepods in the nearshore waters off Bombay were studied at 4 fixed sampling sites during October 1977 to December 1978.The stations Mahim and Thana received domestic and industrial waste while ...
Chaetognatha of the Andaman Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Chaetognatha of the Andaman Sea were studied during 51 and 52 cruises of R.V Gaveshani (Jan to Feb 1979) The area between southeast of Andaman island and north of Nicobar island had relatively higher density Total population ...
Zooplankton studies in Visakhapatnam harbour and nearshore waters, east coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1988)
Distribution of zooplankton biomass in the waters studied showed remarkable variations. The faunal composition was very diverse and the number of species present was more especially during late pre- and post-monsoon seasons ...
Swarming of Creseis acicula Rang (Pteropoda) in the coastal waters of Goa
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1983)
Swarms of Creseis acicula Rang (Pteropoda) were observed in the coastal waters of Goa regularly in October, from 1976 to 1980. The highest biomass value obtained for this species was 494 ml/100 m@u3@@, forming 96% of ...
The influence of dissolved petroleum hydrocarbon residues on natural phytoplankton biomass
(Elsevier, 1988)
The effect of dissolved petroleum hydrocarbons in the environment on phytoplankton biomass measured as chlorophyll a was studied near the oil tanker route in the southern Bay of Bengal. In the transect from 5 degrees N, ...
Benthos off Cochin, Southwest coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1987)
Macro-invertebrate benthic fauna off Cochin mainly composed of polychaeta (82.45%), crustacea (7.62%), mollusca (5.92%), sipuncula (2.25%), nemertinea (0.96%) and echinodermata (0.80%). The maximum population density and ...
