Studies on the reproductive biology of Indian Sand Whiting Sillago sihama (Forsskal)
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)
Sillago sihama have a prolonged breeding season from June to December, with spawning activity peaked during the period of September to November. Length at first maturity stage was found to vary between 155-164 mm (total ...
Study of age and growth of Indian sand whiting, sillago sihama (Forsskal) from Zuari estuary, Goa
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)
Present study consists age and growth of Sillago sihama. Total 1465 fish were collected from Zuari estuary during January 2004-April 2005 as a part of the above study. To evaluate the age at corresponding length, length ...
Epibiotic communities (microalgae and meiofauna) on the pneumatophores of Avicennia officinalis (L.)
(Elsevier, 2018)
In a mangrove environment, several groups of organisms are symbiotically associated with pneumatophores (aerial roots). But whether these organisms are exclusively found in this habitat (uniqueness) or accidentally settled ...
Seasonal variations and relationships between environmental parameters and heavy metal concentrations in tissues of Crassostrea species and in its ambience from the tropical estuaries
(Springer Berlin, 2018)
This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between physicochemical parameters and heavy metal (Cu, Ni, Pb, and Cd) concentrations from sediment, seawater, and its accumulation in tissues of oyster species (Crassostrea ...
Organic enrichment and benthic fauna–Some ecological consideration.
(NISCAIR, 2014)
In the present study, synoptic data on the structure of macroinfauna and total organic content of sediment collected from different sources were analyzed to look for patterns of association consistent with conceptual model ...
Natural diet of the alligator pipefish, Syngnathoides biaculeatus (Bloch, 1785) inhabiting Palk Bay, southeast coast of India
(NISCAIR-CSIR, India, 2018)
A total of 56 guts of the alligator pipefish, Syngnathoides biaculeatus collected from Palk Bay, southeast coast of India were analysed for determining its natural diet composition. The gut fullness index as assessed by ...
A new species of Eutrachytes (Acari: Uropodina: Eutrachytidae) associated with the indian mangrove (Avicennia officinalis)
(Acarologia, 2016)
A new species of Eutrachytes (Eutrachytes flagellatus) is described based on a complete ontogenetic series, starting from larva and including the adult female and male. This Uropodina mite was isolated from the pneumatophore ...
Meiofaunal distribution across the oxygen minimum zone of continental margin, North East Arabian Sea
(BioPublisher, 2017)
A quantitative study of metazoan meiofauna across the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) of continental margin in the N-E Arabian Sea in the depth range 500-1965 m was carried out in September-November 2008. Bottom water oxygen and ...
Seasonality and vertical distribution of epiphytic diatoms on the pneumatophore surface of mangrove Avicennia officinalis L.
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018)
Mangrove pneumatophores (respiratory roots) form a unique habitat about which very little ecological information is available. In this study, epiphytic diatoms on the pneumatophore surface of Avicennia officinalis (L.) ...
Benthic macroinvertebrate community structure and distribution in the Ayeyarwady continental shelf, Andaman Sea
(NISCAIR (CSIR), 2012)
Quantitative assessment of macrofaunal community of Ayeyarwady continental shelf, Andaman Sea was studied during April-May 2002. About 27 major taxa were identified. Abundance of fauna was in the order of polychaetes ...
