Estimates of high absolute densities and emergence rates of demersal zooplankton from the Agatti Atoll, laccadives
(American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, 1991)
Direct sampling of the sandy substratus of the Agatti Lagoon with a corer showed the presence of vary high densities of epibenthic forms. On average, densities were about 25 times higher than previously estimated with ...
Zooplankton variability and copepod assemblage in the coastal and estuarine waters of Goa along the central-west coast of India
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, 1998)
Seasonal variations in zooplankton distribution and community structure of copepod species in coastal and estuarine waters of Goa along the central-west coast of India are compared in relation to water temperature, salinity ...
Sustainable shrimp farming in India - Prospects and challenges
(CUSAT, Cochin (India), 1998)
Shrimp farming has grown into a multi-crore industry in India. It has vast potential for further expansion. However, this growing industry needs to develop appropriate indigenous technologies in specific areas to make it ...
Growth of juvenile shrimp Metapenaeus monoceros fed with squid and mussel
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)
Small juveniles of both sexes and females of large juveniles of Metapenaeus monoceros attained faster growth with squid diet. Males of large juveniles registered better growth with mussel diet. No significant difference ...
Parthenogenetic reproduction of Diaphanosoma celebensis (Crustacea: Cladocera). Effect of algae and algal density on survival, growth, life span and neonate production
(Springer, 1999)
The cladoceran Diaphanosoma celebensis Stingelin is reported on for the first time from Indian waters (Mandovi Estuary, Goa). Amictic females were maintained in the laboratory (temperature 24 plus or minus 1 degrees C and ...
Shrimp farming in estuarine environment: Points to ponder
(Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Aquaculture, Subramaniyapuram (India), 1998)
The capture fishery resources have almost reached a sustainable yield and the production can only be supplemented through culture fishery practices. This is particularly true in case of marine shrimps. The annual foreign ...
Marine prawn fishery of India - Its problems and prospects
(Omega Scientific Publ., New Delhi, 1996)
Observations on feeding behaviour and survival rates in the estuarine calanoid copepods Acartia spinicauda and Heliodiaptomus cinctus (Crustacea: Copepoda: Calanoida)
(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, 1999)
Experiments were conducted on the calanoid copepods, Acartia spinicauda (Acartiidae) and Heliodiaptomus cinctus (Diaptomidae) in order to determine food preference and survival rates respectively. Adults of A. spinicauda ...
Microdistribution of zooplankton in the neustonic realm of the eastern Arabian Sea during southwest monsoon
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)
During the southwest monsoon season of 1987, the zooplankton distributions in the neustonic realm (upper 50 cm) of the eastern Arabian Sea were studied and compared with those in the water column. The upper microlayer ...
Brackishwater shrimp farming: Possible impacts on estuarine ecosystem
(University of Kerala, Kerala (India), 1998)
Aquaculture has been widely accepted as a practice that will supplement the capture fishery production, besides generating various types of job opportunities for the rural population. Coastal aquaculture has been given ...
