Repercussions of embarkation wharves in Lakshadweep Islands on coral communities and their ecology
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
Present study infers that the construction of embarkation wharves in four of the Lakshadweep islands (Agatti, Amini, Kavaratti and Minicoy) in the last 5 years was accompanied by a marked degradation of coral community ...
Waning of plankton food web in the upstream region of the Cochin backwaters during the southwest monsoon
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2015)
Heterotrophic bacteria (0.2-2 µm), pico-phytoplankton (0.2-2 µm), nano-phytoplankton (2-20 µm), micro-phytoplankton (>20 µm), heterotrophic nanoflagellates (2-20 µm), and micro-zooplankton (20- 200 µm) present in the Cochin ...
Land use/land cover changes around Rameshwaram Island, east coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
Land-use/land cover changes are studied using the Indian Remote Sensing satellite (IRS-1C, IRS-6) Linear Image Self-scan Sensor (LISS) III data of 1998 and 2010 Coastal land use categories such as sand, vegetation, coral ...
Status of mangrove research in India
(Kolhapur: Shivaji University, 1986)
Mangroves along the Indian coast are one of the most neglected living resources, which have been over exploited for various purposes. The total mangrove area along the Indian coast has been estimated tentatively to be ...
Empirical relationships between phytoplankton and zooplankton biomass in Indian Ocean
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1984)
Empirical models based on regression analysis are derived using published values of phytoplankton and crustacean zooplankton biomass from Indian Ocean. Three regression models are derived. There is significant correlation ...
Benthic foraminifers as indices of diversity and hyposalinity in a modern clastic shelf regime, off Bombay, India
(New Delhi: Oxford & IBH, 1985)
A tidally energized clastic shelf regime at 25-45 m depth off Bombay-Daman composed of silty sand, silty clay, and clay fractions is located between a sand bar and the coast. The sand bar, running parallel to the coast, ...

Meiofauna of the Andaman Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Total meiofauna of the Andaman Sea, in the depth range 30-2150m was between 68 and 438/10cm2 (X-bar = 247.8). The biomass was within the range 3.57 and 32.8mg/10cm 2 (X-bar = 14.46). faunal components were maximum in sandy ...
Agglutinated foraminifera from the shelf of east coast of India
(1972)
Of the benthonic foraminiferal species, the agglutinated forms form one of the distinctive elements by differing in type and the degree of their abundance in the several zones of the marine environment. The role played by ...
Some aberrant foraminifera from the shelf sediments of central east coast of India
(1972)
A rich foraminiferal outer shelf assemblage has yielded some aberrant forms in the case of @iUvigerina@@ sp. @iSiphonoperta@@ sp., and @iNodosaria@@ sp. The aberration is (1) in the development of two terminal apertures ...
