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 ...
Effect of mining activities on the clam fisheries and bottom fauna of Goa estuaries
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1986)
Comparison of two clam beds and associated benthic fauna, in Mandovi and Cumbarjua canal estuarine system of Goa, India, severely affected by massive inputs of mining rejects, revealed that, in less than 10 years (1972-73 ...
Meiobenthos of Saphala salt marsh, west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1987)
Benthic fauna of the salt marsh comprised 10 taxonomic groups, dominated by nematodes (63.9%), harpacticoids (18.5%), turbellaria (5.6%), crustacean nauplii (5.4%) and polychaetes (4.1%). The population density varied from ...
Growth and production of benthic bivalve, Gafrarium pectinatum (Linn.) from west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)
Production of Gafrarium pectinatum was characterized by the presence of 0,1 and 2 y age groups Average monthly growth in length varied from 0.6 to 3mm The relationship between length and weight was isometric The average ...
Effect of high organic enrichment of benthic polychaete population in an estuary
(Elsevier, 1986)
The benthic polychaete fauna of an estuarine region receiving domestic sewage and wastes from a nearby fish landing jetty was compared to that of a site having normal organic enrichment. The population density, biomass and ...
Validity of zooplankton biomass estimates and energy equivalent in the Indian Ocean
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)
Analysis of the published data on zooplankton biomass in the Indian Ocean reveals that due to omission of data from highly productive neritic Waters, the projected values of 519 x 10 6 tons become underestimated by 91 x ...
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 ...
Abyssal benthos of the Central Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 1982)
Quantitative studies of the abyssal benthos (3600 to 5300 m) of the central Indian Ocean show a rich fauna and high standing crops. Density of 3 meiofaunal and 12 macrofaunal taxa are large (2175 to 15233; chi = 6441 m-2). ...
Benthic macrofauna of the Andaman Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Macrobenthic fauna in the depth range 11 to 2150m comprised 22 faunal taxa. Of these, the polychaetes were the most dominant group and contributed 76.8%. Distribution of macrofauna was substrate specific with maximum (410m ...
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 ...
