Relationship between Benthic Foraminifera and Sediment in the Estuarine Complex of Goa
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
Two indices of community association were used to elucidate the relationship between changes in species composition of benthic foraminifera and changes in the grain size composition of the sediment in estuarine complex of ...
Contribution of Phytoplankton Photosynthesis to a Mangrove Ecosystem
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
Primary production in a fringing mangrove ecosystem was measured using two techniques. The first estimated gross oxygen production and community metabolism based on the diel difference in dissolved oxygen concentrations. ...
Organic Carbon content of Tropical Zooplankton
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
In the Zuari and Mandovi estuaries variations in organic carbon of zooplankton are 26.4-38.8 and 24-39.9% of dry weight respectively. Maximum carbon content of estuarine zooplankton is observed in November. Organic carbon ...
Benthic Studies in Goa Estuaries. Part 3. Annual Cycle of Macrofaunal Distribution, Production and Trophic Relations
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Macrobenthos in Mandovi, Cumbarjua canal and Zuari estuaries, a physically interconnected tropical estuarine system which undergoes large seasonal changes in salinity distribution due to heavy monsoonal precipitation, is ...
The Protozoan Associates of some Crustaceans
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
Protozoan associates found on the estuarine shrimp Metapenaeus monoceros (Fabricius) and the tanaidacean Apseudes chilkensis (Chilton) from Cochin backwaters have been described. A peritrich ciliate Zoothamnium rigidum ...
Effect of Petroleum Products on Mangrove Seedlings
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
The effect of petrol, diesel and motor oil was studied on the fruits of Rhizophora mucronata and Avicennia officinalis. The former species was found to be more resistant to these petroleum products than the latter, in which ...
Seasonal Variations in Secondary Production of the Mandovi-Zuari Estuarine System of Goa
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Mean rates of secondary production in the Mandovi, Zuari and Cumbarjua canal, Goa, India were 16.9, 35.9 and 32.4 mg C/m2/day respectively. The general hydrographic conditions of the Zuari were responsible for the higher ...
Dichotomosiphon Salina sp. nov. - A New Marine Algal form from Goa Estuary, India
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
A new species Dichotomosiphon salina sp. of family Vaucheriaceae has been reported from brackish water areas of Goa. The high salinity tolerance of 40 ppt and the variation in size as well as shape of the reproductive ...
Production and Associations of Zooplankton in Estuarine and Nearshore Waters of Goa
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Zooplankton production in the Zuari and Mandovi estuaries indicated 2 peaks-one in November and another in March/April. In the nearshore waters very high value of zooplankton biomass was observed in April associated with ...
