(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 ...
Biology of commercially important penaeid prawns of Goa waters
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1986)

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 ...
