An unusual giant pycnogonid (Pycnogonida-Colossendeidae) Decolopoda qasimi sp. nov. from Antarctic waters
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1993)
Five specimens of benthic pycnogonids collected from the Southern Ocean are described. Of these, two are identified as Nymphon australis (Hodgson) and two as Ecleipsotherma spinosa (Hodgson). One specimen under the class ...
Estuarine biology and management
(Society of Biosciences, Muzaffarnagar, India, 1993)
Estuaries are highly productive and areas of intense activity such as fishing, harbour development and aquaculture. They are also nursery grounds for many organisms. However, they are often subject to heavy human interference. ...
Cultivation of green mussel, Perna viridis L., on a floating raft in an estuary along the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 1993)
Total production of green mussels, Perna viridis, grown on a raft (16 m sup(2)) for 1 year was 2144.64 kg and biomass (meat weight) was 1040.00 kg. Annual production (P) and biomass (B) estimated were 33.51 and 16.25 kg m ...
A freak twin trilobite larva of the Indian horseshoe crab Tachypleus gigas (Muller)
(Bombay Natural History Society, 1993)
Early embryonic stages of a horseshoe crab Tachypleus gigas were studied using micrographs of live embryo. A freak egg showing two trilobite larvae bridged with each other was noticed on 38th day after fertilization. ...
Growth parameters in the cultured green mussel Perna viridis L. from the Zuari Estuary, Goa
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)
Growth parameters for both length and weight were estimated in the raft-grown population of Perna viridis. The asymptotic length (L approaches infinity) and weight (W ) were computed to be 85 mm and 34.37 g respectively. ...
Maturation of Metapenaeus moyebi (Kishinouye) in Goa estuaries
(University of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram, 1993)
An assessment of the stake net fishery in the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries of Goa revealed that Metapenaeus moyebi, a penaeid prawn hitherto rarely recorded in Indian waters, formed a good percentage of the estuarine prawn ...
Particulate organic constituents of surface waters of east coast of India
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1993)
Particulate matter collected from surface seawater (approx 1 m) samples from 11 coastal (depth less than 200 m) and 40 oceanic (depth > 200 m ) stations was studied for particulate organic carbon (POC), particulate ...
