Interdependence of environmental parameters and sand dwelling benthic species abundance: a multivariate approach
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1991)
Multivariate analysis showed dependence of distribution and abundance of sand dwelling fauna on more than one ecologically significant environmental parameters rather than one ecological master factor. Salinity, grain size, ...
Bio-indications of sunken ships and ship wrecks
(NIO. Goa, 1991)
An evaluation of bottom fauna of ship-wreck sites in estuarine and coastal waters of Goa, India, revealed an exceptionally high biotic enrichment. In terms of number of species, faunal dispersion, faunal diversity, biomass ...
Compartmental models for assessing the fishery production in the Indian Ocean
(Wiley, 1991)
Compartmental models for assessing the fishery production in the Indian Ocean is discussed. The article examines the theoretical basis on which modern fishery sciences is built. The model shows that, large changes in energy ...
Bioactivity and chemical ecology of some intertidal animals
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1991)
Some marine organisms from intertidal regions of the Indian Coast have shown promising activities. Marine sponges, coelenterates, molluscs, and echinoderms are found to possess rich sources of novel chemical compounds. The ...
Computerizing marine biota: a rational approach
(1991)
Data on marine biota while being extensive are also patchy and scattered; thus making retrieval and dissemination of information time consuming. This emphasise the need for computerizing information on marine biota with ...
Heterotrophic utilization of extracellular products of phytoplankton in a tropical estuary
(Cambridge University Press, 1991)
Bacterial uptake of algal exudates has been estimated in a tropical estuary, Dona Paula, Goa, India, where the seasonal fluctuations in hydrographic and nutrient parameters as well as dissolved organic matter concentrations ...
Biotechnology for harvesting marine-living resources
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1991)
Strategy for increasing marine fish production in Goa
(ICAR Research Complex, Old Goa, 1991)
Seagrass habitat complexity and macroinvertebrate abundance in Lakshadweep coral reef lagoons, Arabian Sea
(Springer, 1991)
Macrofauna of seagrass community in the five Lakshadweep atolls were studied and compared. The associated epifaunal and infaunal taxa comprising nine major taxonomic groups, showed significant differences in the total ...
Benthic fauna of Kakinada bay and backwaters, east coast of India
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1991)
Quantitative distribution of macro and meiofauna from Kakinada Bay and backwaters was studied. Total macrofauna abundance (no.m/2) ranged from 67 to 116 and 94 to 186 in the backwaters and near-shore environment respectively. ...
