Studies on the intertidal macrofauna of the sandy beach at Kavarati atoll (Lakshadweep)
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1986)
The distribution of macrofauna in Kavaratti Atoll is studied in the intertidal region for over a period of 13 months. Several diversity in the faunal composition was not observed. The polychaete Scoloplos sp. and the bivalve ...
Zooplankton standing stock and composition in coastal waters of Goa, west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1985)
Temporal and spatial variability in standing stock and zooplankton composition at 5 stations along the Goa Coast, India during 1975-76 were studied. Standing stock values ranged from 22.81 to 53.65 mg C.m/3. Zooplankton ...
Occurrence of swarms of Sagitta enflata (Chaetognatha) and Pleurobrachia globosa (Ctenophora) in the coastal waters of Goa
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1982)
Swarms of Chaetognatha @iSagitta enflata@@ Grassi and Ctenophore @iPleurobrachia globosa@@. Moser were studied in coastal waters of Goa. These two forms together constituted 90 to 94% of total biomass. Medusae and Siphonophora ...
Plankton Composition in two Estuaries of the Konkan coast during Premonsoon Season
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)
Plankton composition of the Shastri and the Kajvi estuaries of the Konkan Coast were studied during the premonsoon season. Phytoplankton constituents were more abundant at the mid and upper reaches in the former whereas ...
Zooplankton along the Tamil Nadu Coast
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)
Zooplankton abundance along two sectors at Cape Comorin and Tuticorin of Tamil Nadu Coast, southeast coast of India was studied. High biomass contributed by Ostracods, Salps, Chaetognaths etc., were observed along Tuticorin ...
Benthos of the Narmada estuary

Benthos of the Shelf Region along the West Coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Distribution and abundance of benthos in the depth range of 10-70 m were studied. A definite relationship was observed between benthic biomass, organic carbon, nature of substrata and demersal fish catch. Benthic biomass ...
