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 ...
Benthic fauna around Mauritius island, southwest Indian Ocean
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1992)
Distribution of benthic fauna in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Mauritius was studied during September-October 1987. Mean faunal density (macro+meio) and dry weight biomass was 10848 no.m/2 and 228.8 mg.m/2, respectively. ...
Environmental impact assessment of benthic community stability in an estuarine complex
(Society of Biosciences, Muzaffarnagar, India, 1993)
Comparison of macrobenthic communities of an estuarine complex at Goa revealed significant changes in faunal structure, in time and space, in less than ten years (1972-73 - 1982-83). The composition of the community was ...
Immediate response of meio and macrobenthos to disturbance caused by a benthic disturber
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, Cupertino, CA (USA), 1999)
The probable impact of nodule mining on benthic biota was studied by creating a benthic disturbance. During the predisturbance study in the Central Indian Basin, box core samples were analyzed for the distribution, composition ...
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 ...
Elemental (C, H, N) composition of zooplankton from north Arabian Sea
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)
Zooplankton samples collected from north Arabian Sea during March 1992 were analysed for elemental (C,H,N) composition. Estimated carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen concentrations displayed variations among different groups but ...
Seasonality in meiofaunal distribution on a tropical beach at Balramgari, northeast coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1995)
Maximum density of meiofauna was recorded during the southwest monsoon season (June to September). The major part of the faunal group consisted of cladocerans (47%) followed by nematodes (15%) and harpacticoids (14%). None ...
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. ...
Spatial variation in meiofaunal abundance of some coralline beaches of Mauritius
(International Society for Tropical Ecology, 1998)
Abundance of metazoan meiofauna was examined at 12 coralline sandy beaches of Mauritius island during September-October, 1987. Beach sediment comprised of moderately well sorted sand particles (Mz=0.53-2.80 phi ; x=1.70). ...
