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. ...
Resource potential and status of pearl oyster fishery in India
(Society for Marine Archaeology, Goa, 1992)
Many cultivable species of pearl oysters are known to occur in the Indo-Australian Archipelago which is an important region in the world distribution of pearl oysters. An account of the development of Indian pearl fisheries ...
Community structure of meiobenthos from a tropical estuary
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)
Meiofaunal samples were collected from 3 stations, located in the salinity gradient of Zuari Estuary of Goa. Spatially the abundance of meiofauna decreased from lower to upper reaches and followed the trend of salinity ...
Benthic faunal composition along Princess Astrid Coast, East Antarctica

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. ...
Fecundity of the Indian Horse-shoe crab, Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda (Latreille)
(International Society for Tropical Ecology, 1992)
Fecundity in the horse-shoe crab Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda ranges from 4217 to 10,982 with an average of 7438. The ova diameter varies between 1.5-2.3 mm with a model value of 1.7 mm. Number of ova per mm carapace length, ...
Standing crop and growth rates of net phytoplankton and nanoplankton in Antarctic waters
(Department of Ocean Development, India, 1990)
Seasonal variations in the volume of the haemolymph and body weight of the horseshoe crab, Tachypleus gigas (Muller)
(Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, 1992)
The changes in volume of haemolymph of the horseshoe crab, Tachypleus gigas were more pronounced in females of size above 160 mm with maximum values in size group 241-260 mm. In males, the variations in the volume of ...
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. ...
