Organic Carbon content of Tropical Zooplankton
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
In the Zuari and Mandovi estuaries variations in organic carbon of zooplankton are 26.4-38.8 and 24-39.9% of dry weight respectively. Maximum carbon content of estuarine zooplankton is observed in November. Organic carbon ...
Plankton Composition in the Coastal Waters between Jaigarh and Rajapur along West Coast of India
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
Diatoms dominated the phytoplankton population in the Konkan coastal waters. Rhizosolenia spp., Ceratulinia sp., Ditylum spp., Navicula sp. and Thalassiothrix spp. were the dominant diatoms observed in this area. Blue-green ...
Zooplankton from the Shelf Watrs off the West Coast of India
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
Zooplankton in the shelf waters of India from Dabhol to Tuticorin was studied during the 17th cruise of R.V. Gaveshani in March 1977. Biomass values were relatively high in the central zone between Mangalore and Alleppey. ...
Role of foraminifera in oceanographic events
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1979)
Foraminiferal studies on deep sea cores have revealed that they represent sediments from the Early Cretaceous to the Present, but the cores from the ridge areas are older in age, indicating sea floor spreading along ...
Shoaling of sergestid shrimp Acetes johni (Crustacea Decapoda: Sergestidae) associated with swarming of gammarid amphipods
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1994)
Aggregation of sergestid shrimp Acetes johni and gammarid amphipods was observed at a station (22 degrees 07'N; 67 degrees 03'E) in the northern Arabian Sea during September 1991. Shoaling occurred in the surface layer ...
Holocene benthonic foraminifera from the shelf sediments of Kerala coast
(Indian Society of Earth Scientists, 1974)
Of the 32 species of benthic foraminifera recovered here some show definite Indo-Pacific affinity. Ecological parameters which govern this offshore region are considered. Several species show similarities with those found ...
Preliminary notes on the decapod larvae of the Arabian Sea
(National Institute of Sciences of India, 1969)
The note presents some general facts regarding the distribution of some of the larger groups of decapod larvae in the Arabian Sea Their relative numbers and the families and subfamilies, so far as can be recognized, ...
A preliminary report on the biomass of chaetognaths in the Indian Ocean comparing the south-west and north-east monsoon periods
(National Institute of Sciences of India, 1969)
The data for the present paper have been derived from the analysis 1276 standard samples of plankton collected during the International Indian Ocean Expedition (1962-65) At the Indian Ocean Biological Centre fractions (3-5 ...
Distribution of meroplankton in relation to the thermocline in the Western Indian ocean during day and night
(Marine Biological Association of India, 1991)
Based on 35 night and 27 day zooplankton collections made from a depth of 200 m to surface and the thermocline layer to surface, the distribution of meroplankton in relation to the thermocline was studied in the western ...
Swarming of Creseis acicula Rang (Pteropoda) in the coastal waters of Goa
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1983)
Swarms of Creseis acicula Rang (Pteropoda) were observed in the coastal waters of Goa regularly in October, from 1976 to 1980. The highest biomass value obtained for this species was 494 ml/100 m@u3@@, forming 96% of ...
