Microenvironments and anomalous benthic foraminiferal distribution within the neritic regime of the Dabhol-Vengurla sector (Arabian Sea)
(Universita' degli Studi di Milano, 1980)
An anomalous distribution of benthic Foraminifera within the neritic regime at a few stations indicates the existence of microenvironments. The vertical distribution is marked by the restricted occurrence of @iCibicides@@ ...
A petrographic study of Precambrian quartzites from Goa coast
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
A petrographic and heavy minerals study of quartzites along the Goa Coast, India has been undertaken to decipher their sediment history. The quartzite outcrops exhibit well preserved primary sedimentary structures like ...
Fungal infection in the tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) and in other crustaceans from the Cochin Backwaters
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
Infection of the two species of fungi (Phycomycetes) in the tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) and three species in amphipods (Gammarus sp.) and tanaeidaceans (Apseudes sp.) was observed. Of the two pathogens in the shrimp, ...
Effects of industrial waste disposal on the water quality of the river Kolak
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
About 6 mld of industrial waste water is discharged without proper treatment in the fresh water zone of the river Kolak. Parameters like suspended solids, pH, chloride, DO, BOD, phosphate, nitrate, boron, sulphate and trace ...
Paleogene Reworked Foraminifera in Recent Sediments off Daman, Western India
(1980)
The first record of reworked foraminiferal species in the Recent sediments off the coast of Daman is reported. Among others, @iQuadrimorphina advena, Uvigerina minuta, Gyroidinoides soldani, Bulimina aguafrescanensis@@ and ...
Adaptations in Phytoplankton to Changing Conditions in Tropical Estuaries
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
Experimental studies on phytoplankton organisms from Cochin backwaters (a tropical estuary) have shown that many algal forms are adapted to changing conditions of salinity, light and nutrients. Photosynthesis in 12 species ...
Zooplankton Biomass and Composition in the Western Bay of Bengal during late SW Monsoon
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Copepoda formed the predominant group except in the southern region where a swarm of pelagic tunicates reduced their contribution to only 19% of the total zooplankton count. Decapod larvae occurred in fairly large numbers ...
Distribution of Strontium in Sediments of the Minicoy Atoll, Lakshadweep
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Sr content in 67 sediment samples collected from the Minicoy reef and lagoon varies from 3960 to 7000 ppm (av. 5630 ppm). The concentration increases from the reef (c 4,000 ppm) in the north and west to the centre of the ...
Laboratory and Field studies on an Indian Strain of the Brine Shrimp Artemia
(Belgium: Universa Press, 1980)
The Tuticorin strain of the brine shrimp @iArtemia@@ was studied under both laboratory and field conditions. Studies on the survival of the nauplii at different temperatures and salinities revealed that the nauplii preferred ...
Magnetic Surveys of the Continental Shelf off Visakhapatnam
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)
Continuous magnetic surveys over the continental shelf off Visakhapatnam reveal total magnetic field anomalies of high amplitude and short period over the inner shelf and of comparatively low amplitude with long period ...
