Influence of bacterial exopolymers and the adult extract of Balanus amphitrite and Cthamalus sp. on cyprid metamorphosis of Balanus amphitrite
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)
Settlement of barnacle, a major fouling organism is believed to be controlled to a great extent by substratum characteristics such as, presence of conspecific adults or "gregariousness" inducing factors. Exopolymers secreted ...
Accumulation of copper and zinc by balanus amphitrite in a tropical estuary
(Elsevier, 1988)
@iBalanus amphitrite@@ (Cirripedia: Thoracica) a dominant fouling organism was analysed to assess the accumulation potentialities of copper and zinc. It was observed that it could accumulate Cu to 864.77 mu g g-1 dry wt. ...
A device for biofouling studies in estuaries in relation to the tidal cycle
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1985)
A device developed for studying the bio-ecological processes in an estuary in relation to the tidal flow is described. The deployment of this device could provide continuous and reliable data which will, not only minimize ...
New record of Scleractinian coral Astrangia sp. from Indian waters
(Current Science Association, 1984)
The scleractinian coral Astrangia was found to have settled on aluminium and mild steel panels exposed at the two stations at Cortalim beach and oil jetty of Marmugao harbour, Goa, India. This is a new record of the specimen ...
Destruction of timber panels by wood boring organisms in Mandovi estuary of Goa
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1983)
Destruction on mango wood (Mangifera indica Linn.) panels in the Mandovi Estuary of Goa, India at 5 different depths was studied for different seasons. The causative organisms were found to be Lyrodus pedicellatus Quatrefages ...
Observation on the Behaviour of Timber in Zuari Estuary of Goa
(Springer, 1982)
Marine sponges: a potential source of eco-friendly antifouling compounds
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)
Antifouling protocols rely to a great extent on the application of paints or altering substratum characteristics. It has been evidence that commercial antifouling paints which are currently in use employ toxic biocides. ...
Cryoperservation of Balanus amphitrite nauplii
(Academic Press, 1997)
The possibility of cryopreserving B. amphitrite (Cirripedia; thoracica) nauplii is explored. The effects on the postthaw survival of a range of cryobiological variables are reported; three different cryoprotectants (ethylene ...
Fouling diatom community with reference to substratum variability in tropical marine environment
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)
Diatoms are the earliest autotrophic colonizers and are responsible for the major input of energy in the form of reduced carbon to the surfce. However, information regarding the population structure of diatoms in theearly ...
