Benthos off Cochin, Southwest coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1987)
Macro-invertebrate benthic fauna off Cochin mainly composed of polychaeta (82.45%), crustacea (7.62%), mollusca (5.92%), sipuncula (2.25%), nemertinea (0.96%) and echinodermata (0.80%). The maximum population density and ...
Meiobenthos of Saphala salt marsh, west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1987)
Benthic fauna of the salt marsh comprised 10 taxonomic groups, dominated by nematodes (63.9%), harpacticoids (18.5%), turbellaria (5.6%), crustacean nauplii (5.4%) and polychaetes (4.1%). The population density varied from ...
Abyssal benthos of the Central Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 1982)
Quantitative studies of the abyssal benthos (3600 to 5300 m) of the central Indian Ocean show a rich fauna and high standing crops. Density of 3 meiofaunal and 12 macrofaunal taxa are large (2175 to 15233; chi = 6441 m-2). ...
Benthic Studies in Goa Estuaries. Part 3. Annual Cycle of Macrofaunal Distribution, Production and Trophic Relations
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Macrobenthos in Mandovi, Cumbarjua canal and Zuari estuaries, a physically interconnected tropical estuarine system which undergoes large seasonal changes in salinity distribution due to heavy monsoonal precipitation, is ...
Benthos of the Shelf Region along the West Coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1980)
Distribution and abundance of benthos in the depth range of 10-70 m were studied. A definite relationship was observed between benthic biomass, organic carbon, nature of substrata and demersal fish catch. Benthic biomass ...
