Distribution and abundance of mysid shrimps (Crustacea: Mysidacea) in the Northern Indian Ocean.
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
The distribution and abundance of mysids were studied based on materials collected from the upper 1000 m of the Northern Indian Ocean (Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of India) during the period 2002–2006. A greater abundance ...
Benthos
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)
Benthic organisms are sessile and sedentary in nature. True benthos can be divided into two groups - epifauna and infauna. They comprise major invertebrate phyla. Benthic organisms are separated into micro, meio, macro and ...
Response of meiofauna to immediate benthic disturbance in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)
Twenty-four stations (12 each, during pre- and postdisturbance studies) 5300 to 5330 m deep between 10 degrees 01 and 10 degrees 03'S latitude and between 75 degrees 59' and 76 degrees 02'E longitude were sampled to study ...
Composition of heteropods in the Arabian Sea
(Department of Ocean Development, New Delhi (India), 1996)
Distribution of species of Atlantidae, Carinariidae and Pterotracheidae in the Andaman Nicobar Sea is discussed in this paper based on samples of FORV Sagar Sampada. Oxygrus Keraudreni and Protatlanta souleyeti are reported ...
Thraustochytrid fungoid protists in faecal pellets of the tunicate Pegea confoederata, their tolerance to deep-sea conditions and implication in degradation processes
(Inter-Research, 1999)
During a swarm of the tunicate Pegea confoederata (salp) in the northern Arabian Sea, we examined their faecal pellets for thraustochytrid protists and bacteria to understand the role of the former in decomposition processes ...
Distribution patterns of Recent planktonic foraminifera in surface sediments of the western continental margin of India
(Elsevier, 1993)
Study of Recent plankton foraminifera from the surface sediment samples of western continental margin of India reveals the ecological preferences of the different planktonic foraminifera species in the area. Higher absolute ...
Pyloniid stratigraphy - A new tool to date tropical radiolarian ooze from the central tropical Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2002)
Pyloniid stratigraphy, a faunal abundance-variation stratigraphic tool, similar to Cycladophora davisiana stratigraphy employed at high latitudes, is found to work well for tropical radiolarian ooze. The relationship between ...
Characterizing Indian Ocean manganese nodule-bearing seafloor using multi-beam angular backscatter
(Springer, 2004)
Application of quantitative angular backscatter modelling to manganese nodule-bearing areas of the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) has been initiated at NIO during the year 1998. Studies were aimed to establish the ...
Spatial distribution and general population characteristics of Pseudanchialina pusilla (Crustacea: Mysida) in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Station Biologique de Roscoff, 2014)
The distribution and general population characteristics of Pseudanchialina pusilla (Sars, 1883) were evaluated based on zooplankton collections obtained from different seasonal surveys conducted in 2004-2006 in the eastern ...
Distributional characteristics of surface-layer mesozooplankton in the Bay of Bengal during the 2005 winter monsoon.
(NISCAIR, 2014)
Present study consists spatial patterns in biomass, abundance and composition of mesozooplankton in Bay of Bengal. Surface samples were collected from a central open ocean transect along 88ºE and western coastal transect ...
