Water quality and phytoplankton characteristics in the Palk Bay, southeast coast of India.
The present study was carried out to determine the water quality in terms of physicochemical characteristics and plankton distribution in the coastal waters of Kattumavadi, Palk Bay for a period of one year from April 2002 to March 2003. Air and surface water temperatures varied from 28 degrees C to 32.50 degrees C and from 27.5 to 32.0 degrees C while light extinction coefficient (LEC) varied ...
متن کاملenvironmental significance in recent sediments along bay of bengal and palk strait, east coast of india: a geochemical approach
the surface sediment samples were analyzed for grain size carbonates (caco3) and organic carbon (oc) to obtain a preliminary view of its environmental conditions near point calimere along the southeast coast of vedaranyam, india. the total concentrations of major elements namely, si, al, fe, ca, mg, na, k and p in the surface sediments of vedaranyam coast are estimated. the element/al ratios al...
متن کاملThe Presence of Biomarker Enzymes of Selected Scleractinian Corals of Palk Bay, Southeast Coast of India
The health and existence of coral reefs are in danger by an increasing range of environmental and anthropogenic impacts. The causes of coral reef decline include worldwide climate change, shoreline development, habitat destruction, pollution, sedimentation and overexploitation. These disasters have contributed to an estimated loss of 27% of the reefs. If the current pressure continues unabated,...
متن کاملSeasonal Variations in the Physico-Chemical Characteristics of the Two Coastal Waters of Palk-Strait in Tamil Nadu, India
In the present study the hydrographical parameters like temperature, hydrogen ion concentration (pH), salinity, conductivity, light penetration, turbidity, total suspended solids (mg/l), total dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen (mg/l), biological oxygen demand (mg/l) and nutrients of the surface waters were studied in both stations of Manamelkudi and S.P. Pattinam. All the physico-chemical para...
متن کاملCommunity structure and coral status across reef fishing intensity gradients in Palk Bay reef, southeast coast of India.
Coral reef fishes are exploited without the knowledge of their sustainability and their possible effect in altering the community structure of a coral reef ecosystem. Alteration of the community structure could cause a decline in the health of coral reefs and its services. We documented the coral community structure, status of live corals and reef fish assemblages in Palk Bay at the reef fishin...
