In the present study, total thirty planktonic members from four sampling sites of selected research area in which, twelve phytoplanktons and eighteen zooplanktons each under different groups namely (Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Euglenophyceae) (Protozoans, Rotiferans, Cladocerans, Copepods) were recorded respectively. Among all phytoplanktonic groups, Chlorophyceae was domina...

Chilika Lake, Asia’s largest brackish water lagoon situated on the East coast of India is separated from Bay of Bengal by sand bars and connected with the sea by a series of tidal inlets. The inlets are maintained by discharges of inflowing streams during monsoon and by tides and ebb tides during non-monsoon. Imbalance in ingress and egress of sediment due to their continuous exchange between s...

This paper describes the potential environmental changes caused by tidal power installations with illustration for schemes in the eastern Irish Sea, focussing mainly on major estuarine barrages. The generic impacts in the near-field and far-field are discussed. Results from a 0-D and a 2-D model are presented: the former allows rapid calculations to be made for a large range of options while th...
