Octopus landing at Mumbai Fishing harbour, New Ferry Wharf

Octopuses in the continental shelf and oceanic region are caught mainly as by catch in the bottom trawl and the major genera are Octopus, Cistopus and Eledone.The three main species which constitute the fishery of Mumbai are Octopus dollfusi, Cistopus indicus and Octopus membranaceous.They are processed and sold in local market

Occurrence of Sepia prashadi off Mumbai

Regular and seasonal occurrence of Sepia prashadi was observed at landing centers of Mumbai during September and October since 2000.The bady is slender,elongate and oval in outline.The fins are moderate in width.The dorsal mantle length ranged between 55 to 95 mm.The arms are subequal and tapering

Emergence of oilsardine fishery as an alternative resource for dolnetters at Arnala

Arnala is one of the major dolnet landing centres in Thane District of Maharashtra. Dolnet is a gear exclusively used in Maharashtra and Gujarat. In Maharashtra, they are anchored to poles fixed to the sea bottom and are generally operated from August to May. At Arnala, approximately 375 dolnets are operated and the operation is generally confined to a depth range of 18-22 m

Record of Loliolus investigatoris (Goodrich, 1886),Loliginid squid, Doryteuthis singhalensis (Ortmann, 1891) and Onychoteuthis baski (Leach, 1817) occurring off Mumbai waters

Expansion of fishing areas reported new records of cephalopods were reported from various places all along the coast.The species is processed and exported wholly as ‘baby squids’ alongwith the catch of juveniles of Loligo duvaceli.Loliolus investigatoris (Goodrich, 1886) (Fig.1) occur infrequently in trawl catches.Onychoteuthis baski was also reported which was earlier reported in Andamans and Nicobar islands on a cruise of FORV Sagar Sampada

Note on dol net fisheries at Arnala

Arnala is one of the major dol net landing centers in Thane district of Maharashtra. In maharashtra dol is anchored to poles fixed to the sea bottom, the gear is operated from august to may in the depth ranging from 18 - 22m . Bombay duck is the main species caught in dol nets at Arnala

Stray landings of flying fish, Cheliopogon furcatus (Mitchill,1815) at New Ferry Wharf, Mumbai

Flying fish landings have been observed at New Ferry Wharf landing centre in Mumbai,from trawl net operations

Landings of juveniles of Sepia pharonis (Ehrenberg, 1831) and Loligo duvauceli in trawl catches at New Ferry Wharf, Mumbai.

Juveniles of cephalopods such as Sepiella innermis, Sepia aculeata and Loligo duvauceli were observed at New Ferry Wharf, Mumbai.Occurence of junveniles of Sepia pharonis was rare. Capture of juveniles of such an important resource like Sepia pharonis and L.duvauceli require monitoring and appropriate conservation meas- ures

Occurrence of Octopus vulgaris Cuvier, 1797 at Mumbai, Maharashtra

Octopuses popularly called as ‘devilfish’ are caught mainly as bycatch in the bottom trawl. Due to the growing demand for octopus in the international market, octopus fishery is catching up in Maharashtra. The main fish landing centres for octopus in Mumbai are New Ferry Wharf and Sassoon Dock. Octopuses contribute 3.6% towards the total cephalopod catch in Mumbai. Ommen (1971, 1977) identified many new species of octopus along the west coast of India

Supercritical Carbon Dioxide in Microelectronics Manufacturing: Marginal Cradle-to-grave Emissions

AbstractThis paper presents and discusses the marginal cradle-to-grave environmental impacts of using VLSI grade supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) as a rinsing agent in place of ultrapure water (UPW) in semiconductor fabrication. Impacts are estimated using a consequential life cycle assessment framework for recovered CO2. Upon factoring the cumulative yields of the CO2 recovery and purification processes, compressor energy use (566kJ/kg CO2 output) together with refrigeration (540kJ/kg CO2 output) accounts for about 90% of total on-site electricity use. Upstream emissions from production of propylene carbonate co-solvent contribute to more than 50% of the life cycle impacts of scCO2-based wafer cleaning. Overall impacts of scCO2-wafer cleaning, particularly water and energy use, are found to be significantly lower than UPW
