Utilization of natural byproducts for the cultivation of blue-green algae
The work of Allen, Gross and Harveyo has
proved t he importance of trace elements as
essential auxiliaries of the major nutrients, Ca,
K, Mg, Na, Cl, S, P and N in the metabolism
of planktonic organisms including diatoms. In
their studies extracts of Ulva and Fucus, unsuspected
as sources of trace elements, were
actually found to induce the growth in cultures
of diatoms in artificial sea-water
Application of satellite data for marine Fishery forecasting
The sharing of the pelagic and demersal common property fishery resources of the
coastal waters has created considerable tensions, law and order problems and conflicts
among various fishing sectors in the recent past. Fishes are known to react to
changes in environmental conditions and migrate to areas where favourable conditions
in terms of seawater temperature, dissolved oxygen and salinity exist. Monitoring
of these parameters in space and time is time consuming and prohibitively
expensive. Indirect method of monitoring selected parameters such as sea surface
temperature and phytoplankton pigments is found very ideal in view of its high
repetivity and spatial coverag
Present Status of MaricuIture in India
Aquaculture, the farming of aquatic animals and plants has been the world's fastest food production system for the past decade with an average compound growth rate of 9.6% per year since 1984. On the basis of the rapid growth of the aquaculture sector and recent stagnation of landings from capture fisheries, aquaculture is seen by many as a potential source of hope to meet the current and future needs of a growing population in search of food
Fermentation process for the production of quality fish meal
Fishy odour of shark liver oil is completely
removed as a result of agitation of the
oil with fermenting milk for 36 hours. This
suggested the possibility of preventing the
development of rancidity in fish meals by the
treatment of the raw material with fermenting

As in the case of terrestrial animals, the marine fauna
including fish also respond, in varying degrees, to changes in
the environmental conditions. The physical parameters such
as sea water temperature, density, hydrostatic pressure,
horizontal and vertical movements of water masses, the
intensity of solar radiation and chemical parameters including
the saltiness of seawater, dissolved gases and biological factors
such as the availability of food and occurrence of predators
decide the occurrence, distribution, abundance, reproduction
and mortality of individual species in space and time
Oceanographic aspects of Lakshadweep waters in relation to skipjack tuna fisheries
The variations noticed on important oceanographic parameters such as surface currents, seawater temperature. salinity and dissolved oxygen content of waters around Lakshadweep group of islands are discussed in brief. An attempt is made to correlate selected parameters with the occurrence/abundance of Skipjack tuna catches in and around the islands. It is observed that apart trom factors such as sea water, temperature and salinity, the resultant effect of the phenomenon of 'upwelling ' mainly caused by diverging current systems contribute towards concentration of Skipjack tuna in certain localities. It may be possible that fishing areas for Skipjack tuna could be predicted sufticiently in advance by monitoring the formation and shifting of divergence zones around these islands during the period, November - March, the season for the Skipjack tuna fishery. The possibilities of utilising Satellite Remote Sensing data to locate thermal boundaries, resulting out of divergence, is also suggested
Water - soluble constituents of Gracilaria lichenoides
The seasonal variation in the water- soluble constituents of Gracilaria Iichenoides collected from. Palk Bay has been studied. An economic method has been worked out for the extraction of agar from the seaweed
я╗┐Indian marine capture fisheries - present trends and future possibilities
я╗┐In India, the last few decadesтАЩ fisheries research together with technological
advancement in the harvest and post harvest scenario has accelerated the
processes of transformation of a subsistence oriented traditional sector marine
capture fisheries into a market oriented multi-crore industrial sector activity
with considerable strength and capabilities in essential infrastructures
Chemical composition of lagoon muds
It has been shown in earlier communications (Krishna Pillai, 1954, -1955) that the conditions existing in salt-water lagoons bear no similarity to those found either in open sea or in fresh-waters and that productivity in the lagoons is controlled by factors that difrer in nature and degree of in.fluence from those of the natural environment
