The new species is the third of genus Victoriopisa from Indian waters.The described Valanthakad mangrove area Vembanad backwater. cusatensis sp. nov differs other by presenting: (1) a characteristic projection at dorsolateral margin peduncle article 2 antenna 1in male while smooth in female; (2) broad, triangular lateral cephalic lobe; (3) posteroventral tooth epimeral plates; (4) presence and subapical spines telson (5) palm gnathopod without any excavations.
The mangrove crab, Parasesarma bengalense (Davie, 2003), was previously reported in an ecological study from the Coringa Wildlife Sanctuary of Andhra Pradesh on east coast India. No specimen, however, is readily available to confirm identity P. Sanctuary. present confirms presence Indian waters for first time based collections Kerala and Maharashtra west India (Arabian Sea). distributional range now extended Arabian Sea because species known only Bay Bengal Andaman Sea. has 918 marine...
This article contributes to the diversity and stand structure of mangroves in Kerala, India, using multivariate methods. Floristic comprised 18 species true mangroves, which Sonneratia alba, Avicennia Ceriops tagal were found be rare, whereas Bruguiera parviflora was extinct state. Structural analyses revealed importance officinalis domination Acanthus ilicifolius. The mean stem density ranged from 10 13846 no/ha, basal area 0.02 20.19 m2/ha. Multivariate analysis could classified into five...
Stygarctus keralensis sp. nov. (Arthrotardigrada: Stygarctidae), is described from the intertidal sandy sediments of Vadakara beach, Kerala, Southwest coast India. To a certain extent, this new species shows morphological similarity with gourbaultae Renaud-Mornant, 1981, however it can be differentiated by some significant distinguishable characters like double looped seminal receptacle ducts and presence bow shaped internal thickening in between opening receptacles situated below level...
This paper describes the fishery catch structure of Vembanad wetland system during August 2012 to July 2013.The estimates production indicated an annual landing 4387.31t, in which 480.98 t and 3906.33 contributed by southern northern zone respectively.Eighty species finfishes, five penaeid shrimps, three palaemonid prawns two crabs were identified from study period.The per unit effort (CPUE) value was maximum for gill net (3.04 kg•h -1 ) followed stake (2.43 ), Chinese dip (2.01 seines (1.2...
The phytoplankton standing crop was assessed in detail along the South Eastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) during different phases of coastal upwelling 2009. During phase 1 intense observed southern transects (8°N and 8.5°N). maximum chlorophyll a concentration (22.7 mg m −3) waters off Thiruvananthapuram (8.5°N). Further north there no signature upwelling, with extensive Trichodesmium erythraeum blooms. Diatoms dominated these regions centric diatom Chaetoceros curvisetus being dominant species 8°N...
