| Description |
The oil spill caused by collision of MSC-Chitra with MV-Khalijia on August 7, 2010 in Mumbai Harbour and surrounding area contaminated the shore and resulted in augmented level of PHc (6692.4-16902.2 mew g/l), though it was seen in low concentration (4.8-6.3 mew g/l) before oil spill (September, 2009). An enhanced concentration of chlorophyll a (2.4-39.2 mg/m sup (3)) during pre-spill decreased significantly (0.8-1.5 mg/m sup (3)) during oil spill. The ratios of chlorophyll a / phaeophytin were always >1 (2.7- 8.0) before oil spill which decreased to
