Title Studies on the plankton of the North Kanara coast in relation to the pelagic fishery
 
Creator Ramamurthy, S
 
Subject Phytoplanktons
 
Description The role of plankton in the economy of the seas needs no emphasis. The North
Kanara coast supports a rich fishery for mackerel which is a plankton feeder. How-,
ever, there is no account of plankton of this stretch of the west coast of India. The physico-chemical characteristics of the coastal waters of this region and the
meteorological factors have been dealt with in detail by the author (1963) in a separate
account. The present study relates to the seasonal fluctuations in the standing crop
of plankton as well as those of the main groups constituting the phyto- and
zooplankton, the phyto-zooplankton relationship and the relation of the plankton
to the hydroiogical factors. Certain observations on the feeding habits of mackerel
and oil sardines and the relation of the fishery to plankton and hydroiogical conditions
are also included in this account.
