Title: Source identification of a tar residue from Mumbai beach Authors: Kadam, A N; Rokade, M A Abstract: A tar residue from Mumbai beach was matched with the suspected source sample from a tanker using UV, IR and GLC techniques. Negligible differences in several ratios of UV absorbances and ratios of infrared transmittances of the samples as well as their superimposable GLC fingerprint patterns indicated that the beach tar might have originated from the tanker.

Title: Impact of pollution on coastal zone monitoring with benthic foraminifera of Tuticorin, south east coast of India Authors: Jayaraju, N; Reddi, K R Abstract: Magnitude of corrosive effect, lower than normal ornamentation sutural thickenings, pores enlargement and widening of apertures in foraminifera were taken as indices of pollution impact on the coastal zone of Tuticorin. Pollution causes reduced diversity with a decrease in foraminiferal population. More over, there is a reduction in size followed by test wall thickening in Ammonia and Florilus and dispersal and dilution of the pollutants resulting faunal abundances. The effluents effect presents morphological anomalies like erosion along peripheries, abnormal growth of the end chambers inferred dissolution and consequent destruction of small thin walled biota.

Title: Effect of pesticide and heavy metals on growth of marine yeasts Candida parapsilosis and Debaryomyces hansenii Authors: Jayasree, R; Saramma, A V Abstract: Two marine yeasts, Candida parapsilosis and Debaryomyces hansenii were found to be capable of growth in presence of the organophosphorus pesticide, Ekalux(R)EC 25. They utilized the pesticide as a source of phosphorus, suggesting their role in degradation of: organophosphorus pesticides. They were found resistant to the heavy metals tested (mercury, copper, cadmium, zinc and lead). The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIG) for these metals showed great variation. These isolates could produce both acid and alkaline phosphatases in the presence of the pesticide, Ekalux(R). This study shows the potential of marine yeasts for biodegradation of organic compounds entering in the aquatic system. Page(s): 373-375

Title: Distribution of heavy metals in the eggs and hatchlings of olive ridley sea turtle, Lepidochelys olivacea, from Gahirmatha, Orissa Authors: Sahoo, G; Sahoo, R K; Mohanty-Hejmadi, P Abstract: Shell and yolk-albumen of fresh eggs, hatched egg shells and newly emerged hatchlings of olive ridley sea turtle, Lepidochelys olivacea, along with eight nesting beach sand samples showed higher iron, zinc and lead concentrations than cobalt, chromium, copper and nickel. Beach sand samples recorded higher values of all metals than the egg components. Newly emerged hatchlings also recorded higher values than the fresh eggs. Embryos might have accumulated these metals from the nesting beach during incubation. Page(s): 371-372
