Maximum concentration ranges of interstitial and adsorbed phosphates are 16-19 and 40-50-mu-g.g-1 respectively in the inshore regions. Significant positive correlations between these fractions of phosphate and texture of sediments are noticed.

Of these, detritus contributed most of the energy (98%). The average caloric content of suspended detritus was 3705 cal.g-1 dry wt.

Oil degradation was slow in first 2 days and on 3rd day 87-94% of oil was degraded by different bacterial isolates. Crude ES factor, which was whitish and gummy in texture, was able to solubilize various hydrocarbons and oil.

Fibre glass surfaces showed higher deposition than those of aluminium. Carbohydrates and lipids were the major constituents of fouling mass as compared to proteins. Fouling diatoms were dominated by the pennate forms (Nitzschia, Navicula and Biddulphia).
