| Abstract | Depth In spite of varying tidal influence, major part of clam beds at both the stations always remain submerged. The water columns vary from 3·5 to 9·0 m (Ribandar) and 3·5 to 7·0 m' (Banastrim). The variations in depth are due to freshwater drainage, coupled with tidal influence. S11bstratum the physical nature of substratum at both the stations is uniformly sandY, round the year, except during south-west monspon, when it becomes mixed with silt and clay. In the postmonsoon (October-January) and premoilsoon (February-May) seasons, the sandy substrat'm is formed of 30% fine sand, 50% medium sahd and 20% coarse component. The mixed type ~fsubstrate is formed of 65% medium to fine sand and 35% by silt-clay component. |
