Geostatistical Modelling of Sediment Chemistry of Ashtamudi Lake Using Gis and Study the Change During Past Several Years
Pramana Research Journal ISSN NO: 2249-2976 GEOSTATISTICAL MODELLING OF SEDIMENT CHEMISTRY OF ASHTAMUDI LAKE USING GIS AND STUDY THE CHANGE DURING PAST SEVERAL YEARS Grace K Mikhayel1, Prof .Chinnamma2 Malabar College of Engineering and Technology, Kerala Technology University, Thrissur (Dist),Kerala,India Abstract Water is valuable natural resources that essential to human survive and the ecosystems health. Water are comprises of coastal water bodies and fresh water bodies (lakes, river and groundwater). Since the past few decades, the increasing of anthropogenic activities especially in industrial area has effects to water bodies. This is the global issues which happening throughout the world and Kerala also face these problems. This study attempts to show the spatial distribution of sediment chemical parameters in the Ashtamudi Lake, Kollam and study the change during several past years. It also shows the partitioning of heavy metals in lake water. The Ashtamudi Lake is the second largest wetland ecosystem in Kerala. The lake is polluted by nearby factories, oil mills, boats, septic wastes etc. Sediment play an important role in elemental cycling in the aquatic environment and can be a sensitive indicator for monitoring contaminants in aquatic environment. GIS and remote sensing techniques can be used to make effective maps showing the effective spatial distribution of each parameters. Also sediment samples from various sample locations of Ashtamudi Lake will be collected and testing will be done accordingly. Index Term-Ashtamudi lake1, sediment sample2, sample point3, sample location4,parameters5 1. INTRODUCTION Water is valuable natural resources that essential to human survive and the ecosystems health. Water are comprises of coastal water bodies and fresh water bodies (lakes, river and groundwater). -

Ecology of Indian Estuaries: Part I-Physico-Chemical Features of Water & Sediment Nutrients of Ashtamudi Estuary
Indian Journal of Marine Sciences Vol. 12, September 1983, pp. 143-150, Ecology of Indian Estuaries: Part I-Physico-Chemical Features of Water & Sediment Nutrients of Ashtamudi Estuary N BALAKRISHNAN NA.IR, P K ABDUL AZIS, K DHARMARAJ, M ARUNACHALAM, K KRISHNA KUMAR & N K BALASUBRAMANIAN Department of Aquatic Biology & Fisheries, University of Kerala, Trivandrum 695007 Received 21 March 1983; revised received 24 May 1983 Detailed analyses of physico-chemical characteristics and sediment nutrients of Ashtamudi estuary covering the entire biotope from the marine to the riverine zone are presented; this second biggest estuarine system in Kerala is found to be a zone of severe pollution caused by effiuents from a paper mill situated upstream. Seasonal variations in temperature and pH and in the concentrations of dissolved oxygen, salinity, phosphate-P, nitrate-N, nitrite-N, and silicate-Si in estuarine waters have been observed at 4 selected stations. The study has indicated a distinct degree of change in relation to the water quality at Kadapuzha. The nature, degree, and extent of ecological transformation undergone by this vast estuarine system has been briefly discussed. Seasonal variations of organic carbon (DC), total P, total N and total K in the sediments are studied in relation to certain physico-chemical characteristics. Correlations between DC, total P, total N and total K and the grain size reveal that fine grained elements contain more DC and P. Existence of organic phosphate in the sediments of the Ashtamudi estuary is evidenced by the correlation between DC and P in all the 4 stations. Results of the present study indicate the imperative need to keep the effects of pollution within manageable limits. -

Unusual Landing of Whale Shark Rhincodon Typus at Neendakara Fisheries Harbour, Kerala
Marine Fisheries Information Service T&E Ser., No. 207, 2011 39 Occurrence of baby turtles at Puthen Kadappuram Beach, Thrissur, Kerala K. G. Baby Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Kochi A rare sight of crawling young ones of the marine Olive ridley turtle was seen at Puthen Kadappuram, Thrissur on 22-02-2010. There were 110 nesting eggs which were laid 47 days back in a two feet deep trench about 50 m away from the sea. These eggs were monitored by the local turtle conservation committee and 85 freshly hatched baby turtles were Young ones of Olive ridley turtle observed at Puthen carefully released to the sea at sunrise. Kadappuram beach Unusual landing of whale shark Rhincodon typus at Neendakara Fisheries Harbour, Kerala P. T. Mani Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Kochi On 29-01-2010, a whale shark (Rhincodon typus) was landed at Neendakara Fisheries Harbour in Kollam District, Kerala. The shark was caught in Hooks and Line off Chavara. The specimen landed was a juvenile female shark measuring 4.15 m (TL) and 0.83 m (maximum body depth), weighing around 450 kg. The fish was hurriedly put in a lorry and taken away and hence detailed measurements could not be taken. Whale shark (Rhincodon typus) landed at Neendakara Fisheries Harbour, Kollam Blue whale washed ashore at Kuttayi Landing Centre, Malappuram, Kerala Rajool Shanis, K. V. Akhilesh and D. Prakashan Central Marine Reasearch Institute, Kochi On 27th February 2010, a blue whale, Balaenoptera musculus, measuring 31 feet in total length was washed ashore at Kuttayi Landing Centre in Malappuram District of Kerala.
