During the regular environmental monitoring exercise, discrete red-coloured patches were observed in coastal waters of the Bay of Bengal, off Gopalpur Port on 24 April 2014. Water samples from the discoloured zone were collected and transferred into two separate containers. One sample (1 litre) was preserved with acidic Lugol's iodine-formalin solution and the other sample (1 litre) was left as such without any treatment.

Abstract


During the regular environmental monitoring exercise, discrete red-coloured patches were observed in coastal waters of the Bay of Bengal, off Gopalpur Port on 24 April 2014. Water samples from the discoloured zone were collected and transferred into two separate containers. One sample (1 litre) was preserved with acidic Lugol's iodine-formalin solution and the other sample (1 litre) was left as such without any treatment.
