Abstract

Variations in dissolved carbohydrate content in the Cochin Backwater over a period of 24 hours have been given. The DCHO was measured at 2-hour intervals. Its maximum concentration was recorded at 1630 hrs and the minimum at 0430 hrs. Carbon assimilation as a percentage of carbon released in DCHO was 45.29 % as determined by the experimental method and 84.11 % by direct sampling method.
