Coscinodiscus wailesii: centric diatom reported from the oil affected area of North Arabian Sea after Tasman Spirit Oil Spill
In this study presence of large centric diatom Coscinodiscus wailesii was observed in phytoplankton samples collected just after Tasman Spirit Oil Spill (TSOS) and after 1.5 year of spill in Bio-remedial project (BP).Occurrence of Coscinodiscus wailesii in both the study periods showed resistance against spilled oil after an incident of Tasman Spirit Oil Spill which might be due to mucilage secretion on its surface. Moreover Light and Scanning Electron Microscopic illustrations are described in this report.
