- ItemOceanographic Importance Of The Cochin Littoral(Society of Fisheries Technologists (India) Cochin, 1967) Balakldshnan Nair, N.Situated as it is on the north-western section of the Indian Ocean, the Cochin littoral has played a very significant role in the history of India.

- ItemPearl Culture And Pearl Oyster Cultivation(Society of Fisheries Technologists (India) Cochin, 1967) Tranter, D. J.Few marine animals have yet been tamed and harnessed for man's use. Of these the bivalves have the greatest potential, and of the bivalves the pearl oysters are perhaps the most thoroughly exploited. Not only are they eaten and their shell put to use, but their nacre secreting properties are tapped to produce pearls by design, rather than by accident as in nature.
