Abstract

Observations on the underwater durability of thirteen species of times growth in Andhra Pradesh against marine borer attack at four ports of Naval interest are recorded. Intensity of borer attack was found to vary from port to port, maximum observed being at Port Blair, with Goa, Bombay and Visakhapatnam following in that order. Comparison of borer activity in the harbours studies with past observations has revealed that a change in eco-systems may be occurring at Visakhapatnam harbour.
