Benthic community resilience in two differently impacted tropical estuaries: Taxonomic vs functional approaches
(Elsevier, 2022)Estuaries experience incessant modifications due to various stressors causing shifts in the benthic species community structure and ecosystem functioning.Two tropical estuaries along Northwest India, exposed to varied ... -
Benthic cycling of phosphorus in the Eastern Arabian Sea: Evidence of present day phosphogenesis
(Elsevier, 2018)Results of a study on phosphorus (P) cycling in the Eastern Arabian Sea provides convincing evidence of present-day phosphogenesis in the study area. This finding contrasts with previous reports of the occurrence of only ... -
Benthic dinoflagellate blooms in tropical intertidal rock pools: Elucidation of photoprotection mechanisms
(Springer, 2017)Intertidal rockpools (RPs), forming a ubiquitous component of rocky shores, are biologically rich ecosystems influenced by short-term (hours-days) and long-term (days-seasons) fluctuating environments. So far, studies on ... -
Benthic disturbance and impact experiments in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)As a part of the Environmental Impact Assessment studies for nodule mining, a long-term program has been initiated in the Central Indian Basin. Multidisciplinary studies on geological, biological, physical and chemical ... -
Benthic disturbance and monitoring experiment in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Int. Society of Offshore and Polar Engineering, Colorado, USA, 1997)Environmental impact assessment studies for deep-sea manganese nodule mining have been initiated in the Central indian Ocean Basin since 1995. As a part of the first phase for collecting the benthic baseline data, echosounding, ... -
Benthic ecological mapping of the Ayeyarwady delta shelf off Myanmar, using foraminiferal assemblages
(The Palaeontological Society of India, 2014)Information on benthic ecologies is a prerequisite to evaluate marine resources, their management and monitoring the impact arising from their exploitation. In the present study, benthic foraminiferal distributions from ... -
Benthic environmental baseline investigations in the manganese nodule area of the central Indian Basin
(Honolulu: International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineering, 1997)In order to exploit the manganese nodule deposits in future, an assessment of the environmental impact due to potential mining activity, has been undertaken in the Central Indian Basin Under this programme, seabed surveys ... -
Benthic exchange along a tropical estuarine salinity gradient during dry season: Biogeochemical and ecological implications
(Elsevier, 2021)Benthic biogeochemistry and its coupling with pelagic ecology are less understood in tropical than in temperate estuaries, which have significant implications for global carbon and nutrient cycling. In dry season, the ... -
Benthic Exchange of Biogenic Elements in the Estuarine and Nearshore Waters of Western India
(2007)In order to get a quantitative understanding of coupling between benthic regeneration and fluxes with pelagic nutrient cycles and primary productivity in shallow environments of eastern Arabian sea, biogeochemical studies ... -
Benthic explorations and potential demersal fishery resources of the Indian Ocean

Benthic fauna around Mauritius island, southwest Indian Ocean
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1992)Distribution of benthic fauna in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Mauritius was studied during September-October 1987. Mean faunal density (macro+meio) and dry weight biomass was 10848 no.m/2 and 228.8 mg.m/2, respectively. ... -
Benthic fauna of Kakinada bay and backwaters, east coast of India
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1991)Quantitative distribution of macro and meiofauna from Kakinada Bay and backwaters was studied. Total macrofauna abundance (no.m/2) ranged from 67 to 116 and 94 to 186 in the backwaters and near-shore environment respectively. ... -
Benthic fauna of mangrove environment
(M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation, Madras, India, 1994)The distribution, abundance and importance of benthic fauna in a mangrove environment has been discussed. This ecosystem is enriched with terrestrial, aquatic, marshy and mudflat species mangrove environment. Qualitative ... -
Benthic fauna of southwest and southeast coasts of India
(Asian Fisheries Society, Indian Branch, Mangalore (India), 1999)Benthos, sediments characteristics and organic matter content were studied along southwest and southeast coasts of India. Number of groups/species varied with the stations and also with the depths. Population density was ... -
Benthic fauna of Ungwana Bay, Mombassa (Kenya) - A preliminary account
(Scientific Information Centre-PCSIR, 1987)Studies on the benthic fauna of African waters have largely been limited to that of South Africa coast [3,5;7,9,15,18]. Although, the Mombassa Coast is considered importanat for the exploitation of fishery resources. Very ... -

Benthic fluxes in a tropical estuary and their role in the ecosystem
(Elsevier, 2009)In-situ measurements of benthic fluxes of oxygen and nutrients were made in the subtidal region of the Mandovi estuary during premonsoon and monsoon seasons to understand the role of sediment-water exchange processes in ... -
Benthic fluxes of methane along the salinity gradient of a tropical monsoonal estuary: Implications for CH4 supersaturation and emission
(Elsevier, 2018)Observations in the Mandovi estuary, a typical tropical monsoonal estuary located on the west coast of India, revealed that waters were perennially supersaturated with CH4, indicating that the estuary could be a significant ... -
Benthic foraminifera
(Elsevier, 2013)Benthic foraminifera are protozoa, which evolved during Cambrian and at present are found living in all possible marine environments. Their single cell is enclosed in a microscopic calcareous or agglutinated shell called ...
