Application of remotely sensed sea surface temperature for assessment of recurrent coral bleaching (2014-2019) impact on a marginal coral ecosystem
De, K.; Nanajkar, M.; Arora, Mohit; Nithyanandan, M.; Mote, S.; Ingole, B.S. (Taylor & Francis, 2022)The 2014-2016 El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) caused a prolonged marine heatwave that led to widespread coral bleaching and mortality across the Indo-pacific coral reefs.Prediction of coral bleaching and assessment of ... -
Bacterial diversity associated with a newly described bioeroding sponge, Cliona thomasi, from the coral reefs on the West Coast of India
Mote, S.; Gupta, V.; De, K.; Nanajkar, M.; Damare, S.R.; Ingole, B. (Springer, 2021)The bacterial diversity associated with eroding sponges belonging to the Cliona viridis species complex is scarcely known. Cliona thomasi described from the West Coast of India is a new introduction to the viridis species ... -
Characterization of anthropogenic marine macro-debris affecting coral habitat in the highly urbanized seascape of Mumbai megacity
De, K.; Sautya, S.; Gaikwad, Santosh; Mitra, A.; Nanajkar, M. (Elsevier, 2022)Marine debris has become a major form of pollution and a serious ecosystem health concern. The present study evaluates the accumulation, origin, and fate of debris in intertidal coral habitats of Mumbai-one of the world's ... -
Coral damage by recreational diving activities in a Marine Protected Area of India: Unaccountability leading to 'tragedy of the not so commons'
De, K.; Nanajkar, M.; Mote, S.; Ingole, B.S. (Elsevier Ltd, 2020)Globally, coral reefs have drastically degraded due to local and global environmental stressors. Concurrently, coral reef tourism is rapidly growing in developing economies, which is one of many anthropogenic stressors ... -
Coral reef restoration - A way forward to offset the coastal development impacts on Indian coral reefs
Nanajkar, M.; De, K.; Ingole, B. (2019)Globally, coral reefs are degrading rapidly due to the combined impact of wide-scale anthropogenic activities and climate change. Similarly, coral reefs in India are facing an existential threat because of intensified ... -
Current status and scope of coral reef research in India: A bio-ecological perspective
De, K.; Venkataraman, K.; Ingole, B.S. (CSIR-NISCAIR, 2017)Coral reefs are staggeringly diverse and complex ecosystem. But, this tropical wonder is currently degrading at alarming rates and, facing a high risk of extinction due to several anthropogenic and natural disturbances. ... -
Differential Symbiodiniaceae Association With Coral and Coral-Eroding Sponge in a Bleaching Impacted Marginal Coral Reef Environment
Mote, S.; Gupta, V.; De, K.; Hussain, A.; More, K.; Nanajkar, M.; Ingole, B.S. (Frontiers, 2021)Marginal reefs are known for severe stress-inducible perturbations such as high sedimentation, eutrophication, ocean warming, and acidification from anthropogenic climate change. The corals striving in such stressful ... -
Macrobenthic community structure response to coastal hypoxia off Southeastern Arabian sea
Ingole, B.S.; Periasamy, R.; De, K. (Omics, 2016)The analysis of changes in macrobenthic community using multivariate statistical techniques has been applied to find the structure by the environmental condition. The aim of the study was to evaluate macrofaunal community ... -
Mangroves in the "Plasticene: High exposure of coastal mangroves to anthropogenic litter pollution along the Central-West coast of India
De, K.; Sautya, S.; Dora, G.U.; Gaikwad, Santosh; Katke, D.; Salvi, A. (Elsevier, 2023)Anthropogenic litter is a ubiquitous stressor in the global ocean, and poses ominous threats to oceanic biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.At the terrestrial-ocean interface, tropical mangrove forests are subject to ... -
Octocoral colonies as spawning ground for the cuttlefish Sepiella inermis (Cephalopoda: Sepiidae)
Gaikwad, Santosh; De, K.; Nanajkar, M.; Sautya, S. (Springer, 2021)Corals are key ecosystem engineers, supporting marine biodiversity by providing nursery ground and living habitat. Among corals, octocorals are a diverse group of soft corals that are an integral part of reef ecosystems. ... -
Polychaete assemblage driven by substrate composition along the coastal waters of the South-eastern Arabian Sea
Rengaiyan, P.; De, K.; Ingole, B. (Elsevier, 2017)The spatial variation in polychaete community structure and sediment composition was studied along the coastal waters of the South-eastern Arabian Sea. Sampling was conducted during the pre-monsoon season (2011-2014) in ... -
Prevalence of skeletal tissue growth anomalies in a scleractinian coral: Turbinaria mesenterina of Malvan Marine Sanctuary, eastern Arabian Sea
Hussain, A.; De, K.; Thomas, L.; Nagesh, R.; Mote, S.; Ingole, B.S. (Inter Research, 2016)Skeletal tissue growth anomalies (STAs) of corals are capable of causing considerable degradation of reef health. This study is the first report of growth anomalies in Turbinaria corals and the first descriptive study of ... -
Reef on the edge: Resilience failure of marginal patch coral reefs in Eastern Arabian Sea under recurrent coral bleaching, coral diseases, and local stressors
De, K.; Nanajkar, M.; Mote, S.; Ingole, B.S. (Springer, 2023)Marked by strong El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) effects during 2014-2016, global coral reefs underwent mass bleaching.Here, we conducted a comprehensive (2014-2019) study, coinciding with the 2014-16 ENSO, to investigate ... -
The hard corals (Scleractinia) of India: A revised checklist
De, K.; Venkataraman, K.; Ingole, B. (CSIR-NISCAIR, Newdelhi, 2020)Persistence of coral reefs is threatened globally due to intensified human activities and ongoing climate change. Coral reefs in India are also suffering from acute stress events like mass coral bleaching and coastal ... -
Translocation of intertidal corals in highly urbanized Mumbai seascape: A pragmatic management initiative towards ecosystem conservation
