Effect of habitat attributes on the abundance of Sargassum�s epifauna and the feeding habit of an amphipod epifauna from the coast of Western India
Imchen, T.; Ezaz, W. (CSIR-National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research, CSIR-NISCPR, 2023)The Sargassum bed along the rocky intertidal region is highly productive and serves as a habitat for numerous associated species. In this study, the effect of habitat attributes (algal morphology) on the abundance and ... -
Effect of temperature, salinity and biofilm on the zoospores settlement of Enteromorpha flexuosa (Wulfen) J.Agardh
Imchen, T. (CSIR-NISCAIR, 2012)The effect of temperature (10-30 degrees C), salinity (15-35 psu) and biofilm on the settlement of Enteromorpha flexousa zoospores was assessed. Settlement of zoospores was significantly (p less than 0.05) influenced by ... -
Elucidation of the antioxidant potential of marine macroalgal biomolecules for healthcare applications: Current status and future prospects
VijaySankar, N.P.; Jagtap, A.S.; Baghel, R.S.; Imchen, T.; Manohar, C.S. (Elsevier, 2023)Macroalgae are a group of primitive marine algae that are widely distributed along rocky shores in intertidal to subtidal zones. Based on their pigment composition, they are classified into three broad categories: Rhodophyta, ... -
Exposure of Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms to salt water and its implications
Imchen, T.; Sawant, S.S.; Ezaz, W. (Current Science Association, IAS, 2017)In this article, we discuss the effect of salinity on the viability and decomposition of Eichhornia crassipes plant under normal photoperiod, dark condition and physiological response. Highest concentration of total organic ... -
Marine algae colorants: Antioxidant, anti-diabetic properties and applications in food industry
Imchen, T.; Singh, K.S. (Elsevier, 2023)In numerous food businesses, natural pigments are frequently utilized as food colorants.Colorants give nutritional value to food items in addition to improving its appeal, acceptability and flavour.Consumers have a tendency ... -
Marine Macroalgae: Prospective Hitchhikers of Ship Ballast
Imchen, T. (ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)Invasive alien species, on successful establishment, can displace native species. The threat of invasive species arises in view of their ability to outcompete and destabilize native biodiversity. Invasive species are found ... -
Nutritional value of seaweeds and their potential to serve as nutraceutical supplements
Imchen, T. (Taylor & Francis, 2021)Seaweeds are marine autotrophic organisms with numerous bioactive compounds of interest. Several seaweed products are available in the form of food or medicine due to their myriad beneficial biomolecules like anti-diabetic, ... -
Post decomposition effect of water hyacinth on marine phytoplankton - A laboratory study
Imchen, T.; Sawant, S.S.; Ezaz, W. (NISCAIR-CSIR, India, 2018)Solutions obtained from post decomposition of different parts of water hyacinth were diluted with filtered seawater into different concentration (10%, 40%, and 60%) and used for the culture of Skeletonema costatum and ... -
Potential contribution to the nutrient pool due to the decomposition of Eichhornia crassipes under different salinity in an aquatic ecosystem-A laboratory study
Imchen, T.; Ezaz, W.; Sawant, S.S. (Elsevier B.V., 2020)The opening of Thannermukkom saltwater barriers during monsoon causes an Eichhornia crassipes infestation in Cochin backwater, Kerala-India; an annual occurrence. During the process, the plants are exposed to varying ... -
Recruitment potential of a green alga Ulva flexuosa Wolfen dark preserved zoospore and its development
Imchen, T. (Public Library of Science, 2012)The recruitment potential and the ability of Ulva flexuosa Wulfen zoospores to survive darkness were tested under different conditions. The dark preserved zoospore was cultured under a two-factor experimental design to ... -
