Bacterial standing stock, meiofauna and sediment-nutrient characteristics: Indicators of benthic disturbance in the Central Indian Basin
Raghukumar, C.; LokaBharathi, P.A.; Ansari, Z.A.; Nair, S.; Ingole, B.S.; Sheelu, G.; Mohandass, C.; Nath, B.N.; Rodrigues, N. (Pergamon, 2001)As a part of the environmental impact assessment studies for polymetallic nodule mining, the effect of simulated "benthic disturbance" caused by a benthic hydraulic disturber was studied in the Central Indian Basin (CIB). ... -
Immediate response of meio and macrobenthos to disturbance caused by a benthic disturber
Ingole, B.S.; Ansari, Z.A.; Matondkar, S.G.P.; Rodrigues, N. (International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, Cupertino, CA (USA), 1999)The probable impact of nodule mining on benthic biota was studied by creating a benthic disturbance. During the predisturbance study in the Central Indian Basin, box core samples were analyzed for the distribution, composition ... -
Impact of benthic disturbance on megafauna in Central Indian Basin
Rodrigues, N.; Sharma, R.; Nath, B.N. (Pergamon, 2001)Deep-sea photographs and video data were studied to evaluate the effects of benthic disturbance on megafaunal distribution in the Central Indian Basin. Xenophyophores (41%) and holothurians (30%) are the most abundant taxa, ... -
Macrobenthic communities of the coastal waters of Dabhol, west coast of India
Ingole, B.S.; Rodrigues, N.; Ansari, Z.A. (NISCAIR, CSIR, 2002)Macrobenthic community of a shallow subtidal (5-20 m) muddy deposit off Dabhol was investigated. Sediment comprised mainly of silt and clay with less of sand. Dominance of clayey-silt fraction reflects on active flocculation ... -
Response of deep-sea macrobenthos to a small-scale environmental disturbance
Ingole, B.S.; Ansari, Z.A.; Rathod, V.; Rodrigues, N. (Elsevier, 2001)To assess the possible effect of nodule mining on deep-sea environment, the Indian deep-sea environment experiment (INDEX) was undertaken in the Indian Basin. The present investigation is a part of the disturbance and ... -
Response of meiofauna to immediate benthic disturbance in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
Ingole, B.S.; Ansari, Z.A.; Rathod, V.; Rodrigues, N. (Taylor and Francis, 2000)Twenty-four stations (12 each, during pre- and postdisturbance studies) 5300 to 5330 m deep between 10 degrees 01 and 10 degrees 03'S latitude and between 75 degrees 59' and 76 degrees 02'E longitude were sampled to study ...
