Abundance and diversity of chaetognaths from the Rodriguez Triple Junction area of the Indian Ocean
(The Deccan Geographical Society, 2000)Chaetognaths from the Rodriguez Triple Junction and adjacent parts of the Indian Ocean were studied based on zooplankton samples collected during July to September 1993. Chaetognaths population drastically reduced to the ... -
Buried in time: Culturable fungi in a deep-sea sediment core from the Chagos Trench, Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2004)The recovery of culturable microorganisms from ancient materials, ranging from a few thousand to several million years old, has generated interest in the long-term survival capabilities of micrororganisms. We report the ... -
Chemistry of surface sediment along a north-south transect across the equator in the Central Indian Basin: An assessment of biogenic and detrital influences on elemental burial on the seafloor
(Elsevier, 1998)The detailed chemistry of the surface sediment collected along a north-south transect across the equator in the Central Indian Ocean suggest that: biogenic sedimentation north of equator is dominated by carbonate ooze and ... -
Composition of macrobenthos from the central Indian Ocean Basin
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2009)The deep sea is well known for its high faunal diversity. But the current interest in its abundant polymetallic nodules, poses a threat to the little known benthic organisms surviving in this unique environment. The present ... -
Do manganese nodules grow or dissolve after burial? Results from the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Elsevier, 2007)Fifty buried manganese nodules at different depth intervals were recovered in 12 sediment cores from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB). A maximum of 15 buried nodules were encountered in one sediment core (AAS-22/GC-07) ... -
First nodule to first mine-site: Development of deep-sea mineral resources from the Indian Ocean
(Current Science Association, 2010)Polymetallic nodules found on the deep seafloor (> 4000 m water depth) have been recognized as an alternative source for certain metals, when land deposits get exhausted. Spread over millions of square kilometres on the ... -
Recovery of deep-sea meiofauna after artificial disturbance in the Central Indian Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2005)Colonization of deep-sea (5000–5500m depths) metazoan meiofaunal assemblage (in terms of abundance and community structure) was investigated in the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB), immediately after and also 44 months ... -
Restoration of deep-sea macrofauna after simulated benthic disturbance in the Central Indian Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2005)Macrofaunal communities of the Central Indian Basin (CIB) were sampled with a spade before (June 1997), and immediately after (August 1997), and 44 months (April 2001) after a simulated benthic disturbance for polymetallic ...
