Effect of monsoonal perturbations on the occurrence of phytoplankton blooms in a tropical bay
(Inter-Research, 2015)
In this study, the influence of intraseasonal variations in rainfall and the resultant freshwater flux (monsoon perturbations) on phytoplankton bloom dynamics were evaluated by quantifying live phytoplankton at a fixed ...
Sexual reproduction in Odontella regia (Schultze) Simonsen 1974 (Bacillariophyta)
(Current Science Association, 2011)
The sequence of spermatogenesis and sperm cell count of Odontella regia (Schultze) Simonsen from Indian waters is reported. The sequence of events in the spermatogenesis producing 16 spermatogonia following four differentiating ...
Simulation experiments to elucidate variable fluorescence as a potential proxy for bulk microalgal viability from natural water, sediments and biofilms: Implication in ships ballast water management
(Elsevier, 2018)
The variable fluorescence fluorometry measuring microalgal biomass (initial fluorescence - F0, a chl-a proxy) and photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm) has been suggested as a potential tool in ballast-water assessment. In ...
Distribution and abundance of benthic macroorganisms in and around Visakhapatnam Harbour on the east coast of India
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2015)
Benthic communities form an important component of the marine food chain. Their occurrence also provides information on the health of the ecosystem. A study was carried out to understand the distribution and abundance of ...
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 ...
Settlement of non-native Watersipora subtorquata (DeOrbigny, 1852) in artificial collectors deployed in Colombo Port, Sri Lanka
(Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre - REABIC, Helsinki, Finland, 2018)
Sri Lanka has been a key node in the historical maritime �silk route� since the 14th century. Colombo Port, with its strategic location in the Indian Ocean, handles most of the country�s foreign cargo. With increased foreign ...
Tiniest primary producers in the marine environment: An appraisal from the context of waters around India
(Current Science Association, 2011)
Phytoplankton (0.2 mm - 2 mm) are the major primary producers in the marine environment thereby forming a basic link in the marine food web. They are categorized into different groups depending on their size range. Cells ...
Difficulties in obtaining representative samples for compliance with the Ballast Water Management Convention
(Elsevier, 2013)
As implementation of the Ballast Water Convention draws nearer a major challenge is the development of protocols which accurately assess compliance with the D-2 Standard. Many factors affect the accuracy of assessment: ...
समुद्री अम्लीकरण का जीव और कीट डिंभको पर प्रभाव
(National Institute of Oceanography (CSIR), India, 2012)
Skeletonema (Bacillariophyceae) in Indian waters: A reappraisal
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)
The planktonic diatom genus Skeletonema is common in Indian coastal waters. Recent taxonomic studies have uncovered high diversity in this genus, and it is expected that several species occur also in the highly diverse ...
