Role of Reporting in Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement of Ballast Water Management
(ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)
The Decision Support System (DSS) for ballast water management in any given port is dependent on the availability of information on ballast water carried by a ship in advance. Collation of information through Ballast Water ...
Synergistic effect of elevated temperature, pCO2 and nutrients on marine biofilm
(Elsevier, 2016)
Natural marine biofilms provide signatures of the events that occur over a period of time and can be used as bioindicators of environmental changes. Hence, the effects of temperature (30 and 34 °C), pCO<sub>2</sub> (400 ...
Variations in phytoplankton community in a monsoon-influenced tropical estuary
(Springer, 2011)
In a monsoon-affected tropical estuary, oscillations in freshwater discharge during monsoon shifted the phytoplankton blooms from those adapted to low salinity to high salinity and vice versa. Salinity stratification during ...
Dinoflagellate community structure from the stratified environment of the Bay of Bengal, with special emphasis on harmful algal bloom species
(Springer, 2011)
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have been documented along the coasts of India and the ill effects felt by society at large. Most of these reports are from the Arabian Sea, west coast of India, whereas its counterpart, the Bay ...
Phylogenetic diversity of archaeal 16S rRNA and ammonia monooxygenase genes from tropical estuarine sediments on the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2010)
Phylogenetic diversity analyses of archaeal 16S rRNA and ammonia monooxygenase subunit A (AamoA) genes were carried out on sediment samples from the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, Goa, on the central west coast of India. The ...
Stable isotopic analysis of Barnacle larvae and their faecal pellets to evaluate the ingested food
(Elsevier, 2013)
Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen are useful in the evaluation of food web dynamics and have been used extensively in the feeding studies. Barnacles are dominant component of the intertidal and bio-fouling communities. ...
A note on the occurrence of reef inhabiting, red-bellied yellow tail fusilier, Caesio cuning from outside its known geographical array
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)
The reef inhabiting fusilier, Caesio cuning, characterized by pinkish abdomen and yellow caudal fin exhibits shoaling behaviour and is known to be geographically distributed from the Gulf of Mannar to the Vanuatu Islands ...
A first look at the dinoflagellate cysts abundance in the Bay of Bengal: implications on Late Quaternary productivity and climate change
(Current Science Association, 2012)
Abundance and composition of dinoflagellate cysts in a sediment core (SK218/1) from the Bay of Bengal were examined for the last 23 kyr. Cyst abundance at this site varied from 20 to 153 cysts/g dry wt, which is far less ...
Identification of Balanus amphitrite larvae from field zooplankton using species-specific primers
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2015)
Identification of marine invertebrate larvae using morphological characters is laborious and complicated by phenotypic plasticity. Balanus amphitrite is a dominant barnacle, important in the context of intertidal ecology ...
Potential ballast water transfer of organisms from the west to the east coast of India: Insights through on board sampling
(Elsevier, 2018)
The possibility of translocation of organisms via ship's ballast water (BW) during a voyage from Hazira on the west coast to Visakhapatnam on the east coast of India was assessed. Samples of BW during the voyage and discharge ...
