Brittle stars (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) from seamounts in the Andaman Sea (Indian Ocean): first account, with descriptions of new species
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2012)
Brittle stars were collected on two seamounts in the Andaman Back-arc Basin. Of the six species, two were new to science and are described herein as Ophioleuce longispinum sp. nov. and Ophiophyllum minimum sp. nov., in the ...
Distribution of putative virulence genes and antimicrobial drug resistance in Vibrio harveyi
(Springer, 2011)
The marine-estuarine bacterium Vibrio harveyi is an important pathogen of invertebrates, most significantly, the larvae of commercially important shrimp Penaeus monodon. In this study, we analyzed V. harveyi isolated from ...
Distribution and abundance of macrobenthic polychaetes along the South Indian coast
(Springer, 2011)
Macrobenthic polychaetes play a significant role in marine benthic food chain. A study was carried out to observe the abundance and diversity of soft bottom macrobenthic polychaetes along the South Indian coast, along with ...
A study of meteorologically and seismically induced water level and water temperature oscillations in an estuary located on the west coast of India (Arabian Sea)
(The European Geosciences Union, 2012)
The study examines the observed storm-generated sea-level oscillations (June 2007 and November 2009) during the Sumatra geophysical tsunami (September 2007), indicating similarities in the sea-level response in the Mandovi ...
Anaerobic carbon mineralisation through sulphate reduction in the inner shelf sediments of eastern Arabian sea
(Springer, 2017)
Monsoon-induced coastal upwelling, land run-off, benthic and atmospheric inputs make the western Indian shelf waters biologically productive that is expected to lead to high rates of mineralisation of organic matter (OM) ...
Investigations on a large collection of cosmic dust from the central Indian Ocean.
(Springer, 2010)
We collected 1,245 spherules from the Central Indian Ocean basin by Magnetic cosmic dust collection (MACDUC) experiment raking the deep sea floor. This collection ranks among the large deep sea collections of cosmic dust. ...
Deep-sea mining: Economic, technical, technological, and environmental considerations for sustainable development
(Marine Technology Society, 2011)
Mining of minerals such as polymetallic nodules from the deep-sea floor has been "on-hold" as a result of several factors such as current availability of Cu, Ni, Co and Mn from terrestrial sources and their fluctuating ...
Biomarkers of petroleum contamination in the digestive gland of Perna viridis (L.)
(The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2012)
Oxidative stress responses were evaluated in the digestive gland tissue of Perna viridis exposed to water accommodated fractions (WAFs) of petrol and diesel at 0.5 percent and 5 percent concentrations over 5-, 10-, and ...
Optical closure of apparent optical properties in coastal waters off Goa
(Indian Society of Remote Sensing, 2015)
Inherent and apparent optical properties were measured for coastal waters off Goa, a site on the west coast of India using the in-situ measuring profiling optical instruments. The optical closure was obtained using the ...
Anti-proliferative and angio-suppressive effect of Stoechospermum marginatum (C. Agardh) Kutzing extract using various experimental models.
(Korean Nutrition Society and the Korean Society of Community Nutrition, 2014)
Abundant consumption of seaweeds in the diet is epidemiologically linked to the reduction in risk of developing cancer. In larger cases, however, identification of particular seaweeds that are accountable for these effects ...
