Seasonality of macrobenthic assemblages and the biotic environmental quality of the largest monsoonal estuary along the west coast of India
(Springer, 2021)
This study deals with the macrobenthic assemblages and the biotic environmental quality of Kochi backwaters (KBW), India. Due to the heavy river discharge, extensive limnetic and turbid conditions prevailed in the KBW ...
Comparative assessment of amino acids composition in two types of marine fish silage
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021)
Fish silage is a brown liquefied product achieved by the action of enzymes when finely grounded whole/parts of either single or mixed fish types are subjected to acidification. This study made a comparative assessment of ...
Spectral peak wave period climatology and its relationship with natural climate variability over the Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2021)
The predominance of swells or wind-seas at a location can be inferred from the spectral peak wave period (Tp). The present study examines the climatology of Tp and its variability in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) during the last ...
Differential tolerance capacity of intertidal organisms (sponge and zoanthid) to the environmental stresses: Preliminary findings from a rockpool transplantation experiment
(Springer, 2021)
Marine intertidal organisms face extreme environmental fluctuations due to tidal cycles. To investigate the impact of environmental changes (high salinity, sea surface temperature, and anthropogenic pollution) on the health ...
Influence of low-temperature fluids and post-depositional changes in the siliceous-pelagic sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Springer, 2021)
In this paper, we discuss the possible reasons for the mass disappearance of radiolarians, hiatus in sedimentation, low-temperature alteration of sediments, and formation of palagonite and phillipsites in the Central Indian ...
Reviews and syntheses: Physical and biogeochemical processes associated with upwelling in the Indian Ocean
(Copernicus GmbH, 2021)
The Indian Ocean presents two distinct climate regimes. The north Indian Ocean is dominated by the monsoons, whereas the seasonal reversal is less pronounced in the south. The prevailing wind pattern produces upwelling ...
Quinolizidine Alkaloids from Marine Organisms: A Perspective on Chemical, Bioactivity and Synthesis
(Bentham Science Publisher, 2021)
Marine organisms produce numerous secondary metabolites that exhibit a wide range of biological activities, which have applications in pharmaceutical research. Numerous secondary metabolites have been discovered from various ...
Quasi-biweekly oscillation in sea level along the western Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study investigates the variability and sources of Quasi-Biweekly (QB) oscillation (10-20 days) in coastal sea level along the western boundary of the Bay of Bengal (BoB) using tide-gauge data and simulations from a ...
Extraterrestrial dust as a source of bioavailable iron contributing to the ocean for driving primary productivity
(Wiley, 2021)
Bioavailable Fe is an essential nutrient for phytoplankton that enables the organisms to flourish and draw down atmospheric CO2 thus affecting global climatic conditions. In marine locales, remote from the continents, ...
Arenibacter amylolyticus sp. nov., an amylase-producing bacterium of the family Flavobacteriaceae isolated from marine water in India
(Microbiology Society, 2021)
A novel Gram-stain-negative, curved rod-shaped, 0.5-0.7 �m wide and 3.0-10.0 �m long, non-motile bacterium, designated strain AK53T, was isolated from a 5 m depth water sample collected from the Bay of Bengal, Visakhapatnam, ...
