Re-evaluation of ‘paradox of mesozooplankton’ in the eastern Arabian Sea based on ship and satellite observations
(Elsevier, 2010)
In the central and eastern Arabian Sea (EAS), biomass and production of phytoplankton are known to vary spatially and seasonally whereas, biomass of mesozooplankton (MSP) is reported to be constant. This apparent contradiction ...
Optimization of alkaline cellulase production by the marine-derived fungus Chaetomium sp. using agricultural and industrial wastes as substrates
(Walter de Gruyter, 2010)
Alkaline cellulases were screened from 54 fungal isolates obtained from mangrove leaves and mangrove wood litters as endophytes and wood litter fungi, respectively. Only three fungal isolates tested positive for alkaline ...
Ocean wave prediction using numerical and neural network models
(Bentham Open, 2010)
This paper presents an overview of the development of the numerical wave prediction models and recently used neural networks for ocean wave hindcasting and forecasting. The numerical wave models express the physical concepts ...
Seasonal variability in biological carbon biomass standing stocks and production in the surface layers of the Bay of Bengal
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)
As a part of the Bay of Bengal Process Study, several biological characteristics were investigated during summer monsoon (SuM; July-August 2001), fall inter monsoon (FIM, September-August 2002), spring inter monsoon (SpIM; ...
Fungal diversity in oxygen-depleted regions of the Arabian Sea revealed by targeted environmental sequencing combined with cultivation
(Blackwell Publishing, 2010)
In order to study fungal diversity in oxygen minimum zones of the Arabian Sea, we analyzed 1440 cloned small subunit rRNA gene (18S rRNA gene) sequences obtained from environmental samples using three different PCR primer ...
Hydrodynamic changes due to large seabed installations in coastal waters off west coast of India
(Sultan Qaboos Univ., 2010)
Offshore marine environment can very well be utilized for mass storage of liquids which are not harmful to that environment. Improper placement of large tanks on the seabed, to store large quantities of liquids, would ...
Interannual variability of Kelvin wave propagation in the wave guides of the equatorial Indian Ocean, the coastal Bay of Bengal and the southeastern Arabian Sea during 1993-2006
(Elsevier, 2010)
The observed variability of the Kelvin waves and their propagation in the equatorial wave guide of the Indian Ocean and in the coastal wave guides of the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and the southeastern Arabian Sea (AS) on seasonal ...
Image analysis of seafloor photographs for estimation of deep-sea minerals
(Springer, 2010)
Factors such as non-uniform illumination of seafloor photographs and partial burial of polymetallic nodules and crusts under sediments have prevented the development of a fully automatic system for evaluating the distribution ...
New species of Paracalanidae along the west coast of India: Paracalanus arabiensis
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)
A new species of copepod, Paracalanus arabiensis sp. nov. collected from Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, Goa, central west coast of India, is described. It differs from its congeners mainly in the structure of leg 5, with a ...
Distribution of butyltins in waters and sediments of the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, west coast of India
(Springer, 2010)
Butyltins (TBT, DBT, MBT) were measured in water and sediment samples collected from various locations in the Mandovi (ten stations) and Zuari (nine stations) estuaries, Goa, India, during November 2007. The total butyltin ...
