Trace metal dynamics in fishes from the southwest coast of India
(Springer, 2010)
The concentration of Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb in the muscle tissue of marine fishes like Lates calcarifer, Nemipterus japonicus, Caranx melampygus, Rastrelliger kanagurta, and Cyanoglossus macrostomus was estimated ...
Simulation study of acoustic wave propagation in ocean
(Foundation of Computer Science, 2010)
Many reports are available on the sound attenuation and speed in the deep ocean, as a function of different ingredients of sea. The absorption and speed of sound waves are related to the change in sound speed, depth, ...
Nitrogen uptake in the northeastern Arabian Sea during winter cooling
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
The uptake of dissolved inorganic nitrogen by phytoplankton is an important aspect of the nitrogen cycle of oceans. Nitrate (NO sub(3) sup(-) and ammonium (NH sub(4) sup(+) uptake rates in the northeastern Arabian Sea using ...
Measurement of DNA strand breaks as a biomarker of genotoxic pollutants
(SSBT's College of Eng. and Technology; India, 2010)
This paper deals with the development of a molecular biomarker technique by measurement of DNA integrity in marine organisms for biomonitoring of pollution due to genotoxic compounds. The marine environment is continuously ...
Observed intra-seasonal to interannual variability of the upper ocean thermal structure in the southeastern Arabian Sea during 2002-2008
(Elsevier, 2010)
The southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS), located in the Indian Ocean warmpool, is a key-region of the regional climate system. It is suspected to play an important role in the dynamics of the Asian summer monsoon system. The ...
Impact of bottom trawling on sediment characteristics - A study along inshore waters off Veraval coast, India
(Springer, 2010)
The present communication is a study on the impact of bottom trawling on the sediment characteristics along Veraval coast, which is the largest trawler port of India. Experimental bottom trawling was conducted from MFV ...
Indian Ocean margins
(Springer-Verlag, 2010)
The most important biogeochemical transformations and boundary exchanges in the Indian Ocean seem to occur in the northern region, where the processes originating at the land-ocean boundary extend far beyond the continental ...
Differential dissolution of biogenic carbonates: Implications of secretion at higher pH
(The Palaeontological Society of India, 2010)
A selective preferential dissolution of a few initial chambers of several specimens of calcareous planktic foraminifera Globigerinoides rubber has been noted in the surface sediments collected from the eastern Arabian Sea ...
Trace metal dynamics in zooplankton from the Bay of Bengal during summer monsoon
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2010)
Trace metal (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb) concentrations in zooplankton from the mixed layer were investigated at 8 coastal and 20 offshore stations in the western Bay of Bengal during the summer monsoon of 2003. The ...
Marine hypoxia/anoxia as a source of CH4 and N2O
(European Geosciences Union, 2010)
We review here the available information on methane (CH sub(4)) and nitrous oxide (N sub(2)O) from major marine, mostly coastal, oxygen (O sub(2))-deficient zones formed both naturally and as a result of human activities ...
