Global patterns and predictions of seafloor biomass using random forests
(Public Library of Science, 2010)
A comprehensive seafloor biomass and abundance database has been constructed from 24 oceanographic institutions worldwide within the Census of Marine Life (CoML) field projects. The machine-learning algorithm, Random ...
Indian monsoon cycles through the last twelve million years
(The society of Earth Scientists, 2010)
Although Indian monsoon mostly sets on in early June, it often deceives with vagaries of droughts or floods causing hardship to millions in the Indian subcontinent. It varies at the intra-monsoonal scale with 40-50 days ...
Studies on phytoplankton with reference to dinoflagellates
(2010)
This study was carried out to analyze the spatio-temporal variations in phytoplankton communities in the open ocean using the ‘ships of-opportunity’ programme. Considering the limitations of microscopic methods,pigment ...
Inhibitory effect of Indian sponge extracts on bacterial strains and larval settlement of the barnacle, Balanus Amphitrite
(Elsevier, 2010)
The total ban imposed on TBT based antifouling paints, since 2008, has triggered the search for Natural Product Antifoulants (NPAs) as a promising alternative for the development of environmentally benign coatings. In view ...
Influence of anthropogenic activities on the existing environmental conditions of Kandla Creek (Gulf of Kutch)
(Current Science Association, 2010)
Water characteristics of Kandla creek, monitored seasonally from 2002 to 2006 at four locations (mouth, cargo jetty, oil jetty and junction), indicated significant increases in nutrients, petroleum hydrocarbons (PHc) and ...
Arsenite tolerance and biotransformation potential in estuarine bacteria
(Springer, 2010)
Bacterial isolates from water and sediment samples from freshwater, estuarine and marine regions were tested for their growth in the presence of different concentrations of arsenic. Despite the generation times being longer ...
खम्भात की खाड़ी में समुद्री पुरातात्विक खोज

Growth performance of fingerlings of the Indian major carp, Catla catla (Ham.) fed with feeds supplemented with different seaweeds
(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2010)
The growth performance of Indian major carp (Catla catla, Ham.) was assessed over a period of six months through formulated feeds consisting of three seaweeds, namely Chlorodesmis fastigiata, Padina tetrastomatica and ...
Studies on phytoplankton-bacterial interactions
(2010)
Given the sheer range of phytoplankton-bacterial interactions, some intriguing aspects have been addressed in this study. Firstly, the role of bacteria in influencing phytoplankton communities at the system level was ...
Sponge-associated bacteria of Lakshadweep coral reefs, India: resource for extracellular hydrolytic enzymes
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2010)
Sponges (Phylum: Porifera) is one of the major groups in the Lakshadweep coral reefs. These sponges harbor diverse bacteria with metabolic potentiality. From biodiversity to biotechnological prospecting, scientific ...
