Cletocamptus goenchim sp. nov., a new harpacticoid (Copepoda: Harpacticoida) from India
(Biological Society of Washington, 2013)
A new species of harpacticoid copepod, Cletocamptus goenchim sp. nov., was found in the mouth of the Mandovi estuary, Goa, India. This species seems to be the same reported in 1979 from Lake Kolleru (east coast of India) ...
Underwater target positioning with a single acoustic sensor
(International Federation of Automatic Control, 2013)
The availability of reliable underwater positioning systems to localize one or more vehicles simultaneously based on information received on-board a support ship or an autonomous surface vessel is key to the operation of ...
Operational forecast of oil spill trajectory and assessment of impacts on intertidal macrobenthos in the Dahanu region, west coast of India
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2013)
A two-dimensional model has been developed and applied to the hypothetical spills of crude oil in the Dahanu area on the west coast of India. An attempt has also been made to quantify the intertidal macrobenthic biomass ...
Biosynthesis Of Silver Nanoparticles From Marine Seaweed Sargassum Cinereum And Their Antibacterial Activity
(Medknow, 2013)
Seaweed extracts of Sargassum cinereum was used as a reducing agent in the eco-friendly extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles from an aqueous solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3 ). High conversion of silver ions ...
Spatio-temporal variations in biochemical composition, condition index and percentage edibility of the clam, Paphia malabarica (Chemnitz) from estuarine regions of Goa
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2013)
Biochemical compositions, condition index (CI) and percentage edibility (PE) of an estuarine clam, Paphia malabarica, were studied from two estuarine regions of Goa during March 2009 to March 2010. Relationships between ...
Ecology and trophic preference of picoplankton and nanoplankton in the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Bay, southeast coast of India
(Elsevier, 2013)
The Gulf of Mannar (GoM) and the Palk Bay (PB) are two least studied marine environments located between India and Sri Lanka. The environmental and smaller plankton (0.2–20 mu m) data from 30 locations in the GoM and PB ...
UV-absorbing bacteria in coral mucus and their response to simulated temperature elevations
(Springer, 2013)
Reef-building corals encompass various strategies to defend against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Coral mucus contains UV-absorbing compounds and has rich prokaryotic diversity associated with it. In this study, we ...
Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI) sequence conservation and variation patterns in the yellowfin and longtail tunas
(Inderscience, 2013)
Tunas are commercially important fishery worldwide. There are at least 13 species of tuna belonging to three genera, out of which genus Thunnus has maximum eight species. On the basis of their availability, they can be ...
Algoriphagus shivajiensis sp. nov., isolated from Cochin back water, India
(Elsevier, 2013)
Novel orange-pigmented, Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile bacteria, designated strains NIO-S3 sup(T) and NIO-S4, were isolated from a water sample collected from Cochin back waters, Thanneermukkom and Arookutty, Kerala, ...
Simulation of Trajectories of Tar Ball Transport to the Goa Coast
(Springer, 2013)
Arrival of tar balls to the Goa coast during pre- and southwest monsoon seasons has been a regular phenomenon in the past few years. In one such event, we observed tar ball deposits along the Goa coast during August 2010, ...
