Is there an effect of Bay of Bengal salinity on the northern Indian Ocean climatological rainfall?
(2019)
The northern Bay of Bengal (BoB) receives a large amount of freshwater directly from monsoonal rains over the ocean, and indirectly through river runoffs. It has been proposed that the resulting strong salinity stratification ...
Neuroendocrine and immunotoxicity of polyaromatic hydrocarbon, chrysene in crustacean post larvae
(2019)
Polyaromatic hydrocarbons are a group of chemical pollutants which cause a significant threat to the living organisms in estuaries and marine ecosystems. We report the effect of chrysene, a major PAH pollutant found in ...
New and primary production in the western Indian Ocean during fall monsoon
(2019)
To examine the spatial variability and controlling factors of new, regenerated and primary productions, 21 stations were studied during fall monsoon period in the western Indian Ocean under Indian-GEOTRACES program. The ...
Gregarious true- colonies of ciliate Vorticella oceanica on a chain forming diatom Chaetoceros coarctatus: indicating change in the nature of association
(2019)
Eco-commensal association between the chain forming planktonic diatom Chaetoceros coarctatus and the peritrich aloricate ciliate Vorticella oceanica is well known in tropical waters. This epibiosis provides several advantages ...
Weight-length relationship, morphometric and meristic characters of the yellow seahorse Hippocampus kuda Bleeker, 1852 (Syngnathiformes: Syngnathidae) from central west coast of India
(2019)
Eighteen morphometric and five meristic characters of the yellow seahorse Hippocampus kuda Bleeker, 1852 inhabiting the coastal waters of Ratnagiri, central west coast of India, were studied. Morphometric/numerical analysis ...
New records of epibiont Thecacineta calix (Ciliophora: Suctorea) from the Caspian Sea and Angriya Bank, Arabian Sea
(2019)
The suctorian Thecacineta calix is reported from an abandoned exploration well of northern Caspian Sea and from Angriya Bank, India, Arabian Sea, as epibiont on halacarid mites and nematodes, respectively. This is the first ...
Genetic variation of reef-building polychaete Sabellaria chandraae in the south-eastern Arabian Sea based on mitochondrial COI gene
(2019)
The honeycomb worm Sabellaria chandraae is the most common reef-building polychaete in the intertidal area along the south-eastern Arabian Sea. We used the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) gene to examine ...
Fucoxanthin and pheophytin-a from the marine algae Sargassum cinereum: Isolation, characterization and their feeding deterrent activity on Shrimps
(Indian Chemical Society, 2019)
Chemical investigation of the brown alga Sargassum cinereum collected from Goa coast, India led to the isolation of two bioactive pigments viz. pheophytin-a and fucoxanthin in a relatively good concentration. These pigments ...
Seawater intrusion and resuspension of surface sediment control mercury (Hg) distribution and its bioavailability in water column of a monsoonal estuarine system
(Elsevier, 2019)
There is limited knowledge regarding seawater intrusion on Hg distribution in monsoon fed tropical estuarine systems during dry season (February to May). This study examined the influence of resuspension of estuarine ...
