Sea-Level Rise
(Springer , Singapore, 2020)
Key Messages: There is high confidence that the rate of global mean sea level (GMSL) rise has increased. Human-caused climate change has made a substantial contribution to the rise since 1900. The GMSL has risen by 1.7 ...
Passive acoustic metrics to understand shallow water biodiversity off Malvan area in the west coast of India
(NISCAIR, 2020)
Underwater soundscape monitoring is an effective method to understand the biodiversity of an ecosystem. In this context, quantitative characterization of shallow water soundscape of the Burnt Island located off Malvan area ...
Microbial Ecosystem and Anthropogenic Impacts
(Springer, Singapore, 2020)
Oceans are the most vulnerable sites for anthropogenic waste from domestic as well as industrial origin. Usually, marine ecosystems are exposed to most anthropogenic stressors ranging from sewage disposal to nuclear waste ...
Influence of eddies on phytoplankton composition in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Several cyclonic (CE) and anticyclonic (ACE) eddies form in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and they expect to contain different proportion of nutrients due to divergence and convergence of waters respectively and may have impact ...
Comparative assessment of antioxidant potential of different body parts of the yellow seahorse, Hippocampus kuda (Bleeker, 1852): source of traditional medicine
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2020)
Antioxidant potential of different body parts such as seahorse internal organs (SIO), skin with bones (SSB), bones (SB) and muscle tissues (SM) of cultured yellow seahorse, Hippocampus kuda was assessed in terms of total ...
Bioconversion of chitin and concomitant production of chitinase and N-acetylglucosamine by novel Achromobacter xylosoxidans isolated from shrimp waste disposal area
(Nature Research, 2020)
Marine pollution is a significant issue in recent decades, with the increase in industries and their waste harming the environment and ecosystems. Notably, the rise in shellfish industries contributes to tons of shellfish ...
Characterizing three shallow-water locations off Goa, India, using passive acoustic data
(Acoustical Society of America (ASA), 2020)
In this study, an analysis of the passive acoustic data is carried out for the quantitative characterization of shallow-water acoustic environments from three major estuarine systems of Goa during the months of March and ...
A roadmap to IndOOS-2: Better observations of the rapidly-warming Indian Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)
The Indian Ocean Observing System (IndOOS), established in 2006, is a multinational network of sustained oceanic measurements that underpin understanding and forecasting of weather and climate for the Indian Ocean region ...
Autonomous profiling float observations reveal the dynamics of deep biomass distributions in the denitrifying oxygen minimum zone of the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
Data from 13 autonomous profiling BGC-Argo floats, equipped with biogeochemical and bio-optical sensors deployed between 2011 and 2016, were used to explore the potential of bio-optical methods to map deep biomass distribution ...
Preliminary study on the response of marine fungoid protists, the thraustochytrids, to lipid extracts of diatoms
(Springer, 2020)
Thraustochytrids are particle-associated protists, ubiquitous in the marine environment. They are known to display a negative relationship with phytoplankton cells but a positive one with their exudates and detritus. ...
