Interactive effect of elevated pCO<sub>2</sub> and temperature on the larval development of an inter-tidal organism, Balanus amphitrite Darwin (Cirripedia: Thoracica)
(Elsevier, 2015)
The projected increase in the pCO<sub>2</sub> and temperature level by the end of the 21st century, is expected to influence the life cycle of marine invertebrates. Experiments were carried out with an acorn barnacle, ...
Temporal effect on the abundance and diversity of intertidal rocky shore macroalgae
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2017)
A study of the temporal effect on the abundance and diversity of intertidal rocky shore macroalgae re-vealed that there are ~70 species in the intertidal rocky shore of Anjuna (60 species) and Vagator (52 species) in Goa, ...
Barnacles and their significance in biofouling
(Springer, 2012)
Barnacles are dominant components of the rocky intertidal and macrofouling community. Studies related to their taxonomy, life cycle and attachment mechanisms have received considerable attention in view of the economic and ...
Barnacle larval destination: piloting possibilities by bacteria and lectin interaction
(Elsevier, 2003)
Modulation of metamorphosis in barnacles in response to cues of biological origin is established. The bacteria associated with the barnacles also have a role in such modulations. We isolated the bacteria, Pseudomonas ...
Association of bacteria with marine invertebrates: Implications for ballast water management
(International Association for Ecology and Health, 2013)
Bacteria associated with plankton are of importance in marine bioinvasions and the implementation of ship’s ballast water treatment technologies. In this study, epibiotic and endobiotic bacteria associated with zooplankton, ...
Influence of temperature on the starvation threshold of nauplii of barnacle Balanus amphitrite (Cirripedia: Thoracica)
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2000)
An evaluation of starvation threshold of the newly hatched Balanus amphitrite nauplii (instar, II) has been made at three different temperatures (5, 15 and 25°C). Earlier studies on starvation in crustacean larvae demonstrated ...
Diatoms of the microphytobenthic community: Population structure in a tropical intertidal sand flat
(Springer, 2002)
Temporal and spatial variations were investigated in the viable diatom population of the microphytobenthic community from an intertidal sand flat of a tropical environment. The presence of diatoms to a sediment depth of ...
Habitat characteristics mediated partitioning of economically important bivalves in a tropical monsoon-influenced estuary
(Springer, 2020)
Bivalves are benthic organisms inhabiting coastal marine habitats, especially estuarine tidal and mudflats. Due to their high stocking density and rich protein content, they form a major part of the artisanal fishery ...
Survival in the dark: strategies adopted by Tetraselmis indica (Chlorodendrophyceae, Chlorophyta)
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)
The adaptive strategy of Tetraselmis indica to survive darkness was evaluated over a period of 182 days. Resting cells formation and reduction in catabolic activity facilitated dark survival and their rejuvenation. The ...
Picophytoplankton variability: Influence of Rossby wave propagation in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(2019)
The westward propagating Rossby waves and associated currents transport low salinity nutrient-rich
water mass from the Bay of Bengal into the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) during winter
monsoon, and ensuing changes in ...
