Fouling diatom community with reference to substratum variability in tropical marine environment
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)
Diatoms are the earliest autotrophic colonizers and are responsible for the major input of energy in the form of reduced carbon to the surfce. However, information regarding the population structure of diatoms in theearly ...
Cell damage and recovery in cryopreserved microphytobenthic diatoms
(Elsevier, 2006)
Two pennate microphytobenthic diatoms, Amphora coffeaeformis (Agardh) Kutzing and Navicula transitans var. derasa f. delicatula Heimdal, were cryopreserved and monitored on thawing to track the mechanical injuries and their ...
Role of conspecific cues and sugars in the settlement of cyprids of the barnacle, Balanus amphitrite
(The Zoological Society of London, 2011)
Gregarious settlement in barnacle is attributed to the settlement-inducing protein complex of cuticular glycoprotein, arthropodin. In this study, we characterized arthropodin protein complex (APC) from crude protein extracts ...
Gut fluorescence analysis of barnacle larvae: An approach to quantify the ingested food
(Elsevier, 2012)
Gut fluorescence analysis can provide a snapshot of ingested food and has been employed in feeding studies of various organisms. In this study we standardized the gut fluorescence method using laboratory-reared barnacle ...
A new species of portunid crab of the genus Charybdis (De Haan, 1833) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura) from Goa, India
(Taylor & Francis, 2010)
A new species of portunid crab, Charybdis (Charybdis) goaensis sp. nov. is described from Goa, west coast of India. It differs from its closest congener, Charybdis (Charybdis) philippinensis in possessing bluntly triangular ...
Immuno-modulation of settlement cues in the barnacle, Amphibalanus amphitrite: significance of circulating haemocytes
(Springer International Publishing, 2019)
Gregarious settlement in barnacles has been attributed to chemical cues originating from the associated microorganisms, lectins, and settlement-inducing protein complex from arthropodin, a glycoprotein present in their ...
Long-term preservation of Tetraselmis indica (Chlorodendrophyceae, Chlorophyta) for flow cytometric analysis: Influence of fixative and storage temperature
(Elsevier, 2017)
Immediate enumeration of phytoplankton is seldom possible. Therefore, fixation and subsequent storage are required for delayed analysis. This study investigated the influence of glutaraldehyde (GA) concentrations (0.25%, ...
Quantification of diatoms in biofilms: Standardisation of methods
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
Benthic diatoms, which often dominate marine biofilms are mostly pennate along with a few centric species that have an attached mode of life. Even though the range of diatoms in biofilms is diverse, their ecology is poorly ...
What do barnacle larvae feed on ? Implications in biofouling ecology
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)
Barnacles are one of the dominant macrofouling organisms found in the intertidal region throughout the world. Among the different species of barnacles Balanus amphitrite (= Amphibalanus amphitrite) is a favoured candidate ...
Biofouling and barnacle adhesion data for fouling-release coatings subjected to static immersion at seven marine sites
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)
Little is known about the performance of fouling release coatings at different geographical locations. An investigation was designed to measure the differences in biofouling and biofouling adhesion strength on three known ...
