Habitat heterogeneity and its influence on benthic biodiversity in oxygen minimum zones
(Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2010)
Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs; midwater regions with O sub(2) concentrations <0.5 ml l sup(-1)) are mid-water features that intercept continental margins at bathyal depths (100-1000 m). They are particularly well developed ...
Temporal variability of macrofauna from a disturbed habitat in Zuari estuary, west coast of India
(Springer, 2011)
Natural disturbances along with human interference make the tropical estuaries amongst the most disturbed areas globally. In spite of this, information on the seasonal variability of macrofauna from tropical estuaries is ...
Variation in heavy metals concentration in the edible oyster Crassostrea madrasensis, clam Polymesoda erosa and grey mullet Liza aurata from coastline of India
(Discovery Publication, 2013)
Seven trace metals Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni), Cobalt (Co) and Cadmium (Cd) variation and (or) accumulation in mullet fish L. aurata, edible bivalve oyster C. madrasensis from Gosthany ...
Genotoxic potency of mercuric chloride in gill cells of marine gastropod Planaxis sulcatus using comet assay
(Springer, 2015)
In vivo and in vitro exposures were used to investigate the genotoxicity of mercuric chloride (HgCl<sub>2</sub>) to the marine snail, Planaxis sulcatus. The comet assay protocol was validated on gill cells exposed in vitro ...
First record of the synaptid holothurian Protankyrian protankyra Bidentata (Woodward and Barrett, 1858) from the Indian Ocean
(Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, 2015)
Sea cucumbers (holothurians) are marine invertebrates that are harvested worldwide, mostly for human consumption in Asian countries To date, only eight species of synaptid holothurians of the genus Protankyra have been ...
Deep-sea nematode assemblages from a commercially important polymetallic nodule area in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
The Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) is an important area for prospective mining for polymetallic nodules. However, little is known about the biodiversity or community structure of abyssal benthic assemblages in the area. ...
Life history of a free-living marine nematode Daptonema normandicum reared in laboratory
(Triveni Enterprises, 2011)
Life history of a free-living meiobenthic nematode Daptonema normandicum (DeMan, 1890) was studied in the laboratory. Live specimens were primarily collected from the sewage outlet site near the mouth of the Mandovi estuary, ...
Global patterns and predictions of seafloor biomass using random forests
(Public Library of Science, 2010)
A comprehensive seafloor biomass and abundance database has been constructed from 24 oceanographic institutions worldwide within the Census of Marine Life (CoML) field projects. The machine-learning algorithm, Random ...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and n-Alkanes in beaked sea snake Enhydrina schistose (Daudin, 1803) from the Mandovi Estuary, Goa
(Springer, 2015)
An ecotoxicological study were conducted to evaluate the concentrations of PAHs and n-alkanes, in gut, liver and kidney tissues of two individuals of Enhydrina schistose (Daudin, 1803), using gas chromatography/mass ...
The contribution of deep-sea macrohabitat heterogeneity to global nematode diversity
(Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2010)
The great variety of geological and hydrological conditions in the deep sea generates many different habitats. Some are only recently explored, although their true extent and geographical coverage are still not fully ...
