Population characteristics of the mangrove clam Polymesoda (geloina) erosa (solander, 1786) in the Chorao mangrove, Goa
(Indian Council of Agricultural Research; Old Goa; India, 2002)
Mangroves are the tropical and sub tropical coastal and/or estuarine intertidal or island plant communities. Since the early history of mankind, mangrove ecosystems have played important role in the socio-economic development ...
Coral damage by recreational diving activities in a Marine Protected Area of India: Unaccountability leading to 'tragedy of the not so commons'
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Globally, coral reefs have drastically degraded due to local and global environmental stressors. Concurrently, coral reef tourism is rapidly growing in developing economies, which is one of many anthropogenic stressors ...
Acoustic characterization of seafloor habitats on the western continental shelf of India
(Oxford University Press, 2007)
This is a study of the interaction effects of the dual frequency (210 and 33 kHz) backscatter signal with seafloor sediment and benthic biota along a transect in water 27–83 m deep offshore of the Goa region of India’s ...
Coastal ecosystem and environmental aspects of placer mining
(Allied, India, 2004)
The world demand for mineral raw material is expected to increase more than threefold with the increase in population and the industrilization. Though, India's mineral resources generally appear to be sufficient to meet ...
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 ...

(National Inst. of Oceanography (CSIR); India, 2009)
Testing the efficiency of temperate benthic biotic indices in assessing the ecological status of a tropical ecosystem
(Elsevier, 2016)
The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the ecological status of tropical coastal waters using the temperate benthic indices and examine the effect of seasonal variability on the performance of benthic indices. ...
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 ...
Macrofaunal diversity in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Anon, 2007)
The deep-sea is characterized by four stable physical variables: hydrostatic pressure, temperature, salinity and oxygen. This harsh environment is comprised of diverse benthic faunal groups. Presently these organisms are ...
