New records of Thecacineta cothurnioides and Trematosoma rotunda (Ciliophora, Suctorea) as epibionts on nematodes from the Indian Ocean
(Not clear, 2009)
This article deals with the report of two suctorian ciliates species viz. Thecacineta cothurnioides Collin, 1909 and Trematosoma rotunda (Allgen, 1952) as epibionts on Tricoma sp. and Pseudochromadora sp. (Nematoda) ...
Macrobenthic standing stock in the nodule areas of Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Regional Research laboratory, Bhubaneswar, 2005)
Diversity, distribution and standing stock of macrofauna in the nodule areas of Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) were studied during April 2003. The density ranged between 22 to 132 no.m super(-2) (mean: 55 + or - 37 SD, ...
Status of windowpane oyster Placuna placenta (Linnaeus) population in Goa
(Society for Marine Archaeology, NIO, 2006)
The ecological status of windowpane oyster Placuna placenta (Linnaeus) has been discussed along with its potential for commercial exploitation in Goa. P. placenta is one of the important constituents of the molluscan ...
Report of epibiont Thecacineta calix (Ciliophora: Suctorea) on deep sea Desmodora (Nematoda) from the Andaman Sea, Indian Ocean
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)
Suctorian epibionts Thecacineta calix attached on the cuticle of nematodes Desmodora sphaerica and D. pontica are reported here from the deep sea hexactinellid sponge Pheronema sp. from the Andaman Sea (Indian Ocean). The ...
Benthic polychaetes as good indicators of anthropogenic impact
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)
Seven stations were sampled within the Mormugao harbour area for benthos and environmental variables from September 2003 to July 2004. A total of 71 polychaete taxa were identified from the area. Polychaete abundance, ...
Composition of macrobenthos from the central Indian Ocean Basin
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2009)
The deep sea is well known for its high faunal diversity. But the current interest in its abundant polymetallic nodules, poses a threat to the little known benthic organisms surviving in this unique environment. The present ...
Recruitment of mud clam Polymesoda erosa (Solander, 1876) in a mangrove habitat of Chorao Island, Goa
(Universidade de São Paulo, Instituto Oceanográfico, 2011)
Habitat-specific settlement success results either from active habitat selection or differential mortality after non-selective settlement. The mud clam Polymesoda erosa (Solander, 1876) is an ecologically and economically ...
Biodiversity of benthic polychaetes from the coastal waters of Paradip, Bay of Bengal
(Annon., 2007)
Polychaete communities of the subtidal waters off Paradip, Orissa, India (Lat, 20 degrees 05 minutes - 20 degrees 20 minutes N and Long. 86 degrees 35 minutes - 86 degrees 60 minutes E) in the Bay of Bengal were studied ...
Benthic fauna around Mauritius island, southwest Indian Ocean
(NISCAIR, New Delhi, 1992)
Distribution of benthic fauna in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Mauritius was studied during September-October 1987. Mean faunal density (macro+meio) and dry weight biomass was 10848 no.m/2 and 228.8 mg.m/2, respectively. ...
Differential Symbiodiniaceae Association With Coral and Coral-Eroding Sponge in a Bleaching Impacted Marginal Coral Reef Environment
(Frontiers, 2021)
Marginal reefs are known for severe stress-inducible perturbations such as high sedimentation, eutrophication, ocean warming, and acidification from anthropogenic climate change. The corals striving in such stressful ...
