Beach dynamics of an open coast on the west coast of India
(National Institute of Oceanography, India, 2004)
In order to study the daily beach dynamics at an open beach in Goa, field investigations were carried out on the beach profiles, breaking wave parameters and long-shore currents for one month each during pre-monsoon and ...
Why were historical period ports of Goa located away from the coast? The decline of Gopakapatana
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
Most of the ports of the historical period of the east and west coasts of India were located away from the seafront But in later period, new ports were established mostly along the coastal regions The reasons attributed ...
Temporal variation of diatom benthic propagules in a monsoon-influenced tropical estuary
(Elsevier, 2008)
Temporal variations in the diatom benthic propagule (DBP) community and their role in the phytoplankton community in a monsoon-affected tropical estuary, Zuari estuary, Goa (India) are presented. The DBP from the sediments ...
Penicillin-mediated changes in viable benthic diatom assemblages – insights about the relevance of bacteria across spatial and seasonal scales.
(CSIRO Publishing, 2014)
Penicillin, a beta-lactam antibiotic, cannot affect diatoms directly but does so through bacteria. Its effects on viable benthic diatom assemblages in a tropical environment were evaluated across spatial (intertidal sandflat, ...
Brittle stars (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) from seamounts in the Andaman Sea (Indian Ocean): first account, with descriptions of new species
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2012)
Brittle stars were collected on two seamounts in the Andaman Back-arc Basin. Of the six species, two were new to science and are described herein as Ophioleuce longispinum sp. nov. and Ophiophyllum minimum sp. nov., in the ...
Distribution of putative virulence genes and antimicrobial drug resistance in Vibrio harveyi
(Springer, 2011)
The marine-estuarine bacterium Vibrio harveyi is an important pathogen of invertebrates, most significantly, the larvae of commercially important shrimp Penaeus monodon. In this study, we analyzed V. harveyi isolated from ...
Identification and modeling of internal waves
(National Institute of Oceanography, India, 2007)
Analyses of Internal Wave (IW) signatures by insitu observations off Visakhapatnam have been presented to study the impact of IWs on acoustic field. Temperature data were collected for 44 hours off Visakhapatnam (17° 26.46’N ...
Distribution and abundance of macrobenthic polychaetes along the South Indian coast
(Springer, 2011)
Macrobenthic polychaetes play a significant role in marine benthic food chain. A study was carried out to observe the abundance and diversity of soft bottom macrobenthic polychaetes along the South Indian coast, along with ...
Estimation of tropical cyclone heat potential in the Bay of Bengal and its role in the genesis and intensification of storms
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2006)
In the present study, cyclone heat potential (CHP) in the Bay of Bengal has been estimated for different seasons using Levitus climatology. A good association was noticed between CHP and the efficiency of intensification ...
Real-time reporting and internet-accessible cellular based coastal sea level gauge
(2006)
A real-time sea-level reporting system utilizing exiting cellular communication infrastructure is described. Several issues involved in the implementation of internetaccessible sea-level gauge have been addressed. It is ...
