Effect of hydrodynamic cavitation on zooplankton: A tool for disinfection

Sawant, S.S.; Anil, A.C.; Venkat, K.; Gaonkar, C.; Kolwalkar, J.; Khandeparker, L.; Desai, D.V.; Mahulkar, A.V.; Ranade, V.V.; Pandit, A.B. (Elsevier, 2008)

Application of hydrodynamic cavitation for disinfection of water is gaining momentum, as it provides environmentally and economically sound options. In this effort, the effect of cavitating conditions created by differential ...

Biofouling Community Structure in a Tropical Estuary of Goa on the West Coast of India

Desai, D.V.; Venkat, K.; Anil, A.C. (ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)

Biofouling community structure was studied in a tropical monsoon-influenced Mandovi estuary in Goa, west coast of India. Monthly, seasonal and yearly observations on biofouling on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) panels immersed ...

Larval development and metamorphosis in Balanus amphitrite Darwin (Cirripedia; Thoracica): Significance of food concentration, temperature and nucleic acids

Anil, A.C.; Desai, D.V.; Khandeparker, L. (Elsevier, 2001)

The influence of food concentration (Chaetoceros calcitrans at 1 x 10 sup(5) and 2 x 10 sup(5) cells ml sup(-1)) and temperature (20 degrees C and 30 degrees C) on the nucleic acid content of the nauplii and the cyprids ...

Distribution and abundance of benthic macroorganisms in and around Visakhapatnam Harbour on the east coast of India

Musale, A.S.; Desai, D.V.; Sawant, S.S.; Venkat, K.; Anil, A.C. (Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2015)

Benthic communities form an important component of the marine food chain. Their occurrence also provides information on the health of the ecosystem. A study was carried out to understand the distribution and abundance of ...

Difficulties in obtaining representative samples for compliance with the Ballast Water Management Convention

Carney, K.J.; Basurko, O.C.; Pazouki, K.; Marsham, S.; Delany, J.E.; Desai, D.V.; Anil, A.C.; Mesbahi, E. (Elsevier, 2013)

As implementation of the Ballast Water Convention draws nearer a major challenge is the development of protocols which accurately assess compliance with the D-2 Standard. Many factors affect the accuracy of assessment: ...

Comparison of nutritional status of field and laboratory reared Balanus amphitrite Darwin (Cirripedia: Thoracica) larvae and implication of starvation

Desai, D.V.; Anil, A.C. (Elsevier, 2002)

Experiments were carried out to evaluate the influence of rearing temperature and food concentration (20 and 30 degrees C, 1x10 sup(5) and 2x10 sup(5) cells ml sup(-1)) on the starvation threshold and nucleic acid content ...

Identification of Balanus amphitrite larvae from field zooplankton using species-specific primers

Gaonkar, C.C.; Khandeparker, L.; Desai, D.V.; Anil, A.C. (Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2015)

Identification of marine invertebrate larvae using morphological characters is laborious and complicated by phenotypic plasticity. Balanus amphitrite is a dominant barnacle, important in the context of intertidal ecology ...

Potential ballast water transfer of organisms from the west to the east coast of India: Insights through on board sampling

Desai, D.V.; Narale, D.; Khandeparker, L.; Anil, A.C. (Elsevier, 2018)

The possibility of translocation of organisms via ship's ballast water (BW) during a voyage from Hazira on the west coast to Visakhapatnam on the east coast of India was assessed. Samples of BW during the voyage and discharge ...

Changes in the ballast water tank bacterial community during a trans-sea voyage: Elucidation through next generation DNA sequencing

Khandeparker, L.; Kuchi, N.; Desai, D.V.; Anil, A.C. (Academic Press, 2020)

Ballast water (BW) mediated bioinvasion is one of the greatest threats to the health of aquatic ecosystems. Bacteria, unlike higher organisms, are transferred in large numbers through BW. Owing to their abundance and ...

Macrobenthic diversity and community structure at Cochin Port, an estuarine habitat along the southwest coast of India

Velayudham, N.; Desai, D.V.; Anil, A.C. (2020)

Estuarine habitats are highly dynamic owing to tidal and seasonal changes in physical and chemical properties, which, in turn, have a profound influence on the diversity and community structure of its living components. ...
