Vertical migratory rhythms of benthic diatoms in a tropical intertidal sand flat: Influence of irradiance and tides

Mitbavkar, S.; Anil, A.C. (Springer, 2004)

Vertical migratory behavior of benthic diatoms is one of the adaptive strategies employed for a life in intertidal habitats. Irradiance and tides are considered to be the key factors governing vertical migration. Experiments ...

Phytoplankton community structure in relation to environmental factors from the New Mangalore Port waters along the southwest coast of India

Rath, A.R.; Mitbavkar, S.; Anil, A.C. (Springer International Publishing, 2018)

Seasonal and spatial phytoplankton distribution in relation to environmental factors was investigated in New Mangalore Port, a major port along the west coast of India. A well-mixed water column characterized the non-monsoon ...

Influence of bacterial exopolymers and the adult extract of Balanus amphitrite and Cthamalus sp. on cyprid metamorphosis of Balanus amphitrite

Anil, A.C.; Khandeparker, L.; Mitbavkar, S.; Wagh, A.B. (US Office of Naval Research, 1997)

Settlement of barnacle, a major fouling organism is believed to be controlled to a great extent by substratum characteristics such as, presence of conspecific adults or "gregariousness" inducing factors. Exopolymers secreted ...

Influence of environmental settings on the prevalence of Trichodesmium spp. in the Bay of Bengal

Hegde, S.; Anil, A.C.; Patil, J.S.; Mitbavkar, S.; Venkat, K.; Gopalakrishna, V.V. (Inter Research, 2008)

Trichodesmium, an important marine nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria, is widespread in tropical waters and contributes substantially to the global chemical cycles by new production. The interesting and intriguing feature of ...

Effect of ageing on survival of benthic diatom propagules

Anil, A.C.; Mitbavkar, S.; DeSilva, M.S.; Hegde, S.; DeCosta, P.M.; Meher, S.S.; Banerjee, D. (Elsevier, 2007)

A comparison of viable benthic diatom propagules based on the observations recorded immediately and after 5 years of ageing at 5oC is presented. The number of viable benthic diatom propagules decreased with ageing. However, ...

Tiniest primary producers in the marine environment: An appraisal from the context of waters around India

Mitbavkar, S.; Anil, A.C. (Current Science Association, 2011)

Phytoplankton (0.2 mm - 2 mm) are the major primary producers in the marine environment thereby forming a basic link in the marine food web. They are categorized into different groups depending on their size range. Cells ...

Diatoms of the microphytobenthic community in a tropical intertidal sand flat influenced by monsoons: Spatial and temporal variations

Mitbavkar, S.; Anil, A.C. (Springer, 2006)

Seasonal variations in the microphytobenthic diatom community were investigated in an intertidal sand flat of a tropical marine environment influenced by monsoons. Cores of sediments were collected along the beach gradient: ...

Responses of the picophytoplankton community to temperature fronts in the northeastern Arabian Sea during the northeast monsoon

Mitbavkar, S.; Anil, A.C. (Elsevier, 2018)

We investigated the responses of the picophytoplankton (< 3-μm) community to a temperature filament and front through high resolution spatial (~ 1 NM) sampling (November-23 to December-11, 2012) in the northeastern Arabian ...

Synechococcus as an indicator of trophic status in the Cochin backwaters, west coast of India

Rajaneesh, K.M.; Mitbavkar, S.; Anil, A.C.; Sawant, S.S. (Elsevier, 2015)

Eutrophication is a major problem in coastal water bodies. Information about the trophic status of water bodies will enable proper management of coastal ecosystems. In this regard, biological organisms which are sensitive ...

Short term response of plankton community to nutrient enrichment in central eastern Arabian Sea: Elucidation through mesocosm experiments

Anil, A.C.; Desai, D.V.; Khandeparker, L.; Venkat, K.; Mapari, K.E.; Mitbavkar, S.; Patil, J.S.; Sarma, V.V.S.S.; Sawant, S.S. (Elsevier, 2021)

Oligotrophic waters (OW), generally favour longer food chain facilitated by the microbial loop. In such ecosystems, physical mixing (e.g. upwelling, and winter convection) inject nutrients and propagules from subsurface ...
