Evolving trends in biosciences: Multi-purpose proteins - GFP and GFP-like proteins
(Current Science Association, 2009)
The sea is considered as holding a clue to many known and unknown biologically active compounds. A family of protein named Green Fluorescent Proteins (GFP)-like proteins, initially isolated from marine organisms, started ...
Macrobenthic communities of the coastal waters of Dabhol, west coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2002)
Macrobenthic community of a shallow subtidal (5-20 m) muddy deposit off Dabhol was investigated. Sediment comprised mainly of silt and clay with less of sand. Dominance of clayey-silt fraction reflects on active flocculation ...
Monitoring effects of simulated disturbance at INDEX site: Current status and future activities
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, 2003)
During the Indian Deep-Sea Environment Experiment (INDEX), greater than 6000 cu.m of sediment was resuspended 5 m above seafloor. Data collected from deep-towed photography, sediment traps, sediment coring and CTD operations ...
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 ...
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 ...
The life cycle of the free-living marine nematode Innocuonema tentabunda De Man 1890
(Istituto per la Protezione delle Piante - Sez. di BARI, 2009)
The free-living marine nematode Innocuonema tentabunda was collected from the mangrove sediment of a mud-flat at Chorao Island, Goa, India, and reared in the laboratory to investigate its life cycle at 27 plus or minus 2 ...
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 ...
Environmental influences on the trawl catches in a bay-estuarine system of Goa, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2003)
The degree of relationship between trawl catch and environmental variables was assessed in a bay-estuarine system of Goa, west coast of India using multivariate techniques. The demersal fish assemblage was dominated by the ...
