The community structure of the deep-sea nematode community associated with polymetallic nodules in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(2019)
Technological advances have led to an increase in the number of investigations in the deep sea over the last two decades. However, despite a large number of scientific cruises, few published data on the nematode biodiversity ...
Effects of benzo(k)fluoranthene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon on DNA damage, lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress in marine gastropod Morula granulata
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Benzo(k)fluoranthene [B(k)F] is one of the widespread priority pollutants of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that has been scarcely studied for exposure assessment. With studies reporting a high amount B(k)F in sediments ...
Biological responses to disturbance from simulated deep-sea polymetallic nodule mining
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
Commercial-scale mining for polymetallic nodules could have a major impact on the deep-sea environment, but the effects of these mining activities on deep-sea ecosystems are very poorly known. The first commercial test ...
Trait-based and taxonomic macrofauna community patterns in the upwelling ecosystem of the southeastern Arabian sea
(Elsevier, 2021)
Coastal upwelling that occurs in the eastern Arabian Sea (EAS) drive the complex dynamics of the food chain. Macrofauna plays a key role in the functioning of coastal ecosystems, but few studies explored the taxonomic and ...
Reef on the edge: Resilience failure of marginal patch coral reefs in Eastern Arabian Sea under recurrent coral bleaching, coral diseases, and local stressors
(Springer, 2023)
Marked by strong El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) effects during 2014-2016, global coral reefs underwent mass bleaching.Here, we conducted a comprehensive (2014-2019) study, coinciding with the 2014-16 ENSO, to investigate ...
Application of remotely sensed sea surface temperature for assessment of recurrent coral bleaching (2014-2019) impact on a marginal coral ecosystem
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
The 2014-2016 El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) caused a prolonged marine heatwave that led to widespread coral bleaching and mortality across the Indo-pacific coral reefs.Prediction of coral bleaching and assessment of ...
Records of Sea Slug Fauna (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) from the shores of Goa, Eastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2022)
Heterobranch sea slugs are a group of often vibrantly coloured, shell-less, and soft-bodied molluscs which are also indicators of climate change and a source of natural products.The information on sea slug diversity and ...
Preliminary observations on the coral reef communities in Angria Bank, an isolated carbonate bank in the Northern Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2023)
Submerged carbonate banks are of significant geological and biological importance and relatively little is known about the biodiversity of these deeper and less accessible habitats. This study provides pilot information ...
