Biofouling Community Structure in a Tropical Estuary of Goa on the West Coast of India
(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 ...
Role of Reporting in Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement of Ballast Water Management
(ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)
The Decision Support System (DSS) for ballast water management in any given port is dependent on the availability of information on ballast water carried by a ship in advance. Collation of information through Ballast Water ...
Ship-mediated Marine Bioinvasions: Need for a Comprehensive Global Action Plan
(ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)
Concern for marine bioinvasion has drawn international attention. The action plans in place to address this issue and those that are being promulgated are in need of a reassessment. A review of invertebrate invasions across ...
Spatio-temporal Variations in Bacterial Abundance with an Emphasis on Fecal Indicator Bacteria and Vibrio spp. in and around Visakhapatnam Port, East Coast of India
(UGM Press, 2020)
The ecological health of port environments, which are dynamic and hotspots of anthropogenic activities, can be analyzed using specific pathogenic bacteria as they provide definite evidence and source of pollution. The ...
An inter-site study of biofouling recruitment on static immersion panels in major ports of South East Asia and India
(ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)
Limited knowledge of native marine biodiversity hinders effective biodiversity management to safeguard South and Southeast Asia�s marine coastal environment against the threat of invasive species transfer through shipping. ...
Ballast Water Risk Assessment: the Indian experience
(ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)
The Ballast Water Risk Assessment serves as a �Decision Support System� for any given port to take appropriate ballast water management actions. Risk assessment involves collation of data from the ballast water reporting ...
Application of Fluorescence in situ hybridization-Flow cytometry (FISH-FCM) technique to detect and quantify Vibrio cholerae population from different geographic regions
(ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)
Rapid and species-specific detection, and quantification of pathogenic bacteria are fundamental for monitoring and assessment of the risk they pose to any ecosystem. The study employed Vibrio cholerae, a human pathogen ...
