Changes in the ballast water tank bacterial community during a trans-sea voyage: Elucidation through next generation DNA sequencing
(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
(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. ...
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 ...
Short term response of plankton community to nutrient enrichment in central eastern Arabian Sea: Elucidation through mesocosm experiments
(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 ...
Fatty acids as indicators of sediment organic matter dynamics in a monsoon-influenced tropical estuary
(Elsevier, 2021)
Sedimentary organic matter (OM) composition serves as a biomarker and helps in hindcast analysis of the events in the habitat. The present study was carried out on a monthly basis to evaluate the contribution of different ...
Seasonal cycle of zooplankton standing stock inferred from ADCP backscatter measurements in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2022)
We use ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) backscatter, measured during October 2012 to December 2020 at three locations on the continental slope in the eastern Arabian Sea (EAS), to study the seasonal variation in ...
Habitat characteristics mediated partitioning of economically important bivalves in a tropical monsoon-influenced estuary
(Springer, 2020)
Bivalves are benthic organisms inhabiting coastal marine habitats, especially estuarine tidal and mudflats. Due to their high stocking density and rich protein content, they form a major part of the artisanal fishery ...
