(Elsevier, 2024)
The Laxmi Basin, which is a deep ocean basin situating adjoining to the northwestern continental margin of India, contains a linear seamount chain consisting of the Raman Seamount, Panikkar Seamount and the Wadia Guyot, ...
Linking genetic lineages of giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii to their global populations
(Springer, 2024)
Globally, the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii is considered as a commercially important aquaculture species. Genetically, this species is differentiated into western, central and eastern populations. ...
Antimicrobial activity of coral-associated beneficial bacteria against coral disease-causing microbial pathogens
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2024)
Microbial infection of immune-compromised corals influences disease severity, resulting in coral mortality. However, coral-associated beneficial bacteria are known to produce antimicrobial compounds that prevent the growth ...
Impact of COVID-19 lockdown on methane related activities in a tropical estuarine mangrove ecosystem
(Springer, 2024)
The COVID-19 pandemic led to an immediate lockdown declared by the government of India (March to April 2020) which saw a decrease in public activities. In view of this, a comparative study was carried out on the influence ...
Unraveling the land-based discharge of microplastics from sewers to oceans - A comprehensive study and risk assessment in wastewaters of Goa, India
(Elsevier, 2024)
Owing to their pervasive dispersion in the environment and their potential ramifications on both marine life and human health, microplastics (MPs) are of increasing concern. However, there is still a lack of research on ...
Spatiotemporal variability in phytoplankton size class modulated by summer monsoon wind forcing in the Central Arabian Sea
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2024)
The Arabian Sea is an area of intense ocean-atmospheric coupling that impacts its physicochemical, and biological processes. During the summer monsoon (June-September), in the central Arabian Sea, a low-level atmospheric ...
Reinterpretation of marine magnetic anomalies in the Bay of Bengal: Implications for plate tectonics during the mid-cretaceous
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2024)
The breakup of India from Antarctica in the Early Cretaceous and subsequent seafloor spreading in the NW-SE direction initiated the formation of the Bay of Bengal and its conjugate Enderby Basin. Two hypotheses are proposed ...
Contrasting patterns in pH variability in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2024)
Continuous understanding of the ongoing ocean acidification (OA) is essential for predicting the future impact of OA on marine ecosystems. Here we report the results of open ocean time-series measurements (19 cruises) of ...
