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 ...
Benthic dinoflagellate blooms in tropical intertidal rock pools: Elucidation of photoprotection mechanisms
(Springer, 2017)
Intertidal rockpools (RPs), forming a ubiquitous component of rocky shores, are biologically rich ecosystems influenced by short-term (hours-days) and long-term (days-seasons) fluctuating environments. So far, studies on ...
Settlement of non-native Watersipora subtorquata (DeOrbigny, 1852) in artificial collectors deployed in Colombo Port, Sri Lanka
(Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre - REABIC, Helsinki, Finland, 2018)
Sri Lanka has been a key node in the historical maritime �silk route� since the 14th century. Colombo Port, with its strategic location in the Indian Ocean, handles most of the country�s foreign cargo. With increased foreign ...
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 ...
Dinoflagellate planktonic-motile-stage and benthic-cyst assemblages from a monsoon-influenced tropical harbour: Elucidating the role of environmental conditions
(2019)
Dinoflagellates are referred among potential bioinvaders and environmental proxies. Information from tropical regions on the coupling of cyst and motile stages of dinoflagellates characterized by high suspended-load, and ...
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 ...
Phytoplankton communities in marine intertidal rock-pools: Effect of location, geometric shapes and allelopathy
(Springer, 2021)
Biologically rich rock-pools (RPs) are prominent component of rocky intertidal habitat and this study elucidates the factors aAecting the phytoplankton distribution from high-tide (HT), mid-tide (MT) and low-tide (LT) RPs ...
Response of the bacterial metagenome in port environments to changing environmental conditions
(Elsevier, 2021)
Port environments are highly dynamic and hotspots for marine bioinvasion. This study investigated the bacterial diversity at two geographically distant ports (Mangalore-marine port; and Haldia-riverine port) using ...
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 ...
