Rise of the dormant: Simulated disturbance improves culturable abundance, diversity, and functions of deep-sea bacteria of Central Indian Ocean Basin

LokaBharathi, P.A.; Nair, S. (Taylor and Francis, 2005)

The abundance of baroduric bacteria from nine sediment cores (0-10 cm below sea floor) was examined for their response to simulated benthic disturbance in the Central Indian basin (CIB). While the total counts of bacteria ...

Benthic fauna of southwest and southeast coasts of India

Devi, K.S.; Sheba, P.; Balasubramanian, T.; Venugopal, P.; Sankaranarayanan, V.N. (Asian Fisheries Society, Indian Branch, Mangalore (India), 1999)

Benthos, sediments characteristics and organic matter content were studied along southwest and southeast coasts of India. Number of groups/species varied with the stations and also with the depths. Population density was ...

Holocene benthonic foraminifera from the shelf sediments of Kerala coast

Setty, M.G.A.P. (Indian Society of Earth Scientists, 1974)

Of the 32 species of benthic foraminifera recovered here some show definite Indo-Pacific affinity. Ecological parameters which govern this offshore region are considered. Several species show similarities with those found ...

Response of infaunal macrobenthos to the sediment granulometry in a tropical continental margine southwest coast of India

Jayaraj, K.A.; Sheeba, P.; Jacob, J.; Revichandran, C.; Arun, P.K.; Praseeda, K.S.; Nisha, P.A.; Rasheed, K.A. (Elsevier, 2008)

Surficial sediment samples, collected from the continental margin of the southwest coast of India in July 2004, were examined for the grain size and soft-bottom macrobenthic fauna, to understand the sediment granulometry ...

Biostratigraphic analysis of the top layer of sediment cores from the reference and test sites of the INDEX area

Gupta, S.M. (Taylor and Francis, 2000)

Radiolarian fossil study in the sediment cores collected during the pre- and postdisturbance cruises of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Indian Ocean Experiment (INDEX) program of deep sea mining in the Central ...

Monitoring effects of simulated disturbance at INDEX site: Current status and future activities

Sharma, R.; Nath, B.N.; Valsangkar, A.B.; Khadge, N.H.; Parthiban, G.; Sankar, S.J.; Ansari, Z.A.; Ingole, B.S.; Raghukumar, C.; LokaBharathi, P.A.; Matondkar, S.G.P.; RameshBabu, V.; Murty, V.S.N.; Babu, M.T.; Sardar, A.A. (International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, 2003)

During the Indian Deep-Sea Environment Experiment (INDEX), greater than 6000 cu.m of sediment was resuspended 5 m above seafloor. Data collected from deep-towed photography, sediment traps, sediment coring and CTD operations ...
