Acetylcholinesterase activity in marine gastropods as biomarker of neurotoxic contaminants
(Mudrakar and Institute of Ecotoxicology and Environmental Sciences, 2011)
The acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity was measured in three different species of marine gastropods namely Cronia contracta, Morula granulata and Planaxis sulcatus collected from selected stations (Arambol, Anjuna, Dona ...
Prevalence of skeletal tissue growth anomalies in a scleractinian coral: Turbinaria mesenterina of Malvan Marine Sanctuary, eastern Arabian Sea
(Inter Research, 2016)
Skeletal tissue growth anomalies (STAs) of corals are capable of causing considerable degradation of reef health. This study is the first report of growth anomalies in Turbinaria corals and the first descriptive study of ...
GIS analysis for the marine environmental data off Karnataka coast
(Elsevier, 2006)
Geographic Information System (GIS) is used to develop the Oceanographic Information System (OIS) for marine environmental data off Karnataka coast. Its goal is to provide a set of tools for oceanographic and bathymetry ...
A simple estimation of equatorial Pacific response from windstress to untangle Indian Ocean dipole and basin influences on El Nino
(Springer, 2016)
Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies that develop in spring in the central Pacific are crucial to the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) development. Here we use a linear, continuously stratified, ocean model, and its ...
Use of a chiA probe for detection of chitinase genes in bacteria from the Chesapeake Bay
(FEMS, 2000)
PCR primers specific for the chiA gene were designed by alignment and selection of highly conserved regions of chiA sequences from Serratia marcescens, Alteromonas sp., Bacillus circulans and Aeromonas caviae. These primers ...
Hypoxia in the changing marine environment
(IOP Publishing, 2013)
The predicted future of the global marine environment, as a combined result of forcing due to climate change (e.g. warming and acidification) and other anthropogenic perturbation (e.g. eutrophication), presents a challenge ...
Quantitative analyses of denitrifying bacterial diversity from a seasonally hypoxic monsoon governed tropical coastal region
(Elsevier, 2018)
Microbial community mediated denitrification leads to nitrate reduction and, its eventual removal from marine ecosystems. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the functional diversity in terms of the abundance and types ...
Phylogenetic characterization of culturable bacteria and fungi associated with tarballs from Betul beach, Goa, India
(Elsevier, 2018)
Tarballs are semisolid blobs of crude oil, normally formed due to weathering of crude-oil in the sea after any kind of oil spills. Microorganisms are believed to thrive on hydrocarbon-rich tarballs and possibly assist in ...
Characteristics and genesis of phillipsite grains in a sediment core from the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(2018)
Present study is the phillipsite grains present in a siliceous sediment core (water depth 5100 m) recovered near a seamount from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB). Phillipsite occurs as single grains, cruciform crystals ...
Measurement and modeling of bed shear stress under solitary waves
(Elsevier, 2011)
Direct measurements of bed shear stresses (using a shear cell apparatus) generated by non-breaking solitary waves are presented. The measurements were carried out over a smooth bed in laminar and transitional flow regimes ...
