The linear equations of motion are solved to obtain dispersion diagrams with Rayleigh friction (??u) and Laplacian friction (??xxu), the latter being solved numerically. Laplacian friction is more efficient at eliminating ...

Cold seeps are unique ecosystems characterized by the presence of endemic communities reliant on microorganisms that survive through chemosynthesis, utilizing sulfide, methane, hydrocarbons, and other reduced compounds. ...

Sediment traps are widely used to get insight into how particulate matter forms and settles in the water column. Earlier studies in the Northern Indian Ocean have shown that the sinking flux depends mainly on surface primary ...

Zooplankton are key ecological components of the marine food web. Currently, laboratory-based methods of zoo-plankton identification are manual, time-consuming, prone to human error and require expert taxonomists. Therefore, ...

Benthic predatory catfishes are voracious and opportunistic predators and can easily shift their diet according to the availability of prey. In this study, feeding ecology of catfishes from two adjacent habitats of an ...
