Facultative association of Purpura panama with Bunodosoma goanense
(Springer, 2023)
This paper reports observations of an association between a marine snail and a sea anemone, conducted monthly during low spring tide from June 2021 to March 2023. The multifaceted benefits of the association between Purpura ...
Exploring the hidden treasures: Deep-sea bacterial community structure in the Bay of Bengal and their metabolic profile
(Frontiers Media, 2023)
Deep sea bacterial communities demonstrate remarkable adaptability to high-pressure environments coupled with low temperatures which has sparked curiosity about their diversity and exceptional metabolic pathways. Additionally, ...
Distribution, source and potential biological impacts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the core sediments of a networked aquatic system in the northwest coast of India - A special focus on Thane Creek Flamingo Sanctuary (Ramsar site)
(Elsevier, 2024)
Mumbai, one of the most industrialised and inhabited cities in the world, has been confronting an exponential increase in pollution brought about by anthropogenic activities throughout its coastal belt over the years. The ...
Characterization of phytoplankton functional types in the western Bay of Bengal: HPLC- and CHEMTAX-based approach
(Springer, 2024)
This study investigates phytoplankton functional group variations in the western Bay of Bengal (WBoB) during the Spring Intermonsoon. Samples were collected from four cross-shore transects: Mahanadi (MN), Vamsadhara (VD), ...
Intrusion of Arabian Sea high salinity water and monsoon-associated processes modulate planktic foraminiferal abundance and carbon burial in the southwestern Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2024)
The unicellular calcareous planktic foraminifera sequester a significant portion of the carbon dioxide dissolved in the ocean, thus burying the carbon in sediments for millions of years. The global warming and associated ...
Atmospheric deposition of mineral dust and associated nutrients over the Equatorial Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2024)
Aerosols are potential supplier of nutrients to the surface water of oceans and can impact biogeochemical processes particularly in the remote locations. The nutrient data from atmospheric supply is poorly reported from ...
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 ...
Strong climate control on the millennial-scale dust variability and sediment provenances in the Equatorial Indian Ocean inferred from Sr-Nd isotopes
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2024)
High-resolution Sr and Nd isotope compositions along with major and trace element abundances have been analyzed in silicate fraction of sediments core, SSD004-GC03, from the Equatorial Indian Ocean (7.2°N and 77.9°E) at ...
An insight into the prokaryotic diversity from a polymetallic nodule-rich region in the Central Indian Ocean Basin using next generation sequencing approach
(Frontiers Media, 2024)
Deep sea is a vast, dark, and difficult-to-access terrain and is now looked upon as a unique niche harboring diverse microorganism. We used a metataxonomic approach to decipher the microbial diversity present in the water ...
A comprehensive assessment of macro and microplastics from rivers Ganga and Yamuna: Unveiling the seasonal, spatial and risk factors
(Elsevier, 2024)
There have been growing apprehensions and concerns regarding the increasing presence of plastic pollutants in the holiest river of India, the Ganga, and its major tributary, Yamuna. In response to this issue, the current ...
