Assessment of Benthic Meiofauna in Multi-Stressed Environment of a Tropical Estuary: a Case Study Using Low Taxonomic Resolution Data
(Springer, 2024)
The estuary receives varying anthropogenic inputs that significantly influence the benthic biota and suppress ecological health. Thus, multiple parameters (natural and anthropogenic) and meiofaunal community structures ...
Seasonal shift in trophic status induced by bacterial metabolic activity in tropical mangrove-dominated estuaries of Southwest India
(Springer, 2024)
Mangroves are highly productive ecosystems that supply carbon and nutrients to the coastal food web from autochthonous and allochthonous sources. The fluctuations in the quantity of these sources influence bacterial metabolic ...
Evaluation of the proximate composition and antioxidant capacity of some seaweeds from the Konkan coast of India
(Elsevier, 2024)
Minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients that promote health can be found in abundance in seaweeds. In this study, we evaluated the proximate composition and antioxidant capacity of some seaweeds from Konkan coast of ...
Delineating morphological traits of oceanic micro-phytoplankton as potential ecological indicators
(Elsevier, 2024)
The micro-phytoplankton (>20 ?m) adaptations and resilience were assessed using morphological traits (shape, surface-to-volume ratio; S:V, and greatest-axial-linear-dimension; GALD) from sea-surface and different SCML-depths ...
First record of a cold-seep squat lobster Munidopsis lauensis Baba and de Saint Laurent, 1992 (Anomura: Galatheoidea) from Indian waters
(Brazilian Crustacean Society, 2025)
The present study reports the first zoogeographical record of the squat lobster Munidopsis lauensis Baba and de Saint Laurent, 1992 from a cold-seep site in the Krishna-Godavari Basin (Bay of Bengal), Northern Indian Ocean. ...
Recent trends on bioremediation of heavy metals; an insight with reference to the potential of marine microbes
(Springer, 2024)
Heavy metals are essential for the survival of all living organisms in trace amounts. Industrializations and urbanisation are the two major rationale behind the massive rise in the contamination of land and water bodies ...
Biogeochemical cycling of iodine in the Bay of Bengal: A comparison with the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2024)
Iodine is a redox-sensitive element and a potential oxidant for the respiration of organic matter. Here we report the spatial variation of dissolved iodine in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) and compare ...
Preparation and Characterization of Agar Polysaccharide from Red Alga Phycocalidia Vietnamensis (Bangiales)
(Springer, 2024)
In this research, biomass of the red algae Phycocalidia vietnamensis (Bangiales) was investigated for agar production. Agar was prepared by the hot water extraction method with 0, 4, 6, 8, 10% (w/v) NaOH pre-treatments. ...
Seasonal nutrient loadings in four monsoonal micro/meso tidal tropical estuaries, west coast of India,
(Elsevier, 2024)
Nutrient concentrations were studied seasonally along estuarine and fluvial regions of four micro/meso tidal rivers from Karnataka and Maharashtra, west coast of India. This study was performed to assess the pathway of ...
