Citizen science tools reveal changes in estuarine water quality following demolition of buildings
(MDPI AG, 2021)
Turbidity and water colour are two easily measurable properties used to monitor pollution. Here, we highlight the utility of a low-cost device�3D printed, hand-held Mini Secchi disk (3DMSD) with Forel-Ule (FU) colour scale ...
Influence of oil and gas exploration activities on the macrobenthic community structure of the Krishna-Godavari basin (Ravva coast), Western Bay of Bengal
(Pergamon, 2021)
The influence of oil and gas exploration activities on the macrobenthic community of an offshore oil and gas drilling site was investigated along the Krishna-Godavari basin (KG), Western Bay of Bengal. In the oil well ...
Fe and S-isotope compositions of hydrothermal deposits from Kings Triple Junction, Lau Basin, southwest Pacific Ocean
(Elsevier, 2021)
We analyzed iron and sulfur isotopic compositions of polymetallic sulfides from an extinct hydrothermal mound near the Kings Triple Junction of the northern Lau basin belonging to a back-arc basin for understanding the ...
Macrobenthos community response to the seasonal hypoxia associated with coastal upwelling off Kochi, along the Southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study presents the seasonal macrobenthic assemblages in the nearshore environment off Kochi along the southwest coast of India, which is exposed to the freshwater influx, and coastal upwelling associated seasonal ...
Real Time PCR detection of Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man, 1879) larvae with emphasis to their ecology
(EDP Sciences, 2021)
Species specific identification of early larval stages of many decapod crustaceans sampled from plankton collections remains cumbersome owing to lack of distinguishable characteristics, where DNA based molecular methods ...
Marine Natural Products from Tunicates and their associated microbes
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021)
Marine tunicates are identified as a potential source of marine natural products (MNPs), demonstrating a wide range of biological properties, like antimicrobial and anticancer activities. The symbiotic relationship between ...
Phytoplankton communities in marine intertidal rock-pools: Effect of location, geometric shapes and allelopathy
(Springer, 2021)
Biologically rich rock-pools (RPs) are prominent component of rocky intertidal habitat and this study elucidates the factors aAecting the phytoplankton distribution from high-tide (HT), mid-tide (MT) and low-tide (LT) RPs ...
Sound speed variation in the coastal waters off Cochin and signature of subsurface maxima
(Springer, 2021)
We investigated the vertical and horizontal variation of the sound speed using the Thermodynamic Equation Of Seawater-2010 (TEOS-10) and monthly CTD observations at Cochin estuary and adjacent coastal waters (inlet to 20 ...
Evolution mechanism of contrasting phases of consecutive IOD events from 1994 to 1998
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2021)
The Dipole Mode Index (DMI), an Index used to represent the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), shows a back to back occurrence of positive and negative IOD events during the period 1994 to 1998. The year 1994 was a strong positive ...
Response of the bacterial metagenome in port environments to changing environmental conditions
(Elsevier, 2021)
Port environments are highly dynamic and hotspots for marine bioinvasion. This study investigated the bacterial diversity at two geographically distant ports (Mangalore-marine port; and Haldia-riverine port) using ...
