Fate of MV Wakashio oil spill off Mauritius coast through modelling and remote sensing observations
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study aims at assessing the fate of MV Wakashio oil spill, and the driving forces responsible for possible environmental consequences of polluted coastal region. GNOME simulations were performed, considering various ...
Untangling the effect of organic matter and dissolved oxygen on living benthic foraminifera in the southeastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2021)
We studied the relationship between organic carbon in sediments (%Corg), bottom water dissolved oxygen and living benthic foraminifera in a marginal marine upwelling setting from the southeastern Arabian Sea to develop ...
Differential tolerance capacity of intertidal organisms (sponge and zoanthid) to the environmental stresses: Preliminary findings from a rockpool transplantation experiment
(Springer, 2021)
Marine intertidal organisms face extreme environmental fluctuations due to tidal cycles. To investigate the impact of environmental changes (high salinity, sea surface temperature, and anthropogenic pollution) on the health ...
Influence of low-temperature fluids and post-depositional changes in the siliceous-pelagic sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Springer, 2021)
In this paper, we discuss the possible reasons for the mass disappearance of radiolarians, hiatus in sedimentation, low-temperature alteration of sediments, and formation of palagonite and phillipsites in the Central Indian ...
Reviews and syntheses: Physical and biogeochemical processes associated with upwelling in the Indian Ocean
(Copernicus GmbH, 2021)
The Indian Ocean presents two distinct climate regimes. The north Indian Ocean is dominated by the monsoons, whereas the seasonal reversal is less pronounced in the south. The prevailing wind pattern produces upwelling ...
Quinolizidine Alkaloids from Marine Organisms: A Perspective on Chemical, Bioactivity and Synthesis
(Bentham Science Publisher, 2021)
Marine organisms produce numerous secondary metabolites that exhibit a wide range of biological activities, which have applications in pharmaceutical research. Numerous secondary metabolites have been discovered from various ...
Quasi-biweekly oscillation in sea level along the western Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study investigates the variability and sources of Quasi-Biweekly (QB) oscillation (10-20 days) in coastal sea level along the western boundary of the Bay of Bengal (BoB) using tide-gauge data and simulations from a ...
Molecular Identification and Characterization of Sugar and Peptide Carriers in the Giant Tiger Prawn, Penaeus monodon
(CRC Press, London, 2022)
Individuals of the giant tiger prawn Penaeus monodon were collected at a local shrimp farm in Goa. The expression and the tissue distribution of two transport proteins involved, respectively, in sugar and peptide absorption, ...
Extraterrestrial dust as a source of bioavailable iron contributing to the ocean for driving primary productivity
(Wiley, 2021)
Bioavailable Fe is an essential nutrient for phytoplankton that enables the organisms to flourish and draw down atmospheric CO2 thus affecting global climatic conditions. In marine locales, remote from the continents, ...
Seasonal cycle of zooplankton standing stock inferred from ADCP backscatter measurements in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2022)
We use ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) backscatter, measured during October 2012 to December 2020 at three locations on the continental slope in the eastern Arabian Sea (EAS), to study the seasonal variation in ...
