Sources and implications of particulate organic matter from a small tropical river-Zuari River, India
(Springer Verlag, 2020)
Transitional ecosystems, estuaries and the coastal seas, are distinctively affected by natural and anthropogenic factors. Organic matter (OM) originating from terrestrial sources is exported by rivers and forms a key ...
Nearshore Waves and Littoral Drift Along a Micro-Tidal Wave-Dominated Coast Having Comparable Wind-Sea and Swell Energy
(2020)
The nearshore wave characteristics and variations in littoral drift (longshore sediment transport; LST) are estimated based on different approaches for four years along the Vengurla coast, with comparable wind-sea and swell ...
Characterization of coral associated ciliates and their interactions with disease lesion progression of Indian Scleractinian corals
(Elsevier, 2020)
Ciliates associated with advanced diseased lesions of Acropora sp. and Porites sp. in the field were isolated and characterised using microscopic and molecular analysis. The identified dominant coral-associated ciliates ...
Microplastics in seafood as an emerging threat to marine environment: A case study in Goa, West coast of India
(Elsevier BV, 2021)
The present study exhibits the occurrence of MPs in different matrices (water, sediment and biota) from the Sal estuary, Goa, situated on the central west coast of India. The average numbers of MPs in the water column and ...
Observed variability of the East India Coastal Current on the continental slope during 2009-2018
(Springer, 2020)
We describe the variability of the East India Coastal Current (EICC) during 2009-2018 using data from ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) moorings deployed on the continental slope in the western Bay of Bengal. The ...
Phylogenetic Diversity of Culturable Marine Bacteria from Mangrove Sediments of Goa, India: a Potential Source of Xylanases Belonging to Glycosyl Hydrolase Family 10
(Pleiades Publishing Ltd, 2020)
Xylan is one of the most abundant polysaccharides present in softwoods and hardwoods. Microbial xylanases mainly mediate its degradation. Xylanase has biotechnological potential with enormous demand in industries. The ...
Sulfidization processes in seasonally hypoxic shelf sediments: A study off the West coast of India
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Continental shelves are the major sites for organic carbon burial and sulfate reduction. Organic carbon degradation and sulfidization along continental shelves are expected to play a significant role in global carbon-sulfur-iron ...
The Significance of Denitrification in the Nitrogen Cycle
(Cambridge Scholars Publishing, New castle, UK, 2020)
Nitrogen fluxes from marine systems to the atmosphere are between 25x10 9 and 179x10 9 kilograms per year and from terrestrial systems, between 90x10 9 and 243x10 9 kilograms per year via microbial denitrification. ...
Research opportunities in pandemic lockdown
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2020)
The entire world is facing an unprecedented crisis today due to the spread of COVID-19. The most severely affected countries enforced a complete lockdown to minimize personal contacts, with only bare minimum, essential ...
Morphological and molecular evidence for first records and range extension of the Japanese seahorse, Hippocampus mohnikei (Bleeker 1853) in a bay-estuarine system of Goa, central west coast of India
(Public Library of Science, 2020)
Accurate information of taxonomy and geographic range of seahorse species (genus Hippocampus) is the first step in preparing threat assessments and designing effective conservation measures. Here, we report first records ...
