Abundance, viability and culturability of Antarctic bacteria
(Department of Ocean Development, New Delhi, India, 1999)
The viability of total number of bacteria decide the mineralisation rate in any ecosystem and ultimately the fertility of the region. This study aims at establishing the extent of viability in the standing stock of the ...
Bothid larvae (Pleuronectiformes-Pisces) of the Indian Ocean
(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, 1999)
The larvae of bothids were found to be sparsely distributed in the Indian Ocean, being only 7.6% in IIOE collections (1960-65) and 13.5% in FORV Sagar Sampada (1986-90) samples. They were confined mostly to the coastal ...
Tectonics of the Bay of Bengal: New insights from satellite-gravity and ship-borne geophysical data
(Elsevier, 1999)
Recently released satellite-derived free air gravity anomalies and the existing ship-board geophysical data provide new insights into the tectonics of the Bay of Bengal with respect to the structure and regional extension ...
Concentration of metals in shrimps and crabs from Thane-Bassein creek system, Maharashtra
(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, 1999)
Levels of Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb and Ni in shrimps and crabs from Thane-Bassein creek system, Maharashtra, India were evaluated for a period of one year and reported as baseline for future monitoring of this vital ecosystem. The ...
Australian minitektites discovered in the Indian Ocean
(Meteoritical Society, Fayetteville, USA, 1999)
Large area sampling with a box core in the Indian Ocean has led to the discovery of minitektites (> 1-3.75 mm long) and a tektite fragment (approx 1.25 mm) occuring with microtektites belonging to the Australasian tektite ...
New occurrence of Youngest Toba Tuff in abyssal sediments of the Central Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 1999)
Volcanic glass and pumice found in siliceous abyssal sediments of the Central Indian Basin, south of the Equator, have previously been assigned various origins including intra-basin volcanism, Indonesian arc, and Krakatau. ...
Paleocene on-spreading-axis hotspot volcanism along the Ninetyeast Ridge: An interaction between the Kerguelen hotspot and the Wharton spreading center
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, India, 1999)
Investigations of three plausible tectonic settings of the Kerguelen hotspot relative to the Wharton spreading center evoke the on-spreading-axis hotspot volcanism of Paleocene (60-54 Ma) age along the Ninetyeast Ridge. ...
Marine pollution - What are we heading for?
(Indian National Science Academy, New Delhi (India), 1999)
Unlike the open ocean, the coastal zone is the most affected and vulnerable to human abuse with several nearshore areas including well-flushed regions and enclosed and semi-enclosed seas getting increasingly polluted. This ...
Concentration of metals in fishes from Thane and Bassein creeks of Bombay, India
(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, 1999)
Concentration of Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb and Ni in different tissues of 10 species of fishes from Thane and Bassein creeks were estimated for a period of 15 months. The trend in bioaccumulation indicated that irrespective of species ...
60 Myr records of major elements and Pb-Nd isotopes from hydrogenous ferromanganese crusts: Reconstruction of seawater paleochemistry
(Pergamon, 1999)
The time series of major element geochemical and Pb- and Ni-isotopic composition obtained for seven hydrogenous ferromanganese crusts from the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans which cover the last 60 Myr are compared. ...
