Seasonal variation in Beta-glucosidase-producing culturable bacterial diversity in a monsoon-influenced tropical estuary
(2019)The episodic monsoon condition in a tropical estuarine environment inputs high allochthonous materials that are rich in carbohydrates and are mainly broken down by enzymatic hydrolysis thus alter both organic matter and ... -
Environmental Factors for Design and Operation of Deep-Sea Mining System: Based on Case Studies
(2019)This chapter brings together environmental factors that are expected to influence the design and operation of deep-sea mining system for polymetallic nodules. The study analyzes possible effects of various environmental ... -
Snapshot of environmental condition in different tropical estuarine systems by using S. cucullata (an edible oyster) as bio-indicator
(2019)Accumulation of toxic metals and indigenous bacteria in oyster, (Saccostrea cucullata) and their impact on antioxidant enzyme activities in the biological system was studied and used to provide snapshot of environmental ... -
Extinction of Antimicrobial Resistant Pathogens Using Silver Embedded Silica Nanoparticles and an Efflux Pump Blocker
(2019)Control measures against antimicrobial resistant bacterial pathogens are important challenges in our daily life. In this study, we discuss the sensitivity and resistance of four bacterial pathogens, Vibrio alginolyticus, ... -
Processes controlling arsenic enrichment along the eastern Arabian Sea surficial sediments
(2019)The processes enriching redox-sensitive arsenic (As) was investigated in 111 surficial sediments (27-3679�m water depth) overlain by varying levels of dissolved oxygen along the eastern Arabian Sea. Under oxygenated ... -
Isotopic fingerprinting of fluid circulation at the terminal stage of the Himalayan orogeny: An example from the Himalayan forearc basin, Indus Tsangpo suture zone, Ladakh, India
(2019)Quartz and calcite veins are omnipresent in the Indus basin sedimentary rocks (IBSRs) of the Indus Tsangpo suture zone (ITSZ) which were formed by the accumulation of sediments derived from both sides of the tectonic plate. ... -
Colonies of marine cyanobacteria Trichodesmium interact with associated bacteria to acquire iron from dust
(2019)Iron (Fe) bioavailability limits phytoplankton growth in vast ocean regions. Iron-rich dust uplifted from deserts is transported in the atmosphere and deposited on the ocean surface. However, this dust is a poor source of ... -
Report of epibiont ciliates (Cilliophora: Suctorea) on pelagic ostracods (Crustacea: Ostracoda) from the Arabian Sea
(2019)The article deals with the report of 5 suctorians viz. Lecanophryella satyanandani (Santhakumari, 1986), Paracineta karunakarani Santhakumari, 1986, Ephelota gemmipara (Hertwig, 1876), Acineta foetida Maupas, 1881 and ... -
Indonesian throughflow controlled the westward extent of the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool during glacial-interglacial intervals
(2019)The tropical atmospheric circulation is strongly influenced by the sea surface temperature (SST) of the warmest region of the world ocean, the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (IPWP). The effect of recent anomalous Indian Ocean ... -
sFDvent: A global trait database for deep-sea hydrothermal-vent fauna
(2019)Traits are increasingly being used to quantify global biodiversity patterns, with trait databases growing in size and number, across diverse taxa. Despite growing interest in a trait?based approach to the biodiversity of ... -
Last 35,000-year water column temperature and productivity variation in the Eastern Arabian Sea: monsoon and global climate connection
(2019)A radiocarbon-dated sediment core from the flat top of Wadia Guyot at a 1500-m water depth in the Eastern Arabian Sea (EAS), western margin of India, preserves the records of past changes in water column temperatures and ... -
Macrobenthic fauna with special reference to the ecology and population structure of a tubicolous amphipod, Chelicorophium madrasensis (Nayar, 1950) in a tropical estuary, southwest coast of India
(2019)The ecology and population structure of the corophid amphipod Chelicorophium madrasensis (Nayar, 1950) was studied for 1�year in the Cochin estuary (CE), a tropical monsoonal estuary along the southwest coast of India. The ... -
Shipwrecks in the off shore waters of the Indian peninsula-a review
(2019)Marine archaeological investigations in the Indian waters have made steady progress during the last four decades, spearheaded by the marine archaeology centre of the CSIR-NIO, Dona Paula, Goa. Wooden and steel hulled ... -
Review of Mining Rates, Environmental Impacts, Metal Values, and Investments for Polymetallic Nodule Mining
(2019)This chapter reviews different mining rates for polymetallic nodules and evaluates the ensuing environmental impacts as well as metal production with respect to land reserves, metal prices, and projected investments. It ... -
Dynamics and succession of plankton communities with changing nutrient levels in tropical culture ponds of whiteleg shrimp
(2019)Optimal water quality is a prerequisite for the economic and environmental sustainability of shrimp aquaculture. The dynamics and succession of phytoplankton and microzooplankton assemblages and their interrelationship ... -
Variability of the local wave regime and the wave-induced sediment transport along the Ganpatipule coast, eastern Arabian Sea
(2019)For planning coastal protection measures, information on nearshore waves and the wave-induced sediment transport rates are required. This study examines wave-induced longshore sediment transport (LST) rate considering three ... -
Oil pollution in the Eastern Arabian Sea from invisible sources: A multi-technique approach
(2019)The Eastern Arabian Sea (EAS) is affected by oil pollution, as often evidenced by the presence of tarballs along the West Coast of India (WCI). Tarball samples collected during May 2017 along the Goa coast were subject to ... -
