Seasonal variability of sea-surface temperature fronts associated with large marine ecosystems in the north Indian Ocean
(Springer India, 2019)We use 14 years of satellite-derived sea-surface temperature (SST) data to compute a monthly frontal probability index (FPI) to determine the existence of a front in a pixel. A persistent SST front is deemed to exist if ... -
A new clionaid sponge infests live corals on the west coast of India (Porifera, Demospongiae, Clionaida)
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)Coral reef ecosystems depend on the balanced interplay of constructive and destructive processes and are increasingly threatened by environmental change. In this context bioeroding sponges play a significant role in carbonate ... -
A new species of Grandidierella Coutière, 1904, G. nioensis sp. nov. (Amphipoda, Aoridae), from the east coast of India
(Magnolia Press, Auckland, New Zealand, 2019)A new species of Grandidierella Coutière, 1904, G. nioensis is described from the east coast of India. It is close to G. mahafalensis Coutière, 1904, from Madagascar and G. halophilus Wongkamhaeng, Pholpunthin & Azman, ... -
CO2 fixation and production of biodiesel by Chlorella vulgaris NIOCCV under mixotrophic cultivation
(Elsevier, 2019)In this study, Chlorella vulgaris NIOCCV was cultivated in seafood processing industry wastewater with continuous supply of 5%, 10%, and 20% CO2. The optimum CO2 fixation efficiency (RCO2), biomass productivity, specific ... -
Features of locally and remotely generated surface gravity waves in the inner-shelf region of northwestern Bay of Bengal
(John Wiley & Sons, 2019)In this article, we studied the characteristics of locally and remotely generated wind waves in the inner-shelf region of northwestern Bay of Bengal (BoB) based on the measured wave data. Two well-differentiated wave ... -
Sedimentary sulphate reduction and organic matter mineralization across salinity gradient of the Mandovi Estuary, West coast of India
(Elsevier, 2019)The Mandovi Estuary, located along the tropical west coast of India, transforms from being a freshwater-dominated body during the monsoon season to a tide-dominated system during post-monsoon season, with a salinity gradient ... -
Hydrothermal Energy Transfer and Organic Carbon Production at the Deep Seafloor
(Frontiers, Switzerland, 2019)In just four decades, hundreds of hydrothermal vent fields have been discovered, widely distributed along tectonic plate boundaries on the ocean floor. Vent invertebrate biomass reaching up to tens of kilograms per square ... -
Development of Regional Algorithm to Estimate Suspended Sediment Concentration (SSC) Based on the Remotely Sensed Reflectance and Field Observations for the Hooghly Estuary and West Bengal Coastal Waters
(Springer India, 2019)The present study presents regional algorithm to estimate suspended sediment concentration (SSC) from remote sensing reflectance (Rrs) and field observations for the Hooghly Estuary and coastal waters of West Bengal. The ... -
Differential Protein Expression in Shewanella seohaensis Decolorizing Azo Dyes
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2019)Microbial remediation is an ecologically safe alternative to controlling environmental pollution caused by toxic aromatic compounds including azo dyes. Marine bacteria show excellent potential as agents of bioremediation. ... -
Export fluxes of dissolved inorganic carbon to the northern Indian Ocean from the Indian monsoonal rivers
(European Geosciences Union, 2019)Rivers are an important source of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) to the adjacent coastal waters. In order to examine the spatial variability in the distribution and major sources of DIC in the Indian monsoonal rivers and ... -
Inter-annual variability of phytoplankton assemblage and Tetraspora gelatinosa bloom from anthropogenically affected harbour, Veraval, India
(Springer International Publishing, 2019)Veraval, one of Asia's largest fishing harbours, situated on the south-west coast of Gujarat, India, has transformed into an industrial hub dominated by fish processing units, rayon manufacturing industry, and transportation ... -
Marine organisms as a source of natural matrix for bone tissue engineering
(Elsevier, 2019)It is a huge challenge to develop an effective regenerative approach which can be employed to restore diseased or defective part of the bone to its original anatomical and physiological function. Exploration of rich ... -
Immunoecology of the short neck clam Paphia malabarica (Chemnitz, 1782) in a tropical monsoon-influenced estuary
(Elsevier, 2019)Understanding the variability in organism's immunological response is crucial for predicting changes at population or community level. The present study investigated the immunoecology of a commercially valuable clam Paphia ... -
Sources of laminated sediments in the northeastern Arabian Sea off Pakistan and implications for sediment transport mechanisms during the late Holocene
(SAGE Publications, 2019)Laminated sediments of the continental slope off the Makran coast in the northern Arabian Sea are well-known climate archives and record productivity, as well as supply of material from land. Here, we studied sediment core ... -
Rare, metal micrometeorites from the Indian Ocean
(John Wiley & Sons, 2019)Metal in various forms is common in almost all meteorites but considerably rare among micrometeorites. We report here the discovery of two metal micrometeorites, i.e., (1) an awaruite grain similar to those found in the ... -
Immuno-modulation of settlement cues in the barnacle, Amphibalanus amphitrite: significance of circulating haemocytes
(Springer International Publishing, 2019)Gregarious settlement in barnacles has been attributed to chemical cues originating from the associated microorganisms, lectins, and settlement-inducing protein complex from arthropodin, a glycoprotein present in their ... -
Shewanella submarina sp. nov., a gammaproteobacterium isolated from marine water
(Microbiology Society, 2019)A curved-rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from a marine (100-m depth) water sample collected from Bay of Bengal, Visakhapatnam, India. Strain NIO-S14T, was Gram-stain-negative, motile and pale-yellow. NIO-S14T was able ... -
Numerical Modelling of Bed Shear Stress in OpenFOAM
(Springer, Singapore, 2019)In coastal zones, erosion is the major threat to the livelihood as it leads to the water inundation into the human premises. Sediment transport results in erosions causes morphological changes and also affects the coastal ... -
