Bleaching and secondary threats on the corals of Palk Bay: A survey and Proactive conservation needs
(NISCAIR (CSIR), 2012)A survey on bleaching and the secondary threats on bleached corals in the selected sites of Palk-Bay were conducted during May and June 2010. Massive corals represented by the genera Porites, Goniopora, Favia were bleached ... -
Estimation of mean grain size of seafloor sediments using neural network
(Springer, 2012)The feasibility of an artificial neural network based approach is investigated to estimate the values of mean grain size of seafloor sediments using four dominant echo features, extracted from acoustic backscatter data. ... -
Nearshore currents along the Karnataka coast, west coast of India
(Multi-Science Publishing, 2012)Measured current data at 7 locations and tide data at 3 locations during the pre-summer monsoon period along the west coast of India is used in the study. The surface currents during March showed a predominant northward ... -
Return period estimates of extreme sea level along the east coast of India from numerical simulations
(Springer, 2012)Estimates of return periods of extreme sea level events along the coast are useful for impact assessment. A vertically integrated 2D model was developed for the simulation of storm surges in the Bay of Bengal. The bathymetry ... -
Role of environmental heterogeneity in structuring the macrobenthic community in a tropical sandy beach, west coast of India
(Springer, 2012)In most ecosystems, community structure emerges as a result of the complex interaction between biotic and environmental variables. Sandy beaches connected to adjacent ecosystem like estuaries/creeks provide an opportunity ... -
Dispersal and sink pathways of suspended particulate matter from the orographically enhanced SWM regime of the SE Arabian Sea
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)suspended particulate matter; precipitation Abstract :The magnitude of precipitation plays an important role in the yield and supply of terrigenous matter into the sea through fluvial supply. The influence of climate ... -
Barnacles and their significance in biofouling
(Springer, 2012)Barnacles are dominant components of the rocky intertidal and macrofouling community. Studies related to their taxonomy, life cycle and attachment mechanisms have received considerable attention in view of the economic and ... -
Recruitment potential of a green alga Ulva flexuosa Wolfen dark preserved zoospore and its development
(Public Library of Science, 2012)The recruitment potential and the ability of Ulva flexuosa Wulfen zoospores to survive darkness were tested under different conditions. The dark preserved zoospore was cultured under a two-factor experimental design to ... -
Reduced river discharge intensifies phytoplankton bloom in Godavari estuary, India
(Elsevier, 2012)Changes in river discharge alter material load and the consequent estuarine and coastal biogeochemical process. Evidence for biogeochemical response to variable rainfall over catchment area or changes in river discharges ... -
Autonomous profiling device to monitor remote water bodies
(Current Science Association, 2012)In tropical climates, most freshwater reservoirs, dams and lakes are prone to annual summer stratification during which bottom water layers near the bed become hypoxic (<2 ml/l) with very low concentrations of dissolved ... -
Intra-seasonal oscillations associated with Indian Ocean warm pool and summer monsoon rainfall and their inter-annual variability
(Springer, 2012)Sea surface temperature (SST) and wind speed (WS) derived from Multichannel Scanning Microwave Radiometer (MSMR), onboard IRS-P4 (Oceansat-1) satellite were used to generate spatially averaged (80 degrees to 100 degrees E ... -
A study of the sewn-plank boats of Goa, India
(Blackwell, 2012)The study of traditional boats has enhanced our knowledge of the maritime past. Traditional boats are both river- and sea-worthy. They have been used in rivers for transporting cargo to inland ports from ships anchored at ... -
Carbon dioxide emissions from Indian monsoonal estuaries
(American Geophysical Union, 2012)Estuaries are known to be strong source for atmospheric CO sub(2), however, little information is available from Indian estuaries. In order to quantify CO sub(2) emissions from the Indian estuaries, samples were collected ... -
Remotely sensed chlorophyll: A putative trophic link for explaining variability in Indian oil sardine stocks
(Coastal Education & Research Foundation, 2012)The landing of Indian oil sardines, Sardinella longiceps Valenciennes, 1847, along the southwest coast of India is highly variable. A few physical parameters and processes correlated with sardine landing could not establish ... -
Dynamics and diversity of phosphate mineralizing bacteria in the coral reefs of Gulf of Mannar
(WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2012)Phosphatase Producing Bacteria (PPB) and Inorganic Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (IPSB) are important to reef nutrition. These microbes and phosphate concentration play a significant role in the productivity of coral ... -
Echinicola shivajiensis sp. nov., a novel bacterium of the family "Cyclobacteriaceae" isolated from brackish water pond
(Springer, 2012)Strain AK12 sup(T), an orange pigmented Gramnegative, rod shaped, non-motile bacterium, was isolated fromamud sample collected froma brackishwater pond at Rampur of West Bengal, India. The strain was positive for oxidase, ... -
Numerical simulations of barnacle larval dispersion coupled with field observations on larval abundance, settlement and recruitment in a tropical monsoon influenced coastal marine environment
(Elsevier, 2012)Observations were carried out to monitor the larval abundance, settlement and recruitment of barnacles on a regular basis for a period of two years. The results were then compared with the numerical modelling studies carried ... -
Characterization and Ecophysiological Observations on Coastal Sand Dune Vegetation from Goa, Central West Coast, India
(University of Pune, 2011)Coastal Sand Dune flora (CSD) forms a specialized group of plants commonly referred as psammophytes. Goa has limited natural resources including beaches and sand dunes. The state is globally known for its tourism activities, ... -
Potential of marine-derived fungi and their enzymes in bioremediation of industrial pollutants
