(Goa College of Engineering, 2010)A brief overview of the recent trends in physical oceanographic instrumentation in which recent developments in electronics technology play a crucial role has been given. The electronic instruments mainly utilized in the ... -
Water quality and bacteriology in an aquaculture facility equipped with a new aeration system
(Springer, 2010)The HOBAS aeration system was tested to compare changes in environmental and bacteriological parameters in ponds growing Penaeus monodon during a single production cycle. The stocking density in the aerated pond was doubled ... -
Chlorine isotopes potential as geo-chemical tracers
(Mumbai: Indian Society for Mass Spectrometry ISMAS), 2008)The potential of chlorine isotopes as tracers of geo-chemical processes of earth and the oceans is highlighted based on systematic studies carried out in understanding the chlorine isotope fractionation mechanism, its ... -
Application of R&D competitiveness and research in coastal engineering in India
(New Delhi: Mc-Graw Hill Education, 2006)The Research and Development (R&D) in any field of application provides simulation or first hand information about the work to be practically undertaken The better development of the work is dependent on how good the outcome ... -
Analysis of offshore jacket platform
(NITK; Surathkal, India, 2010)The estimation of response parameters plays an important role in the design of offshore structure. The periodic inspection and monitoring of offshore platforms for certification needs the study of the responses of structures ... -
Phylogenetic diversity of archaeal 16S rRNA and ammonia monooxygenase genes from tropical estuarine sediments on the central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2010)Phylogenetic diversity analyses of archaeal 16S rRNA and ammonia monooxygenase subunit A (AamoA) genes were carried out on sediment samples from the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, Goa, on the central west coast of India. The ... -
The sponge-associated bacterium Bacillus licheniformis SAB1: A source of antimicrobial compounds
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2010)Several bacterial cultures were isolated from sponge Halichondria sp., collected from the Gujarat coast of the Indo Pacific region. These bacterial cultures were fermented in the laboratory (100 mL) and the culture filtrate ... -
Measurement of DNA strand breaks as a biomarker of genotoxic pollutants
(SSBT's College of Eng. and Technology; India, 2010)This paper deals with the development of a molecular biomarker technique by measurement of DNA integrity in marine organisms for biomonitoring of pollution due to genotoxic compounds. The marine environment is continuously ... -
Application of acteylcholineesterase activity in marine organisms as a biomarker of coastal pollution
(SSBT's College of Eng. and Technology; India, 2010)The marine environment, is continually being polluted by different types of neurotoxic contaminants like organophosphorus, carbamate insecticides, heavy metals and various other neurotoxins from various sources along the ... -
A note on the occurrence of reef inhabiting, red-bellied yellow tail fusilier, Caesio cuning from outside its known geographical array
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)The reef inhabiting fusilier, Caesio cuning, characterized by pinkish abdomen and yellow caudal fin exhibits shoaling behaviour and is known to be geographically distributed from the Gulf of Mannar to the Vanuatu Islands ... -
New species of Paracalanidae along the west coast of India: Paracalanus arabiensis
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)A new species of copepod, Paracalanus arabiensis sp. nov. collected from Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, Goa, central west coast of India, is described. It differs from its congeners mainly in the structure of leg 5, with a ... -
Arsenite tolerance and biotransformation potential in estuarine bacteria
(Springer, 2010)Bacterial isolates from water and sediment samples from freshwater, estuarine and marine regions were tested for their growth in the presence of different concentrations of arsenic. Despite the generation times being longer ... -
Waves in shallow water off west coast of India during the onset of summer monsoon
(European Geosciences Union, 2010)The wave growth characteristics during the onset of summer monsoon in a swell dominated open ocean at a location off the west coast of India at 14m water depth are studied. 67% of the measured waves are due to the swells ... -
