Time-dependence of salinity in monsoonal estuaries
(Elsevier, 2009)The theories and classification schemes commonly used for understanding estuarine dynamics often refer to a steady state of the estuary in which the salinity field is time-independent. In this state salinity-ingress into ... -
Polychaete diversity and its relevance in the rapid environmental assessment of Mumbai Port
(Current Science Association, 2009)The diversity and spatial patterns of polychaetes, a proven proxy for environmental assessment studies, were studied in 28 stations covering subtidal and intertidal segments as well as bunders and docks of the Mumbai Port. ... -
Impact of offshore placer mining experiments (PLAMEX) on the sediment size and heavy minerals
(Current Science Association, 2009)Two offshore placer mining experiments (PLAMEX) were conducted using submersible pumps specially designed by Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute (CMERI), Durgapur (India) at 8 m water depth in Kalbadevi Bay ... -
A thermostable metal-tolerant laccase with bioremediation potential from a marine-derived fungus
(Springer, 2009)Laccase, an oxidoreductive enzyme, is important in bioremediation. Although marine fungi are potential sources of enzymes for industrial applications, they have been inadequately explored. The fungus MTCC 5159, isolated ... -
Tidal asymmetry in the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries, the West Coast of India
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2009)Harmonic analysis of the observed and simulated tides in the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries along the west coast of India was carried out. Tidal constituents derived from this process were analyzed to study the tidal asymmetry ... -
Stone anchors from Minicoy Island, Lakshadweep, India
(The Nautical Archaeology Society, 2009)Lakshadweep Islands lie on the sea route between South Asia, Far East and African countries. Being on the trade route, boats and ships used the islands of Lakshadweep as a stopover to take on fresh water. Lakshadweep Islands ... -
Reduced near-surface thermal inversions in 2005-06 in the southeastern Arabian Sea (Lakshadweep Sea)
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)Repeat XBT transects made at near-fortnightly intervals in the Lakshadweep Sea (southeastern Arabian Sea) and ocean data assimilation products are examined to describe the year-to-year variability in the observed near-surface ... -
Early oceanic opening off Western India-Pakistan margin: The Gop Basin revisited
(Elsevier, 2009)The Deccan Traps, one of the best known examples of rapid flood basalt, are considered as marking of the inception of a mantle plume on the Indian continental lithosphere. Their emplacement may be associated with the ... -
Intraseasonal response of the northern Indian Ocean coastal waveguide to the Madden-Julian Oscillation
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)A new observational record of upper-ocean currents at 15 degrees N on the western coast of India is dominated by intraseasonal (55-110 day) variations of alongshore currents, whereas sea level at the same location has a ... -
Extract of Indian green mussel, Perna viridis (L.) shows inhibition of blood capillary formation in vitro
(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2009)The extract of the Indian green mussel (Perna viridis L.) was found to inhibit the formation of endothelial cell capillary tube in a concentration dependent manner in vitro. At a concentration of 5 mg/ml of crude extract, ... -
Effect of different extraction procedures on antimicrobial activity of marine bivalves: A comparison
(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2009)Anti-bacterial activity was evaluated in different crude extracts of five commercially important edible marine bivalves, namely Meretrix casta (Chemnitz), Polymesoda (Geloina) P. erosa (Solander), Perna viridis (Linnaeus), ... -
Identification of lysozyme activity from two edible bivalves - Perna viridis (Linnaeus) and Meretrix casta (Chemnitz)
(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2009)Lysozyme activity of two commercially important edible bivalves, namely Perna viridis (Linnaeus) and Meretrix casta (Chemnitz), was analyzed against Micrococcus luteus. The results of this study indicated that the extract, ... -
Screening for the presence of antimicrobial activity in few Indian seaweeds
(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2009)Methanolic extracts of 17 commonly found seaweeds in the west coast of India were screened for the presence of antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas sp., Streptococcus pyrogenes, ... -

Denitrification as the dominant nitrogen loss process in the Arabian Sea
(Nature Publishing Group, 2009)Primary production in over half of the world’s oceans is limited by fixed nitrogen availability. The main loss term from the fixed nitrogen inventory is the production of dinitrogen gas (N sub(2)) by heterotrophic ... -
Coastal structural remains on the east coast of India: Evidence of maritime activities and their significance
(Sharada Publishing House, 2009)Archaeological evidence and literary sources mention that India had several ports and trade centres dating back to the Harappan period onwards. Archaeological explorations and excavations have brought to light a number of ... -
