Seasonal abundance, ecology, reproductive biology, and biochemical composition of Mesopodopsis orientalis W.M. Tattersall (Mysidacea) from a tropical estuary (Cochin Backwater) in India
(Koninklijke Brill, 2009)Seasonal abundance, life history, and biochemical composition of Mesopodopsis orientalis were investigated based on samples collected over a period of one year in a tropical estuary, i.e., Cochin backwater. M. orientalis ... -
Abundance of sewage-pollution indicator and human pathogenic bacteria in a tropical estuarine complex
(Springer, 2009)Studies on abundance and types of various pollution indicator bacterial populations from tropical estuaries are rare. This study was aimed to estimate current levels of pollution indicator as well as many groups of human ... -
New records of marine water mites (Acari: Hydrachnidia: Pontarachnidae) from the Pujada Bay (West Pacific Ocean) and the Andaman Sea (Indian Ocean)
(Entomolgical Society Of Serbia, 2009)Water mites of the family Pontarachnidae Koenike have been found in tropical and temperate littoral habitats bordering the Mediterranean Sea, Aral Sea, Caspian Sea, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Red Sea, and Indian Ocean. ... -
Comprehensive analysis for major, minor and trace element contents and Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf isotope ratios in sediment reference materials, JSd-1 and MAG-1
(The Geochemical Society of Japan, 2009)In view of the requirement of a well-characterized and easily available aquatic sediment reference material, a comprehensive analysis comprising of fifty major, minor and trace elements as well as Sr–Nd–Pb–Hf isotopes ... -
Mysids (Crustacea) from the shallow waters off Maharashtra and south Gujarat, India, with description of a new species
(Taylor & Francis, 2009)Taxonomy, ecology and distribution of mysids collected from the coastal waters of Maharashtra and South Gujarat, India, are presented. Fourteen species belonging to seven genera are represented, of which one species, ... -
A comparative study of macrobenthic community from harbours along the central west coast of India
(Springer, 2009)Harbours are heavily stressed coastal habitats characterised by high concentration of contaminant and low diversity of benthic community. The west coast of India harbours most of the major harbours compared to the east ... -
Ocean-atmosphere interactions during cyclone Nargis
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)Cyclone Nargis (Figure 1a) made landfall in Myanmar (formerly Burma) on 2 May 2008 with sustained winds of approximately 210 kilometers per hour, equivalent to a category 3-4 hurricane. In addition, Nargis brought approximately ... -
Indian Ocean circulation and productivity during the last glacial cycle
(Elsevier, 2009)The Indian Ocean is an important part of the global thermohaline circulation system, receiving deep waters sourced from the Southern Ocean and being the location of upwelling and surface-ocean current flow which returns ... -
Morphometry and cell volumes of diatoms from a tropical estuary of India
(NISCAIR, India, 2009)Cell volumes and per cell carbon contents of different diatoms (10 centric, 14 pennate and 1 dinoflagellate) collected from Dona Paula Bay in the central west coast of India have been analyzed. Morphometric information on ... -
Monitoring shoreline environment of Paradip, east coast of India using remote sensing
(Current Science Association, 2009)In the present study, multi-temporal satellite images of Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS1D and IRS P6 - Resourcesat) from 1998 to 2005 is used to monitor the coastal environment of Paradip, east coast of India. The ... -
Miramar (Goa) Beach Management Project: An Oceanographic Evaluation
(IK International, New Delhi, 2009)Miramar beach is a faunal storehouse as 50 macrobenthic species are recorded. About 80% meiobenthic communities and >50% macrobenthic communities inhabit the top 5 cm section of the intertidal zone. As such, mechanical ... -
