Marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning: A perspective
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2003)
Biodiversity and community structure are now recognized to be important determinants of ecosystem functioning. In this regard the marine ecosystem has been studied to a much lesser extent compared to the terrestrial. This ...
The impact of food type, temperature and starvation on larval development of Balanus amphitrite Darwin (Cirripedia: Thoracica)
(Elsevier, 2004)
The impact of diatom food species (Chaetoceros calcitrans and Skeletonema costatum), temperature and starvation on the larval development of Balanus amphitrite was evaluated. Starvation threshold levels for different ages ...
Cell damage and recovery in cryopreserved microphytobenthic diatoms
(Elsevier, 2006)
Two pennate microphytobenthic diatoms, Amphora coffeaeformis (Agardh) Kutzing and Navicula transitans var. derasa f. delicatula Heimdal, were cryopreserved and monitored on thawing to track the mechanical injuries and their ...
Quantification of diatoms in biofilms: Standardisation of methods
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
Benthic diatoms, which often dominate marine biofilms are mostly pennate along with a few centric species that have an attached mode of life. Even though the range of diatoms in biofilms is diverse, their ecology is poorly ...
Biofouling and barnacle adhesion data for fouling-release coatings subjected to static immersion at seven marine sites
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)
Little is known about the performance of fouling release coatings at different geographical locations. An investigation was designed to measure the differences in biofouling and biofouling adhesion strength on three known ...
Butyltins in the sediments of Kochi and Mumbai harbours, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2006)
Surface sediment samples were collected from various locations in the Mumbai and Kochi harbours, west coast of India, to assess the presence of butyltin compounds. Tributyltin (TBT) and dibutyltin (DBT) varied from 16 to ...
Dinoflagellates in a mesotrophic, tropical environment influenced by monsoon
(Elsevier, 2008)
The changes in dinoflagellate community structure in both e the water column and sediment in a mesotrophic, tropical port environment were investigated in this study. Since the South West Monsoon (SWM) is the main source ...
Species interactions within a fouling diatom community: Roles of nutrients, initial inoculum and competitive strategies
(Taylor & Francis, 2007)
Diatoms constitute an important component of the fouling community. Although a lot of work has dealt with the fouling diatom community structure, work on the species interactions within the community is still meager. In ...
A perspective of marine bioinvasion
(TERI Press, India, 2006)
Bioinvasions are generally taken note of only when their impacts are felt. The impacts directly experienced by the society can be economical (loss of fishery or water as a resource) and human health related (for example, ...
Influence of diatom exopolymers and biofilms on metamorphosis in the barnacle Balanus amphitrite
(Inter Research, 2005)
Natural biofilms constitute a complex network of microorganisms (bacteria, diatoms, protozoa, fungi) and their extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which influence settlement inbenthic invertebrates. The influence of ...
