Antibacterial activity of the sponge Ircinia ramosa: Importance of its surface-associated bacteria
(Springer, 2000)
Variations in the antibacterial activity of the sponge Ircinia ramosa were evaluated during two collection periods (January and May) against vicinity fouling bacteria (VFB) and sponge surface-associated bacteria (SAB). The ...
Spatial and temporal distribution of fungi and wood-borers in the coastal tropical waters of Goa, India
(Walter de Gruyter Berlin, 2001)
Marine wood-degrading fungi are believed to contribute to the settlement and growth of wood-borers in the sea. However, little information is available on the association between species of these two groups of organisms. ...
Epibiotic community of the horseshoe crab Tachypleus gigas
(Springer, 2000)
Horseshoe crabs act as moving substrata for simple to complex communities of small marine organisms. Amplexed adult pairs migrate for breeding once every 2 weeks from deep waters towards nearshore waters during highest ...
Gyrineum natator: A potential indicator of imposex along the Indian coast
(Elsevier, 2006)
Imposex related studies have used neogastropods as sentinel organism. In this effort, we elucidate the potential of a mesogastropod, Gyrineum natator, for imposex monitoring on the central west coast of India. Observations ...
Diatom colonization on stainless steel panels in estuarine waters of Goa, west coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2000)
Temporal variations in diatom fouling was investigated at the Dona Paula Bay located at the mouth of the Zuari Estuary, Goa, India. Stainless steel panels admeasuring 15 x 10 cm were exposed to the environment every month ...
Seasonal variations in the fouling diatom community structure from a monsoon influenced tropical estuary
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)
Seasonal variations in the fouling diatom community from a monsoon influenced tropical estuary were investigated. The community composition did not differ significantly between stainless steel and polystyrene substrata due ...
Barnacle larval destination: piloting possibilities by bacteria and lectin interaction
(Elsevier, 2003)
Modulation of metamorphosis in barnacles in response to cues of biological origin is established. The bacteria associated with the barnacles also have a role in such modulations. We isolated the bacteria, Pseudomonas ...
Influence of temperature on the starvation threshold of nauplii of barnacle Balanus amphitrite (Cirripedia: Thoracica)
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2000)
An evaluation of starvation threshold of the newly hatched Balanus amphitrite nauplii (instar, II) has been made at three different temperatures (5, 15 and 25°C). Earlier studies on starvation in crustacean larvae demonstrated ...
Diatoms of the microphytobenthic community: Population structure in a tropical intertidal sand flat
(Springer, 2002)
Temporal and spatial variations were investigated in the viable diatom population of the microphytobenthic community from an intertidal sand flat of a tropical environment. The presence of diatoms to a sediment depth of ...
Role of Diatoms in marine biofouling
(CSMCRI, India, 2006)
Diatoms are one of the early colonisers on surfaces submerged in the photic zone of the environment. Their colonisation on man made structures, termed biofouling, has enormous implications in the marine industry. The ...
