A first look at factors affecting aragonite compensation depth in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2017)
Water column measurements suggest shoaling of aragonite saturation depths (ASD) throughout the world oceans, due to increase in greenhouse gas concentration. Past records of aragonite saturation state under different ...
Seamounts - characteristics, formation, mineral deposits and biodiversity
(Biblioteca de Geologia (UB-CSIC), 2012)
Seamounts represent crust-mantle activities and are areas of petrological deviations, biodiversity, seismicity and hydrothermal events. An estimated approx. 50 million tons/year of basalts are required to produce seamounts ...
Indian summer monsoon and winter hydrographic variations over past millennia resolved by clay sedimentation
(American Geophysical Union, 2010)
Reconstruction of century-scale Indian monsoon and winter hydrography is made from an AMS-dated core located in the unique region of the southeast Arabian Sea which lies in the pathways of the low salinity Bay of Bengal ...
Naphthalene induced activities on growth, respiratory metabolism and biochemical composition in juveniles of Metapenaeus affinis (H.Milne Edward, 1837)
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)
Toxicity of naphthalene was carried out on Metapenaeus affinis (H. Milne Edward, 1837) to investigate its effects on growth, metabolic index and biochemical constituents. Growth rate in terms of weight gain was 32.13% in ...
A new species of Litarachna Walter, 1925 (Acari: Hydrachnidia) from the West Indian Coast, with a discussion on the diversity of the family Pontarachnidae Koenike, 1910
(Station Biologique de Roscoff, 2012)
Litarachna indica, a new species of the marine water mite family Pontarachnidae (Acari: Hydrachnidia) is described from the tropical West Indian coast. The total number of Pontarachnidae species worldwide tallies exactly ...
Improving modeling of tides on the continental shelf off the west coast of India
(Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2016)
Global tidal solutions are sometimes inaccurate in coastal regions. This is particularly true in some regions of the northern Indian Ocean, which are characterized by wide continental shelves and large tidal ranges. We ...
Interactions between trophic levels in upwelling and non-upwelling regions during summer monsoon
(Elsevier, 2015)
Coastal upwelling is a regular phenomenon occurring along the southwest coast of India during summer monsoon (May–September). We hypothesize that there could be a shift in environmental parameters along with changes in the ...
Evaluation of single and joint effect of metabolites isolated from marine sponges, Fasciospongia cavernosa and Axinella donnani on antimicrobial properties.
(Elsevier, 2014)
The biochemical mechanisms that marine sponges have developed as a chemical defense to protect themselves against micro and subsequent macrobiofouling process might comprise a potential alternative for the preventing attack ...
Modulation of the Ganges-Brahmaputra River Plume by the Indian Ocean Dipole and Eddies Inferred From Satellite Observations
(Wiley, 2017)
The Bay of Bengal receives large amounts of freshwater from the Ganga?Brahmaputra (GB) river during the summer monsoon. The resulting upper?ocean freshening influences seasonal rainfall, cyclones, and biological productivity. ...

(Springer, 2012)
This Special Issue of Biogeochemistry contains a selection of papers presented at the 5th International Symposium on Biological and Environmental Chemistry of DMS(P) and Related Compounds, organized at the National Institute ...
