Macrobenthic community structure of coastal Arabian Sea during the fall intermonsoon
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
In the Arabian Sea, organic matter produced during the upwelling period reaches the seafloor by the end of the monsoon and during the fall intermonsoon period (FIM) Studies on the benthic community is lacking during this ...
Directionality and spread of shallow water waves along the eastern Arabian Sea
(Copernicus Publications, 2013)
The directional characteristics of shallow water waves are described based on measured data during 2011 at two locations spaced at 350 km along the eastern Arabian Sea. Study shows that, for high swells (significant wave ...
Salinity response to seasonal runoff in a complex estuarine system (Cochin estuary, west coast of India)
(Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2015)
The hydrographic conditions in Cochin estuary are investigated using longitudinal measurements of salinity profiles during a 1-year period. The estuary transformed from salt wedge conditions during the wet season to a ...
Seasonal variability of beach characteristics between Candoliam and Colva coast, Goa, India.
(Centre for Geotechnology, MSU, 2014)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the seasonal impact on beach dynamics and the status of heavy mineral distribution along the study area. Beach profile measurements were made in 7 profiling sites between ...
Dynamics and diversity of phosphate mineralizing bacteria in the coral reefs of Gulf of Mannar
(WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2012)
Phosphatase Producing Bacteria (PPB) and Inorganic Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (IPSB) are important to reef nutrition. These microbes and phosphate concentration play a significant role in the productivity of coral ...
Comparative efficacy of benthic biotic indices in assessing the Ecological Quality Status (EcoQS) of the stressed Ulhas estuary, India
(Elsevier, 2017)
Ecostatus of Ulhas estuary, one of the most polluted estuaries along the industrialized and urbanized northwest coast of India, was evaluated by six widely accepted benthic indices viz. H?(log2), AMBI, M-AMBI, BENTIX, BOPA ...
Ecology and Distribution of Copepods from the Salt Pan Ecosystems of Mumbai, West Coast of India
(SciTechnol, 2013)
Ecology, distribution and diversity of Copepod collected from two salt pans of Mumbai, India, are presented. Copepods, the mai zooplankton components, consisted mainly of Bestiolina similis, Acartia southwelli, Oithona ...
First nodule to first mine-site: Development of deep-sea mineral resources from the Indian Ocean
(Current Science Association, 2010)
Polymetallic nodules found on the deep seafloor (> 4000 m water depth) have been recognized as an alternative source for certain metals, when land deposits get exhausted. Spread over millions of square kilometres on the ...
A rapid two-step bioremediation of the anthraquinone dye, Reactive Blue 4 by a marine-derived fungus
(Springer, 2012)
A rapid two-step technique for bioremediation of the anthraquinone dye, the Reactive Blue 4 (RB4) by a marine-derived fungus is reported here. In the first step, 1,000 mg l sup(−1) of this dye treated with partially purified ...
Phytoplankton size structure in the southern Bay of Bengal modified by the Summer Monsoon Current and associated eddies: Implications on the vertical biogenic flux..
(Elsevier, 2015)
The present study combines field and satellite observations to investigate how hydrographical transformations influence phytoplankton size structure in the southern Bay of Bengal during the peak Southwest Monsoon/Summer ...
