Sources, distribution and preservation of organic matter in a tropical estuary (Godavari, India)
(Springer, 2015)
Major sources and distribution of organic matter (OM) were examined in a tropical monsoonal estuary, the Godavari, using content and isotopic signatures in suspended particulate matter and surface sediments during no-discharge ...
Marine actinobacteria showing phosphate-solubilizing efficiency in Chorao Island, Goa, India
(Springer, 2013)
The occurrence and distribution of an actinobacteria group of bacteria capable of dissolving insoluble phosphates were investigated in this study in marine environments, especially in sediments of Chorao Island, Goa, India. ...
Taluka level environmental sensitivity index (ESI) and vulnerability mapping for oil spills: A pilot study from Goa state, India
(Sultan Qaboos Univ., 2010)
Coastlines are at risk when floating oil slicks reach the shoreline. Oil spill causes major stress on the marine environment. To deal with oil spill problem in the coastal area, Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) maps ...
Bioactive alkaloids from marine sponges
(2016)
Marine sponges are considered to be a rich source of biologically active secondary metabolites with unique and diverse chemical structures. They constitute nearly one third of the secondary metabolites isolated from marine ...
Shift in detrital sedimentation in the eastern Bay of Bengal during the late Quaternary
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2010)
Down-core variations of granulometric, geochemical and mineral magnetism of a 70-cm long sediment core retrieved from the eastern Bay of Bengal abyssal region were studied to understand sedimentation pattern and sediment ...
Variations in particulate matter over Indo-Gangetic Plains and Indo-Himalayan Range during four field campaigns in winter monsoon and summer monsoon: Role of pollution pathways
(Elsevier, 2017)
Both in-situ and space-borne observations reveal an extremely high loading of particulates over the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP), all year around. With a burgeoning population and combustion sources (fossil fuels (FFs) and ...
Changing environmental conditions in recent past — Reading through the study of geochemical characteristics, magnetic parameters and sedimentation rate of mudflats, central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2014)
Geochemical (sediment components, major and trace metals), magnetic related parameters (concentration, mineralogy and grain size) and radionuclide (<sup>210</sup>Pb) analyses were carried out on sediment cores collected ...
Evaluation of antioxidant activities in captive-bred cultured yellow seahorse, Hippocampus kuda (Bleeker, 1852).
(Elsevier, 2014)
Globally, seahorses and other Syngnathid fishes are in great demand as they form an important ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). As a consequence of dwindling supplies from natural sources, TCM traders are ...
Daily variations in pathogenic bacterial populations in a monsoon influenced tropical environment
(Elsevier, 2015)
Changing climatic conditions have influenced the monsoon pattern in recent years. Variations in bacterial population in one such tropical environment were observed everyday over two years and point out intra and inter ...
Trophic efficiency of plankton food webs: Observations from the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Bay, Southeast Coast of India
(Elsevier, 2013)
This paper introduces the structure and trophic efficiency of plankton food webs in the Gulf of Mannar (GoM) and the Palk Bay (PB) - two least studied marine environments located between India and Sri Lanka. The study is ...
