Increased CO 2 availability promotes growth of a tropical coastal diatom assemblage (Goa coast, Arabian Sea, India)
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Responses of tropical coastal phytoplankton assemblages to increasing CO2 levels are poorly known. The Arabian Sea (AS), the western part of the north Indian Ocean, is an upwelling-induced, highly productive region, but ...
Cluster analysis of benthic foraminiferal morpho-groups from the western margin of India reflects its depth preference
(Elsevier, 2017)
Q-mode and R-mode cluster analyses have been carried out on the census counts data of 68 genera and one �other genera� of benthic foraminifera from 32 stations off Mangalore-Cochin sector, west coast of India, to study the ...
Regulating gonad inhibition and vitellogenin/vitellin induction in Penaeus monodon using mature GIH fusion protein and polyclonal antisera
(Elsevier, 2017)
Gonad inhibiting hormone (GIH), type II class of the CHH family neuropeptides, is released by the neurohaemal XO-SG complex of the eyestalk. The inhibitory function of GIH has a pivotal role in gonad development and ...
Biodegradation of crude oil using marine Bacillus species from Vadinar coast, Gujarat, India
(Current Science Association, 2017)
The marine environment is open to large sources of toxic organic waste in the form of accidental oil spills. Therefore, it is important to study microbial degradation processes that help reduce the damage caused to the ...
Marine paleoclimatic proxies: A shift from qualitative to quantitative estimation of seawater parameters
(Elsevier, 2017)
Understanding past climate during contrasting boundary conditions can help in assessing imminent climate changes. Marine sediments offer a vast archive of past climate. Various indirect methods called proxies are used to ...
Wave spectral shapes in the coastal waters based on measured data off Karwar on the Western coast of India
(European Geosciences Unio, 2017)
An understanding of the wave spectral shapes is of primary importance for the design of marine facilities. In this paper, the wave spectra collected from January 2011 to December 2015 in the coastal waters of the eastern ...
Macroalgal Functional Genomics: A Missing Area
(Springer International Publishing, Cham, 2017)
Functional genomics may be defined as the study of deciphering the function and regulation of genes for various traits. Functional genomics has made significant advances in decoding functionality of gene(s) and their ...
Understanding heavy mineral dynamics using magnetic fingerprinting technique: A case study of North Maharashtra Coast, India
(Springer, 2017)
Environmental magnetic and grain size measurements were carried out on sand samples collected from nine sand pits along a 20-km coastal stretch of Arnala Beach, North Maharashtra, India. This study sets out to identify the ...
Seasonality in autotrophic mesoplankton in a coastal upwelling-mud bank environment along the southwest coast of India and its ecological implications
(Elsevier, 2017)
Mesoplankton refers to both autotrophic and heterotrophic�plankton�with a body size between 200 � 20,000��m. Here, we applied a FlowCAM to identify the�autotrophs�present in the mesoplankton size class in a�coastal ...
N2 production rates limited by nitrite availability in the Bay of Bengal oxygen minimum zone
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2017)
A third or more of the fixed nitrogen lost from the oceans as N<sub>2</sub> is removed by anaerobic microbial processes in open ocean oxygen minimum zones. These zones have expanded over the past decades, and further ...
