Abundance and Ecology of Endemic Asterorotalia trispinosa from the Western Bay of Bengal: Implications for its Application as a Paleomonsoon Proxy
(Wiley, 2017)
A total of 97 surface sediment samples were collected from the continental shelf and slope of the western Bay of Bengal to assess the potential application of Asterorotalia trispinosa as a paleomonsoon proxy. The relative ...
Antagonistic interactions of sponge-associated Actinobacteria against heterotrophic bacteria from sponge and ambient water
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2017)
In the present study, 11 sponge-associated Actinobac-teria showed 316 inhibitory interactions against 75 heterotrophic bacteria as each Actinobacteria inhibit-ed the growth of >1 bacterial isolates from the sponge and ...
An island chain lost in the Bay of Bengal
(Current Science Association, 2017)
Spatial distribution of dinoflagellates from the tropical coastal waters of the South Andaman, India: Implications for coastal pollution monitoring
(Elsevier, 2017)
Dinoflagellate community structure from two semi-enclosed areas along the South Andaman region, India, was investigated to assess the anthropogenic impact on coastal water quality. At the densely inhabited Port Blair Bay, ...
Evaluation of the impact of bioaccumulation of PAH from the marine environment on DNA integrity and oxidative stress in marine rock oyster (Saccostrea cucullata) along the Arabian sea coast
(Springer, 2017)
Marine pollution due to oil spills is of great concern globally for their impact on the health of marine ecosystems. We assessed the genotoxic effects and oxidative stress due to genotoxic pollutants accumulated from the ...
Modelling photosynthetic rates of Indian red mangroves (Rhizophora mucronata Poir.) to climatic factors
(International Society for Tropical Ecology, 2017)
The paper offers models for simulating photosynthesis as a function of empirical variables, such as radiation, temperature, CO2 concentrations, water content in the atmosphere, vapour pressure deficit and relative humidity ...
Variation of Bacterial Metabolic Rates and Organic Matter in the Monsoon-Affected Tropical Estuary (Godavari, India)
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Bacteria play a central role in the oxidation of organic matter. In tropical estuaries, bacterial metabolic rates and carbon modification are regulated by physicochemical changes influenced by the annual monsoon-mediated ...
Assessment of distribution characteristics of polymetallic nodules and their implications on deep-sea mining
(Springer, 2017)
This chapter looks at the distribution characteristics of nodules and associated seafloor features so as to provide this information to the industry for designing a suitable mining system. Further, it also looks at different ...
Modelling size-fractionated primary production in the Atlantic Ocean from remote sensing
(Elsevier, 2017)
Marine primary production influences the transfer of carbon dioxide between the ocean and atmosphere, and the availability of energy for the pelagic food web. Both the rate and the fate of organic carbon from primary ...
70 kyr record of denitrification and oxygenation changes in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Geochemical Society of Japan, 2017)
A 70 kyr record of ?15N from the eastern Arabian Sea, Core AAS9/21 was investigated. High ?15N values during interglacials and low ?15N values during glacials are documented, which mimics the global ?15N records in the ...
