Temporal variability of macrofauna from a disturbed habitat in Zuari estuary, west coast of India
(Springer, 2011)
Natural disturbances along with human interference make the tropical estuaries amongst the most disturbed areas globally. In spite of this, information on the seasonal variability of macrofauna from tropical estuaries is ...
Variation in heavy metals concentration in the edible oyster Crassostrea madrasensis, clam Polymesoda erosa and grey mullet Liza aurata from coastline of India
(Discovery Publication, 2013)
Seven trace metals Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni), Cobalt (Co) and Cadmium (Cd) variation and (or) accumulation in mullet fish L. aurata, edible bivalve oyster C. madrasensis from Gosthany ...
Genotoxic potency of mercuric chloride in gill cells of marine gastropod Planaxis sulcatus using comet assay
(Springer, 2015)
In vivo and in vitro exposures were used to investigate the genotoxicity of mercuric chloride (HgCl<sub>2</sub>) to the marine snail, Planaxis sulcatus. The comet assay protocol was validated on gill cells exposed in vitro ...
Macrobenthic community structure response to coastal hypoxia off Southeastern Arabian sea
(Omics, 2016)
The analysis of changes in macrobenthic community using multivariate statistical techniques has been applied to find the structure by the environmental condition. The aim of the study was to evaluate macrofaunal community ...
First record of the synaptid holothurian Protankyrian protankyra Bidentata (Woodward and Barrett, 1858) from the Indian Ocean
(Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, 2015)
Sea cucumbers (holothurians) are marine invertebrates that are harvested worldwide, mostly for human consumption in Asian countries To date, only eight species of synaptid holothurians of the genus Protankyra have been ...
Deep-sea nematode assemblages from a commercially important polymetallic nodule area in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
The Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) is an important area for prospective mining for polymetallic nodules. However, little is known about the biodiversity or community structure of abyssal benthic assemblages in the area. ...
Glutathione S-transferase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and lipid peroxidation as a biomarkers of oxidative stress in snails: A review
(University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, 2016)
Antioxidant defense plays a crucial role in the response of an organism to pollutants. Several processes stimulate the production of free radicals or deplete the antioxidant defense, which if not regulated properly, may ...
An integrated approach to study the biomarker responses in marine gastropod Nerita chamaeleon environmentally exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(ISJ, 2017)
Ecological risk assessment using multiple biomarkers produce a large amount of data that is hard to interpret and the result are often contradictory. In this context, Integrated Biomarker Response (IBR) index was used to ...
Life history of a free-living marine nematode Daptonema normandicum reared in laboratory
(Triveni Enterprises, 2011)
Life history of a free-living meiobenthic nematode Daptonema normandicum (DeMan, 1890) was studied in the laboratory. Live specimens were primarily collected from the sewage outlet site near the mouth of the Mandovi estuary, ...
Global patterns and predictions of seafloor biomass using random forests
(Public Library of Science, 2010)
A comprehensive seafloor biomass and abundance database has been constructed from 24 oceanographic institutions worldwide within the Census of Marine Life (CoML) field projects. The machine-learning algorithm, Random ...
