First barcodes of Bathynomus kensleyi (Lowry and Dempsey, 2006) and Bathynomus decemspinosus (Shih, 1972) from the Southeast coast of India
(Elsevier, 2020)Due to their large size, bathynomids (Crustacea, Isopoda, Cirolanidae), belonging to the �supergiant group� of isopods, have long been prominent. The distribution of giant isopods from inshore to deep-sea environments has ... -
Role of eddies on controlling total and size-fractionated primary production in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier BV, 2020)In order to examine the role of eddies on total and size-fractionated primary production, two cyclonic (CE), one anticyclonic (ACE) and no-eddy (NE) regions were sampled in the BoB during pre-summer monsoon (June 2019). ... -
Connecting land use-land cover and precipitation with organic matter biogeochemistry in a tropical river-estuary system of western peninsular India
(Academic Press, 2020)Organic matter (OM) composition changed due to land use - land cover (LULC) and hydrology modification, has distinctive linkage towards sustainable environment management in tropical river systems. It is crucial in small ... -
Modelling of Oil-Sediment Aggregates Trajectories Along Gulf of Khambhat, West Coast of India
(Springer, Singapore, 2021)Oil spill accidents on the marine waters impose great threat to the marine organism, humans and economic. Continuous efforts have been made to achieve effective mitigation measures to avoid the damage to the marine ... -
Diseases and pathogens of marine invertebrate corals in Indian reefs
(Academic Press Inc., 2020)Diseases in marine invertebrate corals have been reported worldwide and have been associated with infection by various microbial pathogens that cause massive mortality. Several bacterial species, especially Vibrio species ... -
Potential Impacts of Deep-Sea Mining on Ecosystems
(Oxford University Press, 2020)Deep-sea mining pertains to underwater minerals such as polymetallic nodules, ferromanganese crusts, and hydrothermal sulfides that are considered as alternative sources for metals such as Cu, Ni, Co, Pb, Zn, Cd, Mn, Fe, ... -
Variations in ?13C values of sedimentary organic matter since late Miocene time in the Indus Fan (IODP Site 1457) of the eastern Arabian Sea
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)A 1108.6 m long core was recovered at Site U1457 located on the Indus Fan in the Laxmi Basin of the eastern Arabian Sea during IODP Expedition 355. Shipboard examinations defined five lithologic units (I to V) of the lower ... -
Severe phosphate limitation on nitrogen fixation in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier BV, 2020)Several anticyclonic (ACE) and cyclonic (CE) eddies constitute the circulation in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and are associated with the downwelling and upwelling processes leading to oligotrophic and eutrophic conditions ... -
Occurrence of enhanced herbivory in the microbial food web of a tropical estuary during southwest monsoon
(Elsevier, 2020)Tropical monsoonal estuaries have a significant role in global fishery as they act as rich feeding and breeding grounds for many commercial species. Food web dynamic studies in these coastal ecosystems are mainly focused ... -
Frequency downshifting in wave spectra in coastal zone and its influence on mudbank formation
(MDPI AG, 2020)The evolution of wind waves in coastal zones leads to changes in the shape of the wave spectrum. Along the coast of Kerala, due to the presence of mudbanks during the southwest monsoon, we could observe downshifting of the ... -
Ocean atmospheric processes over Bay of Bengal during two contrasting northeast monsoon onsets
(CSIR-NISCAIR, Newdelhi, 2020)Conditions leading at the beginning of NorthEast Monsoon season on the Bay of Bengal studied using various ocean/ atmosphere parameters such as wind speed, shortwave radiation, sea surface temperature, latent heat flux, ... -
Chemical Ecology Driven Bioprospecting of Marine Sponges
(Wiley, 2020)Sponges (phylum Porifera) are sessile benthic organisms, found in both fresh and saltwater. Marine sponges provide shelter to a great diversity of symbiotic organisms due to their sessile nature and high porosity of body ... -
A checklist of marine sponges (Porifera) of peninsula India
(Magnolia Press, 2020)An inventory of sponges from the shallow subtidal reefs of the west and east coasts of southern India is presented. The specimens offered in this paper were based on in-situ collections unlike the previous records of dry ... -
Sea-Level Rise
(Springer , Singapore, 2020)Key Messages: There is high confidence that the rate of global mean sea level (GMSL) rise has increased. Human-caused climate change has made a substantial contribution to the rise since 1900. The GMSL has risen by 1.7 ... -
Monsoon rainfall and contrasting source rocks influenced sediment composition of peninsular basins along the east coast of India (western Bay of Bengal)
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)The peninsular India is characterized by remarkable variation in lithological composition as well as contrasting rainfall distribution patterns. The erosional and weathering history of these source rocks along with monsoonal ... -
Coral damage by recreational diving activities in a Marine Protected Area of India: Unaccountability leading to 'tragedy of the not so commons'
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)Globally, coral reefs have drastically degraded due to local and global environmental stressors. Concurrently, coral reef tourism is rapidly growing in developing economies, which is one of many anthropogenic stressors ... -
Biogeochemical cycling in the low oxygen marine environments
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)Biogeochemistry is the interdisciplinary science of the composition and cycling of chemicalelements. Nitrogen and oxygen are two elements that are essential for living organisms and the sustenance of life on Earth. While ... -
Passive acoustic metrics to understand shallow water biodiversity off Malvan area in the west coast of India
(NISCAIR, 2020)Underwater soundscape monitoring is an effective method to understand the biodiversity of an ecosystem. In this context, quantitative characterization of shallow water soundscape of the Burnt Island located off Malvan area ... -
Optical characteristics of colored dissolved organic matter during blooms of Trichodesmium in the coastal waters off Goa
(Springer, 2020)Trichodesmium, a marine cyanobacterium, plays a significant role in the global nitrogen cycle due to its nitrogen fixing ability. Large patches of Trichodesmium blooms were observed in the coastal waters, off Goa during ... -
