Preface to Special Section: Shipwrecks
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2019)This is a preface to the the wide coverage of shipwrecks included in the special section of the Vol 117 Issue no 10 of �Current Science�. Leading underwater archaeologists provided the developments in hydro-archaeology in ... -
Observed variability of the East India Coastal Current on the continental slope during 2009-2018
(Springer, 2020)We describe the variability of the East India Coastal Current (EICC) during 2009-2018 using data from ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) moorings deployed on the continental slope in the western Bay of Bengal. The ... -
Sulfidization processes in seasonally hypoxic shelf sediments: A study off the West coast of India
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)Continental shelves are the major sites for organic carbon burial and sulfate reduction. Organic carbon degradation and sulfidization along continental shelves are expected to play a significant role in global carbon-sulfur-iron ... -
Morphological and molecular evidence for first records and range extension of the Japanese seahorse, Hippocampus mohnikei (Bleeker 1853) in a bay-estuarine system of Goa, central west coast of India
(Public Library of Science, 2020)Accurate information of taxonomy and geographic range of seahorse species (genus Hippocampus) is the first step in preparing threat assessments and designing effective conservation measures. Here, we report first records ... -
Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa
(Zhongkai University of Agriculture and Engineering, 2020)This article provides an outline of the classification of the kingdom Fungi (including fossil fungi. i.e. dispersed spores, mycelia, sporophores, mycorrhizas). We treat 19 phyla of fungi. These are Aphelidiomycota, Ascomycota, ... -
Metagenomic 16S rDNA amplicon data of microbial diversity and its predicted metabolic functions in the Southern Ocean (Antarctic)
(2020)Antarctica holds about 70% of all the freshwater on the planet in the form of ice. The seawater, it chills, affect the currents and temperature everywhere. Global warming risks the melting of the icecaps as it has already ... -
Antimicrobial profiling of coral reef and sponge associated bacteria from southeast coast of India
(2020)Culturable bacteria associated with marine sponges and coral mucus (collected from Gulf of Mannar and Palk Bay) were screened for their prospective antimicrobial compounds against 9 bacterial pathogens (Bacillus megaterium, ... -
Response of microplankton size structure to summer stratification, freshwater influx and coastal upwelling in the Southeastern Arabian Sea
(2020)A year-round FlowCAM-based study of micro-plankton (20-200 μm) size structure was conducted in several locations along a cross-shore transect off Kochi in the near-shore waters of the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS; along ... -
Aliasing of the Indian Ocean externally-forced warming spatial pattern by internal climate variability
(2020)Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) models project an inhomogeneous anthropogenic surface warming of the Indian Ocean by the end of the 21st century, with strongest warming in the Arabian Sea and Western equatorial ... -
Phytoplankton chlorophyll-breakdown pathway: Implication in ecosystem assessment
(2020)The chlorophyll-breakdown to pheophorbide is determined by biotic factors such as grazing (via chlorophyllide) or senescence (via pheophytin). So far, much of the information on chlorophyll-breakdown is available from ... -
Influence of hypoxia on phosphorus cycling in Alappuzha mud banks, southwest coast of India
(2020)The southwest coast of India is known to experience two concurrent processes during the southwest monsoon, namely coastal upwelling and mud banks at selected stretches such as that off Alappuzha. The mud bank sediments ... -
Dissolved aluminium cycling in the northern, equatorial and subtropical gyre region of the Indian Ocean
(2020)Dissolved aluminium (hereafter, dAl) concentrations have been determined on 34 full vertical water column profiles, sampled along the two separate GEOTRACES-India transects (GI-01 and GI-06) to understand the biogeochemical ... -
Coherent response of the Indian Monsoon Rainfall to Atlantic Multi-decadal Variability over the last 2000 years
(2020)Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) rainfall has a direct effect on the livelihoods of two billion people in the Indian-subcontinent. Yet, our understanding of the drivers of multi-decadal variability of the ISM is far from being ... -
Macrobenthic diversity and community structure at Cochin Port, an estuarine habitat along the southwest coast of India
(2020)Estuarine habitats are highly dynamic owing to tidal and seasonal changes in physical and chemical properties, which, in turn, have a profound influence on the diversity and community structure of its living components. ... -
Is the benthic index AMBI impervious to seasonality and data transformations while evaluating the ecological status of an anthropized monsoonal estuary?
(2020)Benthic indices are a potential measure of a system's ecological quality status. It is vital for an efficient index to distinguish the anthropogenic effects from the natural stress associated with seasonality, especially ... -
Geochemical heterogeneity along the Vema Fracture Zone, Indian Ocean: Mixing of melts from the Reunion plume and the Central Indian Ridge
(2020)We present here a scenario of magmatic and tectonic processes associated with the interaction between the Reunion mantle plume and the mantle beneath Central Indian Ridge (CIR) at the Vema Trench (VT) along the Vema Fracture ... -
The Role of Salinity in the Southeastern Arabian Sea in Determining Monsoon Onset and Strength
(2020)In this study, we examine the role of freshwater transported from the Bay of Bengal into the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) in determining both the timing of monsoon onset and the strength of the ensuing monsoon. To do ... -
Generation studies on benthic amphipod- Quadrivisio bengalensis, Stebbing (Gammaridae) from the Kochin Estuary, Southwest coast of India
(2020)Quadrivisio bengalensis (Stebbing Records of Indian Museum, 1, 159-161, 1907), a eurythermal (26.5-32.2 �C) and euryhaline (0.10-26.2 psu) tropical species, makes a profound contribution as a fodder organism to the benthic ... -
Observed variability of the West India Coastal Current on the continental slope from 2009-2018
