Effect of pea crab Pinnotheres vicajii (Chhapgar, 1957) on immunocompetence of bivalve Paphia malabarica (Chemnitz, 1782)
(Elsevier, 2017)The endosymbiont-host relationship between a pea crab and its bivalve host has been studied previously using bivalve�s multi-physiological parameters. The present study is first of its kind that uses hemocyte�s immune ... -
Exposure of Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms to salt water and its implications
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2017)In this article, we discuss the effect of salinity on the viability and decomposition of Eichhornia crassipes plant under normal photoperiod, dark condition and physiological response. Highest concentration of total organic ... -
Seafloor geomorphology and processes on the Western continental margin of India based on multibeam acoustic backscatter data analysis
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)An assessment of the multibeam sonar data of the central Western Continental Margins of India has been carried out to evaluate the seafloor geomorphology and processes by examining the geomorphological attributes e.g., ... -
Textural characteristics and morphosedimentary environment of foreshore zone along Ganpatipule, Maharashtra, India
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)The cross-shore profile and the textural distribution of foreshore sediments of Ganpatipule beach along Maharashtra coast covering two annual cycles are examined. Ganpatipule beach depicts erosion and accretion of the berm, ... -
Global Carbon Cycling on a Heterogeneous Seafloor.
(Elsevier, 2018)Diverse biological communities mediate the transformation, transport, and storage of elements fundamental to life on Earth, including carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. However, global biogeochemical model outcomes can vary by ... -
A review on the distribution of Phylum Phoronida from India with recent observations on Phoronis psammophila
(CSIR, India, 2017)Phoronida is one of the smallest and least familiar phyla. A brief review on the distribution of Phylum Phoronida from India along with current observations on Phoronis psammophila is presented in this article. The aim of ... -
A zona incognita surrounds the secondary nitrite maximum in open-ocean oxygen minimum zones
(Elsevier, 2017)An analytic gap exists between the lower limit of detection of oxygen (O2) by conventional sensors (LOD, ~1 - 3�M O2) and the appearance of NO2- from NO3- reduction (~0.05�M O2), which signifies the secondary nitrite ... -
Seasonal and Interannual Variability in the Barrier Layer of the Bay of Bengal
(Wiley, 2018)An objectively analyzed monthly gridded ocean analysis derived from a combination of satellite and in situ observations is used to describe the seasonal and interannual variability in the barrier layer thickness (BLT) over ... -
Phylogeny and genetic variation within population of Tachypleus gigas (M�ller, 1785)
(Current Science Association, IAS, 2017)Isolated population of Indian horseshoe crabs, Tachy-pleus gigas plays an important role in the ecology of several marine organisms, and is being scrutinized for its abundance and morphology by many researchers. However, ... -
Nature of the Ambient Noise, Site Response, and Orientation of Ocean?Bottom Seismometers (OBSs): Scientific Results of a Passive Seismic Experiment in the Andaman Sea
(Seismological Society of America, 2018)We analyze the nature of the ambient noise and site response for ocean?bottom seismometers (OBSs) deployed in the Andaman region. The probabilistic power spectral densities of the OBSs show that the noise level in the ... -
Iron partitioning during LOHAFEX: Copepod grazing as a major driver for iron recycling in the Southern Ocean
(Elsevier, 2017)The LOHAFEX iron fertilization experiment was conducted for 39days in the closed core of a cyclonic mesoscale eddy located along the Antarctic Polar Front in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean. Mixed layer (ML) ... -
A first look at factors affecting aragonite compensation depth in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2017)Water column measurements suggest shoaling of aragonite saturation depths (ASD) throughout the world oceans, due to increase in greenhouse gas concentration. Past records of aragonite saturation state under different ... -
Modulation of the Ganges-Brahmaputra River Plume by the Indian Ocean Dipole and Eddies Inferred From Satellite Observations
(Wiley, 2017)The Bay of Bengal receives large amounts of freshwater from the Ganga?Brahmaputra (GB) river during the summer monsoon. The resulting upper?ocean freshening influences seasonal rainfall, cyclones, and biological productivity. ... -
