Report of suctorian ciliates (Ciliophora, Suctorea) as epibionts on meiobenthic nematodes in an oxygen minimum zone of the Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean
(Magnolia Press, 2022)Three suctorian ciliate species, Paracineta livadiana (Mereschkowsky, 1881), Loricophrya bosporica Sergeeva & Dovgal, 2014 and Acinetopsis lynni Baldrighi et al., 2020 are found as epibionts on meiobenthic nematodes in an ... -
Comparative account on phytoplankton functional community dynamics in the Alappuzha mud bank region (southwest coast of India) by HPLC-CHEMTAX and microscopy approaches
(Elsevier, 2022)Phytoplankton community composition and its temporal dynamics were evaluated in the Alappuzha near shore waters (<15 m depth), including mud bank region, located along the southwest coast of India, using HPLC-derived marker ... -
Simulated ocean acidification altered community composition and growth of a coastal phytoplankton assemblage (South West coast of India, eastern Arabian Sea)
(Springer, 2022)Marine phytoplankton can be highly sensitive to ocean acidification; however, their responses are diverse and therefore, phytoplankton response study on the regional scale is of high research priority. The present study ... -
Year-to-year variability of oil pollution along the Eastern Arabian Sea: The impact of COVID-19 imposed lock-downs
(Elsevier, 2022)This study investigated the year-to-year variability in the occurrence, abundance and sources of oil spills in the Eastern Arabian Sea (EAS) using sentinel-1 imagery and identified the potential oil spills vulnerable zones. ... -
Evaluation of a few wave energy converters for the Indian shelf seas based on available wave power
(Elsevier, 2022)The energy resource assessment at a location is crucial for designing wave energy projects. However, there is a divergence in wave energy converter (WEC) design due to diversity in wave climate, energy availability, and ... -
Differential tolerance capacity of intertidal organisms (sponge and zoanthid) to the environmental stresses: Preliminary findings from a rockpool transplantation experiment
(Springer, 2021)Marine intertidal organisms face extreme environmental fluctuations due to tidal cycles. To investigate the impact of environmental changes (high salinity, sea surface temperature, and anthropogenic pollution) on the health ... -
Influence of low-temperature fluids and post-depositional changes in the siliceous-pelagic sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Springer, 2021)In this paper, we discuss the possible reasons for the mass disappearance of radiolarians, hiatus in sedimentation, low-temperature alteration of sediments, and formation of palagonite and phillipsites in the Central Indian ... -
Reviews and syntheses: Physical and biogeochemical processes associated with upwelling in the Indian Ocean
(Copernicus GmbH, 2021)The Indian Ocean presents two distinct climate regimes. The north Indian Ocean is dominated by the monsoons, whereas the seasonal reversal is less pronounced in the south. The prevailing wind pattern produces upwelling ... -
Quinolizidine Alkaloids from Marine Organisms: A Perspective on Chemical, Bioactivity and Synthesis
(Bentham Science Publisher, 2021)Marine organisms produce numerous secondary metabolites that exhibit a wide range of biological activities, which have applications in pharmaceutical research. Numerous secondary metabolites have been discovered from various ... -
Quasi-biweekly oscillation in sea level along the western Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2021)This study investigates the variability and sources of Quasi-Biweekly (QB) oscillation (10-20 days) in coastal sea level along the western boundary of the Bay of Bengal (BoB) using tide-gauge data and simulations from a ... -
Molecular Identification and Characterization of Sugar and Peptide Carriers in the Giant Tiger Prawn, Penaeus monodon
(CRC Press, London, 2022)Individuals of the giant tiger prawn Penaeus monodon were collected at a local shrimp farm in Goa. The expression and the tissue distribution of two transport proteins involved, respectively, in sugar and peptide absorption, ... -
Extraterrestrial dust as a source of bioavailable iron contributing to the ocean for driving primary productivity
(Wiley, 2021)Bioavailable Fe is an essential nutrient for phytoplankton that enables the organisms to flourish and draw down atmospheric CO2 thus affecting global climatic conditions. In marine locales, remote from the continents, ... -
Seasonal cycle of zooplankton standing stock inferred from ADCP backscatter measurements in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2022)We use ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) backscatter, measured during October 2012 to December 2020 at three locations on the continental slope in the eastern Arabian Sea (EAS), to study the seasonal variation in ... -
Characterization of phytoplankton size-structure based productivity, pigment complexes (HPLC/CHEMTAX) and species composition in the Cochin estuary (southwest coast of India): special emphasis on diatoms
(Elsevier, 2021)Seasonal studies on size-fractionated phytoplankton productivity (biomass and primary production), marker pigments, and species composition and abundance were carried out in the Cochin estuary (CE), located on the southwest ... -
Diatom distribution in the Enderby Basin, East Antarctica
(Elsevier, 2021)The distribution of diatom taxa was studied in the Enderby Basin, East Antarctica during the austral summer of 2010. In this study, the influence of freshwater at east of the 55�E was observed due to the melting of sea-ice, ... -
Recently discovered stone anchors of Odisha, east coast of India
