Nine new records of brittle stars (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) from Indian waters
(Taylor & Francis, 2021)This paper presents nine new records of brittle stars for the Indian waters, collected between 49 and 957 m depths in the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea. Of these, Ophiolepis cardioplax and Ophiopsammus aequalis ... -
Report of Cothurnia cf. pedunculata Dons, 1918 (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) found as epibiont on Entoprocta from the Indian Ocean
(Station Biologique de Roscoff Institute, Roscoff, France, 2022)Peritrich ciliate Cothurnia cf. pedunculata Dons, 1918 is reported for the first time from the Indian ocean, along Mumbai, west coast of India as epibiont on entoproct Barentsia Hincks, 1880. This is the first report of ... -
Role of riverine inputs, low saline plume advection and mesoscale physical processes in structuring the Chlorophyll a distribution in the western Bay of Bengal during Fall Inter Monsoon
(Elsevier, 2021)This study delineates the role of small and medium river inputs, Low Saline Plume Advection (LSPA) and eddies in hydrography alteration and Chlorophyll a (Chl. a) in the Western Bay of Bengal. Samples were collected across ... -
Influence of environmental variables on methane related microbial activities in a tropical bio-secured zero-exchange shrimp culture system
(Elsevier, 2022)Recently, aquaculture has emerged as the fastest growing food-producing sector accounting for nearly 50% of the world's food fish and is an activity of economic importance worldwide. Aquaculture systems are considered as ... -
Differences in the Structural Components Influence the Pumping Capacity of Marine Sponges
(Frontiers Media SA, 2021)Marine sponges are important sessile, benthic filter feeders with a body plan designed to pump water efficiently. The sponge body plan generally consists of mineral spicules, gelatinous mesohyl, and the pores and canals ... -
Salinity changes may influence dinoflagellate cyst morphometry: data from monsoon-influenced tropical coastal ecosystems
(Oxford Academic, 2021)Generally, dinoflagellate cyst morphology is species specific. Their variability due to environmental factors (temperature and salinity) makes them potential proxies for such factors. However, there is a dearth of information ... -
Time and causes of submergence of ancient temple structures off Mahabalipuram, East Coast of India
(NIScPR-CSIR, India, 2021)As per traditional belief, some part of the ancient town of Mahabalipuram had been submerged just off the shore temple and this story has been recorded by the several British travelers during the 18th - 19th century. During ... -
Observed current variability in Gulf of Mannar
(Springer, 2021)We present current data from an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) moored on the continental shelf-break in the Gulf of Mannar (GoM) near Ram Setu during 2010-2011. The observations show that the near-surface, ... -
Microplastics in zooplankton in the eastern Arabian Sea: The threats they pose to fish and corals favoured by coastal currents
(Elsevier, 2021)The baseline study of Microplastics (MPs) in zooplankton (copepods, chaetognaths, decapods, and fish larvae) from six different zones along India's west coast (off Kanyakumari/Cape Comorin, Kochi, Mangalore, Goa, Mumbai, ... -
Phytoplankton dynamics in a seasonal stratified reservoir (Tillari), Western India
(EDP Sciences, 2021)Phytoplankton are the primary producers in all the aquatic ecosystems and play an important role in key biogeochemical processes that are linked to the higher trophic levels and climate variability. The present study deals ... -
Artificial intelligence approaches for spatial prediction of landslides in mountainous regions of western India
(Springer, 2021)The prediction of landslide is a complex task but preparing the landslide susceptibility map through artificial intelligence approaches can reduce life loss and damages resulting from landslides. The purpose of this study ... -
Why the Gulf of Mannar is a marine biological paradise?
(Springer, 2021)The Gulf of Mannar (GoM), located between India and Sri Lanka, has astonishing faunal richness and diversity. Two oceanographic data sets supplemented with satellite remote sensing observations are discussed here to show ... -
Xylanolytic enzyme consortia from Bacillus sp. NIORKP76 for improved biobleaching of kraft pulp
(Springer, 2021)A cellulase-free xylanolytic enzyme consortia consisting of a xylanase, arabinofuranosidase, and acetyl xylan esterase produced by Bacillus sp. NIORKP76 isolate under solid-state fermentation was assessed for its bio-bleaching ... -
A study on loops and eddies identified from the trajectories of drifters in the North Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2021)We identify loops and eddies from the trajectories of the drifters in the North Indian Ocean (NIO) from October 1985 to March 2019. We use the geometric identification method to identify loops and eddies and compare them ... -
Nutritional value of seaweeds and their potential to serve as nutraceutical supplements
(Taylor & Francis, 2021)Seaweeds are marine autotrophic organisms with numerous bioactive compounds of interest. Several seaweed products are available in the form of food or medicine due to their myriad beneficial biomolecules like anti-diabetic, ... -
Ocean Acidification Triggers Cell Signaling, Suppress Immune and Calcification in the Pacific Oyster Larvae
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)Elevated carbon dioxide levels in ocean waters, an anthropogenic stressor, can alter the chemical equilibrium of seawater through a process called ocean acidification (OA). The resultant reduction of pH can be detrimental ... -
Acidification of the coastal Bay of Bengal by aerosols deposition
(Springer, 2021)Polluted aerosol transport from South Asia containing oxides of nitrogen and sulphur and their deposition on surface may acidify coastal waters. To test this hypothesis, we have conducted experiments involving (a) variability ... -
Decadal variations in natural and anthropogenic aerosol optical depth over the Bay of Bengal: the influence of pollutants from Indo - Gangetic Plain
(Springer, 2021)Perennial increase in atmospheric pollution over the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and South China Sea is reported due to increase in human population and industrial activity in South and Southeast Asia. Based on total aerosol optical ... -
Ecological quality status assessment of tropical estuaries with benthic indices using differently derived reference conditions
(Elsevier, 2022)Setting appropriate reference conditions (RCs) is critical for classifying the Ecological Quality Status (EcoQS) which is extremely challenging, considering the present-day estuaries. The EcoQS of three tropical estuaries ... -
