Strike-slip seismicity at the Andaman-Sumatra Subduction Zone: Role of the fracture zones and age of the subducting lithosphere
(Elsevier, 2021)A better comprehension of the shallow strike-slip seismicity along the Sunda Trench is achieved by superimposing the Wharton basin fracture zones, magnetic isochrones, and focal mechanisms to the geometry of the subducting ... -
Molluscan Diversity Influenced by Mangrove Habitat in the Khors of Qatar
(Springer, 2021)The Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar is a rapidly developing region within the Arabian Gulf, where monitoring of changes in benthic biodiversity and its functioning is needed. The influence of mangroves and seasonality ... -
Possible Linkages between Microseisms in the Andaman?Nicobar Region and Swells in the South Indian Ocean
(Seismological Society of America, 2021)Microseism source characterization and its genesis play a key role in linking microseism records to prevailing atmospheric and oceanic conditions. In the present study, we analyzed the spatial and temporal distribution of ... -
Biophysical responses to tropical cyclone Hudhud over the Bay of Bengal
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2021)Cyclone Hudhud originated in the Andaman Sea on 6 October 2014. Later, it intensified into a cyclonic storm on 8 October and eventually made landfall at Visakhapatnam on 12 October as a very severe cyclonic storm. It was ... -
Concentration of Trace Metals and Biochemical Alterations in Various Species of Fishes along the West Coast of India
(Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute, 2021)This study seeks to evaluate levels of seven trace metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb and Hg) and biochemical (proteins, lipids and carbohydrates) alterations in muscle tissue of 27 commercially important fish species collected ... -
Seasonal variations in viral distribution, dynamics, and viral-mediated host mortality in the Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2021)Viruses are key players in the marine ecosystem. It is critical to study specific viral processes and their inter-relationship with various biotic and abiotic variables to quantify their impact on the marine environment. ... -
Contrasting phytoplankton and biogeochemical functioning in the eastern Arabian Sea shelf waters recorded by carbon isotopes (SW monsoon)
(Elsevier, 2021)This study examines the relationship between the isotopic signature of phytoplankton-derived particulate organic matter (POM) (?13CPOC) and estimates of growth rate and community composition along a north-south gradient ... -
Assessing the effect of riverine discharge on planktic foraminifera: A case study from the marginal marine regions of the western Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2021)Planktic foraminifera are amongst the most widely used paleoclimatic proxies. The application of foraminifera for paleoclimatic reconstruction requires knowledge of the ecological preference of species. Here, we report the ... -
Variations of Colored Dissolved Organic Matter in the Mandovi Estuary, Goa, During Spring Inter-Monsoon: A Comparison With COVID-19 Outbreak Imposed Lockdown Period
(Frontiers, 2021)Colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) is one of the important fractions of dissolved organic matter (DOM) that controls the availability of light in water and plays a crucial role in the cycling of carbon. High CDOM ... -
Prevalence of obligate and facultative anaerobic bacteria in the mudbank along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)Mudbanks along the southwest coast of India are exposed to upwelled hypoxic waters and higher concentrations of methane during summer-monsoon.We report the phylogenetic composition of obligate and facultative anaerobic ... -
Physical forcing controls spatial variability in primary production in the Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2021)In order to examine the spatial variability and controlling factors of primary production in the Indian Ocean, deck-incubation primary production (13C method) and hydrographic properties were measured at 25 locations during ... -
Ecological responses of autotrophic microplankton to the eutrophication of the coastal upwelling along the Southwest coast of India
(Springer, 2021)The primary ecological effects of the eutrophication of upwelling in the nearshore waters are the triggering and sustenance of phytoplankton (diatom) blooms. Here, we present the changes in the morphological characteristics ... -
Biochemical responses of oysters in evaluating environmental quality of tropical Indian estuarine systems
(Elsevier, 2021)Impact of varying concentrations and counts of toxic metals and indigenous bacteria on antioxidative defense system in edible oyster, Saccostrea cucullata, collected from four tropical estuarine systems of Goa (west coast ... -
Phosphate removal through adsorption on suspended matter in the Bay of Bengal: Possible implications to primary production
(Springer, 2021)Low primary production in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) could not be explained as this region receives nutrients from atmospheric deposition, rivers, eddies, and mixing due to depression/cyclones. In addition to nutrients, BoB ... -
Seasonal Variation in Chemical Composition of Size-Segregated Aerosols Over the Northeastern Arabian Sea
(Frontiers Media�, 2021)Water-soluble species constitute a significant fraction (up to 60-70%) of the total aerosol loading in the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL). The �indirect� effects, that is, climate forcing due to modification of ... -
Multiple Ecological Parameters Affect Living Benthic Foraminifera in the River-Influenced West-Central Bay of Bengal
(Frontiers Media SA, 2021)The huge riverine influx and associated processes decrease the ambient salinity, stratify the water column, modulate the oxygen-deficient zone, and are also responsible for the recent acidification in the Bay of Bengal. ... -
Chemical composition, nutritive value and health benefits of edible clam Meretrix casta (Chemnitz) from West Coast of India
(Springer, 2021)The present study was undertaken with a view to determine the nutraceutical value of the commonly consumed edible clam, Meretrix casta (Chemnitz), based on the identification of its organic chemical constituents particularly ... -
Long-term variability of Sea Surface Temperature in the Tropical Indian Ocean in relation to climate change and variability
(Elsevier, 2021)The long-term change in the sea surface temperature (SST) of the Tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) and the underlying mechanisms are examined in detail by analysing multiple reanalysis datasets and historical simulations of a ... -
Phycosphere associated bacteria- A prospective source of bioactive compounds
(Springer, 2021)Co-occurrence of bacteria and algae can be traced back to billions of years ago. Their coexistence for more than 200 million years in common habitat has fostered a multitude of promising interactions among these two groups ... -
Histopathological investigation of the reef coral Goniastrea sp. affected by macroalgal abrasion
