Microplastics in seafood as an emerging threat to marine environment: A case study in Goa, West coast of India
(Elsevier BV, 2021)The present study exhibits the occurrence of MPs in different matrices (water, sediment and biota) from the Sal estuary, Goa, situated on the central west coast of India. The average numbers of MPs in the water column and ... -
A numerical investigation on the tide-induced residence time and its association with the suspended sediment concentration in Gulf of Khambhat, northern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)A 2D-numerical model is used to estimate suspended sediment (SS) transport and residence time (RT) of the Gulf of Khambhat (Gulf). Tidal current, as well as bottom topography, play a key role in sediment entrapment inside ... -
Sea foam-associated pathogenic bacteria along the west coast of India
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021)Anthropogenic activities release effluents containing nutrients and pathogenic bacteria that change the characteristics of coastal ecosystems. An important type of marine pollution which has occurred in 3 different states ... -
Inconsistent change in surface hydrography of the eastern Arabian Sea during the last four glacial-interglacial intervals
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2020)The eastern Arabian Sea is influenced by both the advection of upwelled water from the western Arabian Sea and winter convective mixing. Therefore, sediments collected from the eastern Arabian Sea can help to understand ... -
Cellular response of Brevibacterium casei #NIOSBA88 to arsenic and chromium- a proteomic approach
(Springer, 2020)Cellular response against different heavy metal stress differs with the metal. Arsenic and chromium are heavy metals and toxic to living systems. The concentration of these metals in seawater is very low. However, due to ... -
A late Pleistocene sedimentation in the Indus Fan, Arabian Sea, IODP Site U1457
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)The intensity of turbidite sedimentation over long timescales is driven by sea-level change, tectonically driven rock uplift and climatically modulated sediment delivery rates. This study focuses on understanding the effect ... -
Impact of a large hydraulic barrage on the trace metals concentration in mesozooplankton in the Kochi backwaters, along the Southwest coast of India
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)This study delineates the impact of a man-made hydrological barrage [Thannermukkom barrage (TB)] on the concentration of selected trace metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb) in mesozooplankton from the Kochi backwaters ... -
Denitrification rates of culturable bacteria from a coastal location turning temporally hypoxic
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)Nitrate reduction plays a key role in the biogeochemical dynamics and microbial ecology of coastal upwelling systems. Seasonal upwelling in the eastern Arabian Sea entrains nitrate rich waters to the surface, the intense ... -
Progression of regeneration in demosponge Cinachyrella cf cavernosa based on wound location
(Springer, 2020)In this study, the differential regeneration process in sponge Cinachyrella cf cavernosa (Lamarck, 1815) was examined by creating wounds at basal and apical tissues. The differences in wound healing were investigated based ... -
Can the ecological status of three differentially impacted monsoonal tropical estuaries in NW India, be adequately assessed by a common estuarine benthic index?
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)Effective management measures for improving rapidly deteriorating estuaries around the world are hugely dependent on accurate evaluation of the ecological status, which is a challenge in itself considering the Estuarine ... -
Prevalence of indicator and potential pathogenic bacterial groups in the Chapora bay-estuarine system, Goa, central west coast of India
(Springer, 2020)This paper describes the prevalence of indicator and pathogenic bacterial groups in water and sediments in OSZ-offshore, ISZ-inshore, IEZ-inner estuary, and UEZ-upper estuary along the river Chapora, central west coast of ... -
The hard corals (Scleractinia) of India: A revised checklist
(CSIR-NISCAIR, Newdelhi, 2020)Persistence of coral reefs is threatened globally due to intensified human activities and ongoing climate change. Coral reefs in India are also suffering from acute stress events like mass coral bleaching and coastal ... -
A novel species Spinonema gracilispiculum sp. n. (Nematoda: Desmodoridae) from the oxygen minimum zone of Eastern Arabian Sea margin
(Magnolia Press, 2020)A new species of marine free living nematode Spinonema gracilispiculum sp. n. is described from the oxygen minimum zone of the eastern Arabian Sea (216m) margin. This new nematode species was found exclusively in the station ... -
Variation in phytoplankton community and its implication to dimethylsulphide production at a coastal station off Goa, India
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)Seasonal hypoxia/suboxia (at times anoxia) towards the end of Southwest monsoon (SWM; June to September) at the coastal time series site off Goa, West coast of India was found to influence the dynamics of phytoplankton ... -
Probing the nature of extraterrestrial dust reaching the Earth�s surface collected from the Maitri station, Antarctica
(University of Arkansa, 2020)Micrometeorites (MMs) are extraterrestrial dust particles, in the size range of tens of �m to mm, recovered from the Earth�s surface primarily from deep-sea sediments, Antarctica, and also from space. The present collection ... -
Anomalous phase association of REE in ferromanganese crusts from Indian mid-oceanic ridges: Evidence for large scale dispersion of hydrothermal iron
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)Ferromanganese crusts collected at selected locations along the ~7000 km long stretch of Carlsberg, Central Indian and Southwest Indian ridges are studied for bulk geochemical composition and distribution of rare earths ... -
Recent salinity intrusion in the Bengal delta: Observations and possible causes
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)Salinization stands among the most prominent environmental hazards of the largest delta on Earth, the Bengal delta. It has significant impacts on the local societies and the economy. Using an unprecedented collection of ... -
High-resolution Operational Ocean Forecast and reanalysis System for the Indian Ocean
