Differential environmental responses of tropical phytoplankton community in the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2017)Phytoplankton characteristics (biomass, primary productivity, species composition and community structure) were studied in a tropical estuary (Cochin estuary) and adjacent coastal marine region for understanding the factors ... -
Feeding preference and daily ration of 12 dominant copepods on mono and mixed diets of phytoplankton, rotifers, and detritus in a tropical coastal water
(Springer, 2017)Results of the experimental studies on the feeding habit and daily ration (DR) of 12 dominant copepods from a tropical coastal water (off Kochi, Southwest coast of India) on different food items (phytoplankton, rotifers, ... -
Long-term preservation of Tetraselmis indica (Chlorodendrophyceae, Chlorophyta) for flow cytometric analysis: Influence of fixative and storage temperature
(Elsevier, 2017)Immediate enumeration of phytoplankton is seldom possible. Therefore, fixation and subsequent storage are required for delayed analysis. This study investigated the influence of glutaraldehyde (GA) concentrations (0.25%, ... -
Taxonomy and distribution of benthic foraminifera in an intertidal zone of the Yellow Sea, PR China: Correlations with sediment temperature and salinity
(Elsevier, 2017)Seasonal variations in foraminiferal populations from the intertidal environment of the Yellow Sea are not well known. This results in restricted understanding of environmental implications of foraminifera and their ... -
Marine macroalgal nursery: A model for sustainable production of seedlings for large scale farming
(Elsevier, 2018)Innovative technologies in seaweed aquaculture are the need of the hour for sustaining the emerging global market demands. The supply of seedlings for year-round sea farming has remained as a major challenge for large-scale ... -
Interannual variability of zonal currents in the equatorial Indian Ocean: respective control of IOD and ENSO
(Springer, 2017)The observational record is too short to confidently differentiate the relative contributions of Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and El Ni�o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on the interannual variability of the equatorial current ... -
A simple method to forecast the frequency of depressions and cyclones over Bay of Bengal during summer monsoon season
(Springer, 2018)In this study, an attempt has been made to develop a simple multiple regression model to forecast the total number of depressions and cyclones (TNDC) over Bay of Bengal during summer monsoon (June-September) season using ... -
Microbial dynamics in a tropical monsoon influenced estuary: Elucidation through field observations and microcosm experiments on biofilms
(Elsevier, 2017)The changes that occur in biofilms reflect the influence of the environment. In a case study, the biofilms developed along a salinity gradient from marine to freshwater in a tropical monsoon influenced estuary (Zuari, west ... -
40Ar/39Ar dating of the Mumbai tholeiites and Panvel flexure: intense 62.5 Ma onshore-offshore Deccan magmatism during India-Laxmi Ridge-Seychelles breakup
(Oxford University Press, 2017)Mumbai, located on the western Indian continental margin, exposes Danian-age Deccan magmatic units of diverse compositions, dipping seaward due to the Panvel flexure. The Ghatkopar-Powai tholeiitic sequence contains ... -
Metabolic regulatory oscillations in intertidal green seaweed Ulva lactuca against tidal cycles
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017)The survival of wetland plant species largely relies on physiological adaptations essential for submergence and desiccation. Intertidal seaweeds, unlike terrestrial plants, have unique adaptations to submergence and can ... -
Quick elucidation of cyclodepsipeptide sequence from sacoglossan Elysia grandifolia using electrospray ionisation-tandem mass spectrometry
(Sage Publications, 2017)Butanol fraction of sacoglossan Elysia grandifolia was investigated for identifying peptides using electrospray ionisation-tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). Without prior isolation, the structural determination is ... -
POC export fluxes in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal: A simultaneous 234Th/238U and 210Po/210Pb study
(Elsevier, 2018)Seasonal variation in POC export flux, from the upper ocean, was studied during post southwest monsoon (October-November 2013) and spring intermonsoon (May 2014) at selected locations in the central and southern Arabian ... -
Wave-current interaction during Hudhud cyclone in the Bay of Bengal
(Copernicus Publications for EGU, 2017)The present work describes the interaction between waves and currents utilizing a coupled ADCIRC+SWAN model for the very severe cyclonic storm�Hudhud,�which�made landfall at Visakhapatnam on�the east coast of India in ... -
Oceanospirillum sanctuarii sp. nov., isolated from a sediment sample
(Microbiology Society, 2017)A novel Gram-staining-negative, spiral-shaped, pale-yellow, non-sporulating, motile, aerobic bacterium, designated strain AK56T, was isolated from a sediment sample collected at the Coringa Wildlife Sanctuary, India. ... -
Influence of spatial competitor on asexual reproduction of the marine sponge Cinachyrella cf. cavernosa (Porifera, Demospongiae)
(Springer, 2018)Competition for resources, which often results in resource tradeoffs, is intense among sessile benthic organisms. In this investigation, we tested the tradeoffs between the primary and secondary functions by studying the ... -
Weight-length relationship and Fulton�s condition factor of the alligator pipefish, Syngnathoides biaculeatus (Bloch, 1785) from the Southeast coast of India
