Effects of bottom water dissolved oxygen variability on copper and lead fractionation in the sediments across the oxygen minimum zone, western continental margin of India
(Elsevier, 2016)This study describes the effect of varying bottom-water oxygen concentration on geochemical fractionation (operational speciation) of Cu and Pb in the underneath sediments across the oxygen minimum zone (Arabian Sea) in ... -
Dominant role of winds near Sri Lanka in driving seasonal sea level variations along the west coast of India
(American Geophysical Union Publications, 2016)The strong seasonal cycle of sea level along the west coast of India (WCI) has important consequences for ecosystem and fisheries, and the Lakshadweep high/low in the southeast Arabian Sea is important for fisheries and ... -
Coupling of bacterial nitrification with denitrification and anammox supports N removal in intertidal sediments (Arcachon Bay, France)
(Elsevier, 2016)Microbial activity measurements and molecular approaches were combined to study temporal variation in nitrogen (N) removal mechanisms from muddy and sandy intertidal sediments (Arcachon Bay, France). Stable isotopes ... -
Assessment of heavy metals and estimation of human health risk in Tilapia fish from Naik lake of Nagpur, India
(Academic Journals, 2016)Gills and muscles of Tilapia fish from Naik lake of Nagpur city were estimated for heavy metals (Zinc, Lead, Nickel, Copper and Cadmium) using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Results ... -
Cyclone phyan-induced plankton community succession in the coastal waters off Goa, India
(Current Science Association, 2016)Effects of the cyclonic storm Phyan, which hit the states of Goa and Maharashtra in western India during 9-12 November 2009, on coastal waters were studied. Mixing induced by the cyclone appreciably affected the vertical ... -
Copepod carcasses in a tropical estuary during different hydrographical settings
(Springer, 2016)Dead copepods (carcasses) are widespread in aquatic systems, but their scientific quantification is rare due to the difficulty in discriminating them from live ones. In this paper, we hypothesized that due to large spatial ... -
Marine-derived fungi: Source of biologically potent and novel compounds

In situ oxygen isotope compositions in olivines of different types of cosmic spherules: An assessment of relationships to chondritic particles
(Elsevier, 2016)Cosmic spherules collected from deep sea sediments of the Indian Ocean having different textures such as scoriaceous (4), relict-bearing (16), porphyritic (35) and barred olivine (2) were investigated for petrography, as ... -
A new species of Heterospio (Annelida, longosomatidae) from the Indian Ocean
(2016)Knowledge about the taxonomy and distribution of the monogeneric polychaete family Longosomatidae Hartman, 1944 is limited in all parts of the world. A new species of the genus Heterospio Ehlers, 1874 (Annelida, Longosomatidae) ... -
Timing, cause and consequences of mid-Holocene climate transition in the Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2016)We reconstruct centennial scale quantitative changes in surface seawater temperature (SST), evaporation-precipitation (from Mg/Ca and delta18O of surface dwelling planktic foraminifera), productivity (from relative abundance ... -
Antibacterial activity of marine bacillus substances against V. cholerae and S. aureus and in vivo evaluation using embryonic zebrafish test system
(Indian Pharmaceutical Association, 2016)Cell free extracts of Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii and B. thuringiensis isolated from hydrothermal vent region of Azorean Island Faial, North Atlantic Ocean showed antagonistic against V. cholera serogroup 01 and ... -
Prevalence of skeletal tissue growth anomalies in a scleractinian coral: Turbinaria mesenterina of Malvan Marine Sanctuary, eastern Arabian Sea
(Inter Research, 2016)Skeletal tissue growth anomalies (STAs) of corals are capable of causing considerable degradation of reef health. This study is the first report of growth anomalies in Turbinaria corals and the first descriptive study of ... -
The final spawning ground of Tachypleus gigas (Muller, 1785) on the east Peninsular Malaysia is at risk: A call for action.
(PeerJ, Inc, 2016)Tanjung Selongor and Pantai Balok (State Pahang) are the only two places known for spawning activity of the Malaysian horseshoe crab - Tachypleus gigas (Muller, 1785) on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. While the ... -
Indian contributions in the field of marine micropaleontology (2010-2015)
(Indian National Science Academy, 2016)An overview of the research contributions made during the last five years by the Indian scientists in the field of marine micropaleontology is presented. Large scale micropaleontological studies employing assemblages of ... -
Mass mortality of macrobenthos in a biodiverse rocky beach- Impact of a minor oil spill
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2016)A field survey was carried immediately post an accidental oil spill at rocky intertidal zone of Uran. Mass mortality of macrobenthos was observed at spillage site whereas reference site harboured diverse and live macrobenthic ... -
