Thick-shelled, grazer-protected diatoms decouple ocean carbon and silicon cycles in the iron-limited Antarctic Circumpolar Current
(National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2013)Diatoms of the iron-replete continental margins and North Atlantic are key exporters of organic carbon. In contrast, diatoms of the iron-limited Antarctic Circumpolar Current sequester silicon, but comparatively little ... -
Land-cover change in Goa– An Integrated RS – GIS Approach
(Geoinformatics International, 2013)Goa, with its’ scenic beauty of sandy beaches, large population with relatively low human development index, forms a part of the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot. The advent of tourism, enhanced mining activities, and ... -
Description of a New Mangrove Root Dwelling Species of Teleotanais (Crustacea: Peracarida: Tanaidacea) from India, with a Key to Teleotanaidae
(Japanese Society of Systematic Zoology, 2013)Tanaidaceans collected from mangrove pneumatophores on the west coast of India included females and mancae of a new species of the rare and plesiomorphic family Teleotanaidae, described herein as Teleotanais indiaensisi ... -
Coastal vulnerability assessment of Puducherry coast, India, using the analytical hierarchical process
(European Geosciences Union, 2013)As a consequence of change in global climate, an increased frequency of natural hazards such as storm surges, tsunamis and cyclones, is predicted to have dramatic affects on the coastal communities and ecosystems by virtue ... -
Waves off Puducherry, Bay of Bengal, during cyclone THANE
(Springer, 2013)We studied the wave characteristics during the very severe cyclonic storm THANE which crossed the east coast of India between Puducherry and Cuddalore based on waves measured at a location in Bay of Bengal at 14 m water ... -
Influence of Saltwater Barrage on Tides, Salinity, and Chlorophyll a in Cochin Estuary, India
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2013)Thanneermukkam Barrage (TB) is constructed in the southern arm of Cochin estuary. It prevents salt intrusion upstream and regulates river discharge downstream. Characteristics of the estuary when the barrage is opened and ... -
Estimation of Near-Field and Far-Field Dilutions for Site Selection of Effluent Outfall in a Coastal Region - A Case Study
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2013)Site selection for release of industrial effluents is of prime concern for maintaining the quality of the marine environment. In this study, an attempt has been made to establish the prevailing ecological conditions and ... -
Simulation of Trajectories of Tar Ball Transport to the Goa Coast
(Springer, 2013)Arrival of tar balls to the Goa coast during pre- and southwest monsoon seasons has been a regular phenomenon in the past few years. In one such event, we observed tar ball deposits along the Goa coast during August 2010, ... -
Mesozooplankton community structure in the upper 1,000 m along the western Bay of Bengal during the 2002 fall intermonsoon
(Springer, 2013)Stratification, no upwelling, sediment load, and heavy cloud cover are known to limit primary production in the western Bay of Bengal. Studies on primary consumers in this area are few. Recent studies in the Bay have shown ... -
Population structure and biological characteristics of Siriella gracilis (Mysida) from the Exclusive Economic Zone of India
(Koninklijke Brill, 2013)The abundance, population structure and other biological aspects of Siriella gracilis were evaluated based on zooplankton collections in the Exclusive Economic Zone of India (Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea) as ... -
Spatio-temporal variations in biochemical composition, condition index and percentage edibility of the clam, Paphia malabarica (Chemnitz) from estuarine regions of Goa
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2013)Biochemical compositions, condition index (CI) and percentage edibility (PE) of an estuarine clam, Paphia malabarica, were studied from two estuarine regions of Goa during March 2009 to March 2010. Relationships between ... -

Biosynthesis Of Silver Nanoparticles From Marine Seaweed Sargassum Cinereum And Their Antibacterial Activity
(Medknow, 2013)Seaweed extracts of Sargassum cinereum was used as a reducing agent in the eco-friendly extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles from an aqueous solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3 ). High conversion of silver ions ... -
bioSearch : A glimpse into marine biodiversity of Indian coastal waters
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2013)bioSearch is a database application developed to digitize marine biodiversity of Indian coastal waters. A user can obtain information on organism’s binomial and common names, synonyms, taxonomy, morphology, ecology, economic ... -
Iodine catalyzed one-pot synthesis of chloro-substituted linear and angular indoloquinolines and in vitro antiproliferative activity study of different indoloquinolines
(Springer, 2013)This article describes a facile one-pot synthesis of different chloro-substituted linear and angular indoloquinolines using iodine as a catalyst and in vitro antiproliferative activity of these chloro-substituted ... -
Characteristics of Tides in the Bay of Bengal
(Taylor and Francis, 2013)A vertically integrated 2D numerical model was developed for the simulation of major tidal constituents (M2, S2, N2, K1 and O1) in the Bay of Bengal. The bathymetry for the model domain was derived from an improved ETOPO5 ... -
Association of bacteria with marine invertebrates: Implications for ballast water management
(International Association for Ecology and Health, 2013)Bacteria associated with plankton are of importance in marine bioinvasions and the implementation of ship’s ballast water treatment technologies. In this study, epibiotic and endobiotic bacteria associated with zooplankton, ... -
Was the Rann of Kachchh navigable during the Harappan times (Mid-Holocene)? An archaeological perspective
(Current Science Association, 2013)The Kachchh region, presently, is one of the difficul t areas in the Indian subcontinent for human settlement due to harsh climate, scanty rainfall and hence no scope for agriculture production. However, the region was ... -
Micrometeorite flux on Earth during the last ~50,000 years
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)Flux of micrometeorites is estimated by using cosmic spherule counts from a seafloor area of 2.50 ms<sup>2</sup> from the Indian Ocean. The spherules are recovered from sediment samples in close-spaced locations from the ... -
Origins of wind-driven intraseasonal sea level variations in the North Indian Ocean coastal waveguide
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)In this paper, it is shown that a linear, continuously stratified ocean model reproduces observed wind-driven intraseasonal sea level variability in the coastal waveguide of the Northern Indian Ocean (NIO). Sensitivity ...
