Cletocamptus goenchim sp. nov., a new harpacticoid (Copepoda: Harpacticoida) from India
(Biological Society of Washington, 2013)A new species of harpacticoid copepod, Cletocamptus goenchim sp. nov., was found in the mouth of the Mandovi estuary, Goa, India. This species seems to be the same reported in 1979 from Lake Kolleru (east coast of India) ... -
UV-absorbing bacteria in coral mucus and their response to simulated temperature elevations
(Springer, 2013)Reef-building corals encompass various strategies to defend against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Coral mucus contains UV-absorbing compounds and has rich prokaryotic diversity associated with it. In this study, we ... -
Factors controlling the temporal and spatial variations in Synechococcus abundance in a monsoonal estuary
(Elsevier, 2013)Temporal and spatial variations in Synechococcus abundance were investigated over an annual cycle (February`10–January`11) along a salinity gradient (0–35) in the tropical Zuari estuary, influenced by south-west monsoons. ... -
Copper addition helps alleviate iron stress in a coastal diatom: Response of Chaetoceros gracilis from the Bay of Bengal to experimental Cu and Fe addition
(Elsevier, 2013)Copper (Cu) is a transition metal with multi-oxidation states, and though it plays numerous roles in vital physiological and biochemical pathways including both photosynthesis and respiration, it can potentially be toxic ... -
Spatio-temporal distributions of delta<sup>18</sup>O, delta D and salinity in the Arabian Sea: Identifying processes and controls
(Elsevier, 2013)Isotopic compositions ( delta<sup>18O</sup> and deltaD) and salinity (S) of 683 surface water samples from the Arabian Sea (AS) collected during 2008–2010, were measured to understand the factors controlling the spatio-temporal ... -
Sea–air CO2 fluxes in the Indian Ocean between 1990 and 2009
(European Geosciences Union, 2013)The Indian Ocean (44° S–30° N) plays an important role in the global carbon cycle, yet it remains one of the most poorly sampled ocean regions. Several approaches have been used to estimate net sea–air CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes ... -
In vitro and in vivo activities of antibiotic PM181104
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013)Drug resistance has become a global threat that, if not addressed, may return us to the preantibiotic era. A way to overcome the problem of growing incidence of global antibiotic resistance is to introduce compounds belonging ... -
The origin of ferro-manganese oxide coated pumice from the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Elsevier, 2013)Pumice clasts, partially and fully coated with ferro-manganese oxide from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) were analysed for major, trace and rare earth elements; and glass and mineral grain chemistry to assess their ... -
Iron fertilization enhanced net community production but not downward particle flux during the Southern Ocean iron fertilization experiment LOHAFEX
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)A closed eddy core in the Subantarctic Atlantic Ocean was fertilized twice with two tons of iron (as FeSO<sub>4</sub>), and the 300 km<sup>2</sup> fertilized patch was studied for 39 days to test whether fertilization ... -
REE in suspended particulate matter and sediment of the Zuari estuary and adjacent shelf, western India: Influence of mining and estuarine turbidity
(Elsevier, 2013)Concentrations of Al, Fe, Mn and rare earth elements (REE) were measured in 122 samples of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and 70 surficial sediments from the Zuari estuary and the adjacent shelf to understand their ... -
Variation in the Indian summer monsoon intensity during the Bolling-Allerod and Holocene
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)Variations in the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) intensity during the last 16.7 ka have been studied using organic carbon (C<sub>org</sub>), delta <sup>15</sup>N of sedimentary organic matter, CaCO<sub>3</sub>, sediment ... -
Directionality and spread of shallow water waves along the eastern Arabian Sea
(Copernicus Publications, 2013)The directional characteristics of shallow water waves are described based on measured data during 2011 at two locations spaced at 350 km along the eastern Arabian Sea. Study shows that, for high swells (significant wave ... -
Oxidative stress and antioxidant indices of marine alga Porphyra vietnamensis
(University of Zagreb, 2013)Oxidative stress and antioxidant defence systems were assessed in a marine red alga Porphyra vietnamensis Tanaka et Pham-Hoang Ho, from India. Lipid peroxidation (LPX) and hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) ... -
Indian Ocean Dipole and El Nino/Southern Oscillation impacts on regional chlorophyll anomalies in the Indian Ocean
(Copernicus Publications, 2013)The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are independent climate modes, which frequently co-occur, driving significant interannual changes within the Indian Ocean. We use a four-decade ... -
Effect of eyestalk extirpation on haemolymph ionic concentration of Metapenaeus monoceros
(Horizon Publisher, 2013)Metapenaeus monoceros in the size range 65-70mm was subjected to the evaluation of sodium(Na<sup>+</sup>),, potassium (K<sup>+</sup>) and calcium (Ca<sup>2+</sup>) ionic concentration in the haemolymph after unilateral ... -
Biometric and morphometric studies of Perna viridis and Perna indica along the southwest coast of India: a statistical approach
(Horizon Publisher, 2013)The growth indices of the Mussels, Perna viridis and Perna indica collected from the south west coast of India were examined using statistical methods. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Exploratory Factor Analysis ... -
Observed tidal currents on the continental shelf off the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2013)Observed currents from ADCPs, deployed at 100 m and 150 m depths, on the continental shelf at five different locations along the west coast of India, were used to study the characteristics of both barotropic and baroclinic ... -
Particle backscattering variability in the coastal waters of Bay of Bengal: A case study along off Kakinada and Yanam Regions
(IEEE, 2013)The distribution and variability of particulate back scattering coefficient (b<sub>bp</sub>) in the Godavari basin are reported for the first time using in situ measurements. A coastal cruise was conducted in the coastal ... -
Coastal erosion triggered by a shipwreck along the coast of Goa, India
(Current Science Association, 2013)Temporal satellite imageries (1999, 2001, 2003, 2006, 2008 and 2011), wave model (DHI) results and field measurements have been used to evaluate whether the grounded ship MV River Princess played a role in triggering erosion ... -
