(Springer, 2013)A novel marine, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain N9 sup(T), was isolated from a water sample of the sea shore at Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh (India). Strain N9 sup(T) was found to be positive for ... -
Silanimonas mangrovi sp. nov., a member of the family Xanthomonadaceae isolated from mangrove sediment, and emended description of the genus Silanimonas
(International Union of Microbiological Societies, 2013)A novel Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacterium, designated strain AK13 sup(T), was isolated from a sediment sample collected from mangrove of Namkhana, Sunderbans, West Bengal, India. Strain AK13 sup(T) was positive ... -
High-resolution residual geoid and gravity anomaly data of the northern Indian Ocean - An input to geological understanding
(Elsevier, 2013)Geoid data are more sensitive to density distributions deep within the Earth, thus the data are useful for studying the internal processes of the Earth leading to formation of geological structures. A much improved version ... -
Marinilabilia nitratireducens sp. nov., a lipolytic bacterium of the family Marinilabiliaceae isolated from marine solar saltern
(Springer, 2013)A Gram-negative, rod shaped, motile bacterium, was isolated from a marine solar saltern sample collected from Kakinada, India. Strain AK2 sup(T) was determined to be positive for nitrate reduction, catalase, Ala-Phe-Pro- ... -
Numerical modelling of tides and storm surges in the Bay of Bengal
(2012)This study generated improved reliable bathymetric datasets for the continental shelf of the Indian Ocean. Simulation of tides and generation of co-range and co-tidal charts of the major semi-diurnal and diurnal constituents ... -
Ancient coastal transportation system along the Western Saurashtra coast: Evidence from Navibandar
(Current Science Association, 2013)A recent maritime archaeological exploration around Navibandar, Gujarat yielded evidence of ferry/jetty points. These points were well connected with the stone-paved roads. Interestingly, the roads have evidence of the use ... -
Impact of eutrophication on the occurrence of Trichodesmium in the Cochin backwaters, the largest estuary along the west coast of India
(Springer, 2013)Phytoplankton studies in early 1970s have shown the annual dominance of diatoms and a seasonal abundance of Trichodesmium in the lower reaches of the Cochin backwaters (CBW) and adjacent coastal Arabian Sea during the ... -
Nutrient biogeochemistry of the eastern Arabian Sea during the southwest monsoon retreat
(Springer, 2013)Hydrography of the eastern Arabian Sea and associated chemical and biological responses were studied during the withdrawal phase of summer monsoon 2003. The shelf region off the southwest coast of India (10 degrees N-15 ... -
Changes in the soft-bottom macrobenthic diversity and community structure from the ports of Mumbai, India
(Springer, 2013)Soft-bottom macrobenthic diversity and community structure were assessed at Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru ports during three different periods between 2001 and 2002 (November 2001 post-monsoon 1, April/May 2002 pre-monsoon, ... -
New records of epibiont Ciliates (Ciliophora) from Indian coast with descriptions of six new species
(Station Biologique de Roscoff, 2013)Six epibiont ciliates Cothurnia palkensis, C. nova, C. disper, C. dovgali, C. mannaerensis and C. clampi are described as new for science from the Indian coast. Acineta truncata Collin, 1909 and A. tuberosa Ehrenberg, 1834 ... -
Assessing the distribution and abundance of seabed minerals from seafloor photographic data in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)Distribution characteristics of deep-sea mineral resources such as polymetallic nodules and ferromanganese crusts are often influenced by local seafloor features such as the topographic undulations and sediment thickness. ... -
Dinoflagellate cyst assemblages in recent sediments of Visakhapatnam harbour, east coast of India: Influence of environmental characteristics
(Elsevier, 2013)The distribution and abundance of dinoflagellate cysts in recent sediments from Visakhapatnam harbour, east coast of India was investigated and compared with sediment characteristics and physico-chemical variables of the ... -
Seasonal stratification and property distributions in a tropical estuary (Cochin estuary, west coast, India)
(European Geosciences Union, 2013)The intratidal, spring–neap and seasonal variations in stratification were examined in the Cochin estuary. The observations established a strong connection with the distribution of chemical and biological properties. The ... -
Ecology and trophic preference of picoplankton and nanoplankton in the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Bay, southeast coast of India
(Elsevier, 2013)The Gulf of Mannar (GoM) and the Palk Bay (PB) are two least studied marine environments located between India and Sri Lanka. The environmental and smaller plankton (0.2–20 mu m) data from 30 locations in the GoM and PB ... -
Macrobenthos in anthropogenically influenced zones of a coralline marine protected area in the Gulf of Kachchh, India
(Elsevier, 2013)The Gulf of Kachchh Marine National Park and Sanctuary (MNPS) has one of the four coral reef systems of India. However, owing to its unique geographical position, this area has been transformed into an industrial hub ... -
