Antifungal activity of some marine organisms from India, against food spoilage Aspergillus strains
(Kluwer, 1999)Crude aqueous methanol extracts obtained from 31 species of various marine organisms (including floral and faunal), were screened for their antifungal activity against food poisoning strains of Aspergillus. Seventeen species ... -
Lignin-modifying enzymes of Flavodon flavus, a basidiomycete isolated from a coastal marine environment
(American Society for Microbiology, 1999)A basidiomycetous fungus Flavodon flavus (Klotzsch) Ryvarden (strain 312), isolated from decaying sea grass from a coral lagoon off the west coast of India, mineralized nearly 24% of sup(14)C-labeled synthetic lignin to ... -
Record of imposex in Cronia konkanensis (Gastropoda, Muricidae) from Indian waters
(Elsevier, 1999)This study for the first time records the phenomenon of imposed in gastropods from Indian waters. The gastropods were collected from three stations located in Goa: Marmugao Harbour, Dona Paula and Arambol. Imposex was ... -
Studies on the fatty acids of the red alga Chondria armata (Kutz.) okamura
(Walter de Gruyter, Berlin, 1999)The alga, Chondria armata, collected from Goa Coast, India has been studied for its fatty acid composition. The analysis of fatty acid methyl esters by GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) revealed the presnece of ... -
Truce with oxygen - A naerobiosis outcompete aerobiosis in the Antarctic lacustrine bacteria
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1999)The total number of bacteria counted directly by epifluorescent microscopy showed that they ranged from 10 sup(8)-10 sup(-1) in Antarctic lake water samples. The percentages of retrievable viable counts (RVC) of anaerobic ... -
Phytoplankton-zooplankton inter-relationships in tropical waters - Grazing and gut pigment dynamics
(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, 1999)An examination of the feeding mechanisms in two taxonomically dissimilar classes of tropical planktonic harbivores Evadne tergestina (Cladocera) and Acrocalanus spp. (Copepoda) revealed a distinct rhythmicity of food intake. ... -
Benthic fauna of southwest and southeast coasts of India
(Asian Fisheries Society, Indian Branch, Mangalore (India), 1999)Benthos, sediments characteristics and organic matter content were studied along southwest and southeast coasts of India. Number of groups/species varied with the stations and also with the depths. Population density was ... -
Bothid larvae (Pleuronectiformes-Pisces) of the Indian Ocean
(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, 1999)The larvae of bothids were found to be sparsely distributed in the Indian Ocean, being only 7.6% in IIOE collections (1960-65) and 13.5% in FORV Sagar Sampada (1986-90) samples. They were confined mostly to the coastal ... -
Atoll mangroves and associated flora from Republic of Maldives, Indian Ocean
(International Society for Mangrove Ecosystems, Okinawa, Japan, 1999)Coral islands from the Republic of Maldives were surveyed for their mangroves and feasibility of large scale mangrove afforestation to restore the coastal habitats and stabilize the shore. Extensive mangrove formations ... -
Trophic structure and levels of selected metals in the zooplankton community of Thane-Bassein Creek, Bombay
(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, 1999)Community structure of zooplankton at 4 locations, 2 in the coastal waters off Bombay and 2 in interior Thane-Bassein Creek System, Maharashtra, India were studied for a period of one year. Copepods as the major herbivore ... -
The Arabian Sea: Physical environment, zooplankton and myctophid abundance
(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, 1999)The Arabian Sea is one of the most productive regions of the world oceans. This productivity mainly results from coastal and open ocean upwelling in summer and cooling effects during winter. Earlier and more recent studies ... -
Retrieval of sea surface air temperature from satellite data over Indian Ocean: An empirical approach
(Asian Meteorology Online Newsletter, 1999)The sea surface air temperature is an important parameter required for computation of air-sea fluxes over oceans which at present cannot be directly measured from remote sensing. In the present article, an empirical approach ... -
Mean surface fields of heat budget components over the warm pool in the Bay of Bengal during post-monsoon season
(Tata McGraw-Hill, New Delhi, India, 1999)Surface meteorological data collected onboard research vessels ORV Sagarkanya and Gaveshani during 1983-85 have been used in these studies. The analysis revealed that the Mean Sea surface temperature (SST was greater than ... -
Estimation of wave directional spreading in shallow water
(Pergamon, 1999)Wave directional spreading in shallow water is described in this paper. Waves were measured for a period of two months using the Datawell directional waverider buoy at 15m water depth on the east coast of India in the Bay ... -
2-D model for pollutant dispersion at the coastal outfall off Paradip
(Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam, India, 1999)Simulation of dispersion of the effluent discharge has been carried out using 2-D Model to verify the advection and diffusion of the pollutant patch of the proposed effluent disposal off Paradip, Orissa, India. The simulation ... -
Watermass structure at benthic disturbance site (INDEX area) and anticipated mining effects on hydro-physical properties
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, Cupertino, CA (USA), 1999)Watermass properties were obtained in the Indian Deep Sea Experiment (INDEX) area during pre- (27 May-8 July 1997) and post- (22 July-5 September, 1997) benthic disturbance periods respectively. Watermass (Temperature-Salinity: ... -
Role of the Indian Ocean on the southern oscillation, atmospheric circulation indices and monsoon rainfall over India
(Taylor and Francis, 1999)The relationship between the sea surface temperature (SST) in a small region (0-5 N; 80-85 E) in the Eastern Equatorial Indian Ocean and Indian monsoon rainfall and monsoon Indices (M1, U200) has been examined. The role ... -
A quality-control procedure for surface temperature and surface layer inversion in the XBT data archive from the Indian Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 1999)A quality control procedure has been developed and validated for Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) data from Indian Ocean archieved at Indian Oceanographic Data Centre (IODC). Two possible sources of errors are considered ... -
