Monitoring of heavy metal partitioning in reef corals of Lakshadweep Archipelago, Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2007)This paper focuses on the partitioning of trace metals in five selected coral species from Lakshadweep Archipelago, which remains as one of the least studied areas in the Indian Ocean. Based on the morphological features, ... -
Analysis of phytoplankton composition from southern Malabar Coast during the 2005 monsoon as a follow-up of September 2004 stench event
(Indian Academy of Science, 2007)One of the main objectives of this study was to follow up and see if holococcolithophore that was predominant in all of over 30 samples from the southern Malabar Coast, Karnataka, India during September-October 2004 was ... -
Screening for cytotoxic activity in a commercially important Indian seaweed, Stocheospermum marginatum

Macrofaunal diversity in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Anon, 2007)The deep-sea is characterized by four stable physical variables: hydrostatic pressure, temperature, salinity and oxygen. This harsh environment is comprised of diverse benthic faunal groups. Presently these organisms are ... -
Antibacterial activity of hemolymph of mud crab, Scylla serrata to marine and freshwater microbes
(Goa University, India, 2007) -
Nematode species diversity as indicator of stressed benthic environment along the central west coast of India
(Goa University, India, 2007)Deterioration or recovery of a marine habitat from perturbation depends on the target community subjected for exposure and its sensitivity to respond to the change. In the present study, we demonstrated the utility of ... -
Phytoplankton biomass and primary production in Delagoa Bight Mozambique: Application of remote sensing
(Elsevier, 2007)A non-linear model that uses satellite-derived chlorophyll to estimate water-column primary production was developed and tested using data from the Delagoa Bight, where the model results compared well with local estimates. ... -
'Trade-off' in Antarctic bacteria: limnetic psychrotrophs concede multiple enzyme expressions for multiple metal resistance
(Springer, 2007)The present study examines the metal and antibiotic resistant bacteria in ice and water from lakes east and west of the Indian base camp (Maitri) in Antarctica. The isolates from western and eastern lakes showed distinct ... -
Immediate effect of simulated sand mining on the variation of bacterial parameters in coastal waters of Kalbadevi Bay, Ratnagiri
(Macmillan, India, 2007)The variation in bacterial parameters of coastal waters and sediments of Kalbadevi Bay, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, India was examined for immediate response after simulated mining. Sampling was carried out at suction and ... -
Water column characteristics following the September 2004 stench event off southern Malabar coast
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2007)An unusual stench emanated from the coastal waters of southwest coast of India during September 2004 associated with an algal bloom. Water samples collected from 14 stations from the affected area after three weeks of the ... -
Microbacterium indicum sp. nov., isolated from deep-sea sediment sample from the Chagos Trench, Indian Ocean
(International Union Of Microbiological Societies, 2007)Two bacterial starins, BBH6 sup(T) and BBH9, were isolated from deep-sea sediment sample collected from the Chagos Trench, Indian Ocean, at a depth of 5904 m. The two strains were closely related in their 16S rRNA gene ... -
Potential of mercury-resistant marine bacteria for detoxification of chemicals of environmental concern
(The Japanese Society of Microbial Ecology, 2007)The hypothesis that mercury-resistant bacteria exposed to polluted environments such as coastal areas can tolerate, detoxify, or biotransform a variety of other toxicants was examined. Several mercury-resistant marine ... -

A submerged temple complex off Pindara, on the northwestern coast of Saurashtra
(Indian Society for Prehistoric and Quaternary Studies, 2007)Pindara has been an important religious centre since the early historical period as it has been recorded in several ancient texts. An onshore exploration on the northwestern coast of Saurashtra brought to light the remains ... -
Ancient technology of jetties and anchoring points along the west coast of India
(Indian Academy of Science, 2007)The Indian coast, with a long history of maritime activities, has been dotted with several ancient ports. The evidence for this exists in port-related structures on the shore and in relics lying in the sea adjacent. Marine ... -
Remains of the ancient ports and anchorage points at Miyani and Visawada, on the west coast of India: A study based on underwater investigations
(The Society for Nautical Research, 2007)The recent underwater explorations on the Saurashtra coast, Gujarat, India between Miyani on the west and Porbandar on the east yielded the existence two ports at Visawada and Miyani. Both sites are situated along the ... -
Stone sculptures of goddesses on the boats from Goa, west coast of India
(The Australasian Institute for Maritime Archaeology, 2007)Goa situated on the central west coast of India, has served as an overseas trading post since the early historic times. An onshore exploration along the river Mhadei in the north Goa on the west coast of India yielded 13 ... -
