Exploration and metamorphosis in Balanus amphitrite Darwin (Cirripedia ; Thoracica) cyprids: significance of sugars and adult extract
(Elsevier, 2002)Earlier observations have shown that sugars in solution adsorb electrostatically through –OH groups to polar groups associated with the cypris larva temporary adhesive (CTA). Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA)-binding sugar ... -
Fronts, water masses and heat content variability in the Western Indian sector of the Southern Ocean during austral summer 2004
(Elsevier, 2006)Two meridional CTD and XBT sections were covered along 45°E and 57°30’E to investigate the morphology of main fronts in the southwest Indian Ocean as a part of Indian pilot expedition to the Southern Ocean on board ORV ... -
Seasonal variation of pteropods from the Western Arabian Sea sediment trap
(Springer, 2006)Sediment trap samples collected from the Western Arabian Sea yielded a rich assemblage of intact and non-living (opaque white) pteropod tests from a water depth of 919 m during January to September 1993. Nine species of ... -
Relevance of biofilm bacteria in modulating the larval metamorphosis of Balanus amphitrite
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006)Balanus amphitrite, on its larval metamorphosis. The effect of multispecies bacterial film was also assessed. The production of different molecules by the bacteria was influenced by the nutrient media under which they were ... -
Long-term changes in microbial and biochemical parameters in the Central Indian Basin
(Elsevier, 2006)Natural kilometer-scale spatial variability and seasonal variability in deepsea sediments at ~5000 m depth was studied at 2 reference sites in the Central Indian Basin. Biochemical parameters such as the labile organic ... -
Coupling Between The North Indian Ocean And The Monsoons: A Model Based Study Of The Thermal Structure Cycling In The Central Arabian Sea
(2005)To examine the role of various intervening processes in controlling the upper ocean thermal structure in the central Arabian Sea, a 1-D mixed-layer model based on turbulent closure scheme is forced by atmospheric fluxes ... -
Glycolipids from the red alga Chondria armata (Kutz.) Okamura
(Oxford University Press, 2006)Three distinct fractions containing polar glycolipids (PF1–3) were isolated from the chloroform soluble fraction of crude methanolic extract of red alga Chondria armata (Kütz.) Okamura on gel chromatography over Sephadex ... -
Monsoonal reversal of remote sensing biases in latent heat flux over eastern Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2006)The Arabian Sea is a unique basin where a number of atmospheric and oceanographic processes occur due to the contrasting climatic conditions, which it experiences. The drastic monsoonal variability occurring in the boundary ... -
Impact of freshwater influx on microzooplankton mediated food web in a tropical estuary (Cochin backwaters - India)
(Elsevier, 2006)The diversity, abundance and biomass of microzooplankton in Cochin backwaters were studied for the first time during pre – summer monsoon to peak of summer monsoon (April to July 2003) to understand the impact of large ... -
Lack of seasonality in phytoplankton standing stock (chlorophyll a) and production in the western Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2006)The investigations in the western Bay of Bengal (BoB) during summer, winter and spring intermonsoon periods evidenced lack of pronounced seasonal variation in phytoplankton standing stock (chlorophyll a) and primary ... -
Onshore and near shore explorations along the southern Tamilnadu coast: With a view to locating ancient ports and submerged sites
(Sharada Publishing House, 2006)Tamilnadu coast is dotted with several ancient ports. An onshore exploration was carried out along the southern Tamilnadu coast and located several medieval ports near Nagarcoil and in Rameswaram island which include Puttan ... -
Nature, source and composition of volcanic ash in sediments from a fracture zone trace of Rodriguez Triple Junction in the Central Indian Basin
(Elsevier, 2006)Volcanic glasses associated with pumice, micro nodules and palagonite like lithic fragments were recovered from a volcanic terrain in a fracture zone defined as Rodriguez Triple Junction trace in the Central Indian Basin. ... -
Ancient Dwarka: Study based on recent underwater archaeological investigations
(2005)Dwarka, one of the best-studied underwater sites in India, has commanded much attraction, also because the site is considered as one of the sour Dhamas (sacred place for pilgrimage) of the Hindu religion. According to ... -
Mahabalipuram: A saga of glory to tribulations
(Freethought Nation, 2003)Mahabalipuram, a world heritage site, also famous as the sixth century centre of Pallava art and architecture in South India, was also a seaport right from the beginning of the Christian era. The epigraphical sources confirm ... -
On the semi-diagnostic computation of climatological circulation in the western tropical Indian Ocean
(India Meteorological Department, 2000)The seasonal mean climatological circulation in the Indian Ocean north of 20°S and west of 80°E during the summer and winter has been investigated using a 3-dimensional, fully non-linear, semi-diagnostic circulation model. ... -

Bottom fauna of dredging and dredge spoil disposal sites of a tropical estuary
(International Scientific Publications, 2004)Sediment characteristics and bottom fauna were investigated extensively in and around Cochin harbour at 38 sampling stations grouped into seven areas, covering an area of 130 km sup(2), during premonsoon and monsoon periods. ... -
Mysidacea (Crustacea) from the Minicoy lagoon (Lakshadweep, India) with description of a new species of Anisomysis
(Taylor & Francis, 2006)Four species of mysids collected from the Minicoy lagoon are reported. Anisomysis minicoyensis sp. nov. is distinguished from the related species by the shape of the rostrum, the relative length of the antennal scale and ... -
