Biochemical changes during larval development in the short neck clam, Paphia malabarica Chemnitz
Gireesh, R.; Biju, A.; Muthiah, P. (Blackwell Publishing, 2009)Biochemical compositions were determined for eggs, D-shaped larvae, umbo larvae and pediveliger of the short neck clam Paphia malabarica Chemnitz. Spawned eggs were composed of 63.2% protein, 25.4% lipid and 11.4% carbohydrate. ... -
Biodiversity of chaetognaths of the Andaman Sea, Indian Ocean.
Nair, V.R.; Gireesh, R. (Elsevier, 2010)Andaman Sea is a prominent biodiversity hotspot in the Indian Ocean. Stratified zooplankton collections were taken at 33 locations during 2003-2006. Average density of chaetognaths was 8.5/msup(3) in open ocean and 41.6/m ... -
Distribution, reproductive biology and biochemical composition of Rhopalophthalmus indicus (Crustacea: Mysida) from a tropical estuary (Cochin backwater) in India
Biju, A.; Gireesh, R.; Panampunnayil, S.U. (Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2010)Distribution, reproductive biology and biochemical composition of Rhopalophthalmus indicus were investigated based on samples collected over a period of one year from Cochin backwater. Rhopalophthalmus indicus was recorded ... -
Effects of copper on development and survival rate of Paphia malabarica Chemnitz larvae under low saline condition
Gireesh, R.; Gopinathan, C.P. (Springer, 2009)Venerid clam, Paphia malabarica Chemnitz, is the commercially exploited species distributed exclusively in Vembanad Lake and Ashtamudi estuary, along the south west coast of India. In this study, the survival rate and ... -
Geophysical characteristics of the Ninetyeast Ridge–Andaman island arc/trench convergent zone
Subrahmanyam, C.; Gireesh, R.; Chand, S.; KameshRaju, K.A.; Rao, D.G. (Elsevier, 2008)The convergence tectonics of the Ninetyeast Ridge (NER), upon the Andaman island arc–trench system is examined through an analysis of ETOPO2 bathymetry, satellite-derived free air gravity and seismic data. Oblique subduction ... -
Seasonal abundance, ecology, reproductive biology, and biochemical composition of Mesopodopsis orientalis W.M. Tattersall (Mysidacea) from a tropical estuary (Cochin Backwater) in India
Biju, A.; Gireesh, R.; Jayalakshmi, K.J.; Haridevi, C.K.; Panampunnayil, S.U. (Koninklijke Brill, 2009)Seasonal abundance, life history, and biochemical composition of Mesopodopsis orientalis were investigated based on samples collected over a period of one year in a tropical estuary, i.e., Cochin backwater. M. orientalis ... -
The distribution of the chaetognath population and its interaction with environmental characteristics in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea.
Nair, V.R.; Kusum, K.K.; Gireesh, R.; Nair, M. (Taylor and Francis, 2015)The Bay of Bengal (BoB) and the Arabian Sea (AS), the two major ocean basins in the north Indian Ocean, share similarities in geographical and meteorological characteristics but differ in hydrographic characteristics and ... -
Two new species of Chaetognatha from the Andaman Sea, Indian Ocean
Nair, V.R.; Panampunnayil, S.U.; Pillai, H.U.K.; Gireesh, R. (Taylor & Francis, 2008)Two new chaetognath species, Krohnitta balagopali and Sagitta meenakshiae, are described from the Andaman Sea (Indian Ocean). K. balagopali is easily distinguishable from the other two known species of the genus by its ...
