Vertical migratory rhythms of benthic diatoms in a tropical intertidal sand flat: Influence of irradiance and tides
(Springer, 2004)
Vertical migratory behavior of benthic diatoms is one of the adaptive strategies employed for a life in intertidal habitats. Irradiance and tides are considered to be the key factors governing vertical migration. Experiments ...
Temporal variation of diatom benthic propagules in a monsoon-influenced tropical estuary
(Elsevier, 2008)
Temporal variations in the diatom benthic propagule (DBP) community and their role in the phytoplankton community in a monsoon-affected tropical estuary, Zuari estuary, Goa (India) are presented. The DBP from the sediments ...
Effect of hydrodynamic cavitation on zooplankton: A tool for disinfection
(Elsevier, 2008)
Application of hydrodynamic cavitation for disinfection of water is gaining momentum, as it provides environmentally and economically sound options. In this effort, the effect of cavitating conditions created by differential ...
Biofilm diatom community structure: Influence of temporal and substratum variability
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
Diatoms, which are early autotrophic colonisers, are an important constituent of the biofouling community in the marine environment. The effects of substratum and temporal variations on the fouling diatom community structure ...
Butyltins in water, biofilm, animals and sediments of the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2004)
Biofilm, fish, oyster, mussel, clam, surface seawater, suspended particulate matter (SPM), and sediment samples were collected from marine and/or estuarine waters of the west coast of India. These samples were analysed for ...
Influence of environmental settings on the prevalence of Trichodesmium spp. in the Bay of Bengal
(Inter Research, 2008)
Trichodesmium, an important marine nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria, is widespread in tropical waters and contributes substantially to the global chemical cycles by new production. The interesting and intriguing feature of ...
Larval development and metamorphosis in Balanus amphitrite Darwin (Cirripedia; Thoracica): Significance of food concentration, temperature and nucleic acids
(Elsevier, 2001)
The influence of food concentration (Chaetoceros calcitrans at 1 x 10 sup(5) and 2 x 10 sup(5) cells ml sup(-1)) and temperature (20 degrees C and 30 degrees C) on the nucleic acid content of the nauplii and the cyprids ...
Effect of ageing on survival of benthic diatom propagules
(Elsevier, 2007)
A comparison of viable benthic diatom propagules based on the observations recorded immediately and after 5 years of ageing at 5oC is presented. The number of viable benthic diatom propagules decreased with ageing. However, ...
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 ...
Comparison of nutritional status of field and laboratory reared Balanus amphitrite Darwin (Cirripedia: Thoracica) larvae and implication of starvation
(Elsevier, 2002)
Experiments were carried out to evaluate the influence of rearing temperature and food concentration (20 and 30 degrees C, 1x10 sup(5) and 2x10 sup(5) cells ml sup(-1)) on the starvation threshold and nucleic acid content ...
