Potential ballast water transfer of organisms from the west to the east coast of India: Insights through on board sampling
(Elsevier, 2018)
The possibility of translocation of organisms via ship's ballast water (BW) during a voyage from Hazira on the west coast to Visakhapatnam on the east coast of India was assessed. Samples of BW during the voyage and discharge ...
Changes in the ballast water tank bacterial community during a trans-sea voyage: Elucidation through next generation DNA sequencing
(Academic Press, 2020)
Ballast water (BW) mediated bioinvasion is one of the greatest threats to the health of aquatic ecosystems. Bacteria, unlike higher organisms, are transferred in large numbers through BW. Owing to their abundance and ...
Effects of salinity on cellular growth and exopolysaccharide production of freshwater Synechococcus strain CCAP1405
(Oxford University Press, 2018)
The picocyanobacterium Synechococcus is ubiquitous in freshwater and high-saline marine ecosystems. The cellular response of freshwater Synechococcus to salinity variations is not well understood. Herein, we compare cellular ...
Macrobenthic diversity and community structure at Cochin Port, an estuarine habitat along the southwest coast of India
(2020)
Estuarine habitats are highly dynamic owing to tidal and seasonal changes in physical and chemical properties, which, in turn, have a profound influence on the diversity and community structure of its living components. ...
Culturable epibacteria of the marine sponge Ircinia fusca: Temporal variations and their possible role in the epibacterial defense of the host
(Inter-Research, 2004)
The influence of environmental changes on the epibacterial population of the marine sponge Ircinia fusca (Carter) was evaluated by using a bacterial culture-based approach. Sponge surface-associated bacteria were isolated, ...
A new record of Scylla olivacea (Dcapoda, Bachyura, Prtunidae) from Goa, central west coast of India – A comparative diagnosis
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2013)
Taxonomic studies on mud crabs (Scylla) reveal considerable ambiguity in species identification owing to overlap of morphological characters. Present study consists a new record of Scylla olivacea along with a comparative ...
Recruitment of the barnacle Balanus amphitrite Darwin in a tropical estuary: implications of environmental perturbation, reproduction and larval ecology
(Cambridge University Press, 2005)
Phytoplankton blooms are known to influence barnacle recruitment and in boreal regions spring blooms work as an important trigger. Close to the west coast of the sub-continent of India, blooms tend to be triggered by breaks ...
Responses of the picophytoplankton community to temperature fronts in the northeastern Arabian Sea during the northeast monsoon
(Elsevier, 2018)
We investigated the responses of the picophytoplankton (< 3-μm) community to a temperature filament and front through high resolution spatial (~ 1 NM) sampling (November-23 to December-11, 2012) in the northeastern Arabian ...
Tracking the history of dinoflagellate cyst assemblages in sediments from the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2012)
In order to trace the history of dinoflagellate cyst assemblages and provide new insights in to Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) dynamics in monsoon influenced tropical environments, sediment cores were collected from four different ...
Changes in the occurrance of hard substratum fauna: A case study from Mumbai harbour, India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)
Intensive sampling was carried out in the marine environment of Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru ports to investigate the composition of benthic sessile population on three different occasions during 2001 to 2002. This study ...
