Distribution and abundance of benthic macroorganisms in and around Visakhapatnam Harbour on the east coast of India
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2015)
Benthic communities form an important component of the marine food chain. Their occurrence also provides information on the health of the ecosystem. A study was carried out to understand the distribution and abundance of ...
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 ...
Mumbai harbour, India: Gateway for introduction of marine organisms
(Springer, 2010)
Ships have been identified as one of the important vectors in the translocation of organisms from one bioregion to another leading to bioinvasion. In this context, harbours serve as a gateway for the introduction of alien ...
Synechococcus as an indicator of trophic status in the Cochin backwaters, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)
Eutrophication is a major problem in coastal water bodies. Information about the trophic status of water bodies will enable proper management of coastal ecosystems. In this regard, biological organisms which are sensitive ...
First record of the freshwater puffer Tetraodon fluviatilis fluviatilis from the coastal waters of Goa, west coast of India
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2013)
Present study describes a new record of the freshwater green spotted puffer Tetraodon fluviatilis fluviatilis based on detailed examination of four specimens collected from the bay-estuarine regions of Goa. Differences ...
A new species of portunid crab of the genus Charybdis (De Haan, 1833) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura) from Goa, India
(Taylor & Francis, 2010)
A new species of portunid crab, Charybdis (Charybdis) goaensis sp. nov. is described from Goa, west coast of India. It differs from its closest congener, Charybdis (Charybdis) philippinensis in possessing bluntly triangular ...
Dinoflagellate cyst assemblages in recent sediments of Visakhapatnam harbour, east coast of India: Influence of environmental characteristics
(Elsevier, 2013)
The distribution and abundance of dinoflagellate cysts in recent sediments from Visakhapatnam harbour, east coast of India was investigated and compared with sediment characteristics and physico-chemical variables of the ...
Application of Fluorescence in situ hybridization-Flow cytometry (FISH-FCM) technique to detect and quantify Vibrio cholerae population from different geographic regions
(ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (COST), 2018)
Rapid and species-specific detection, and quantification of pathogenic bacteria are fundamental for monitoring and assessment of the risk they pose to any ecosystem. The study employed Vibrio cholerae, a human pathogen ...
Interactions of bacteria with diatoms: Influence on natural marine biofilms.
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014)
Interactions between microfouling components influence the biofilm community and the cascading events, thus playing an important role in the biofouling process. Bacteria and diatoms are among the dominant forms reported ...
New records of marine fishes from the coral reefs and deep waters of Gulf of Mannar, India
(Scientific Society of Szczecin, 2017)
The coral reefs and deep water ecosystems of Gulf of Mannar support diverse assemblages of marine fishes vulnerable to indiscriminate mechanized fishing. However, lack of comprehensive information on the fish diversity of ...
