Importance of sieve size in deep-sea macrobenthic studies
(Taylor & Francis, 2009)
The deep-sea is well known for high benthic biodiversity despite being a low-food environment. However, most deep-sea organisms are very small in size as an adaptation to food limitation. Macrofauna are generally considered ...
Composition of macrobenthos from the central Indian Ocean Basin
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2009)
The deep sea is well known for its high faunal diversity. But the current interest in its abundant polymetallic nodules, poses a threat to the little known benthic organisms surviving in this unique environment. The present ...
Macrofaunal diversity in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Anon, 2007)
The deep-sea is characterized by four stable physical variables: hydrostatic pressure, temperature, salinity and oxygen. This harsh environment is comprised of diverse benthic faunal groups. Presently these organisms are ...
