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 ...
Restoration of deep-sea macrofauna after simulated benthic disturbance in the Central Indian Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2005)
Macrofaunal communities of the Central Indian Basin (CIB) were sampled with a spade before (June 1997), and immediately after (August 1997), and 44 months (April 2001) after a simulated benthic disturbance for polymetallic ...
Macrobenthic standing stock in the nodule areas of Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Regional Research laboratory, Bhubaneswar, 2005)
Diversity, distribution and standing stock of macrofauna in the nodule areas of Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) were studied during April 2003. The density ranged between 22 to 132 no.m super(-2) (mean: 55 + or - 37 SD, ...
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 ...
Benthic communities associated with ferromanganese nodules from the Central Indian Ocean
(Regional Research laboratory, Bhubaneswar, 2005)
Micro- meio- and macrobenthic associations with Ferromanganese nodules collected from the Central Indian Ocean were evaluated. The area of nodules ranged from 13.58 to 21 cm super (2). The density of abyssal macrobenthos ...
