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 ...
New records of marine water mites (Acari: Hydrachnidia: Pontarachnidae) from the Pujada Bay (West Pacific Ocean) and the Andaman Sea (Indian Ocean)
(Entomolgical Society Of Serbia, 2009)
Water mites of the family Pontarachnidae Koenike have been found in tropical and temperate littoral habitats bordering the Mediterranean Sea, Aral Sea, Caspian Sea, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Red Sea, and Indian Ocean. ...
A comparative study of macrobenthic community from harbours along the central west coast of India
(Springer, 2009)
Harbours are heavily stressed coastal habitats characterised by high concentration of contaminant and low diversity of benthic community. The west coast of India harbours most of the major harbours compared to the east ...
New species of marine littoral mites (Acari: Oribatida) from Taiwan and India, with a key to the world's species of Fortuynia and notes on their distribution
(Academia Sinica, 2009)
Species of the small oribatid mite genus <i>Fortuynia</i> (Ameronothroidea: Fortuyniidae) mostly inhabit marine littoral zones in the tropics and subtropics. In the present paper, we describe 2 new species, <i>Fortuynia ...
Evolving trends in biosciences: Multi-purpose proteins - GFP and GFP-like proteins
(Current Science Association, 2009)
The sea is considered as holding a clue to many known and unknown biologically active compounds. A family of protein named Green Fluorescent Proteins (GFP)-like proteins, initially isolated from marine organisms, started ...
New records of Thecacineta cothurnioides and Trematosoma rotunda (Ciliophora, Suctorea) as epibionts on nematodes from the Indian Ocean
(Not clear, 2009)
This article deals with the report of two suctorian ciliates species viz. Thecacineta cothurnioides Collin, 1909 and Trematosoma rotunda (Allgen, 1952) as epibionts on Tricoma sp. and Pseudochromadora sp. (Nematoda) ...
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 ...
Miramar (Goa) Beach Management Project: An Oceanographic Evaluation
(IK International, New Delhi, 2009)
Miramar beach is a faunal storehouse as 50 macrobenthic species are recorded. About 80% meiobenthic communities and >50% macrobenthic communities inhabit the top 5 cm section of the intertidal zone. As such, mechanical ...
Sting ray: A marvellous fish
(National Inst. of Oceanography (CSIR); India, 2009)
The life cycle of the free-living marine nematode Innocuonema tentabunda De Man 1890
(Istituto per la Protezione delle Piante - Sez. di BARI, 2009)
The free-living marine nematode Innocuonema tentabunda was collected from the mangrove sediment of a mud-flat at Chorao Island, Goa, India, and reared in the laboratory to investigate its life cycle at 27 plus or minus 2 ...
