Editorial: Benthic Biodiversity of the Indian Ocean
(Frontiers, 2022)
Benthic organisms are an important component of the marine biodiversity. Although the benthic organisms constitute only a fraction of the total marine biomass, their contribution to the remineralization and thus biogeochemical ...
Comparative account on phytoplankton functional community dynamics in the Alappuzha mud bank region (southwest coast of India) by HPLC-CHEMTAX and microscopy approaches
(Elsevier, 2022)
Phytoplankton community composition and its temporal dynamics were evaluated in the Alappuzha near shore waters (<15 m depth), including mud bank region, located along the southwest coast of India, using HPLC-derived marker ...
Simulated ocean acidification altered community composition and growth of a coastal phytoplankton assemblage (South West coast of India, eastern Arabian Sea)
(Springer, 2022)
Marine phytoplankton can be highly sensitive to ocean acidification; however, their responses are diverse and therefore, phytoplankton response study on the regional scale is of high research priority. The present study ...
Biogeochemistry and trophic structure of a cold seep ecosystem, offshore Krishna-Godavari basin (east coast of India)
(Elsevier, 2022)
Active cold seep sites associated with shallow gas hydrates were recently reported from Krishna-Godavari (K-G) basin, off east coast of India. Benthic fauna including chemosymbiotic bivalves (genera Bathymodiolus, Acharax, ...
Year-to-year variability of oil pollution along the Eastern Arabian Sea: The impact of COVID-19 imposed lock-downs
(Elsevier, 2022)
This study investigated the year-to-year variability in the occurrence, abundance and sources of oil spills in the Eastern Arabian Sea (EAS) using sentinel-1 imagery and identified the potential oil spills vulnerable zones. ...
Evaluation of a few wave energy converters for the Indian shelf seas based on available wave power
(Elsevier, 2022)
The energy resource assessment at a location is crucial for designing wave energy projects. However, there is a divergence in wave energy converter (WEC) design due to diversity in wave climate, energy availability, and ...
Molecular Identification and Characterization of Sugar and Peptide Carriers in the Giant Tiger Prawn, Penaeus monodon
(CRC Press, London, 2022)
Individuals of the giant tiger prawn Penaeus monodon were collected at a local shrimp farm in Goa. The expression and the tissue distribution of two transport proteins involved, respectively, in sugar and peptide absorption, ...
Seasonal cycle of zooplankton standing stock inferred from ADCP backscatter measurements in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2022)
We use ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) backscatter, measured during October 2012 to December 2020 at three locations on the continental slope in the eastern Arabian Sea (EAS), to study the seasonal variation in ...
Spectral wave characteristics in the coastal waters of the central west coast of India during tropical cyclone Kyarr
(Springer, 2022)
The study presents the assessment of spectral wave conditions in the coastal waters of the central west coast of India based on data from waverider buoys at two locations during the passage of tropical cyclone Kyarr. Due ...
Approach Towards Deep-Sea Mining: Current Status and Future Prospects
(Springer, Cham, 2022)
Deep-sea mineral resources within and beyond the national jurisdictions offer several opportunities for exploration and possible exploitation owing to their potential as alternate source of metals such as Ni, Cu, Co, rare ...
