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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Contrasting Impact of Viral Activity on Prokaryotic Populations in the Coastal and Offshore Regions of the Eastern Arabian Sea
(MDPI, 2022)
Viral processes in the coastal and offshore regions of the Eastern Arabian Sea (west coast of India) and their contribution of viral lysis to the organic carbon and nitrogen pool was examined. Water samples were collected ...
The polymers and their additives in particulate plastics: What makes them hazardous to the fauna?
(Elsevier, 2022)
Due to the increasing concerns on global ecosystems and human health, the environmental risks posed by microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have become an important topic of research. Their ecological impacts on ...
Bioprospecting of Marine Fungi
(Springer, Singapore, 2022)
Marine fungi are eukaryotic organisms occurring in water and sediments as parasitic and/or symbiotic on marine flora and fauna. The Indian subcontinent has a rich marine habitat, and fungi have high diversity and distribution ...
