Response of benthic fauna to different pollutants: Some case studies and relevance of benthos to environmental impact assessment
(Discovery Publishing House, 2003)
With rapid rate of urbanization, industrial growth and varieties of anthropogenic changes, the use of biological parameters as monitors of environment is being increasingly appreciated. As compared to plant, the animal ...
Effect of an oil spill from MV Sea Transporter on intertidal meiofauna at Goa, India
(Pergamon, 2002)
Short and long term effects of a fuel oil spill from a grounded ship "MV Sea Transporter" on meiofauna of a sandy beach of North Goa at Sinquerim and adjacent Cadolim and Calangute beaches along the central West Coast of ...
Spatial distribution of the nematodes in the subtidal community of the Central West Coast of India with emphasis on Tershellingia longicaudata (Nematoda: Linhomoeidae)
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
Meiofaunal nematodes are among the most important components of the benthic environment. They have unusually high abundance and diversity. They are largely understudied in many parts of the world and explored very little ...
bioSearch : A glimpse into marine biodiversity of Indian coastal waters
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2013)
bioSearch is a database application developed to digitize marine biodiversity of Indian coastal waters. A user can obtain information on organism’s binomial and common names, synonyms, taxonomy, morphology, ecology, economic ...
Ecotoxicological effect of grounded MV River Princess on the intertidal benthic organisms off Goa
(Elsevier, 2006)
The ecotoxicological effects of oil spill from the grounded vessel MV River Princess on the intertidal benthic organisms of Sinquerim–Candolim beach at Goa, India were investigated. An intertidal expanse of 1 km on either ...
Macrobenthic community structure of coastal Arabian Sea during the fall intermonsoon
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2014)
In the Arabian Sea, organic matter produced during the upwelling period reaches the seafloor by the end of the monsoon and during the fall intermonsoon period (FIM) Studies on the benthic community is lacking during this ...
Response of deep-sea macrobenthos to a small-scale environmental disturbance
(Elsevier, 2001)
To assess the possible effect of nodule mining on deep-sea environment, the Indian deep-sea environment experiment (INDEX) was undertaken in the Indian Basin. The present investigation is a part of the disturbance and ...
Response of meiofauna to immediate benthic disturbance in the Central Indian Ocean Basin
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)
Twenty-four stations (12 each, during pre- and postdisturbance studies) 5300 to 5330 m deep between 10 degrees 01 and 10 degrees 03'S latitude and between 75 degrees 59' and 76 degrees 02'E longitude were sampled to study ...
Brittle stars (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) from seamounts in the Andaman Sea (Indian Ocean): first account, with descriptions of new species
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2012)
Brittle stars were collected on two seamounts in the Andaman Back-arc Basin. Of the six species, two were new to science and are described herein as Ophioleuce longispinum sp. nov. and Ophiophyllum minimum sp. nov., in the ...
Oxygen minimum seafloor ecological (mal) functioning
(Elsevier, 2011)
Although organic matter (OM) settling on the seafloor is generally rapidly recycled, a key ecological process, large scale burial events manifest itself in the marine sedimentary record as organic carbon (Corg)-rich layers. ...
