Organic enrichment and benthic fauna–Some ecological consideration.
(NISCAIR, 2014)
In the present study, synoptic data on the structure of macroinfauna and total organic content of sediment collected from different sources were analyzed to look for patterns of association consistent with conceptual model ...
Effect of tropical rainfall in structuring the macrobenthic community of Mandovi estuary, west coast of India
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2013)
Macrofaunal community structure is determined by a number of environmental variables. The riverine run-off during the monsoon brings about drastic changes in the physico-chemical parameters of a tropical estuary. The aim ...
Deep sea benthos of the western and central Indian Ocean
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 1992)
Quantitative investigations on deep sea benthos from 112 stations between lat. 21 degrees N-21 degrees S and long. 51 degrees E-94 degrees E and in the depth range of 1500 to 6000 m, revealed a rich biota having relatively ...
First record of Hyalascus (Hexactinellida: Rossellidae) from the Indian Ocean, with description of a new species from a volcanic seamount in the Andaman Sea
(Magnolia Press, 2010)
A new species of Hyalascus is described from the submarine volcanic crater seamount of Andaman Back-arc Basin, Indian Ocean. The genus was previously known in the Pacific Ocean only
State of knowledge of coastal and marine biodiversity of Indian Ocean countries
(Public Library of Science, 2011)
The Indian Ocean (IO) extends over 30% of the global ocean area and is rimmed by 36 littoral and 11 hinterland nations sustaining about 30% of the world’s population. The landlocked character of the ocean along its northern ...
Biodiversity and community structure of freeliving marine nematodes from the Larsemann Ice Shelf, East Antarctica
(Current Science Association, 2010)
Subtidal (500-700 m) meiofaunal assemblage of the Larsemann Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, is described with special emphasis on the free-living marine nematodes. The sampling was conducted with a 25 x 25 x 40 cm VSNL Spade ...
Current status and scope of coral reef research in India: A bio-ecological perspective
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 2017)
Coral reefs are staggeringly diverse and complex ecosystem. But, this tropical wonder is currently degrading at alarming rates and, facing a high risk of extinction due to several anthropogenic and natural disturbances. ...
Genotoxicity of two heavy metal compounds: lead nitrate and cobalt chloride in Polychaete Perinereis cultrifera
(Springer, 2017)
The present study explores the in vivo and in vitro genotoxic effects of lead nitrate, [Pb(NO3)2] a recognized environmental pollutant and cobalt chloride (CoCl2), an emerging environmental pollutant in polychaete Perinereis ...
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 ...
M. V. sea transporter oil spill and its environmental impact assessment
(National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, 1994)
On 5 June 1994, ore carrier M.V. Sea Transporter, was drifted to Sinquerim-Goa coast from Mormugao harbour in the squall that hit the Goa coast and grounded on the rocks, a few metres from the Sinquerim beach. The ship ...
