Effect of ageing on survival of benthic diatom propagules
(Elsevier, 2007)
A comparison of viable benthic diatom propagules based on the observations recorded immediately and after 5 years of ageing at 5oC is presented. The number of viable benthic diatom propagules decreased with ageing. However, ...
Distribution and abundance of benthic macroorganisms in and around Visakhapatnam Harbour on the east coast of India
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2015)
Benthic communities form an important component of the marine food chain. Their occurrence also provides information on the health of the ecosystem. A study was carried out to understand the distribution and abundance of ...
Exploration and metamorphosis in Balanus amphitrite Darwin (Cirripedia ; Thoracica) cyprids: significance of sugars and adult extract
(Elsevier, 2002)
Earlier observations have shown that sugars in solution adsorb electrostatically through –OH groups to polar groups associated with the cypris larva temporary adhesive (CTA). Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA)-binding sugar ...
Tiniest primary producers in the marine environment: An appraisal from the context of waters around India
(Current Science Association, 2011)
Phytoplankton (0.2 mm - 2 mm) are the major primary producers in the marine environment thereby forming a basic link in the marine food web. They are categorized into different groups depending on their size range. Cells ...
Difficulties in obtaining representative samples for compliance with the Ballast Water Management Convention
(Elsevier, 2013)
As implementation of the Ballast Water Convention draws nearer a major challenge is the development of protocols which accurately assess compliance with the D-2 Standard. Many factors affect the accuracy of assessment: ...
समुद्री अम्लीकरण का जीव और कीट डिंभको पर प्रभाव
(National Institute of Oceanography (CSIR), India, 2012)
Skeletonema (Bacillariophyceae) in Indian waters: A reappraisal
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)
The planktonic diatom genus Skeletonema is common in Indian coastal waters. Recent taxonomic studies have uncovered high diversity in this genus, and it is expected that several species occur also in the highly diverse ...
Synergistic effect of elevated temperature, pCO2 and nutrients on marine biofilm
(Elsevier, 2016)
Natural marine biofilms provide signatures of the events that occur over a period of time and can be used as bioindicators of environmental changes. Hence, the effects of temperature (30 and 34 °C), pCO<sub>2</sub> (400 ...
Variations in phytoplankton community in a monsoon-influenced tropical estuary
(Springer, 2011)
In a monsoon-affected tropical estuary, oscillations in freshwater discharge during monsoon shifted the phytoplankton blooms from those adapted to low salinity to high salinity and vice versa. Salinity stratification during ...
Dinoflagellate community structure from the stratified environment of the Bay of Bengal, with special emphasis on harmful algal bloom species
(Springer, 2011)
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have been documented along the coasts of India and the ill effects felt by society at large. Most of these reports are from the Arabian Sea, west coast of India, whereas its counterpart, the Bay ...
