Addressing environmental issues through foraminifera - Case studies from the Arabian Sea
(Centre for Earth Science Studies, 2007)
Laboratory experiment to study the effect of salinity variations on benthic foraminiferal species - Pararotalia nipponica (Asano)
(Geological Society of India, 2006)
Culture experiment has been carried out to observe the response of Pararotalia nipponica (Asano) to different salinities and its salinity tolerance limits. The specimens of P. nipponica kept in 33‰ saline water achieved ...
Effects of sudden stress due to heavy metal mercury on benthic foraminifer Rosalina leei: Laboratory culture experiment
(Elsevier, 2009)
Laboratory culture experiments were carried out to understand the response of benthic foraminifer Rosalina leei to gradual as well as sudden addition of heavy metal mercury into the media. When mercury was added suddenly, ...
Distribution of benthic foraminifera within oxygen minima zone, off central west coast, India
(Gondwana Geological Society, 2003)
A total of 128 surface sediment samples (76 grab and 52 core top samples) were analyzed for benthic foraminiferal contents from the region off Goa, India in the eastern Arabian Sea upto a water depth of 3300 m. 195 species ...
Ecological response of foraminiferal component in the sediments of Kharo Creek, Kachchh (Gujarat), west coast of India
(ONGC, India, 2000)
A total of seven surface sediment samples collected within 4.4 m to 13.9 m water depth (below chart datum) from Kharo Creek were studied for their foraminiferal content. The study reveals forty seven foraminiferal species ...
Appraisal of laboratory culture experiments on benthic foraminifera to assess/develop paleoceanographic proxies
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2007)
The laboratory culture studies, carried out on benthic foraminifera, with the aim to refine paleoceanographic / paleoclimatic or environmental application of benthic foraminifera, have been reviewed. The review includes ...
A foraminiferal testimony for the reduced adverse effects of mining in Zuari Estuary, Goa
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
This paper demonstrates the potentiality of foraminifera in detecting mining pollution. Goa's Mandovi-Zuari estuarine complex is most vulnerable to deterioration caused by the mining industry. The objective of the present ...
Palaeoceanographic implications of abundance and mean proloculus diameter of benthic foraminiferal species Epistominella exigua in sub-surface sediments from distal Bay of Bengal fan
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2005)
Temporal variation in abundance and mean proloculus diameter of the benthic foraminiferal species Epistominella exigua has been reconstructed over the last approx. 50,000 yr BP, from a core collected from the distal Bay ...
A review of the studies on pteropods from the northern Indian Ocean A review of the studies on pteropods of the northern Indian Ocean region with a report on the pteropods of Irrawaddy continental shelf off Myanmar (Burma)
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2007)
Ever since the Challenger Expedition the Indian Ocean pteropods have been recognized as important constituents of biogenic flux. Initially they were of interest only to biologists or the fishery departments and their ...
Role of 12 S mitochondrial gene on dimorphism and coiling direction in benthic foraminiferal species Pararotalia nipponica
(Gondwana Geological Society, 2003)
Despite the extensive use of foraminiferal proxies for paleoclimatic reconstructions, the question how and why morphologic variations of foraminifera are regulated by climatic changes remains a mystery. The answer to such ...
