Influence of bacterial exopolymers and the adult extract of Balanus amphitrite and Cthamalus sp. on cyprid metamorphosis of Balanus amphitrite
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)
Settlement of barnacle, a major fouling organism is believed to be controlled to a great extent by substratum characteristics such as, presence of conspecific adults or "gregariousness" inducing factors. Exopolymers secreted ...
Short term response of plankton community to nutrient enrichment in central eastern Arabian Sea: Elucidation through mesocosm experiments
(Elsevier, 2021)
Oligotrophic waters (OW), generally favour longer food chain facilitated by the microbial loop. In such ecosystems, physical mixing (e.g. upwelling, and winter convection) inject nutrients and propagules from subsurface ...
Fouling diatom community with reference to substratum variability in tropical marine environment
(US Office of Naval Research, 1997)
Diatoms are the earliest autotrophic colonizers and are responsible for the major input of energy in the form of reduced carbon to the surfce. However, information regarding the population structure of diatoms in theearly ...
