Effect of oxygen manipulations on benthic foraminifera: A preliminary experiment
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2006)
Three sediment cores were collected at 50 m water depth on the west coast of India, off Ratnagiri, and were subjected to oxygen manipulations maintaining natural temperature and salinity. The objective was to understand ...
Relict benthic foraminifera in surface sediments off central east coast of India as indicator of sea level changes
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2007)
An attempt has been made to reconstruct sea level variations along the central east coast of India during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene. A total of 39 surface sediment samples collected from water depth range of ...
Relict faunal testimony for sea-level fluctuations off Myanmar (Burma)
(The Palaeonlological Society of India, 2008)
The distribution and ecological significance of the relict benthic foraminiferal assemblage found in the study area off Myanmar is discussed here. Of the 126 surface sediments studied for foraminiferal content, relict ...
Foraminifera in surface sediments of Mandovi River Estuary: Indicators for mining pollution and high sea stand in Goa, India
(Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2005)
Foraminiferal characteristics of 11 surface sediment samples collected from the Mandovi estuary during 2001 have been compared with similar data based on samples collected during 1994. The study reveals drastic fall in ...
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 ...
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 ...
Application of foraminifers in ecotoxicology: Retrospect, perspect and prospect
(Elsevier, 2006)
In view of the extensive use of foraminifers for the pollution monitoring especially their unmatched utility in deciphering the temporal variation in the type and concentration of pollutants at a given location, the ...
