Nitrogen pollution is a widespread and growing problem in the coastal waters of South Asia yet ecological impacts on region’s coral ecosystems are currently poorly known understood. hosts just under 7% global reef coverage but has experienced significant loss recent decades. The extent to which this ecosystem decline at regional scale can be attributed multiple threats posed by nitrogen been largely overlooked literature. Here, we assess evidence for corals central Indian Ocean India, Sri...
Abstract The present study reports the first zoogeographical record of squat lobster Munidopsis lauensis Baba and de Saint Laurent, 1992 from a cold-seep site in Krishna-Godavari Basin (Bay Bengal), Northern Indian Ocean. Molecular analysis partial mitochondrial gene coding for cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI mtDNA), 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) validated its identity. observation extends geographical distribution to Additionally, molecular barcodes (COI) were generated scobina Alcock,...
Mangroves, critical coastal wetlands, face global degradation, necessitating conservation and restoration efforts. This study evaluates mangrove in the Adyar Estuary, Chennai, along Bay of Bengal, degraded by urbanization anthropogenic pressures. It afforested mangroves' structural development, restored ecological functions, factors enabling their establishment. Spanning 56.6 acres, estuary hosts six species, with Avicennia marina dominant. The mangroves showed a median density 3900 trees ha...
This study reports an updated checklist of marine shrimps found along the Indian coast, including Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar Islands. A total 364 species classified under 128 genera belonging to order Decapoda is reported, thus adding 27 existing 337 species. Marine are two suborders Decapoda, viz., Dendrobranchiata Pleocyemata, account for 155 (42.6 %) 209 (57.4 these species, respectively. Pleocyemata represented by three infraorders, Axiidea, Caridea Stenopodidea, while has a...
Our study documents the outbreak of a coral-killing sponge Terpios hoshinota in coral reefs Lakshadweep archipelago and highlights that it has further extended its territory into isolated atolls Arabian Sea maybe growing threat to existing region.
Species checklists enlist the species available within defined geographical region and thus serve as essential input for developing conservation management strategies. The fields of biology ecology confront challenge inflated biodiversity, attributed to non-recognition taxonomic inconsistencies such synonyms, alternate representation, emendations etc. Critical review distributional records Phylum Echinodermata from Indian waters subsequent validation names with World Register Marine (WoRMS)...
We compile an up-to-date checklist of 26 species marine snakes known from the Indian coastlines. furnish information on original orthography, authorship, date publication, current binominal representation, synonymy and chresonymy lists for each recognized taxon. In addition, we provide details name-bearing types, repository type locality (both subsequent restrictions where applicable) prevailing nomen all species. summarise history research Linnaeus to present day, including taxonomic...
A community-based crab-fattening project was adopted by the womenfolk of Vellapatti fishing village in Tuticorin coast, Gulf Mannar for proper utilization their available resources and leisure time income generation. The mud crab, Scylla serrata blue swimming Portunus pelagicus were chosen crab fattening which is ‘First its kind’ India women are successful creating alternate through this project. Between these two crabs, P. more attractive due to short span low price quoted on molted crabs...
Abstract An emphasis on sustainable marine fish production has paved the way for enactment of Marine Fisheries Regulation Acts and subsequent regulations in India. A closed season ban fishing been one very few successful regulatory measures since its introduction 2001 Tamil Nadu. Since 2017, period extended from 45 to 60 days east coast India, ecosystem‐based fisheries management. This study analyses socioeconomic impacts change (closed season) across four coastal zones For past 10 years,...
