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...
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)...
The continuous use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture field is highly toxic to the nature and also disturbs soil living beneficial microorganisms. Seaweeds are well known commercially available marine plants it has many eco-friendly applications. Thus present study was carried out develop a plant growth promoting seaweed liquid fertilizer (SLF) for agricultural crop plants. In this eight different seaweeds such as Ulva fasciata, Enteromorpha intestinalis, Dictyota dichotoma, Sargassum...
