Abstract The escalating issue of microplastic (MP) pollution poses a significant threat to the marine environment due increasing plastic production and improper waste management. current investigation was aimed at quantifying MP concentration on 25 beaches Maharashtra coast, India. Beach sediments (1 kg) were collected from each site, with five replicates evaluate extent MPs. samples homogenized, three 20 g replicas prepared for subsequent analysis. Later, sieved, MPs extracted using...
Microplastic (MP) pollution is a prevalent and global threat to fish. MP contamination was investigated in Harpadon nehereus collected from the principal fishing harbors of India’s northwest coast. A total 213 specimens were major Gujarat state (Jakhau, Okha, Jaffrabad) Maharashtra (Mumbai). In laboratory, morphometric parameters specimens, such as length body weight, measured. The analyzed for isolation using previously documented protocol. MPs quantified under stereomicroscope, physical...
Microplastic (MP) in seafood is a growing area of food safety. In the present study, MP contamination commercially important crab Portunus sanguinolentus was assessed. A total 300 specimens were collected from three principal fishing harbors Gujarat. The analyzed for MPs isolation using previously published protocol. dissected, and organs such as gut gills placed separately beaker. organic tissues digested 10% KOH. After digestion, flotation filtration processes carried out extraction MPs....
Abstract Plastic pollution poses a pervasive threat to ecosystems worldwide, jeopardizing marine life, contaminating water sources, and perpetuating global environmental crisis. Spatial temporal distribution of beach debris was quantitatively assessed on three recreational beaches in Gujarat State, India. A total six categories were recorded with mean 0.9 items/m 2 number 3.62 g/m weight. Mean concentrations weight per item did not vary significantly between study sites. Highest observed...
Microplastics (MPs) are pervasive pollutants in the marine environment, exhibiting persistence coastal sediment over extended periods. However, mechanism of their uptake by organisms and distribution habitat is less understood. The objective present study was to investigate presence MP contamination burrow sediment, feeding pellets, tissue
The present study focused on investigating the population structure and breeding biology of a species Porcellanid crab, Petrolisthes boscii (Audouin, 1826). Evaluating ecology is essential considering its crucial role in ecological functions including nutrition cycle potential vulnerability to environmental stressors. samples were collected over period 12 consecutive months (from March 2019 February 2020) an area 500 m 2 during low tide, utilizing catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) method when...
Abstract In the present study species of genus Byblis Boeck, 1871, found in India are discussed. Previously, two : B. daleyi (Giles, 1890b) and lepta 1890a) were recorded from India. The taxonomy world distribution previously reported is discussed study. Additionally, a new kachchhensis sp. nov. also described based on specimens collected Gujarat state, This differentiated its closely related calisto Imbach, 1967 by having large eyes placed very close to each other entire telson.
The identity of the leucosiid crabs, Philyra sagittifera (Alcock, 1896) and P. concinnus Ghani & Tirmizi, 1995, originally described from Pakistan is clarified. Redescription lectotype male fresh material both species collected Persian Gulf revealed that these two show significant morphological differences generic characters sensu stricto other allied genera in possessing three broad tuberculated ridges united to form a "broad-arrow" pointing forwards on carapace, G1 with apical process...
