  Molluscan Community: A Potential Sink of Carbon

  By Pardis Fazli, Harekrishna Jana, Ankita Mitra, Abhijit Mitra, Prosenjit Pramanick, Nabonita Pal, Sufia Zaman

  Abstract: Stored carbon in dominant molluscan species collected from three regions of the Indian subcontinent (Hooghly estuary in West Bengal, Mandovi estuary in Goa and Kalapet coast in Puducherry) was analyzed both in shell and flesh. The accumulation was more in the flesh (~35%) compared to the shell (~12%) irrespective of stations, seasons and species. Pronounced spatial variation of stored carbon was observed, which confirms the role of environmental variables on …

  Forecasting Heavy Metal Level on the Basis of Acidification Trend in the Major Estuarine System of Indian Sundarbans

  By Sufia Zaman, Utpal Kumar De, Prosenjit Pramanick, Subhasree Thakur, Gahul Amin, Pardis Fazli, Abhijit Mitra

  Abstract: The authors present here the temporal oscillations of aquatic pH, zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) in the ambient media of Hooghly estuary of Indian Sundarbans and forecast values of these variables in response to acidification phenomenon. The forecast has been done on the basis of 30 years of real-time data (1984–2013). The exponentialsmoothening-based forecast reflects the gradual lowering of pH in the estuarine water that has considerable impact …
