Effect of Dust Storm on Phytoplankton Productivity in Arabian Sea
Abstract: Dust storm plays an important role as it triggers phytoplankton in the ocean by adding nutrients. In the present study, an attempt has been made to understand the role and relation between dust storm and phytoplankton concentration. Chlorophyll-a concentrations are an indicator of phytoplankton abundance and its biomass. Satellite data gives daily information on Chlorophyll-a concentration and so as phytoplankton abundance in the ocean as well as information about dust …

Slope Stability At The Juncture Of Dredged Berth Pocket & Reclaimed Earth Embankment During Turbulence Caused by Rotation of Ship’s Propeller
Abstract: For accepting vessels with large drafted deepening of the berth pocket at any jetty is necessary by dredging. During berthing of ships, the bed soil particles in berth pocket gets eroded due to critical velocity, due to turbulence of the sea water in the pocket, caused by propeller’s motion and also due to eddies formed during trimming of vessel. Such disturbances in bed soil particles and the energy in the …

Micro-atolls of the Gulf of Kachchh: Environmental Interactions and Adaptations of the Corals-an Anecdote
Abstract: The corals and coral reefs exhibit remarkable shapes and size in the marine realm. Any extant morphometric feature of any creature is a reflection of its interaction with the ambient environment and gradual evolutionary processes. The present study has for the first time revealed the occurrence of the panoply which is outcome of the evolutionary fitness mechanism, acquired by the coral colonies in the study area–Gulf of Kachchh, Arabian Sea. …

Methanogenesis and Methane Flux in Marine Sediment
Abstract: ABSTRACTAnoxic environments methanogenesis is the key terminal biochemical process involved in the mineralization of organic matter which is catalyzed by methanogens. The present investigation was carried out to estimate the methanogenesis, methane flux of marine sediments and to study the effect of various parameters over the growth of marine methanogens in Arabian Sea deep sediment samples. The results showed best substrate for the methanogens activity to be formate (30.59 ngmol− …
