Effect of CO driven ocean acidification on calcification, physiology and ovarian cells of tropical sea urchin A microcosm approach.

In the present study, we depict the structural modification of test minerals, physiological response and ovarian damage in the tropical sea urchin using microcosm CO (Carbon dioxide) perturbation experiment. were exposed to hypercapnic conditions with four different pH levels using CO gas bubbling method that reflects ambient level (pH 8.2) and elevated pCO scenarios (pH 8.

Pharmacognostic Assesment of the Endemic and Vulnerable Medicinal Climber- (Lam.) Gagnep. var. Gamble and Its Antibacterial Activity.

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate a meticulous pharmacognostic cram is to supplement constructive information with regard to its identification, characterization, and standardization of endemic and endangered medicinal climber var. and also screening the antibacterial activity of this climber.

Materials And Methods: The morphological characters of study plant, microscopic examination of leaf powder, anatomy of young stem, physicochemical analysis of plant powder, extractive values, phytochemical analysis, powder with different chemical reagents, fluorescence analysis of plant powder, and other World Health Organization (WHO) recommended for standardization were analyzed.

First occurrence of (Bleeker, 1857) (Isopoda: Cirolanidae) on coral reef fishes along the Tuticorin coastal water, Gulf of Mannar.

Isopod Parasites are considered as a major threat to the fishing industry, due to rigorous disease outbreaks. The parasites from the two economically important reef fish family Lutjanidae and Serranidae are analyzed i.e.

First record of sp. an ectoparasitic isopod isolated from the coral reef fish, collected from the Gulf of Mannar region, southeast coast of India.

An ectoparasitic isopod, sp. was found in the Gill chambers of collected from the Gulf of Mannar region, Southeast coast of India. The present study signifies the new record of sp.
