Microplastic (MPs) contamination has emerged as a serious worldwide issue. Human activity, commercial enterprises, and fishing are concentrated around the seashore, causing high levels of MPs in coastal marine organisms. When it comes to their vulnerability ingestion, sharks least studied organism. The objective this study is investigate accumulation collected from Southeast Indian zone (Bay Be...

Abstract In the Bay of Bengal, warm, dry boreal spring concludes with onset summer monsoon and accompanying southwesterly winds, heavy rains, variable air–sea fluxes. Here, we summarize 2018 using observations collected through multinational Monsoon Intraseasonal Oscillations in Bengal (MISO-BoB) program between United States, India, Sri Lanka. MISO-BoB aims to improve understanding intraseason...

A menippid crab Myomenippe hardwickii (Gray, 1831) was obtained in the macrobenthic collections from Hukitola, a mangrove-associated Bay located south of Bhitarkanika, Odisha, on east coast India. Although reported coastal waters adjoining Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal, documentation species Odisha remained elusive until current study.

Abstract The present study examined the relationship between turbulent surface heat flux (SHF) and sea temperature (SST) variations using daily observational data. SHF SST displays notable differences winter summer prominent time-scale dependence in both seasons. In mid-latitude frontal regions, has a larger role driving than summer. subtropical gyre plays change winter. winter, effect on South...
