  • Additions to the Echinoderm Fauna of Great Nicobar Island, Bay of Bengal
    Rec. zool. Surv. India,' 103 (Part 1-2) : 59-66, 2004 ADDITIONS TO THE ECHINODERM FAUNA OF GREAT NICOBAR ISLAND, BAY OF BENGAL D. R. K. SASTRY*, S. PARAMASIVAM, K. P. MANIKANDAN, S. AJMAL KHAN AND L. KANNAN Centre for Advanced Study in Marine Biology, Annamalai University, Parangipettai-608 502, India INTRODUCTION Great Nicobar is the southernmost island of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands located in the Bay of Bengal. Sastry (1999) gave an account of 18 species of echinoderms known till then from this Island. During the recent intensive explorations one of us (SP) collected material of 33 species of asteroids, ophiuroids echinoids and holothurians. Of these, only six species namely, Dactylosaster cylindricus (Asteroidea), Ophiocoma dentata, Ophiocoma erinaceus, Ophiocoma scolopendrina, Ophiomastix annulosa (Ophiuroidea), and Echinometra mathaei (Echinoidea), have been reported earlier. The present report adds 27 species to the echinoderm fauna of the Great Nicobar Island. Thus the echinoderm fauna of the Great Nicobar Island comprises of 45 species. Clark and Rowe (1971) gave details of distribution in the Indo-West Pacific region and keys for the identification (up to genus only in case of holothurians). Details of description, distribution and keys for the holothurians reported herein can be found in James (1987a,b,c, 1995a,b). Since all the species are already known from other islands, these have been briefly listed below, with details of localities of collection. The material is deposited i~ the collections of the Centre of Advanced Study in Marine Biology, Annamalai Univffsity, Parangipettai-608 502. Though all the species are already known from Andaman ~~and Nicobar Islands, with only a few new to Nicobar group, the present report is considered :~ecessary keeping in view the requirement of faunal diversity of individual islands for de~laration and management of Protected Areas.

  • Crustal Deformation and Seismic History Associated with the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake: a Perspective from the Andaman–Nicobar Islands by C
    Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Vol. 97, No. 1A, pp. S174–S191, January 2007, doi: 10.1785/0120050630 Crustal Deformation and Seismic History Associated with the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake: A Perspective from the Andaman–Nicobar Islands by C. P. Rajendran, Kusala Rajendran, R. Anu, Anil Earnest,* Terry Machado, P. M. Mohan, and Jeffrey Freymueller Abstract The Indian Ocean earthquake of 26 December 2004 led to significant ground deformation in the Andaman and Nicobar region, accounting for ϳ800 km of the rupture. Part of this article deals with coseismic changes along these islands, observable from coastal morphology, biological indicators, and Global Positioning System (GPS) data. Our studies indicate that the islands south of 10Њ N latitude coseismically subsided by 1–1.5 m, both on their eastern and western margins, whereas those to the north showed a mixed response. The western margin of the Middle Andaman emerged by Ͼ1 m, and the eastern margin submerged by the same amount. In the North Andaman, both western and eastern margins emerged by Ͼ1m. We also assess the pattern of long-term deformation (uplift/subsidence) and attempt to reconstruct earthquake/tsunami history, with the available data. Geological evi- ע dence for past submergence includes dead mangrove vegetation dating to 740 100 yr B.P., near Port Blair and peat layers at 2–4 m and 10–15 m depths observed in core samples from nearby locations. Preliminary paleoseismological/tsunami evi- dence from the Andaman and Nicobar region and from the east coast of India, suggest at least one predecessor for the 2004 earthquake 900–1000 years ago.

Email: [email protected]; [email protected] The Nicobar treeshrew Tupaia nicobarica is an endemic mammal restricted in its distribution to Great and Little Nicobar islands in the Andaman Sea. This article aims to report basic information on the ecology and behaviour as well as a preliminary population assessment of this species on Great Nicobar Island. Nicobar treeshrews spend more than 60% of the day foraging, followed by resting or sleeping (12%). The proportion of time spent on major activities was significantly different across different time periods, with much of the feeding activity in the mornings and evenings. Nicobar treeshrews were observed largely solitarily or as breeding pairs. Observations on mating, aggression and vocalisation are also reported. Most of the ecological and behavioural traits are shared with one or more species of Tupaia in the region.

  • Geographical Location of India
    1 GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF INDIA India is situated north of the equator between 8°4' north to 37°6' north latitude and 68°7' to 97°25' east longitude. It is the seventh-largest country in the world, with a total area of 3,287,263 square kilometres (1,269,219 sq mi). India measures 3,214 km (1,997 mi) from north to south and 2,933 km (1,822 mi) from east to west. It has a land frontier of 15,200 km (9,445 mi) and a coastline of 7,516.6 km (4,671 mi). Fig.1: Geographical location of India On the south, India projects into and is bounded by the Indian Ocean in particular, by the Arabian Sea on the west, the Lakshadweep Sea to the southwest, the Bay of Bengal on the east, and the Indian Ocean proper to the south. The Palk Strait and Gulf of Mannar separate India from Sri Lanka to its immediate southeast, and the Maldives are some 125 kilometres (78 mi) to the south of India's Lakshadweep Islands across the Eight Degree Channel. India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands, some 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) southeast of the mainland, share maritime borders with Myanmar, Thailand and Indonesia. Kanyakumari at 8°4′41″N and 77°55′230″E is the southernmost tip of the Indian mainland, while the southernmost point in India is Indira Point on Great Nicobar Island. The northernmost point which is under Indian administration is Indira Col, Siachen Glacier. India's territorial 2 waters extend into the sea to a distance of 12 nautical miles (13.8 mi; 22.2 km) from the coast baseline.
