TL;DR: The first document of a detailed geochemical and mineralogical study of muddy to sandy mud estuarine sediments of the Hugli River collected from five different sites along its course in the coastal areas of West Bengal, northeast India indicates that the metals that are carried from upstream find their ultimate depositional sink at the delta mouth near Gangasagar.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physicochemical characteristics and level of dissolved heavy metals at three ecologically distinct zones along the course of the Ganges river were examined and it was revealed that socioeconomic development of Calcutta, the most potential economic zone in India situated on the east bank of Hugli river, has had a significant impact on the water quality of this major river.

TL;DR: The present paper deals with degrading coastal habitats in northeastern India, and projects the intensity of the stress arising from the collection of tiger prawn seeds (Penaeus monodon) for aquacultural farms and molluskan shells for poultry feed and edible lime.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the colony and community structure of polychaetes in two ecologically distinct locations of the Sundarban Biosphere reserve on the northeast coast of India.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the data of a comprehensive study of the origin and distribution of 16 priority pollutant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in surface sediments from 18 sampling stations, 9 from Sundarban of Bangladesh and 9 from Indian counterpart.
