Interactions between trophic levels in upwelling and non-upwelling regions during summer monsoon
Malik, A.; Fernandes, C.E.G.; Gonsalves, M.J.B.D.; Subina, N.S.; Mamatha, S.S.; Krishna, K.S.; Varik, S.; RituKumari; Gauns, M.; Cejoice, R.P.; Pandey, S.S.; Jineesh, V.K.; Kamaleson, A.S.; Vijayan, V.; Mukherjee, I.; Subramanyan, S.; Nair, S.; Ingole, B.S.; LokaBharathi, P.A. (Elsevier, 2015)Coastal upwelling is a regular phenomenon occurring along the southwest coast of India during summer monsoon (May–September). We hypothesize that there could be a shift in environmental parameters along with changes in the ... -
Nitrate reducing activity pervades surface waters during upwelling.
Fernandes, S.O.; Halarnekar, R.; Malik, A.; Vijayan, V.; Varik, S.; RituKumari; Jineesh V.K.; Gauns, M.; Nair, S.; LokaBharathi, P.A. (Elsevier, 2014)Nitrate reducing activity (NRA) is known to be mediated by microaerophilic to anaerobic bacteria and generally occurs in the sub-surface waters. However, we hypothesize that NRA could become prominent in the surface waters ... -
Top down control of post-upwelling waters off Trivandrum: Indications from variability in DMS(P)
Pandey S.; Bhonsle S.; RituKumari; Gauns, M.; LokaBharathi, P.A. (Centre for Ocean and Environmental Studies, New Delhi, 2012)Coastal upwelling is known to bring nutrient rich bottom waters to the surface. This change in chemistry triggers a series of cascading effects on the trophic levels of coastal ecosystems. Phytoplankton, besides being ...
