Enhanced export of carbon by salps during the northeast monsoon period in the northern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2005)A drifting sediment trap was deployed and sup(234)Th activity in the water column was measured to calculate export flux of carbon at a time-series station in the northern Arabian Sea (lat. 21 degrees 30 minutes N; long. ... -
Phytoplankton-zooplankton inter-relationships in tropical waters - Grazing and gut pigment dynamics
(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, 1999)An examination of the feeding mechanisms in two taxonomically dissimilar classes of tropical planktonic harbivores Evadne tergestina (Cladocera) and Acrocalanus spp. (Copepoda) revealed a distinct rhythmicity of food intake. ... -
Stable isotopic analysis of Barnacle larvae and their faecal pellets to evaluate the ingested food
(Elsevier, 2013)Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen are useful in the evaluation of food web dynamics and have been used extensively in the feeding studies. Barnacles are dominant component of the intertidal and bio-fouling communities. ... -
Thraustochytrid fungoid protists in faecal pellets of the tunicate Pegea confoederata, their tolerance to deep-sea conditions and implication in degradation processes
(Inter-Research, 1999)During a swarm of the tunicate Pegea confoederata (salp) in the northern Arabian Sea, we examined their faecal pellets for thraustochytrid protists and bacteria to understand the role of the former in decomposition processes ...
