Impact of human-altered hydrographical setting on the Copepod community structure in an extensive tropical estuary along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study presents how human-altered hydrographical settings (flow restrictions) impacts the natural distribution and community structure of copepods in the Kochi Backwaters (KBW), the largest monsoonal estuary along the ...
Trace metals concentration in water hyacinth implicates the saltwater barrage altered hydrography of Kochi backwaters, southwest Coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study in the Kochi backwaters (KBW) presents the distribution of 9 trace metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Ni, Co, Cr, Cd, Pb) in different parts (root, stolon and leaf) of the common water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes during ...
Microplastics in copepods reflects the manmade flow restrictions in the Kochi backwaters, along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2022)
This baseline study on microplastics (MPs) in calanoid copepods in the Kochi backwaters (KBW), India's largest estuary system on the west coast, focuses on (a) the spatiotemporal variations of MPs with the seasonal hydrography ...
Alarming waterweeds proliferation in the Vembanad Lake System might significantly increase water loss through transpiration
(Springer, 2022)
Eichhornia crassipes and Monochoria vaginalis are waterweeds, and their uncontrolled proliferation in fresh and brackish water habitats is a serious ecological problem in many parts of the world. These weeds are quite ...
Copepod carcasses in the western Bay of Bengal and associated ecology
(Springer, 2022)
Although a portion of all copepods in the natural environment are physiologically inactive or dead, there is little data on this aspect in Indian seas. Using the classical neutral red live staining technique, the dead ...
Microplastics in zooplankton in the eastern Arabian Sea: The threats they pose to fish and corals favoured by coastal currents
(Elsevier, 2021)
The baseline study of Microplastics (MPs) in zooplankton (copepods, chaetognaths, decapods, and fish larvae) from six different zones along India's west coast (off Kanyakumari/Cape Comorin, Kochi, Mangalore, Goa, Mumbai, ...
Response of smaller plankton to the saltwater barrage-altered hydrography of a tropical estuarine system on India's southwest coast
(Elsevier, 2022)
This study examines how a large saltwater barrage [Thannermukkom barrage (TB)] in the Kochi backwaters (KBW), India's largest estuarine system on the west coast, affects the distribution of autotrophic small plankton ...
