Responses of the picophytoplankton community to temperature fronts in the northeastern Arabian Sea during the northeast monsoon
(Elsevier, 2018)
We investigated the responses of the picophytoplankton (< 3-μm) community to a temperature filament and front through high resolution spatial (~ 1 NM) sampling (November-23 to December-11, 2012) in the northeastern Arabian ...
Synechococcus as an indicator of trophic status in the Cochin backwaters, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)
Eutrophication is a major problem in coastal water bodies. Information about the trophic status of water bodies will enable proper management of coastal ecosystems. In this regard, biological organisms which are sensitive ...
Picophytoplankton community in a tropical estuary: Detection of Prochlorococcus-like populations
(Elsevier, 2012)
The influence of hydrography on the picophytoplankton (PP) abundance in estuaries was studied by sampling along a salinity gradient in an Indian estuary. Prochlorococcus-like cells were detected at salinities ranging from ...
Diatom colonization on stainless steel panels in estuarine waters of Goa, west coast of India
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 2000)
Temporal variations in diatom fouling was investigated at the Dona Paula Bay located at the mouth of the Zuari Estuary, Goa, India. Stainless steel panels admeasuring 15 x 10 cm were exposed to the environment every month ...
Seasonal variations in the fouling diatom community structure from a monsoon influenced tropical estuary
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)
Seasonal variations in the fouling diatom community from a monsoon influenced tropical estuary were investigated. The community composition did not differ significantly between stainless steel and polystyrene substrata due ...
Dynamics of size-fractionated phytoplankton biomass in a monsoonal estuary: Patterns and drivers for seasonal and spatial variability
(Elsevier, 2018)
Phytoplankton size-fractionated biomass is an important determinant of the type of food web functioning in aquatic ecosystems. Knowledge about the effect of seasonal salinity gradient on the size-fractionated biomass ...
Diatoms of the microphytobenthic community: Population structure in a tropical intertidal sand flat
(Springer, 2002)
Temporal and spatial variations were investigated in the viable diatom population of the microphytobenthic community from an intertidal sand flat of a tropical environment. The presence of diatoms to a sediment depth of ...
Influence of short-term hydrographic variations during the north-east monsoon on picophytoplankton community structure in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2017)
The eastern Arabian Sea over the continental margin is a dynamic region subjected to short-term variability in hydrography as a result of various physical forcing such as coastal advection and vertical mixing. In order to ...
Effect of ageing on survival of benthic diatom propagules
(Elsevier, 2007)
A comparison of viable benthic diatom propagules based on the observations recorded immediately and after 5 years of ageing at 5oC is presented. The number of viable benthic diatom propagules decreased with ageing. However, ...
Tiniest primary producers in the marine environment: An appraisal from the context of waters around India
(Current Science Association, 2011)
Phytoplankton (0.2 mm - 2 mm) are the major primary producers in the marine environment thereby forming a basic link in the marine food web. They are categorized into different groups depending on their size range. Cells ...
