Impact of eutrophication on the occurrence of Trichodesmium in the Cochin backwaters, the largest estuary along the west coast of India
(Springer, 2013)
Phytoplankton studies in early 1970s have shown the annual dominance of diatoms and a seasonal abundance of Trichodesmium in the lower reaches of the Cochin backwaters (CBW) and adjacent coastal Arabian Sea during the ...
Significantly dominant warm-core eddies: An ecological indicator of the basin-scale low biological production in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)
This paper introduces the cumulative impact of cyclonic (cold-core) and anticyclonic (warm-core) eddies on the distribution of phytoplankton biomass in the Bay of Bengal (BoB). Estimations of the ocean surface eddy features ...
Viral-Induced Mortality of Prokaryotes in a Tropical Monsoonal Estuary
(Frontiers, 2017)
Viruses are recognized as the most abundant and dynamic biological entities in the marine and estuarine environment. However, studies on the dynamics and activity of viruses in transient estuarine systems are limited. This ...
Trichodesmium blooms and warm-core ocean surface features in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier, 2017)
Trichodesmium is a bloom-forming, diazotrophic, non-heterocystous cyanobacteria widely distributed in the warmer oceans, and their bloom is considered a �biological indication� of stratification and nitrogen limitation in ...
Fragilariopsis sp. bloom causes yellowish-brown waters off Alappuzha, south-central Kerala coast, India, during the mud bank-upwelling phase
(Current Science Association & Indian Academy of Sciences, 2018)
Mud banks (Chakara) of Kerala are calm coastal waters that form in several isolated stretches along the coast usually during the southwest monsoon (SWM) period (June-September). They are characterized by the damping of ...
Discriminating the biophysical impacts of coastal upwelling and mud banks along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2017)
Coastal upwelling and mud banks are two oceanographic processes concurrently operating along certain stretches of the southwest (Kerala) coast of India during the Southwest Monsoon period (June-September), facilitating ...
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 ...
The world's largest coastal deoxygenation zone is not anthropogenically driven
(IOP Publishing, 2021)
The growing number of oxygen-deficient coastal zones around the world and their impacts on marine life has always been a controversial issue as their development is largely attributed to anthropogenic activities which can ...
Distinctive phytoplankton size responses to the nutrient enrichment of coastal upwelling and winter convection in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2022)
Even though the seasonal pattern of phytoplankton biomass distribution in the seas around India is reasonably well understood, there is relatively little information on phytoplankton size classes. The current study shows ...
Why the Gulf of Mannar is a marine biological paradise?
(Springer, 2021)
The Gulf of Mannar (GoM), located between India and Sri Lanka, has astonishing faunal richness and diversity. Two oceanographic data sets supplemented with satellite remote sensing observations are discussed here to show ...
