Microbial community response during the iron fertilization experiment LOHAFEX
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012)
Iron fertilization experiments in high nutrient-low chlorophyll areas are known to induce phytoplankton blooms. However, little is known about the response of the microbial community upon iron fertilization. As part of the ...
Phytoplankton, Bacteria and Heterotrophic Nanoflagellate studies using ship and OCM-2 data along a coastal transect in the Arabian Sea
(Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), 2012)
The coastal region of the central West coast of India is biologically productive and well known for its Mackerel and Sardine fishery. December is an active fishing month and fall in the post-monsoon period when coastal ...
Locating Noctiluca miliaris in the Arabian Sea: An optical proxy approach
(Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2014)
Coincident with shifting monsoon weather patterns over India, the phytoplankter Noctiluca miliaris has recently been observed to be dominating phytoplankton blooms in the northeastern Arabian Sea during the winter monsoons. ...
Nutrient fluxes and adaptation to environmental dynamics by phytoplankton in the Gulf of Khambhat
(International Journal Of Current Research, 2011)
Environmental dynamics with a view of understanding the nutrient fluxes and the factors regulating phytoplankton production, in waters off Bhavnagar, Gulf of Khambhat, were investigated during 1996-2007. The coastal waters ...
CHEMTAX-derived phytoplankton community structure associated with temperature fronts in the northeastern Arabian Sea..
(Elsevier, 2015)
Remotely sensed sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll associated with fronts and filaments are used in India to generate potential fishing zone (PFZ) advisories in the north eastern Arabian Sea (NEAS). However, ...
Biogeochemistry and ecology of Pyrosoma spinosum from the Central Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2015)
Background: A swarm of pelagic tunicate (Pyrosoma spinosum) was found in the surface open waters of the Arabian Sea during late southwest monsoon (September 2007). The swarm site was characterized by moderate southwesterly ...
Influence of physical processes and freshwater discharge on the seasonality of phytoplankton regime in the Bay of Bengal
(Pergamon, 2000)
The seasonality of phytoplankton was examined in the western and northern Bay of Bengal using shipboard data collected during three seasons as well as ocean colour imagery from OCTS and Sea WiFS. Seasonal changes in the ...
Monsoon driven changes in phytoplankton populations in the eastern Arabian Sea as revealed by microscopy and HPLC pigment analysis
(Elsevier, 2006)
Like the rest of the Arabian Sea, the west coast of India is subject to semi-annual wind reversals associated with the monsoon cycle that result in two periods of elevated phytoplankton productivity, one during the northeast ...
Biological characteristics of Central Indian Basin waters during the southern summer
(Taylor and Francis, 2005)
Phytoplankton biomass, taxonomy, primary productivity, and photosynthetically available radiation (PAR) were studied as part of baseline data collection for prospective nodule mining in the Central Indian Basin during the ...
Basin-wide seasonal evolution of the Indian Ocean's phytoplankton blooms
(American Geophysical Union, 2007)
A climatology of Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWiFS) chlorophyll data over the Indian Ocean is used to examine the bloom variability patterns, identifying spatio-temporal contrasts in bloom appearance and ...
