Ecology and Distribution of Copepods from the Salt Pan Ecosystems of Mumbai, West Coast of India

Stephen, R.; Jayalakshmy, K.V.; NaveenKumar, K.R.; Nair, V.R. (SciTechnol, 2013)

Ecology, distribution and diversity of Copepod collected from two salt pans of Mumbai, India, are presented. Copepods, the mai zooplankton components, consisted mainly of Bestiolina similis, Acartia southwelli, Oithona ...

A comparative study on mesozooplankton abundance and diversity between a protected and an unprotected coastal area of Andaman Islands.

The study was carried out to understand the variability in phytoplankton production (Chlorophyll a) and mesozooplankton diversity from two different shallow coastal regions of south Andaman viz. Port Blair Bay (PBB), the ...

Deterioration in the biodiversity of copepods in sewage laiden creeks of Mumbai coast, west coast of India: A statistical approach.

Stephen, R.; Jayalakshmy, K.V.; Nair, V.R.; Gajbhiye, S.N.; Jacob, B. (Council for Innovative Research, 2014)

The coastal waters of Mumbai is known to receive copious amount of waste from the adjacent creeks and bays. Effluents from various industries including nuclear and thermal power stations are discharged into the Mumbai ...

Decline in biodiversity of copepods in coastal waters of Mumbai

Stephen, R.; Jayalakshmy, K.V.; Nair, V.R. (MEDCOAST, 2013)

Coastal waters of metropolitan cities face severe ecological threat due to sewage discharge and effluents from the industries. Copepods being the most abundant component in zooplankton some species can act as signals of ...

Biodiversity of chaetognaths of the Andaman Sea, Indian Ocean.

Nair, V.R.; Gireesh, R. (Elsevier, 2010)

Andaman Sea is a prominent biodiversity hotspot in the Indian Ocean. Stratified zooplankton collections were taken at 33 locations during 2003-2006. Average density of chaetognaths was 8.5/msup(3) in open ocean and 41.6/m ...

Horizontal and vertical distribution of Chaetognatha in the upper 1000 m of the western Sargasso Sea and the Central and South-east Atlantic.

Pierrot-Bultsa, A.C.; Nair, V.R. (Elsevier, 2010)

The chaetognath abundance, species richness and bathymetric distribution in the upper 1000 m in two regions of the Atlantic Ocean is discussed based on samples collected on two cruises, one to the Sargasso Sea (Northwest ...
