A global Plankton diversity monitoring program
(2019)
Plankton are the base of marine food webs, essential to sustaining fisheries and other marine life. Continuous Plankton Recorders (CPRs) have sampled plankton for decades in both hemispheres and several regional seas. CPR ...
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 ...
Seasonality of macrobenthic assemblages and the biotic environmental quality of the largest monsoonal estuary along the west coast of India
(Springer, 2021)
This study deals with the macrobenthic assemblages and the biotic environmental quality of Kochi backwaters (KBW), India. Due to the heavy river discharge, extensive limnetic and turbid conditions prevailed in the KBW ...
Microplankton size structure induced by a warm-core eddy in the western Bay of Bengal: Role of Trichodesmium abundance
(Elsevier, 2021)
Mesoscale warm-core eddies are common in the Bay of Bengal (BoB), and this study in the western BoB during Pre-Southwest Monsoon (April 2015) presents how a prolonged warm-core core eddy could modify the microplankton ...
Coccolithophores: an environmentally significant and understudied phytoplankton group in the Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2021)
Coccolithophores are unique primary producers in the ocean with the ability to calcify. They are known to produce calcareous scales, which form the significant part of calcite oozes or chalk deposits on the seafloor. ...
Oxygen minimum zone copepods in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal: Their adaptations and status
(Elsevier, 2022)
The Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal are cul-de-sacs of the northern Indian Ocean, and they contain more than half of the world's Oxygen Minimum Zones (OMZs). The current study reviews the vast and advancing literature ...
Mixotrophic plankton and Synechococcus distribution in waters around Svalbard, Norway during June 2019
(Elsevier, 2021)
In order to understand the influence of summer conditions (extended daylight, warmer temperature, increased meltwater, increased suspended load and nutrient chemistry) on the distribution of phytoplankton (diatoms & ...
Trophic ecology of four species of emperor fish (Lethrinus) in the Gulf of Mannar along the Indian southeast coast
(Elsevier, 2022)
This study presents the trophic ecology and resource partitioning among four species of emperor fishes (Lethrinus lentjan, L.microdon, L. nebulosus and L.olivaceus) in the Gulf of Mannar, based on a year-round study conducted ...
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 ...
Feeding preference and daily ration of 12 dominant copepods on mono and mixed diets of phytoplankton, rotifers, and detritus in a tropical coastal water
(Springer, 2017)
Results of the experimental studies on the feeding habit and daily ration (DR) of 12 dominant copepods from a tropical coastal water (off Kochi, Southwest coast of India) on different food items (phytoplankton, rotifers, ...
