Ecology and Distribution of Copepods from the Salt Pan Ecosystems of Mumbai, West Coast of India
(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 ...
Trophic efficiency of plankton food webs: Observations from the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Bay, Southeast Coast of India
(Elsevier, 2013)
This paper introduces the structure and trophic efficiency of plankton food webs in the Gulf of Mannar (GoM) and the Palk Bay (PB) - two least studied marine environments located between India and Sri Lanka. The study is ...
A comparative study on mesozooplankton abundance and diversity between a protected and an unprotected coastal area of Andaman Islands.
(Springer, 2014)
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 ...
Distributional characteristics of surface-layer mesozooplankton in the Bay of Bengal during the 2005 winter monsoon.
(NISCAIR, 2014)
Present study consists spatial patterns in biomass, abundance and composition of mesozooplankton in Bay of Bengal. Surface samples were collected from a central open ocean transect along 88ºE and western coastal transect ...
Deterioration in the biodiversity of copepods in sewage laiden creeks of Mumbai coast, west coast of India: A statistical approach.
(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 ...
Enhanced abundance of tintinnids under elevated CO2 level from coastal Bay of Bengal
(Springer, 2012)
The role of microzooplankton (MZP) in the pelagic trophodynamics is highly significant, but the responses of marine MZP to increasing CO2 levels are rather poorly understood. Hence the present study was undertaken to ...
Trace metal dynamics in zooplankton from the Bay of Bengal during summer monsoon
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2010)
Trace metal (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb) concentrations in zooplankton from the mixed layer were investigated at 8 coastal and 20 offshore stations in the western Bay of Bengal during the summer monsoon of 2003. The ...
An overview of dinoflagellate cysts in recent sediments along the west coast of India
(NISCAIR (CSIR), 2011)
Distribution and abundance of dinoflagellate cysts in recent sediments along the west coast of India (26 coastal stations and 3 ports) is presented. A total of 47 different types of cysts and a maximum abundance of 1076 ...
Ocean currents structuring the mesozooplankton in the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Bay, southeast coast of India
(Elsevier, 2013)
We hypothesis perceptible physical barriers that exist between the deep Gulf of Mannar and shallow Palk Bay located between India and Sri Lanka, and seasonally reversing surface circulation patterns in the region have a ...
Preliminary studies on the association between zooplankton and the stramenopilan fungi, Aplanochytrids
(Springer, 2013)
The relationship of the marine heterokont stramenopilan protists, the aplanochytrids, with the zooplankton was studied in coastal waters. The aplanochytrids were fed to the zooplankton specimens and observed for grazing ...
