Copepod community in the coastal waters off Kochi (India) signify the enhanced estuarine flushing during the Southwest Monsoon
(Elsevier, 2024)
Even though many studies refer to copepods as potential indicators of hydrographical settings and/or water masses, focused studies on this aspect are very scarce in Indian waters. Hence, this study assesses the hydrography ...
Impact of river discharge and suspended sediments on the nearshore benthic environment along the Indian southwest coast
(Elsevier, 2024)
River discharge into the sea and its implications on the environmental setting and fauna in the nearshore represent the intricate interactions among the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. This study, based ...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in surface sediments of the western Bay of Bengal: Distribution, sources, and ecological risk assessment
(Elsevier, 2024)
This study investigated the distribution, sources, and ecological risk of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the surface sediments of the Western Bay of Bengal (WBoB). Coastal, shelf and slope sediments from the ...
Ecophysiological status of copepods in the oxygen minimum zone of Eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2024)
Eutrophication of marine ecosystems is a global problem, particularly in a changing climate and the spreading of Oxygen Minimum Zones (OMZs). The eastern Arabian Sea has both seasonal and permanent/perennial OMZs, but our ...
Seasonal Surges in Bacterial Diversity along the Coastal Waters of the Eastern Arabian Sea
(MDPI, 2024)
The upwelling phenomenon plays a vital role within marine ecosystems, transporting essential nutrients from the bottom to the surface and boosting biological productivity. However, the bacterial community structure in ...
Anthropogenic stressors of black clam distribution in Kochi backwaters on the Indian west coast
(Springer, 2025)
The black clam (Villorita cyprinoides Gray, 1825) is the most commercially important clam in India and the major share of its landing (around 25,000 tonnes/year) comes from Kochi backwaters (KBW), the largest estuarine ...
Higher environmental stability makes the Gulf of Mannar a biodiversity hotspot
(Elsevier, 2025)
The Gulf of Mannar (GoM), located between India and Sri Lanka, is a biodiversity hotspot and the first Indian marine biosphere reserve. Despite its location at the confluence zone of the Southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) and ...
Tidal control of heavy metal loading in the nearshore of the northwestern Indian coast
(Elsevier, 2025)
Heavy metals accumulate in the marine food chain and their excessive amounts are hazardous to aquatic and human lives. The current study presents the role of ecosystem variables especially tides in deciding the presence ...
Responses of zooplankton (copepods) in the Indian mud bank-upwelling region
(Elsevier, 2025)
In 2014 and 2016, the ecology and composition of zooplankton in the Alappuzha mud bank-upwelling area along the southwest (Kerala) coast of India were studied using biweekly sampling from the Pre-Monsoon (PRM) in April to ...
Impact of river discharge and suspended sediments on phytoplankton in the nearshore waters of the Indian southwest coast
(Elsevier, 2025)
The current study presents how seasonal and spatial variations in river discharge and suspended sediments alter selected phytoplankton variables in the nearshore waters along the southwest coast of India. The study utilised ...
