Implications of micro-plankton and micro-detritus on the food web in the largest monsoonal estuary along the west coast of India
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
This study presents how seasonal hydrographical changes affect the size structure of the micro-plankton community and thereby the availability of micro-detritus in the Kochi backwaters (KBW). Advanced quantification of ...
Biophysical implications of the freshwater influx over small spatial scale in the coastal waters along the southwest coast of India during the Southwest Monsoon
(Elsevier BV, 2021)
This study in the coastal waters off Kochi along the southwest coast of India during the Southwest Monsoon (SWM) presents the biophysical implications of freshwater influx over a small spatial scale. Field sampling was ...
Impact of human-altered hydrographical setting on the Copepod community structure in an extensive tropical estuary along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study presents how human-altered hydrographical settings (flow restrictions) impacts the natural distribution and community structure of copepods in the Kochi Backwaters (KBW), the largest monsoonal estuary along the ...
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. ...
Trace metals concentration in water hyacinth implicates the saltwater barrage altered hydrography of Kochi backwaters, southwest Coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study in the Kochi backwaters (KBW) presents the distribution of 9 trace metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Ni, Co, Cr, Cd, Pb) in different parts (root, stolon and leaf) of the common water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes during ...
The response of microzooplankton (20-200 mu m) to coastal upwelling and summer stratification in the southeastern
(Elsevier, 2008)
During the late summer monsoon (LSM), coastal upwelling and river runoff have increased the nutrient concentration in the inshore region of the southeastern Arabian Sea. This has resulted in elevated chlorophyll-a (av. 40 ...
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 ...
