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 ...
Microplastics in copepods reflects the manmade flow restrictions in the Kochi backwaters, along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2022)
This baseline study on microplastics (MPs) in calanoid copepods in the Kochi backwaters (KBW), India's largest estuary system on the west coast, focuses on (a) the spatiotemporal variations of MPs with the seasonal hydrography ...
Alarming waterweeds proliferation in the Vembanad Lake System might significantly increase water loss through transpiration
(Springer, 2022)
Eichhornia crassipes and Monochoria vaginalis are waterweeds, and their uncontrolled proliferation in fresh and brackish water habitats is a serious ecological problem in many parts of the world. These weeds are quite ...
Distinctive phytoplankton size responses to the nutrient enrichment of coastal upwelling and winter convection in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2022)
Even though the seasonal pattern of phytoplankton biomass distribution in the seas around India is reasonably well understood, there is relatively little information on phytoplankton size classes. The current study shows ...
Copepod carcasses in the western Bay of Bengal and associated ecology
(Springer, 2022)
Although a portion of all copepods in the natural environment are physiologically inactive or dead, there is little data on this aspect in Indian seas. Using the classical neutral red live staining technique, the dead ...
Microplastics in zooplankton in the eastern Arabian Sea: The threats they pose to fish and corals favoured by coastal currents
(Elsevier, 2021)
The baseline study of Microplastics (MPs) in zooplankton (copepods, chaetognaths, decapods, and fish larvae) from six different zones along India's west coast (off Kanyakumari/Cape Comorin, Kochi, Mangalore, Goa, Mumbai, ...
Why the Gulf of Mannar is a marine biological paradise?
(Springer, 2021)
The Gulf of Mannar (GoM), located between India and Sri Lanka, has astonishing faunal richness and diversity. Two oceanographic data sets supplemented with satellite remote sensing observations are discussed here to show ...
Dominance of Wolbachia sp. in the deep-sea sediment bacterial metataxonomic sequencing analysis in the Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean
(2020)
The Bay of Bengal, located in the north-eastern part of the Indian Ocean is world's largest bay occupying an area of ~8,39,000 mile2. The variability in bacterial community structure and function in sediment ecosystems of ...
Response of smaller plankton to the saltwater barrage-altered hydrography of a tropical estuarine system on India's southwest coast
(Elsevier, 2022)
This study examines how a large saltwater barrage [Thannermukkom barrage (TB)] in the Kochi backwaters (KBW), India's largest estuarine system on the west coast, affects the distribution of autotrophic small plankton ...
Monsoon-induced changes in the size-fractionated phytoplankton biomass and production rate in the estuarine and coastal waters of southwest coast of India
(Springer, 2010)
Changes in the autotrophic pico- (0.2–
2 μm), nano- (2–20 μm), and microplankton
(>20 μm) biomass (chlorophyll a) and primary
production were measured in the estuarine and
coastal waters off Cochin, southwest coast of ...
