Meso-scale atmospheric events promote phytoplankton blooms in the coastal Bay of Bengal
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2011)
The Bay of Bengal is considered to be a low productive region compared to the Arabian Sea based on conventional seasonal observations. Such seasonal observations are not representative of a calendar year since the conventional ...
Massive outbreaks of Noctiluca scintillans blooms in the Arabian Sea due to spread of hypoxia.
(Macmillan, 2014)
In the last decade, the northern Arabian Sea has witnessed a radical shift in the composition of winter phytoplankton blooms, which previously comprised mainly of diatoms, the unicellular, siliceous photosynthetic organisms ...
Upper ocean circulation modulation by phytoplankton concentration in the Equatorial Pacific and the Indian Ocean
(PORSEC 2002 Secretariat; Bogor; Indonesia, 2002)
Wind patterns in the equatorial Pacific and Indian oceans are the factors that regulate the chlorophyll pigment distributions in the equatorial region of these oceans. Trade winds and coastline of the Pacific basin supports ...
Temporal variations in dimethylsulphoniopropionate and dimethyl sulphide in the Zuari estuary, Goa (India)
(Elsevier, 2003)
Despite tropical estuarine systems representing important sites for active biogeochemical processes, studies on dimethyl sulphide (DMS) in these systems are sparse. Here we report on DMS and dimethylsulphoniopropionate ...
Nitrogen uptake by size-fractionated phytoplankton in mangrove waters
(Inter Research, 2005)
Seasonal changes in the uptake of nitrogenous nutrients (nitrate, nitrite, ammonium and urea) in 2 size fractions (netplankton: 20 to 200 Mu m; and nanoplankton: 0.8 to 20 Mu m) were studied in relationship to the phytoplankton ...
Influence of a tropical cyclone on chlorophyll-a concentration in the Arabian Sea
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)
The effect of a tropical cyclone on the variation of phytoplankton biomass in terms of surface chlorophyll-a is brought out based on satellite observations and mixed layer model simulations in the Arabian Sea during 21 ...
Phytoplankton biomass and primary production in Delagoa Bight Mozambique: Application of remote sensing
(Elsevier, 2007)
A non-linear model that uses satellite-derived chlorophyll to estimate water-column primary production was developed and tested using data from the Delagoa Bight, where the model results compared well with local estimates. ...
Distribution of diatom Pseudo-nitzschia and dinoflagellates of Dinophysis spp along coast off Goa
(Triveni Enterprises, 2011)
As a part of an annual analysis on the phytoplankton distribution and composition, regular monthly sampling carried out during October 2007-September 2008 from salinity gradient zones in the intertidal waters along the ...
Characterization of phytoplankton pigments and functional community structure in the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Bay using HPLC–CHEMTAX analysis.
(Elsevier, 2014)
Phytoplankton marker pigments and their functional groups were identified for the first time in the Gulf of Mannar (GoM) and the Palk Bay (PB), located in the southeast coast of India using HPLC–CHEMTAX analytical techniques. ...
Relevance of bacterioplankton abundance and production in the oligotrophic equatorial Indian Ocean
(Springer, 2008)
Bacterioplankton abundance and production, chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentrations and primary production (PP) were measured from the equatorial Indian Ocean (EIO) during northeast (NEM), southwest (SWM) and spring intermonsoon ...
