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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Winter phytoplankton size classes in the Northeastern Arabian Sea based on in-situ and remote sensing methods
(Elsevier, 2023)
Phytoplankton size classes (PSCs) are important in marine ecosystems because they organise the food chain and trophic pathways, which determine the overall biological environment. Based on three FORV Sagar Sampada cruises, ...
Environmental and human facets of the waterweed proliferation in a vast tropical Ramsar wetland - Vembanad lake system
(Springer, 2023)
The Vembanad Lake and its associated low-lying areas and network of canals (hereafter VBL) form the major part of India’s second-largest Ramsar wetland (1512 km2) located in Kerala State along India’s southwest coast. The ...
Flood-associated hydrobiological changes in the nearshore off Kochi, along the southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2023)
This study presents how flood water transforms the hydrobiology of the nearshore waters close to estuarine inlets along the southwest coast of India, which are susceptible to significant freshwater discharge during the ...
Copepoda community imprints the continuity of the oceanic and shelf oxygen minimum zones along the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2024)
The largest continental shelf Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ) in the world is formed along the Indian western shelf in the eastern Arabian Sea during the Southwest Monsoon [(SWM); June-September], which is a natural pollution ...
Effects of seasons and successive upwelling phases on phytoplankton size classes in the Southeast Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2024)
The responses of Phytoplankton Size Classes (PSCs) to seasons and the distinct phases of coastal upwelling in the northern Indian Ocean is an understudied aspect. This study introduces observations from a monthly time ...
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 ...
