Impact of salinity on the grazing rate of a cladocera (Latonopsis australis) in a large tropical estuarine system
(2020)
Cladocerans are ecologically important as active grazers at the secondary trophic level, and they are economically important in aquaculture as potential live feed for many commercially valuable fishes. This study deals ...
Ecology and distribution of tanaids in a large tropical estuary along the Southwest Coast of India
(2020)
The crustacean order Tanaidacea consists of macrobenthic invertebrates, which constitute a major food source for higher trophic levels in estuarine and marine environments. Based on seasonal sampling in the Kochi Backwaters ...
Impact of a large hydraulic barrage on the trace metals concentration in mesozooplankton in the Kochi backwaters, along the Southwest coast of India
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
This study delineates the impact of a man-made hydrological barrage [Thannermukkom barrage (TB)] on the concentration of selected trace metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb) in mesozooplankton from the Kochi backwaters ...
Significantly dominant warm-core eddies: An ecological indicator of the basin-scale low biological production in the Bay of Bengal
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)
This paper introduces the cumulative impact of cyclonic (cold-core) and anticyclonic (warm-core) eddies on the distribution of phytoplankton biomass in the Bay of Bengal (BoB). Estimations of the ocean surface eddy features ...
Response of microplankton size structure to summer stratification, freshwater influx and coastal upwelling in the Southeastern Arabian Sea
(2020)
A year-round FlowCAM-based study of micro-plankton (20-200 μm) size structure was conducted in several locations along a cross-shore transect off Kochi in the near-shore waters of the southeastern Arabian Sea (SEAS; along ...
Ecological responses of autotrophic microplankton to the eutrophication of the coastal upwelling along the Southwest coast of India
(Springer, 2021)
The primary ecological effects of the eutrophication of upwelling in the nearshore waters are the triggering and sustenance of phytoplankton (diatom) blooms. Here, we present the changes in the morphological characteristics ...
Macrobenthos community response to the seasonal hypoxia associated with coastal upwelling off Kochi, along the Southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study presents the seasonal macrobenthic assemblages in the nearshore environment off Kochi along the southwest coast of India, which is exposed to the freshwater influx, and coastal upwelling associated seasonal ...
Implications of an extensive salt water barrage on the distribution of black clam in a tropical estuarine system, Southwest coast of India
(Elsevier, 2021)
Based on a monthly field sampling over a year in the Kochi backwaters (KBW), this study presents the larval ecology of black clam and discusses how an extensive saltwater barrage [Thannermukkom barrage (TB)] impacted the ...
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 ...
