Biophysical implications of the freshwater influx over small spatial scale in the coastal waters along the southwest coast of India during the Southwest Monsoon
Santhikrishnan, S.; Jyothibabu, R.; Albin, K.J.; Alok, K.T.; Karnan, C.; Arunpandi, N.; Camey, M.F.; Gireeshkumar, T.R. (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 ... -
Coccolithophores: an environmentally significant and understudied phytoplankton group in the Indian Ocean
Arundhathy, M.; Jyothibabu, R.; Santhikrishnan, S.; Albin, K.J.; Parthasarathi, S.; Rashid, C.P. (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. ... -
Distinctive phytoplankton size responses to the nutrient enrichment of coastal upwelling and winter convection in the eastern Arabian Sea
Albin, K.J.; Jyothibabu, R.; Alok, K.T.; Santhikrishnan, S.; Sarath, S.; Sudheesh, V.; Sherin, C.K.; Balachandran, K.K.; AshaDevi, C.R.; Gupta, G.V.M. (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 ... -
Ecological responses of autotrophic microplankton to the eutrophication of the coastal upwelling along the Southwest coast of India
Jyothibabu, R.; Karnan, C.; Jagadeesan, L.; Arunpandi, N.; Parthasarathi, N.; Albin, K.J. (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 ... -
Flood-associated hydrobiological changes in the nearshore off Kochi, along the southwest coast of India
Albin, K.J.; Jyothibabu, R.; SanthiKrishnan, S.; Sarath, S.; Alok, K.T.; Gupta, G.V.M. (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 ... -
Impact of a large hydraulic barrage on the trace metals concentration in mesozooplankton in the Kochi backwaters, along the Southwest coast of India
Arunpandi, N.; Jyothibabu, R.; Jagadeesan, L.; Parthasarathi, S.; Albin, K.J.; Pandiyarajan, R.S. (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 ... -
Impact of human-altered hydrographical setting on the Copepod community structure in an extensive tropical estuary along the southwest coast of India
Arunpandi, N.; Jyothibabu, R.; Jagadeesan, L.; Parthasarathi, S.; Anjusha, A.; Albin, K.J. (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 ... -
Impact of salinity on the grazing rate of a cladocera (Latonopsis australis) in a large tropical estuarine system
Arunpandi, N.; Jyothibabu, R.; Jagadeesan, L.; Albin, K.J.; Savitha, K.M.M.; Parthasarathi, S. (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 ... -
Implications of an extensive salt water barrage on the distribution of black clam in a tropical estuarine system, Southwest coast of India
Arunpandi, N.; Jyothibabu, R.; Jagadeesan, L.; Parthasarathi, Singaram; Savitha, M.K.M.; Albin, K.J.; Pandiyarajan, R.S. (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
Karnan, C.; Jyothibabu, R.; Arunpandi, N.; Albin, K.J.; Parthasarathi, S. (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 ... -
Response of microplankton size structure to summer stratification, freshwater influx and coastal upwelling in the Southeastern Arabian Sea
Karnan, C.; Jyothibabu, R.; Arunpandi, N.; Albin, K.J.; Parthasarathi, S.; SanthiKrishnan, S. (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 ... -
Seasonal variation of phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing in a tropical coastal water (off Kochi), Southwest coast of India
Anjusha, A.; Jyothibabu, R.; Jagadeesan, L.; Savitha, K.M.M.; Albin, K.J. (Elsevier, 2018)Phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing in the coastal waters off Kochi, Southwest coast of India, were assessed during three seasons (Pre-Monsoon; Southwest Monsoon and Northeast Monsoon) using the dilution ... -

(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, ...
