Biogeochemical characteristics of the surface sediments along the western continental shelf of India
Jacob, J.; Jayaraj, K.A.; Rehman, H.H.; Chandramohanakumar, N.; Balachandran, K.K.; Raveendran, T.V.; Joseph, T.; Nair, M.; Achuthankutty, C.T. (Taylor & Francis, 2009)Surface sediments from the western continental shelf of India were analysed for total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), total hydrolysable carbohydrates (TCHO) and proteins (PRT) during the late summer monsoon ... -
Biogeochemistry of the surficial sediments of the western and eastern continental shelves of India
Jacob, J.; Chandramohanakumar, N.; Jayaraj, K.A.; Raveendran, T.V.; Balachandran, K.K.; Joseph, T.; Nair, M.; Achuthankutty, C.T.; Nair, K.K.C.; George, R.; Ravi, Z.P. (Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2008)Even though continental margins cover only about 7-9 % of the world ocean area, they are important sites for organic carbon accumulation and hence play a major role in biogeochemical carbon cycling. Surface sediments from ... -
Enhanced chlorophyll a and primary production in the northern Arabian Sea during the spring intermonsoon due to green Noctiluca scintillans bloom
Madhu, N.V.; Jyothibabu, R.; Maheswaran, P.A.; Jayaraj, K.A.; Achuthankutty, C.T. (Taylor & Francis, 2012)The surface waters of the northeastern Arabian Sea sustained relatively high chlorophyll a (average 0.81+ or -0.80 mg m sup(-3)) and primary production (average 29.5+ or -23.6 mgC m sup(-3)d sup(-1)) during the early spring ... -
Infaunal macrobenthic community of soft bottom sediment in a tropical shelf
Jayaraj, K.A.; Jacob, J.; DineshKumar, P.K. (Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2008)Studies of benthic communities in tropical shelf waters are limited. In this study, we deal with the infaunal benthic community of soft bottom sediment of the tropical eastern Arabian Sea shelf. Benthic macroinfauna was ... -
Influence of environmental properties on macrobenthos in the northwest Indian shelf
Jayaraj, K.A.; Jayalakshmy, K.V.; Saraladevi, K. (Springer, 2007)The paper deals with the standing stock of macrobenthic infauna and associated environmental factors influencing the benthic community in the shelf region of the northwest Indian coast. The data were collected onboard FORV ... -
Intrusion of the Bay of Bengal water into the Arabian Sea during winter monsoon and associated chemical and biological response
PrasannaKumar, S.; Narvekar, J.; Kumar, A.; Shaji, C.; Anand, P.; Sabu, P.; Rijomon, G.; Josia, J.; Jayaraj, K.A.; Radhika, A.; Nair, K.K.C. (American Geophysical Union, 2004)Situated in similar latitudes and subjected to similar atmospheric forcing, the tropical basins of the Arabian Sea looses fresh water due to excess evaporation over precipitation while Bay of Bengal receives freshwater via ... -
Mesozooplankton distribution near an active volcanic island in the Andaman Sea (Barren Island)
Pillai, H.U.K.; Jayaraj, K.A.; Rafeeq, M.; Jayalakshmi, K.J.; Revichandran, C. (Springer, 2011)The study addresses the distribution and diversity of mesozooplankton near the active volcano-Barren Island (Andaman Sea) in the context of persistent volcanic signature and warm air pool existing for the last few months. ... -
Response of infaunal macrobenthos to the sediment granulometry in a tropical continental margine southwest coast of India
Jayaraj, K.A.; Sheeba, P.; Jacob, J.; Revichandran, C.; Arun, P.K.; Praseeda, K.S.; Nisha, P.A.; Rasheed, K.A. (Elsevier, 2008)Surficial sediment samples, collected from the continental margin of the southwest coast of India in July 2004, were examined for the grain size and soft-bottom macrobenthic fauna, to understand the sediment granulometry ... -
Seasonal cycle of physical forcing and biological response in the Bay of Bengal
PrasannaKumar, S.; Nuncio, M.; Narvekar, J.; Ramaiah, N.; Sardessai, S.; Gauns, M.; Fernandes, V.; Paul, J.T.; Jyothibabu, R.; Jayaraj, K.A. (NISCAIR, CSIR, 2010)Seasonal cycle of the physical processes and the biological response in the Bay of Bengal were studied using co-located physical, chemical and biological data collected along the central and the western Bay covering four ...
