A first report on a bloom of the marine prymnesiophycean, Phaeocystis globosa from the Arabian Sea
Madhupratap, M.; Sawant, S.S.; Gauns, M. (Ifremer/ CNRS/ IRD/ Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS. Tous droits reserves, 2000)A thick bloom of the marine prymnesiophycean, Phaeocystis globosa was observed in the central Arabian Sea during the summer monsoon period (July-August, 1996). The cells were mostly in colonial form, embedded in gelatinous ... -

A study on the zooplankton of the Burhabalanga Estuary, Orissa Coast
Ramaiah, Neelam; Chatterji, A.; Madhupratap, M. (Indian National Science Academy, 1996)Annual variations in the zooplankton biomass and composition during 1991-92 were studied from the inshore, mouth and upstream regions of the Burhabalanga Estuary located in the Orissa Coast (India). Zooplankton biomass was ... -
Abundance and relationship of bacteria with transparent exopolymer particles during the 1996 summer monsoon in the Arabian Sea
Ramaiah, N.; Sarma, V.V.S.S.; Gauns, M.; DileepKumar, M.; Madhupratap, M. (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2000)Bacterial abundance and production, numbers, sizes and concentrations of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) and total organic carbon (TOC) were measured during the 1996 summer monsoon to understand the relationship ... -

Annual Variations in Zooplankton from a Polluted Coastal Environment
Haridas, P.; Menon, P.G.; Madhupratap, M. (Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1980)Seasonal changes in the composition and distribution of zooplankton from the coastal waters of Trivandrum were studied. The study indicated that the effluent discharged from a nearby titanium dioxide factory did not affect ... -
Arabian Sea oceanography and fisheries
Madhupratap, M.; Nair, K.N.V.; Venugopal, P.; Gauns, M.; Haridas, P.; Gopalakrishnan, T.C.; Nair, K.K.C. (Fishery Survey of India, 2004)The physical and chemical forcing which drive the Arabian production is now fairly well understood. The main attributes, which contribute to the productivity are (1) the boundary processes which manifest as upwelling during ... -
Arabian Sea oceanography and fisheries of the west coast of India
Madhupratap, M.; Nair, K.N.V.; Gopalakrishnan, T.C.; Haridas, P.; Nair, K.K.C.; Venugopal, P.; Gauns, M. (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2001)The physical and chemical forcing, which drives the Arabian Sea production is now fairly understood. The main attributes which contribute to the productivity are (1) the boundary and open ocean processes, which manifest ... -
Archidiaptomus aroorus, a new genus and new species of Copepoda (Calanoida, Pseudodiaptomidae) from Cochin backwaters, India
Madhupratap, M.; Haridas, P. (BRILL, 1978) -
Are eddies nature’s trigger to enhance biological productivity in the Bay of Bengal?
PrasannaKumar, S.; Nuncio, M.; Kumar, A.; Sardessai, S.; DeSouza, S.N.; Gauns, M.; Ramaiah, N.; Madhupratap, M. (American Geophysical Union, 2004)The Bay of Bengal is traditionally considered to be a less productive basin compared to the Arabian Sea. Despite the contrasting chlorophyll and primary productivity pattern, sediment trap data shows that annual fluxes of ... -
Biochemical studies on some tropical estuarine zooplankton species
Madhupratap, M.; Venugopal, P.; Haridas, P. (CSIR-NISCAIR, 1979) -
Biogeochemistry of the Bay of Bengal: Physical, chemical and primary productivity characteristics of the central and western Bay of Bengal during summer monsoon 2001
Madhupratap, M.; Gauns, M.; Ramaiah, N.; PrasannaKumar, S.; Muraleedharan, P.M.; DeSousa, S.N.; Sardessai, S.; Muraleedharan, U.D. (Elsevier, 2003)Reliable data on biological characteristics from the Bay of Bengal are elusive. In this paper, we present results on physics, chemistry and biology simultaneously measured during the summer monsoon, 2001 from open ocean ... -
Biological processes of the northern Indian Ocean
Madhupratap, M.; Parulekar, A.H. (University of Hamburg, Germany, 1993)Physical processes such as wind-driven coastal run-off during the monsoons and convective overturning of surface waters due to winter cooling bring in nutrients into the euphotic zone and enhance primary productivity of ... -
Blooms of phytoplankton along the west coast of India associated with nutrient enrichment and the response of zooplankton
Nair, S.R.S.; Devassy, V.P.; Madhupratap, M. (Amsterdam: Elsevier, 1992)Incidents of blooms of phytoplankton, discolourations of coastal estuarine waters and swarms of zooplankton are regular features along the west coast of India These are generally concomitant with changes in the chemical ... -
