Alarming waterweeds proliferation in the Vembanad Lake System might significantly increase water loss through transpiration
Arunpandi, N.; Jyothibabu, R.; Dhanya, P.; Jagadeesan, L.; Rashid, C.P.; Sarath, S. (Springer, 2022)Eichhornia crassipes and Monochoria vaginalis are waterweeds, and their uncontrolled proliferation in fresh and brackish water habitats is a serious ecological problem in many parts of the world. These weeds are quite ... -
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. ... -
Microplastics in copepods reflects the manmade flow restrictions in the Kochi backwaters, along the southwest coast of India
Rashid, C.P.; Jyothibabu, R.; Arunpandi, N.; Santhikrishnan, S.; Vidhya, V.; Sarath, S.; Arundhathy, M.; Alok, K.T. (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 ... -
Microplastics in zooplankton in the eastern Arabian Sea: The threats they pose to fish and corals favoured by coastal currents
Rashid, C.P.; Jyothibabu, R.; Arunpandi, N.; Abhijith, V.T.; Josna, M.P.; Vidhya, V.; Gupta, G.V.M.; Ramanamurty, M.V. (Elsevier, 2021)The baseline study of Microplastics (MPs) in zooplankton (copepods, chaetognaths, decapods, and fish larvae) from six different zones along India's west coast (off Kanyakumari/Cape Comorin, Kochi, Mangalore, Goa, Mumbai, ... -
Response of smaller plankton to the saltwater barrage-altered hydrography of a tropical estuarine system on India's southwest coast
Arunpandi, N.; Jyothibabu, R.; Jagadeesan, L.; Arya, P.M.; Rashid, C.P.; Sarath, S. (Elsevier, 2022)This study examines how a large saltwater barrage [Thannermukkom barrage (TB)] in the Kochi backwaters (KBW), India's largest estuarine system on the west coast, affects the distribution of autotrophic small plankton ... -
Trace metals concentration in water hyacinth implicates the saltwater barrage altered hydrography of Kochi backwaters, southwest Coast of India
Arunpandi, N.; Jyothibabu, R.; Savitha, M.K.M.; Parthasarathi, S.; Rashid, C.P.; Josna, M.P.; Santhikrishnan, S.; Sarath, S.; Balachandran, K.K. (Elsevier, 2021)This study in the Kochi backwaters (KBW) presents the distribution of 9 trace metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Ni, Co, Cr, Cd, Pb) in different parts (root, stolon and leaf) of the common water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes during ...
