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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Impact of human-altered hydrographical setting on the Copepod community structure in an extensive tropical estuary along the southwest coast of India
(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 ...
Role of riverine inputs, low saline plume advection and mesoscale physical processes in structuring the Chlorophyll a distribution in the western Bay of Bengal during Fall Inter Monsoon
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study delineates the role of small and medium river inputs, Low Saline Plume Advection (LSPA) and eddies in hydrography alteration and Chlorophyll a (Chl. a) in the Western Bay of Bengal. Samples were collected across ...
Why the Gulf of Mannar is a marine biological paradise?
(Springer, 2021)
The Gulf of Mannar (GoM), located between India and Sri Lanka, has astonishing faunal richness and diversity. Two oceanographic data sets supplemented with satellite remote sensing observations are discussed here to show ...
Copepods size structure in various phases of a cold-core eddy - Normalised Abundance Size Spectra (NASS) approach.
(Pergamon, 2020)
The present study addresses the copepods size structure in different phases of a cold-core eddy based on a 17 day time-series measurement (21st February to 8th March 2016) from a coastal site in the western Bay of Bengal ...
