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 ...
Response of microplankton size structure to summer stratification, freshwater influx and coastal upwelling in the Southeastern Arabian Sea
(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 ...
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 ...
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 micro-plankton and micro-detritus on the food web in the largest monsoonal estuary along the west coast of India
(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 ...
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 ...
Coccolithophores: an environmentally significant and understudied phytoplankton group in the Indian Ocean
(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. ...
Trace metals concentration in water hyacinth implicates the saltwater barrage altered hydrography of Kochi backwaters, southwest Coast of India
(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 ...
