Microplastics in copepods reflects the manmade flow restrictions in the Kochi backwaters, along the southwest coast of India
(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 ...
Alarming waterweeds proliferation in the Vembanad Lake System might significantly increase water loss through transpiration
(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 ...
Distinctive phytoplankton size responses to the nutrient enrichment of coastal upwelling and winter convection in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2022)
Even though the seasonal pattern of phytoplankton biomass distribution in the seas around India is reasonably well understood, there is relatively little information on phytoplankton size classes. The current study shows ...
Copepod carcasses in the western Bay of Bengal and associated ecology
(Springer, 2022)
Although a portion of all copepods in the natural environment are physiologically inactive or dead, there is little data on this aspect in Indian seas. Using the classical neutral red live staining technique, the dead ...
Response of smaller plankton to the saltwater barrage-altered hydrography of a tropical estuarine system on India's southwest coast
(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 ...
