Phytoplankton community structure in relation to environmental factors from the New Mangalore Port waters along the southwest coast of India
(Springer International Publishing, 2018)
Seasonal and spatial phytoplankton distribution in relation to environmental factors was investigated in New Mangalore Port, a major port along the west coast of India. A well-mixed water column characterized the non-monsoon ...
Tiniest primary producers in the marine environment: An appraisal from the context of waters around India
(Current Science Association, 2011)
Phytoplankton (0.2 mm - 2 mm) are the major primary producers in the marine environment thereby forming a basic link in the marine food web. They are categorized into different groups depending on their size range. Cells ...
Responses of the picophytoplankton community to temperature fronts in the northeastern Arabian Sea during the northeast monsoon
(Elsevier, 2018)
We investigated the responses of the picophytoplankton (< 3-μm) community to a temperature filament and front through high resolution spatial (~ 1 NM) sampling (November-23 to December-11, 2012) in the northeastern Arabian ...
Synechococcus as an indicator of trophic status in the Cochin backwaters, west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2015)
Eutrophication is a major problem in coastal water bodies. Information about the trophic status of water bodies will enable proper management of coastal ecosystems. In this regard, biological organisms which are sensitive ...
Influence of short-term hydrographic variations during the north-east monsoon on picophytoplankton community structure in the eastern Arabian Sea
(Elsevier, 2017)
The eastern Arabian Sea over the continental margin is a dynamic region subjected to short-term variability in hydrography as a result of various physical forcing such as coastal advection and vertical mixing. In order to ...
Picophytoplankton community in a tropical estuary: Detection of Prochlorococcus-like populations
(Elsevier, 2012)
The influence of hydrography on the picophytoplankton (PP) abundance in estuaries was studied by sampling along a salinity gradient in an Indian estuary. Prochlorococcus-like cells were detected at salinities ranging from ...
Dynamics of size-fractionated phytoplankton biomass in a monsoonal estuary: Patterns and drivers for seasonal and spatial variability
(Elsevier, 2018)
Phytoplankton size-fractionated biomass is an important determinant of the type of food web functioning in aquatic ecosystems. Knowledge about the effect of seasonal salinity gradient on the size-fractionated biomass ...
