Seasonal and spatial variability of zooplankton diversity in North Eastern Arabian Sea along the Maharashtra coast

Latest Diversity Trend and Seasonal Abundance of Population of Zooplankton (Holoplankton) Communities in the South Caspian Sea, Iran

Seasonal variations of zooplankton communities were studied in the southern Caspian Sea for 4 successive seasons and 8 transects with 5 stations from 5 to 100 m depths which sampled during 2009. The zooplankton population constituted of 73.33% copepods, 24.21% rotifers, 2.23% cladocerans and 0.23% protozoans. Copepods were dominant at all stations with a density between 1456±531 ind. m-3 (Trans...

Trace Metal Concentrations in Zooplankton from the Eastern Arabian Sea and Western Bay of Bengal

Trace metal contents in zooplankton samples were estimated as a part of the Marine Research–Living Resource program at 24 stations in the Bay of Bengal (November, 2002) and 29 stations in the Arabian Sea (September–October, 2003) during the Cruises 209 and 217 of the Fishery and Oceanographic Research Vessel Sagar Sampada. The average metal concentrations in the Bay of Bengal zooplankton (Fe, 1...

Productivity of the Arabian Sea along the Southwest Coast of India

Monsoon plays a critical role in triggering environmental features such as seawater temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen content and nutrient generation which in turn become responsible for production of phytoplankton and zooplankton. Along the southwest coast of India the intensity of southwest monsoon as evidenced by annual rainfall showed a declining trend during the years 1983 to 1988. A...
