A study on the community structure of planktonic copepods was carried out in the down
stretch of Ashtamudi estuary (AE) for a period of two years (2018 to 2019). The copepod …

The estuary is the transition zone between the riverine and marine environments, in which
the zooplankton act as a trophic connector in the energy transfers from primary producers to …

The fish guild structure of 96 fish species inhabiting the Vembanad Lake, an open, large,
well-mixed coastal estuary along the south-west coast of India, was studied based on …

Consequences of a catastrophic flood on the habitat quality and the concurrent responses of
the bentho-pelagic community were studied in Cochin estuary, a eutrophic estuary along the …

Fluctuations in salinity are known to influence coastal marine communities. In this study, we
present the effect of salinity on the distribution characteristics of mesozooplankton in Pulicat …

This study presents how human-altered hydrographical settings (flow restrictions) impacts
the natural distribution and community structure of copepods in the Kochi Backwaters …

Spatio-temporal distribution of the macrobenthic community (> 500 μm) and the trophic
ecology of polychaetes were studied for a year in the Cochin estuary (CE) and its adjacent …

Zooplankton of seventeen Indian estuaries were investigated using plankton net (200-μM
mesh; 0.25 m 2 mouth area) during the peak discharge period of 2011. Results showed that …

In the present study, it was analyzed the structure of mesozooplankton community, and their
spatio-temporal variations along the Caeté River estuary (northeast of Pará, Brazil) …

Abstract Changes in epibenthic copepod populations markedly affect the population of
