Plankton Production Biology
Abstract
I continue to investigate geographic and seasonal distributions of hydrography and nutrients in respect to plankton production in the central and eastern Arabian Sea including the continental shelf of India west coast. This year I have added the central Bay of Bengal. Occasionally I comment on general oceanographic or ecological principles. The objectives during the reporting period continued to be old and new oceanographic issues about the central and eastern Arabian Sea including the Indian shelf, and now the central Bay of Bengal. Largely, cost-efficient mining of old and new oceanographic data is used, some of which are not yet in data centers. The principal tools are vertical property plots for the upper 0.5 km of the water column, temperature-salinity diagrams, and regression analysis. The work is done with colleagues at India s National Institute of Oceanography in Dona Paula (Goa). I enjoy their trust, so observations from inside the Indian EEZ are available. As always, the accuracy of the data is of concern.
