Productivity of the Arabian Sea alongThe southwest coast of India
1992
Monsoon plays a critical role in triggering environmental features such as seawater temperature, salinity,
disolved 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. An attmpt is made here to correlate certain environmental
features with the abundance and fluctuations in phytoplankton and zooplankton in the inshore waters off
Cochin, Vizhinjam and Minicoy.
