TL;DR: In this paper, three different and spatially varying physical processes were identified in the upper 300m: (I) an anticyclonic warm gyre offshore in the southern Bay; (II) a cyclonic eddy in the northern Bay; and (III) an upwelling region adjacent to the southern coast.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the hydrographic characteristics of the southwest coast of India and its adjoining Cochin backwaters (CBW) during the summer monsoon period and observed anomalous formation of anoxia and denitrification were observed in the bottom layers of CBW, which have not been previously reported elsewhere in any tropical estuarine systems.

TL;DR: A comparison of average trace metal concentrations in the zooplankton from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal showed that the enrichment of Fe, Zn, Cd, Ni, Cu, and Pb may be due to high bioaccumulation factor of these elements as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Zooplankton showed a great capacity for accumulations of trace metals, with average concentration factors of 4 867 929 ± 569 971, 246 757 ± 51 321, 337 180 ± 125 725, 43 480 ± 11 212, and 15 420 ± 9201 for Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb with respect to dissolved concentrations in coastal and offshore waters of the Bay of Bengal.

TL;DR: The average concentration of Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb in zooplankton from the Bay of Bengal indicates that it is slightly enriched in coastal samples than offshore samples, while the heavy river discharge in the east coast of India might be related to the increased metal bioavailabilities in seawater and hence an increased uptake of metals by zoopbodies from coastal areas than offshore areas.
