Abstract
Impacts of river discharge on coastal ocean processes are multi-dimensional. Studies on sinking particle fluxes, composition and their seasonal variability in coastal oceans are very limited. In this study, we investigated the impact of river discharge on seasonal variability in sinking fluxes of total mass, biogenic and lithogenic material in a river-dominated continental margin, western coastal Bay of Bengal. Higher POC, lithogenic and total mass fluxes were found during early southwest monsoon, and are decoupled with peak river discharge and elevated primary production. It is attributed to cross-shelf transport of re-suspended surface sediments from shelf region. Peak river discharge followed by elevated chlorophyll-a suggest nutrients supply though river discharge support primary production. Elemental C:N ratios, δ13C and δ15N results likely suggest that both marine and terrestrial sources contributed to sinking POM, . Overall, higher sinking fluxes during southwest monsoon than rest of the year suggest that seasonal river discharge exerts considerable impact on sinking fluxes in the western coastal Bay of Bengal.

Abstract
Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) are the hidden fluid flow skeletons that provide meaningful information about the Lagrangian circulation. In this study, we computed the monthly climatological LCSs (cLCS) maps utilizing 24 years (1994-2017) of HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) currents and ECMWF re-analysis winds in the Bay of Bengal (BoB). The seasonal reversal of winds and associated reversal of currents makes the BoB dynamic. Therefore, we primarily aim to reveal the cLCSs associated with seasonal monsoon currents and mesoscale (eddies) processes over BoB. The simulated cLCS were augmented with the complex empirical orthogonal functions to confirm the dominant lagrangian transport pattern features better. The constructed cLCS patterns show a seasonal accumulation zone and the transport pattern of freshwater plumes along the coastal region of the BoB. We further validated with the satellite imagery of real-time oil spill dispersion and modelled oil spill trajectories that match well with the LCS patterns. In addition, the application of cLCSs to study the transport of hypothetical oil spills occurring at one of the active oil exploration sites (Krishna-Godavari basin) was described. Thus, demonstrated the accumulation zones in the BoB and confirmed that the persistent monthly cLCS maps are reasonably performing well for the trajectory prediction of pollutants such as oil spills. These maps will help to initiate mitigation measures in case of any occurrence of oil spills in the future.

Abstract
Marine environments wherein long-term microbial oxygen consumption exceeds oxygen replenishment can be associated with oxygen minimum zones (OMZ). The Bay of Bengal OMZ (BOB-OMZ) is one of the most intense OMZs globally. To assess the contribution of bacterial oxygen consumption to oxygen loss in BOB-OMZ, we measured bacterial production (BP), temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen (DO) in the whole water column. We then compared the estimated bacterial oxygen demand (BOD) with diapycnal oxygen supply (DOS) at depths of 50-200 m in the southern BOB in January 2020. The average BP was 3.53 ± 3.15 μmol C m-3 h-1 in the upper 200 m of four stations, which was lower than those reported in other tropical waters. The vertical distribution of BP differed between the open ocean and nearshore areas. In the open ocean, temperature and DO were the most important predictors for BP in the whole water column. In the nearshore areas, when DO increased sharply from the suboxic state, extremely high BP occurred at 200 m. The average estimated BOD/DOS could reach up to 153% at depths of 50-200 m, indicating advection and anticyclonic eddies probably are important DO replenishment pathways in the BOB.

Observed evidence for the impact of coastal currents on the recurrent Noctiluca scintillans blooms in the northwest Indian Ocean coast. MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN 2023; 194:115426. [PMID: 37611339 DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2023.115426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023]
Abstract
Recently, South Eastern Arabian Sea (SEAS) experiences recurrent winter blooms of green Noctiluca scintillans with serious ecological consequences. Here, the analysis of green N. scintillans blooms in SEAS for the past three consecutive years (2018-2021) is presented. The daily monitoring showed intense winter blooms during November with stable sea surface temperatures, high nitrate-phosphate concentrations and relatively lower pH levels. Dissolved oxygen concentration decreased to near hypoxia in the later stages of the bloom. Our analysis finds that the increased occurrence of N. scintillans blooms along SEAS is driven by the coastal currents (EICC), which transport the bloom species from the east coast (south west Bay of Bengal) to west coast of India. Therefore, the N. scintillans seeding from the South west Bay of Bengal intensifies winter blooms in SEAS, thus unveils the influence of oceanic currents in deciding the phytoplankton blooms across the coastal regions of north Indian Ocean.

Abstract
Increasing urbanisation and industrialisation of the Visakhapatnam region have brought domestic sewage and industrial wastewater discharge into the coastal ocean. This study examines the indicator and pathogenic bacteria's quantitative abundance and antibiotic susceptibility. This study collected surface and subsurface water samples from ten different regions (147 stations; 294 samples), including 12 industrial discharge points, surrounding stations and two harbours from the coast of Pydibheemavaram to Tuni. Physicochemical parameters like salinity, temperature, fluorescence, pH, total suspended matter, nutrients, chlorophyll-a and dissolved oxygen showed a difference between regions. We noticed the presence of indicator (Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis) and pathogenic (Aeromonas hydrophila, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella and Shigella, Vibrio cholera and Vibrio parahaemolyticus) bacteria among the samples. Waters from the near harbour and Visakhapatnam steel plant showed lower bacterial load with no direct input from industries to the coastal water. Samples collected during the industrial discharge period had a higher bacterial load, including E. coli. Enteric bacteria were found in higher numbers at most stations. Some isolates were resistant to multiple antibiotics with higher antibiotic resistance and multiple antibiotic resistance indexes compared with the other coastal water habitats in the Bay of Bengal. The occurrence of these bacteria above the standard limits and with multiple antibiotic resistance in the study region may pose a potential threat to the local inhabitants. It can create an alarming situation in the coastal waters in the study region.

Abstract
The present study is focused on understanding long-term trend in distribution of chlorophyll-a and its association with water quality parameters in coastal waters of northwestern Bay of Bengal. In situ observations were carried out in monthly frequency during January 2009 to March 2017 at two ecologically important study sites, off Gopalpur and off Visakhapatnam. A bimodal distribution of chlorophyll-a was observed off Gopalpur with primary and secondary peak during pre- and post-monsoon, respectively. In contrast, maximum chlorophyll-a concentration was noticed in monsoon irrespective of sporadic higher magnitudes during pre-monsoon in coastal waters off Visakhapatnam. The pivotal role of river influx and coastal upwelling was discerned in enriching coastal waters off Gopalpur with macronutrients and in turn on chlorophyll-a distribution. Adequate availability of silicate signified favorable condition for diatom growth in coastal waters off Gopalpur leading to preponderance. Influence of coastal upwelling and nutrient-controlled growth of phytoplankton was observed in coastal waters off Visakhapatnam.

Thermohaline Structures and Heat/Freshwater Transports of Mesoscale Eddies in the Bay of Bengal Observed by Argo and Satellite Data. REMOTE SENSING 2019.

Abstract
Knowledge of mesoscale eddies in the Bay of Bengal (BOB) is key for further understanding the climate variability in this region and beyond, but little is known about the vertical structure of these eddies. In this study, the three−dimensional structure and transport characteristics of mesoscale eddies in the BOB were comprehensively investigated by the combined use of Argo profiles and satellite data. The composite analysis showed that eddy−induced ocean anomalies are mainly confined to the upper 300 m of the water. The spatial structure of eddy−induced thermohaline perturbations is characterized by a dominant dipole structure in the near surface layer, arising from horizontal advection of the background thermohaline gradient by eddy rotation, and a monopole structure in the subsurface layer, caused by eddy−induced vertical displacements of the isopycnal surfaces. In the eddy core, the maximum temperature anomalies induced by a cyclonic eddy (CE) and an anticyclonic eddy (AE) are about −1.2 °C and +1.2 °C, respectively. The anomalies are located at approximately 100 m. The corresponding salinity anomalies are located at approximately 50 m with a value of −0.1 psu (0.1 psu) for CE (AE). The eddy thermohaline structure has a seasonal character. A deeper temperature and salinity core occurs in both CE and AE in spring compared to that in other seasons, which is primarily caused by the relatively deep thermocline and halocline during that season. In addition, unique warming anomalies induced by CE are present in the mixed layer during winter due to the vertical advection of the BL (Barrier Layer) warmer water by eddies. The total meridional heat transport induced by the composite eddy is poleward (equatorward) south (north) to 10°N with a value of 0.01 PW (−0.013 PW), whereas the total meridional freshwater transport is equatorward with a value of 0.046 Sv over a one−year period. The volume of freshwater export out of the bay is approximately 35% of the annual net freshwater input from local precipitation and river discharge.

Abstract
Phytoplankton are the basis of primary production and play important roles in regulating energy export in marine ecosystems. Compared to other regions, chromophytic phytoplankton are considerably understudied in the Bay of Bengal (BOB). Here, we investigated community structure and spatial distribution of chromophytic phytoplankton in the BOB by using RuBisCO genes (Form ID rbcL). High throughput sequencing of rbcL genes revealed that diatoms, cyanobacteria (Cyanophyceae), Pelagophyceae, Haptophyceae, Chrysophyceae, Eustigamatophyceae, Xanthophyceae, Cryptophyceae, Dictyochophyceae, and Pinguiophyceae were the most abundant groups recovered in the BOB. Abundances and distribution of diatoms and Pelagophyceae were further verified using quantitative PCR analyses which showed the dominance of these groups near the Equator region (p < 0.01) where upwelling was likely the source of nutrients. Further, redundancy analysis demonstrated that temperature was an important environmental driver in structuring distributions of Cyanophyceae and dominant chromophytic phytoplankton. Morphological identification and quantification confirmed the dominance of diatoms, and also detected other cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates that were missing in our molecular characterizations. Pearson’s correlations of these morphologically identified phytoplankton with environmental gradients also indicated that nutrients and temperature were key variables shaping community structure. Combination of molecular characterization and morphological identification provided a comprehensive overview of chromophytic phytoplankton. This is the first molecular study of chromophytic phytoplankton accomplished in the BOB, and our results highlight a combination of molecular analysis targeting rbcL genes and microscopic detection in examining phytoplankton composition and diversity.
