Macrobenthos community response to the seasonal hypoxia associated with coastal upwelling off Kochi, along the Southwest coast of India

Application of the Adjusted Sharpness Index and Estimated Condition Factor to Compare Growth Conditions of the Blood Cockle, <i>Tegillarca granosa</i>, in Penang, Perak, and Selangor, in Malaysia

“…Because fisheries target invertebrates, such as cockles, clams, and large crustaceans, are megabenthic organisms that need many months to attain a marketable body size, hypoxic events intercept their lifecycle, thereby impairing fishing and aquaculture. Hypoxia usually occurs in mid-summer within temperate regions, where benthic fauna shows a seasonal cycle in their abundance and biomass(Furota 1996, Pandiya rajan et al 2021, Rakocinski & Menke 2016, Tsutsumi 1990).…”
