pH variability off Goa (eastern Arabian Sea) and the response of sea urchin to ocean acidification scenarios

Abstract

The Arabian Sea (AS) shows pronounced features in biogeochemical properties such as oxygen minimum zone (OMZ), secondary chlorophyll maxima and denitrification. However, the main constraint to study decadal changes in such biogeochemical properties lies in paucity of good quality long-term regional database. Arabian Sea has already shown changes in the plankton communities (do
