- •
Mesozooplankton biomass in the central and western Bay of Bengal invariant spatio-temporally in the mixed layer
- •
Zooplankton production averages 70% of the primary production.
- •
Temporal shift in zooplankton control of primary production in the central Bay during SpIM (ZP: PP, 188% and Grazing: PP 83%).
- •
Net heterotrophy likely to prevail during SpIM in the central Bay and during most part of the year in the western Bay.
