Carbon Uptake Rates in the Cochin Estuary and Adjoining Coastal Arabian Sea

Carbon uptake rates in a tropical eutrophic estuary (Cochin estuary) and the adjacent coastal Arabian Sea were measured for the first time using ¹³C-NaHCO₃ labeling technique. The rates in the estuarine water (pre-monsoon 3.0-20.4; monsoon 2.55-12.4; post-monsoon 3.1-16.3 μmol C 1⁻¹ h⁻¹) were signif...
