Resilience of benthic deep-sea fauna to mining activities.
With increasing demand for mineral resources, extraction of polymetallic sulphides at hydrothermal vents, cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts at seamounts, and polymetallic nodules on abyssal plains may be imminent. Here, we shortly introduce ecosystem characteristics of mining areas, report on recent mining developments, and identify potential stress and disturbances created by mining. We analyz...
متن کاملIdentification of Appropriate Modelling Method for Value Reference Model
The focus of this paper is towards identification of an appropriate Modelling Method for the Value Reference Model. In order to address such challenge, paper first outlines a brief use case description to identify the object under observation and to define the actual purpose of modelling. Second, an application of the Generic Modelling Method Specification framework is outlined and applied for ...
متن کاملBenthic Fauna of Shadegan Wetland
Biological response and ecological indices of benthic communities, such as greater mortality of foraminifera and shell abnormalities, have been used to document pollution effects on ecosystems. Shadegan Wetland was damaged from a deposition of huge amounts of soot and products of burning oilwells of Kuwait as well as chronic exhaust fumes of refinery and industrial furnaces. In this investigati...
متن کاملDistribution and biomass of macrobenthic fauna in the Chabahar Bay (North Eastern Sea of Oman)
Population density, distribution and biomass of macrobenthic fauna in Chabahar Bay were investigated from May 1995 to March 1996 on a bimonthly basis. The most abundant groups were Amphipods (21%), Polychaetes (19%), Gastropods (15.7%) and Bivalves (10.6%). Maximum (13000 individuals/m2) and minimum (4600 individuals/m2) were observed in May and July respectively. The changes in density were in...
