Taxonomic level for assessing oil spill effects on soft-bottom sublittoral benthic communities.
Infralittoral soft-bottom macrofauna abundance data collected during four-year surveys after the Aegean Sea (Galicia, Spain) and the Amoco Cadiz oil spill (Brittany, France) at a total of seven sites were analysed at three different taxonomic levels (species, genus, and family). The effects of the spills on macrofauna populations were very similar in the two areas. The post-spill time-courses o...
متن کاملDeterioration of soft-bottom benthos along the Swedish Skagerrak coast
Oxygen deficiency in the near-bottom water associated with eutrophication has been shown to have negative impacts on marine benthos in many Scandinavian waters. In the present study, the benthic fauna and the sedimentary habitat have been studied between 7 and 34 m depth; at 14 stations in three Swedish fjords in four different years, and at 12 stations along the Swedish coast in three differen...
متن کاملSoft bottom community structure and diversity in Kongsfjorden (Svalbard)
Marine diversity is currently one of the most studied topics in ecology especially under the frame of global and regional environmental changes. In the marine realm biodiversity declines from the tropics to the Arctic (Thorson 1957, Brattegard & Holthe 1997, Roy et al. 1996, 1998, Gray 2001). Habitat and environmental heterogeneity generally favour biodiversity; additionally, intermediate physi...
متن کاملcatch composition of the bottom trawl fishery along the coasts of karataş-adana (northeastern mediterranean sea)
the catch composition of the bottom trawl fishery along the coasts of karataş was evaluated in the 2002-2003 fishing season. a total of 110 species were registered, the fishes showed the highest diversity (90 species) followed by 15 crustaceans species and 5 species of cephalopods. the highest catch per unit effort (cpue) value (66.8 kg h -1 ) was recorded in september when the fishing season w...
متن کاملIntriguing diversity among diazotrophic picoplankton along a Mediterranean transect: a dominance of rhizobia
The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most oligotrophic marine areas on earth where nitrogen fixation has formally believed to play an important role in carbon and nitrogen fluxes. Although this view is under debate, the diazotrophs responsible for this activity have still not been investigated in the open sea. In this study, we characterised the surface distribution and species richness of unice...
