Monitoring nitrogen pollution in seasonally-pulsed coastal waters requires judicious choice of indicator species.
We compared the sensitivity of algae and hermit crabs to seasonal shifts in the dominance of continuous sewage discharge vs. pulsed inputs of terrestrial material to a subtropical bay. During periods of low rainfall, when sewage was proportionately more important than diffuse loads from adjacent catchments, algae and crabs provided comparable information on the spatial distribution of N polluti...
متن کاملReal Abilities and Problems of Laser Monitoring (in Situ) of Oil Pollution in Coastal Marine Waters
The paper summarizes results of laboratory and field experiments as well as of computer modelling obtained by the authors in 1998-2000 within the scope of their joint INTAS project, and of the Russian federal program 'Integratsiya'. It has been found that at oil pollution (OP) concentrations in water at concentrations of tens of micrograms per litre the intensity of their fluorescence band is s...
متن کاملMonitoring of fecal pollution in coastal waters by use of rapid enzymatic techniques.
Enzyme assays for 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-galactopyranosidase and 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-glucuronidase activities were used for rapid detection (25 min) of fecal water pollution and to determine the impact of sewage discharge in coastal waters. Two coastal areas were investigated: (i) an estuary characterized by a high degree of contamination downstream of a discharge from a sewage tre...
متن کاملEvaluation of fecal pollution in coastal Italian waters
Direct detection of fecal coliforms as indicators of fecal pollution may assess water quality more accurately than culture methods. An irnmunochemical technique involving the use of specific antibodies was applied in addition to plate counts to evaluate Escherichia coliin seawater samples from different coastal areas in southern Italy. The immunofluorescent method showed high specificity for en...
متن کاملMicrobial and nutrient pollution of coastal bathing waters in Mauritius.
The coastal pollution problem in Mauritius is exacerbated by the hydrogeology of the volcanic substratum. Bacterial contamination of bathing waters and nutrients, water temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen (DO) were monitored at three different spatial and temporal scales along the coastline of Mauritius during 1997-1998. Standard techniques for water sample collection and analysis set b...
