Environmental monitoring of linear alkylbenzene sulfonates and physicochemical characteristics of seawater in El-Mex Bay (Alexandria, Egypt)
In the present work, the influence of different physicochemical characteristics on the distribution of anionic detergents, linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS), was studied. Surface and bottom water samples were collected from eight different sites from a small bay near the main sewage discharge of Alexandria City (El-Max Bay). The results showed great variations in the concentrations, as a fun...
متن کاملTrace Metal Behavior in Mediterranean-Climate Coastal Bay: El-mex Bay, Egypt and its Coastal Environment

Eight metals (Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Zn, Pb, Mn and Fe) were determined in water, Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) and sediments. The Bay presents higher metal concentrations in aqueous Cd, Co and Pb are above the chronic freshwater quality criteria for aquatic life. Most of the dissolved trace metals displayed a n...
متن کاملFurther SEM assessment of radular characters of the limpets Patella caerulea Linneaus 1758 and P. rustica Linneaus 1758 (Mollusca: Gastropoda) from Antalya Bay, Turkey
This paper aims to elucidate the structure and design of radulae of 2 species of limpet, namely Patella caerulea and P. rustica. Samples were examined by light microscope and SEM. Although the general formula is the same, the pattern of each dentition differed between the 2 species. General morphology and histology of odontophore showed structural significance of the organ, suggesting a further...
متن کاملShape and growth in European Atlantic Patella limpets (Gastropoda, Mollusca). Ecological implications for survival
Accepted 25 December 2006 Copyright © EEF ISSN 1399-1183 Limpets are one of the most abundant molluscs in rocky shores. However, the rocky shore is a harsh environment, considering the huge force and impact of waves against the rocks. Additionally, at each tidal cycle, limpets are out of water for considerable period of time, being therefore exposed to high temperature and desiccation stresses....
