Short communication: Microfibre pollution hotspots in river sediments adjacent to South Africa’s coastline

Microplastic pollution in St. Lawrence River sediments

Although widely detected in marine ecosystems, microplastic pollution has only recently been documented in freshwater environments, almost exclusively in surface waters. Here, we report microplastics (polyethylene microbeads, 0.40– 2.16 mm diameter) in the sediments of the St. Lawrence River. We sampled 10 freshwater sites along a 320 km section from Lake St. Francis to Québec City by passing s...

heavy metal pollution in kabini river sediments

the river kabini which is tributary of cauvery drains through industrial area at nanjangud, karnataka. out of the sediment load carried by the river, 2micron the clay fraction was analyzed for total heavy metal contents and advanced statistical techniques such as cluster analysis and correlation matrix were applied in order to investigate the source of heavy metal concentration in the sediments...

Short communication: Morphological analysis of Alburnoides samiii from Toolkhone river, Guilan province, south Caspian Sea basin

This study investigated the effect of the installation of flood dams on the morphological variation of Alburnoides samiii Mousavi-Sabet, Vatandoust & Doadrio, 2015, in Toolkhone River, origin from Somam Mountain, the South Caspian Sea basin, north of Iran. Multivariate analysis (MANOVA) was employed for morphometric characteristics of the fish inhabit upstream and downstream of the dams. Signif...
