Environmental influences on Vibrio populations in northern temperate and boreal coastal waters (Baltic and Skagerrak Seas).
Even if many Vibrio spp. are endemic to coastal waters, their distribution in northern temperate and boreal waters is poorly studied. To identify environmental factors regulating Vibrio populations in a salinity gradient along the Swedish coastline, we combined Vibrio-specific quantitative competitive PCR with denaturant gradient gel electrophoresis-based genotyping. The total Vibrio abundance ...
متن کاملTolerance of benthic macrofauna to hypoxia and anoxia in shallow coastal seas: a realistic scenario
Oxygen depletion can lead to the collapse of benthic ecosystems, i.e. to dead zones, and large-scale biodiversity loss. Based on mortality and survival, we evaluated ranges of sensitivity and tolerance to hypoxia levels, duration of anoxia and H2S exposure across taxa and key life habits. Experiments were conducted on a sublittoral soft-bottom under realistic in situ conditions in a community s...
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 کاملHydrodynamic and pollutant transport models applied to coastal seas
Role of mathematical models and of field measurements in solving water quality problems is described. When simulating phenomena in different space and time scales there are some important differences, regarding forcing factors, time averaging and measuring technique. Two case studies are presented: (a) Modelling of mercury cycling in Trieste Bay. 2D Hydrodynamic model Is used together with a se...
