Spatial variation of Arsenic in the Estuarine Zone of Two Different Tropical Rivers
نویسنده
چکیده
This study represents distribution of Arsenic in two different estuaries, one is Himalayan source and another is non-Himalayan source. Arsenic concentration in river water, pore water and ground water was found to be significantly higher in the Mahanadi estuary could be due to fringing mangrove than that of Hooghly-Saptamukhi estuary with thick mangrove ecosystem.

Spatial and Temporal Variation in Copepod Community in the Helleh River Estuary – South Coast of Iran, Persian Gulf
Copepods are the main zooplankton assemblages in most tropical and semi-tropical estuaries. In this research, copepod population dynamics were investigated in Helleh River estuary, Persian Gulf during four seasons beginning from summer 2011 to spring 2012. Samples were taken using plankton net with mesh size of 140 µm and vertical towing from 5 fixed-stations in mid-season. Results showed that...
متن کاملOtolith microchemistry of tropical diadromous fishes: spatial and migratory dynamics.
Otolith microchemistry was applied to quantify migratory variation and the proportion of native Caribbean stream fishes that undergo full or partial marine migration. Strontium and barium water chemistry in four Puerto Rico, U.S.A., rivers was clearly related to a salinity gradient; however, variation in water barium, and thus fish otoliths, was also dependent on river basin. Strontium was the ...

The Brazilian coastal zone extends from 4º N to 34º S latitude and because of its long extension, the interface zone from continent to ocean includes a high diversity of geomorphologic and oceanographic characteristics. The rivers from the Northeast and East regions are marked by a typical unimodal seasonal flux patterns but with different amplitudes. As the climate indicates, the rivers from t...
