Removal of Marine Worms from the Surface of Oyster Shells Using Salt Brine
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Background There are a variety of marine worm species that commonly inhabit the benthic sediment of oyster growing areas. Because of the oysters proximity to the substrate, benthic worms may often be found in the external crevices of oyster shells. As well, the worms may inhabitant the holes in oyster shells created by the boring sponge Cliona sp. which bore holes when feeding on the oyster shell. Marine worm species do not harm the oyster, nor do they provide any public health risk

Crude Oil Desalting by Using Nanocarbon
In the process of crude oil desalination, the aim is to separate dispersed phase of brine from oil phase. The project aim is the use of carbon nano-adsorbent for remov-al of salt from crude oil that, unlike other methods of salt separation from crude oil currently used, is a simple, inexpensive method with good ability to remove salt from crude oil. In this study, first, four types of carbon ad...
متن کاملDenitrification potential of the eastern oyster microbiome using a 16S rRNA gene based metabolic inference approach
The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) is a foundation species providing significant ecosystem services. However, the roles of oyster microbiomes have not been integrated into any of the services, particularly nitrogen removal through denitrification. We investigated the composition and denitrification potential of oyster microbiomes with an approach that combined 16S rRNA gene analysis, me...
متن کاملLiving oysters and their shells as sites of nitrification and denitrification.
Oysters provide a critical habitat, are a food resource for higher trophic levels and support important commercial fisheries throughout the world. Oyster reefs can improve water quality by removing phytoplankton. While sediment denitrification may be enhanced adjacent to oyster reefs, little is known about nitrification and denitrification associated with living oysters and their shells. We mea...

Abstract In this work, removal of phenanthrene and acenaphthene, as a representative of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, was investigated from soil samples by the soil washing remediation method combined with Central Composite Design. Response surface methodology was utilized to investigate the individual and interactive effects of three variables of removal process including surfactant solut...
متن کاملToxinology of Venomous Marine Worms; A Review
Although the widespread distribution of venomous marine worms around the world, the structural and toxinologcal studies of their toxins are still limited.This study was aimed to evaluate the toxicity of poisonous marine worms. Touching the cilium of Chloeia flava and Sipuncula marine worms cause painful inflammation of the skin. Many species of nemertines prey their victims by a flexible prob...
