 An analysis of eight microsatellite loci in 90 individuals was performed to define the genetic structure and variability of three estuarine populations of Coilia mystus: 30 individuals each  collected from ChangJiang River (Yangtze River) estuary-CJ, MinJiang River estuary-MJ, and ZhuJiang River (Pearl River) estuary-ZJ. The results showed polymorphic information contents (PIC) of 0.78, 0.77, a...

An index (EQUATION* Estuarine QUAlity and condiTION) is presented for integrated evaluation of estuarine quality, based on an aggregation of four di!erent components: vulnerability, measuring the physical capacity of the system to react to change, water quality, which examines trophic status and eutrophication aspects, sediment quality, which looks at the sediments and benthic fauna, and tropho...

Nine chemically defined inoculation diluents, with compositions ranging from 0.85% NaCl to 35% marine salts, were used to evaluate the influence of diluent composition on the biochemical profiles of 30 marine and estuarine bacterial strains, including species of Vibrio, Aeromonas, Allomonas, and Photobacterium. Results demonstrated that a 20% marine salts diluent enabled the characterization of...

The volume reviewed here is part of a series on the history of Asian-European interactions and a result of the highly successful TANAP (Towards a New Age of Partnership) program that was carried out at Leiden University, the Netherlands, from 2001 to 2006 by a score of young Asian, South African, and European scholars. Seeking to better understand the Asian-European interactions in early modern...

This study highlights the behaviour of Mercury in the abiotic and biotic segments of the Mandovi-Zuari estuarine system. Spatial, seasonal (Premonsoon and Postmonsoon) and tidal, distribution of THg in dissolved/particulate fractions, sediment concentrations were mapped of the river mouths, Mormugao Port, inner and outer environs of this estuarine system. Observed seasonal partition studies pro...
