Coastal lagoons are recognized as specific and complex water bodies vulnerable to climate change. The focus of this study was the Curonian Lagoon, largest freshwater lagoon in Baltic Sea whole Europe. changes hydrometeorological parameters over six decades were evaluated using two periods climatological standard normal: most recent 30-year period, i.e., 1991–2020, period 1961–1990. Before stati...

Submerged macrophytes are essential elements of sublittoral ecosystems to maintain a diverse fish fauna. The aim this study was assess juvenile associated with macrophyte habitats in the Curonian Lagoon by means modified pop net method. We focused on two dominant littoral different structure (pondweed and charophyte stands). nets sampling carried out sites located freshwater oligohaline part la...

Estuaries are biogeochemical reactors able to modulate the transfer of energy and matter from watershed coastal zones retain or remove large amounts terrestrially generated nutrients. However, they may switch nutrient sink source depending upon interannual variability supply internal processes driving whole system metabolism (e.g., net autotrophic heterotrophic). We tested this hypothesis in Cu...

This work aims to determine the profiles of cyanopeptides and anatoxin synthetized by cyanobacteria in Lithuanian part Curonian Lagoon (SE Baltic Sea) characterize their spatial temporal patterns this ecosystem. Cyanometabolites were analysed a LC-MS/MS system coupled hybrid triple quadrupole/linear ion trap mass spectrometer. During investigation period (2013–2017), 10 microcystins, nodularin,...
