Estuary basin is a fertile area which has important role for sustaining many organisms from estuary and sea. Mould and other saprobic microorganisms have important role to decomposing organic material in estuary water. A study on diversity and abundance of mould inhabiting Muara Layang estuary sediment, Bangka Belitung Islands has not been conducted before. The objective of this study is to inv...

Chemical and isotopic (δ13C and δ15N) investigation of the Mandovi estuary along the Indian west coast affected strongly by the seasonal monsoon cycle was carried out. The Mandovi estuary is a major waterway for Goa and extensively used for transportation of iron and manganese ore. In addition, with large population centers as well as agricultural fields located on its shores, the estuary is as...

This study aimed at detecting the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant serotypes of Escherichia coli in Cochin estuary, India. E. coli strains were isolated during the period January 2010-December 2011 from five different stations set at Cochin estuary. Water samples from five different stations in Cochin estuary were collected on a monthly basis for a period of two years. Isolates were serotyped...

In total 17 families comprising more than 29 species of larval teleost fishes were recorded in the Kromme Estuary during the study period. Dominant species included Atherina breviceps, Caffrogobius gilchristi, Diplodus sargus capensis, Gilchristella aestuaria, Glossogobius callidus, Rhabdosargus holubi and Rhabdosargus globiceps. The larval fish catch in the estuary indicated a marine dominance...

rate of seaward transport. Although the rate of transport out of the estuary depends on the pattern of vertical migration of developing larvae and on the variance and magnitude of residual drift and tidal currents, many larvae are probably displaced seaward during development, each stage moving further toward the mouth of the estuary (14). Any behavior that would increase the magnitude of the u...

Old Woman Creek wetland is composed of a stream and freshwater estuary and may act as a sink or transformer of nutrients entering Lake Erie. Primary productivity and respiration are indicators of ecosystem level trophic conditions and may be linked to the estuary’s effectiveness as a nutrient sink or transformer. Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve has been collecting water chem...

This study presents a methodology for combining archival data storage tags (DSTs) and ultrasonic transmitters to investigate the microhabitat conditions of adult Cancer magister (Dana), inhabiting an estuary. The temperature, salinity and depth experienced by freeranging Dungeness crabs was recorded at 10min intervals for periods ranging from 1 week to 8months. Crabs were tracked using a hydrop...

Golden Horn is an estuary in Istanbul. It has connection with Marmara Sea directly and with Black Sea via Bosphorus, and was polluted by different kinds of industrial plants up to 1999. In addition to this, municipal wastewater of around one million people has been discharged to here. Greater part of the estuary was almost blocked off by sediment islands. Extensive effort was spent to dredge se...

Estuary Ecosystem, the second largest estuary in North America and home to hundreds of species of ecological, commercial, and recreational value. Unlike other estuaries in the Mid-Atlantic, the Delaware estuary’s tide range is greater than the ocean tide range, generally about 2 meters. Beaches account for 52 percent of the bay’s shore, with marsh and eroding peat accounting for most of the rem...

Stable isotope analysis of a novel combination of carbon and nitrogen pools traced inputs and processing of primary-treated (PE) and secondary-treated effluent (SE) from a paper and pulp mill (PPM) in a temperate Australian estuary. Distinct carbon stable isotope ratios of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) near the PPM outfall indicated large PE and reduced SE inputs of DOC. DOC was remineralized ...
