High photosynthetic benthic primary production (P) represents a key ecosystem service provided by tropical coral reef systems. However, benthic P budgets of specific ecosystem compartments such as macrophyte-dominated reef lagoons are still scarce. To address this, we quantified individual and lagoon-wide net (Pn) and gross (Pg) primary production by all dominant functional groups of benthic pr...

Ammonia-nitrogen #ux (NH -N"(14/17)NH ) was determined from six anaerobic swine waste storage and treatment lagoons (primary, secondary, and tertiary) using the dynamic chamber system. Measurements occurred during the fall of 1998 through the early spring of 1999, and each lagoon was examined for approximately one week. Analysis of #ux variation was made with respect to lagoon surface water tem...

in less than 150 words) Negombo Lagoon is one of the most productive and sensitive ecosystems in Sri Lanka. The main fresh water input comes to this lagoon from the rivers Dandugam Oya and Ja-ela. The Negombo Lagoon and its coastal environment have had a long association with the fishery industry. The salinity of Negombo Lagoon is strongly related to the monsoon rains and varies from almost zer...

Assessment of socio-economic issues of fishing community is an important aspect in framing a strategy for the preservation of eco-systems which leads to sustainable lagoon management. The present investigation analyses the current potential socio-economic status of the fishing community of Pulicat lagoon, the second largest lagoon in India. The socio-economic indicators considered in the study ...

The concentrations of malodorous compounds in a 0.4-ha anaerobic lagoon that received waste from approximately 2000 sows were monitored during the late summer to late fall of 2006 to gain insight into the factors influencing their concentrations. Selected malodorous compounds were measured by the use of equilibrium samplers consisting of submersible stir plates and stir bar sorbtive sampling wi...
