Diagenesis and bioavailability of mercury in the contaminated sediments of Ulhas Estuary, India
(Elsevier, 2009)
Sequential extraction of Hg was performed in a core collected from intertidal area in Ulhas Estuary in order to characterize the downward distribution and diagenetic behavior of Hg in a polluted estuary. Concentration of ...

(Springer, 2009)
Venerid clam, Paphia malabarica Chemnitz, is the commercially exploited species distributed exclusively in Vembanad Lake and Ashtamudi estuary, along the south west coast of India. In this study, the survival rate and ...
Effect of water quality parameters on the distribution of Pleuromamma (Copepoda-Calanoida) species in the Indian Ocean: A statistical approach
(Springer, 2009)
The region between 10 degrees N and 10 degrees S latitude was known to be congenial for distribution of Pleuromamma species. Diel and ontogenetic migrations were observed for Pleuromamma xiphias. Multivariate analyses such ...
Phenanthrene and nitrite effects on juvenile sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax, using hepatic biotransformation enzymes, biliary fluorescence, and micronuclei as biomarkers
(Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, 2009)
Aquatic organisms may absorb organic compounds mainly from water and by ingestion of contaminated food. The toxicity of such compounds may be intensified by the presence of certain inorganic compounds such as nitrite (NO ...
Effects of natural and human-induced hypoxia on coastal benthos
(European Geosciences Union, 2009)
Coastal hypoxia (defined here as <1.42 ml L sup(-1); 62.5 mew M; 2 mg L sup(-1), approx. 30% oxygen saturation) develops seasonally in many estuaries, fjords, and along open coasts as a result of natural upwelling or from ...
Distribution of butyltins (TBT, DBT, MBT) in sediments of Gulf of Cadiz (Spain) and its bioaccumulation in the clam Ruditapes philippinarum
(Springer, 2009)
Surface sediment samples were analyzed for organotins namely tributyltin (TBT), dibutyltin and monobutyltin from six areas located in the Gulf of Cadiz (14 stations), Spain. The total butyltin ranged between undetected and ...
