Variation of a benthic heterotrophic bacteria community with different respiratory metabolisms in Coyuca de Benítez coastal lagoon (Guerrero, Mexico).
The fluctuations of the number, biomass and composition of the heterotrophic community were studied daily for two days, according to depth, pH, Eh, O2 and organic carbon concentration within a zone of the canal between the Coyuca de Benitez lagoon (Guerrero, Mexico) and the coastal waters. At the three moments of the day studied (6 am, 2 pm and 10 pm), the oxygen concentrations in the overlying...
متن کاملEffect of the burrowing crab Chasmagnathus granulata (Dana) on the benthic community of a SW Atlantic coastal lagoon
This study evaluated the effect of the burrowing crab Chasmagnathus granulata on the benthic community in mudflats of the Mar Chiquita coastal lagoon (Argentina, 378 459 S, 578 269 W). A significantly higher abundance of the polychaete Laeonereis acuta was found inside the C. granulata crab bed than outside. However, L. acuta abundance decreased in summer probably due to the greater activity of...
متن کاملBenthic ecosystem functioning in hydrocarbon and heavy-metal contaminated sediments of an Adriatic lagoon
Sediment samples were collected in 4 sites along a salinity gradient (between 0.2 and 27.3) of the Aussa River (Marano Lagoon, northern Adriatic Sea, Italy) and a decreasing gradient of industrial contamination downstream (from Stn A1 to Stn A4) to assess how a riverine-lagoonal system responds to chemical contamination by applying an integrative measure of its benthic ecological properties. Be...
متن کاملEutrophication of a Maryland/Virginia Coastal Lagoon: a Tipping Point, Ecosystem Changes, and Potential Causes
Water quality in the Maryland/Virginia Coastal Bays has been declining for many years from anthropogenic inputs, but conditions appear to have worsened abruptly following a shift from long-term dry to long-term wet conditions in the early 2000s. Annually and regionally averaged total nitrogen concentrations are approximately twofold higher, but ammonium (NH4 ) concentrations are up to an order ...
متن کاملInfaunal Characteristics of Benthic Foraminifera from the Muthupet Lagoon Ecosystem, South-East Coast of India
A thorough review of literature showed that very little work has been carried out on foraminifera from the Muthupet Lagoon. The most notable research in this aspect has been the recent findings by Rajeshwara Rao et al. (2013), who provided an insight into the ecology of one particular species, Asterorotalia trispinosa (Thalmann, 1933). Infaunal habitat preferences of benthic foraminifera, howev...
