چکیده

The stratified estuary of the Ebro River is located on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. From samples obtained in 6 sampling campaigns between July 1999 and February 2000 from the last 18 km of Ebro River, the abundance of picocyanobacteria was estimated by epifluorescence microscopy. The abundance of picocyanobacteria reached 93.7 x106 cells L–1 in the river mouth (station R1) below the surface, in October 1999. In deeper layers of salt wedge area stations (near the river mouth), we could observe higher concentrations of marine cyanobacteria. This study offers comments about the abundance and distribution in cyanobacteria.

Perfluoroalkyl substances in the Ebro and Guadalquivir river basins (Spain).

Mediterranean rivers are characteristically irregular with changes in flow and located in high population density areas. This affects the concentration of pollutants in the aquatic environments. In this study, the occurrence and sources of 21 perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) were determined in water, sediment and biota of the Ebro and Guadalquivir river basins (Spain). In water samples, of 21 ...

Flooding Management using Hybrid Model Predictive Control at the Ebro River in Spain

In this paper, the problem of flooding management at the Ebro River in Spain is presented. The Ebro river presents flooding episodes in the city of Zaragoza in spring when snow melts in the Pyrenees. To avoid flooding in living areas, some lands outside the city are prepared to be flooded. This paper presents a hybrid model predictive control approach to determine and fix the level of flooding ...

Spatial distribution and assemblage structure of foraminifera in Nayband Bay and Haleh Estuary, North-West of the Persian Gulf

The spatial distribution of benthic foraminiferal assemblage of Nayband Bay and Haleh Estuary in the North-West of the Persian Gulf, was explored during 2011-2012 . The relationship between spatial pattern of foraminifera assemblages and the ambient factors (i.e. water temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, sediment grain size distribution, sediment organic content, and CaCO3 concentrati...

Effects of large river dam regulation on bacterioplankton community structure.

Large rivers are commonly regulated by damming, yet the effects of such disruption on prokaryotic communities have seldom been studied. We describe the effects of the three large reservoirs of the Ebro River (NE Iberian Peninsula) on bacterioplankton assemblages by comparing several sites located before and after the impoundments on three occasions. We monitored the abundances of several bacter...
