Background: The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between soil environmental factors and halophyte distribution in the west coast of South Korea. Soils of our study sites were categorized into two groups: salt marsh and estuary marsh. Results: Salinity was higher in the salt marsh group than that in the estuary marsh group. However, total nitrogen, silt, and clay content...

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...

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...
