We investigated and compared the impact of organic loads due to the biodeposition of mussel and fish farms on the water column of a coastal area of the Tyrrhenian Sea (Western Mediterranean). Physico-chemical data (including oxygen, nutrients. DOC and particulate organic matter), microbial variables (picoplankton and picophytoplankton density and biomass) and phytoplankton biomass (as chlorophy...

We applied wave theory to calculate the extent and frequency that we would expectwav~vensurface water movements to disturb the sediments in.36 Floridalakes coveringa broad range ofsurface areas and mean depths. The calculated per cent ofthe l...

Effects of eutrophication on the relative importance of nutrients and macroherbivores as controls of microphytobenthic standing crop were examined in estuaries with different nitrogen loading rates: Sage Lot Pond (14 kg ha–1 yr–1), Green Pond (178 kg ha–1 yr–1), and Childs River (601 kg ha–1 yr–1). We selected 5 sites with similar salinity ranges on shallow-water, sandy substrates per estuary. ...

Säkylän Pyhäjärvi (SW Finland) is an example of a large and shallow lake suffering from eutrophication. During the last 20 years, the quality and general usability of water in Pyhäjärvi have shown considerable variation driven by both a variety of human activities and climate-related factors such as wet and dry years. The lake has been thoroughly studied for decades and has been the object of c...

In order to control cyanobacteria blooms with silver carp in Lake Taihu, an in situ experiment was carried out by stocking silver carp at a biomass of 35, 70, and 150 g m-3 and no carp control in waterproof enclosures. Physicochemical water parameters and biomass of plankton were measured in enclosures to evaluate the suitable stocking density of silver carp for relieving internal nutrients and...

GLOOSCIIENFVO, w. A. Nutrient-primary production relationships in central Lake Erie: A simple correlation approach. Ohio J. Sci. 75(5): 251, 1975. Correlation coefficients were determined between primary production, phytoplankton biomass as chlorophyll a, temperature, and forms of N, P, and Si in Lake Erie during 10 cruises between April and December, 1970. The Central Basin was emphasized due ...

The genomes of two closely related thermophilic cyanobacterial isolates, designated Synechococcus isolate OS-A and Synechococcus isolate OS-B', from the microbial mats of Octopus Spring (Yellowstone National Park) have been sequenced. An extensive suite of genes that are controlled by phosphate levels constitute the putative Pho regulon in these cyanobacteria. We examined physiological response...
