Eurihaline fish support waters with different salt concentration. However, numerous studies have shown that salinity can affect fish development. Thus, the effect of salinity change from 20 to 5 and 35 on survival, weight, length, gill chloride cell ultrastructure and gill Na+, K+ ATPase activity was evaluated in Centropomus parallelus following short-term (6, 24 and 96 hours) and long-term exp...

Trade-offs may influence both physiological and evolutionary responses to co-occurring stressors, but their effects on both plastic and adaptive responses to climate change are poorly understood. To test for genetic and physiological trade-offs incurred in tolerating multiple stressors, we hybridized two populations of the intertidal copepod Tigriopus californicus that were divergent for both h...

Improper use of land resources may result in severe soil salinization. Timely monitoring and early warning of soil salinity is in urgent need for sustainable development. This paper addresses the possibility and potential of Advanced Land Imager (ALI) for mapping soil salinity. In situ field spectra and soil salinity data were collected in the Yellow River Delta, China. Statistical analysis dem...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Mangroves of Western Gujarat (India) are subject to die-back. Salinity intolerance is one possible cause, especially in young plants. We therefore quantified the extent to which young plants of one widely occurring mangrove species (Ceriops tagal) tolerate high salt in terms of establishment, growth, water status, proline content and mineral accumulation. METHODOLOGY In a ...

We used regression analyses of water samples from 18 lakes, nine rivers, and one spring in Ethiopia to (a) test the hypothesis that water bodies of relatively higher salinity (K25 > 1000 hiS cm -1) have a different conductivity to salinity relationship than waters of lower salinity (K25 < 1000 taS cm-1), and (b) develop models to predict total cations and salinity from conductivity that can be ...

An increasing area of transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton is being planted in saline-alkaline soil in China. The Bt protein level in transgenic cotton plants and its control efficiency can be affected by abiotic stress, including high temperature, water deficiency and other factors. However, how soil salinity affects the expression of Bt protein, thus influencing the control efficienc...

in order to investigate the effects of saline waters on some soil characteristics, this experiment was conducted with three irrigation water salinity treatments contains 1.7-3.4, 8-9 and 11-12.5 dsm-1 (low, medium and high salinity) and two irrigation water managements with four replications in a wheat-fallow-sugar beet-safflower rotation. results show that in (1) irrigation management with low...

salinity is known as one of the most challenging problems in aquaculture and agriculture. this issue has posed more difficulties to the shoreline of the persian gulf. halophyte plants with their high potentials of absorbing salinity from soil and water are able to enhance the biopurification process in the environment. hydroponic is a biointegrated food production method which links recirculati...
