Beside that the fish species and their sub-populations are highly important as a keystone in coastal marine ecosystem, there very few studies on presence, distribution temporal variations within around lagoon ecosystems Albania. This paper provides an updated review life cycle, fishery, exploitation state management of main subject commercial fishing Karavasta lagoon, southeastern Adriatic coas...

In order to better understand environmental disturbances in the French coastal Mediterranean lagoons, we used an ecotoxicological approach based on the measurement of the toxicity of the sediments using oyster embryo bioassay that provides a basis for assessing the effects on the fauna of contaminants adsorbed on the sedimentary particles. The study covers all of the main lagoons of the French ...

Waterbirds are vital indicators of anthropogenic influence on the ecological status of Mediterranean coastal lagoons. Our study relates temporal waterbird data to key environmental gradients at catchment scale that have a structural or functional influence on littoral waterbird assemblages at different scales. During two full-year cycles and two additional wintering seasons, the nearshore water...

Abstract The São Gonçalo Channel, located in the south of Brazil, is responsible for connecting Mirim Lagoon to Patos Lagoon, constituting largest coastal lagoon system Latin America. assessment its hydraulic variables necessary given importance this channel region. Thus, study aimed evaluate performance index velocity rating curve (IVRC) method, from measurements provided by horizontal static-...

The uncontrollable population growth is reaching Benin's rivers, especially the coastal lagoon, raising then thorny problem of pollution, which considerably accentuated by malevolent behavior populations. aim this paper to characterize degree contamination water and sediments lagoon in heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Zn, Cu, Pb Fe) through dosage with molecular absorption spectrophotometer type DR 3900. ...

Habitat quality indicators for the marine coastal environment are in great demand following recent developments in the Water Framework Directive (WFD) which establishes that the ecological status of the water has to be determined by the condition of the biological elements including macrobenthos. Each member State should identify useful monitoring procedures for its water bodies and take into a...
