The temperature of water in lakes, rivers and streams has a fundamental influence on aquatic organisms, ecological processes and the potency of many pollutants. We expect water temperature in the UK to increase under projected climate change, but rates and spatial variation of change remain unclear for inland waters. It is also unclear how we might manage land and river flow regimes to modify r...

The inland farming of penaeid shrimp in low-salinity waters is now de facto in many regions of the world, yet there is little information pertaining to the suitability of waters with various ionic compositions for shrimp culture. In the present study, short-term (48 h) survival of Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei postlarvae (PL), and long-term (4 weeks) growth and survival of juvenile...

OBJECTIVE This retrospective population-based study examined drowning location by the site of immersion for both fatal and non-fatal drowning events in Queensland. Drowning location is not routinely collected, and this study used data linkage to identify drowning sites. The resulting enhanced quality data quantify drowning incidence for specific locations by geographic region, age group and by ...

888 PERSPECTIVES as much terrestrial carbon is received by inland waters as reaches the world's oceans (11). Calcareous catchments also release considerable carbon to lakes as bicarbonate and carbonate. In total, inland waters may bury about four times as much carbon as do the oceans (10). Much of the organic carbon received by lakes is mineralized and emitted to the atmosphere as carbon dioxid...

Chlorophyll-a (chl-a) is a central water quality parameter that has been estimated through remote sensing bio-optical models. This work evaluated the performance of three well established reflectance based bio-optical algorithms to retrieve chl-a from in situ hyperspectral remote sensing reflectance datasets collected during three field campaigns in the Funil reservoir (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)....
