The green macroalga Cladophora glomerata, a species typical of brackish water, predominates in most coastal areas estuarine ecosystems. present study aimed to determine the current ecological conditions Neva estuary (Baltic Sea) when subjected eutrophication and summer bloom. Macroalgae bloom can result temporary unfavorable (oxygen depletion pollution) for invertebrates during macroalgae decom...

Background: Water quality monitoring is vital for the sustainable conservation of water resources. Benthic macro invertebrates have been documented as best indicators serving a link in aquatic food web. The present work was carried out at Dikhu River, Mokokchung, Nagaland. Methods: analysis samples done by adopting standard methods and compared against W.H.O. 1995 drinking standards water. macr...

We evaluated the seasonal variation in the contributions of planktonic and benthic resources to 11 littoral predators in eutrophic Lake Taihu (China) from 2004 to 2005. Seasonal fluctuations in consumer delta 13C and delta 15N were attributed to the combined impacts of temporal variation in isotopic signatures of basal resources and the diet shift of fishes. Based on a two-end-member mixing mod...

Background Alacranes Reef was declared as a National Marine Park in 1994. Since then, many efforts have been made to inventory its biodiversity. However, groups such as amphipods have been underestimated or not considered when benthic invertebrates were inventoried. Here we present a dataset that contributes to the knowledge of benthic amphipods (Crustacea, Peracarida) from the inner lagoon hab...
