Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine how larval and juvenile yellow perch Perca flavescens respond to changes in prey density when exposed to different levels and types of turbidity (phytoplanktonic or sedimentary). Across prey densities, consumption by P. flavescens tended to be less in phytoplanktonic turbidity compared with sedimentary turbidity. For larvae, this effect was dep...

We compared the effects of specimen turbidity and glycerol concentration on nine enzymatic methods for triglyceride measurement. We assayed 51 specimens with triglyceride concentrations of 0.85-8.21 mmol/L (75-727 mg/dL) and turbidity at 420 nm equivalent to > or = 0.1 mmol/L (8.8 mg/dL) triglyceride (measured as part of our comparison method). The data were analyzed by multiple regression, whi...

The objective of this paper is to study the turbidity behavior in an Amazon Floodplain Lake. Observations of turbidity provide quantitative information about water quality conditions. However, the number of available in situ measurements of water quality characteristics is usually limited, especially temporal series variables and synoptic coverage of extensive water body. In order to contribute...

In tuna farming, turbidity measurement is highly important since one of the cause of death of tuna is a choking death due to muddy water. In this paper, we consider to use visible light communication modules for estimation of turbidity in underwater environments. If these modules can be used as turbidity meters, additional introduction of dedicated turbidity meters is not necessary. In this pap...

Estuarine waters are generally more turbid than lakes or marine waters due to greater algal mass and continual re-suspension of sediments. The varying effects of diurnal and seasonal prevailing winds on the turbidity condition of a wind-dominated estuary were investigated by spatial and statistical analyses of wind direction, water level, turbidity, chlorophyll a, and PAR (Photosynthetically Ac...

Problem statement: Turbid waters, containing colloidal particles, are normally treated by coagulation-flocculation followed by clarification. Ferric chloride and alum, which are the most common types of coagulants in water treatment plants of Iran as well as many other countries, were investigated with the aim of determining their capabilities to reduce turbidity of drinking water. Turbidity wa...

Tryptophan-like fluorescence (TLF) is an indicator of human influence on water quality as TLF peaks are associated with the input of labile organic carbon (e.g. sewage or farm waste) and its microbial breakdown. Hence, real-time measurement of TLF could be particularly useful for monitoring water quality at a higher temporal resolution than available hitherto. However, current understanding of ...

The turbidity events caused by Typhoon “Kong-rey” in 2018 were selected as the measured data required to build CE-QUAL-W2 model. turbidity, water temperature, climate data, and discharge main dam used input for numerical simulations. To ensure reliability of parameters, “Mitak” 2019 additionally selected, optimal parameters temperature other using case simulation. analysis showed that error rat...

background: electrocoagulation is a technique involving the electrolytic addition of coagulating metal ions directly from sacrificial electrodes. these ions coagulate with turbidity agents in the water, in a similar manner to the addition of coagulating chemicals such as alum and ferric chloride, and allow the easier removal of the pollutants. purpose of this study was to conduct experimental i...
