Izmir Bay is one of the great natural bays of the Mediterranean. The surface sediment and fish samples were collected during 1997-2009. The sediment concentrations of inner bay showed significant enrichments during sampling periods. Outer and middle bays exhibited low levels of metal enrichments except the estuary of Gediz River. The concentrations were generally higher than the background leve...

The article presents data on the fishery significance of Kizlyar and Agrakhan bays. Based results conducted researches, an assessment current state bays recommendations need for ongoing capital reclamation works to preserve natural spawning grounds passing semi-passing fish species are given.

Food-borne diseases such as salmonellosis can be attributed, in part, to the consumption of raw oysters. To determine the prevalence of Salmonella spp. in oysters, oysters harvested from 36 U.S. bays (12 each from the West, East, and Gulf coasts in the summer of 2002, and 12 bays, four per coast, in the winter of 2002-2003) were tested. Salmonella was isolated from oysters from each coast of th...

[1] There has been an impression for more than half a century that reductions in the north-south component of the Earth’s magnetic field in the polar region (often called ‘‘negative magnetic bays’’ or ‘‘polar magnetic bays’’) may occur immediately after compression of the magnetosphere by interplanetary (IP) shock impacts, in particular when the magnetosphere is ‘‘preconditioned’’ by southward ...

We evaluated chronic exposure of harlequin ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) to hydrocarbons associated with the 2004 M/V Selendang Ayu oil spill at Unalaska Island, Alaska. We measured levels of hepatic 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase activity (EROD) in liver biopsy samples as an indicator of hydrocarbon exposure in three oiled bays and one reference bay in 2005, 2006, and 2008. Median EROD act...

phyte alga Aureococcus anophagefferens Hargraves et Sieburth occurred in the coastal bays of Long Island NY, Barnegat Bay NJ and Narragansett Bay, RI. During the past 15 years, Aureococcus has bloomed more frequently in Long Island bays than in Barnegat and Narragansett Bays, with significant blooms (>100 000 cells ml–1) occurring in about half of those years. In an intensive survey for the pre...

Oyster aquaculture is one of several methods for the restoration Delaware Inland Bays; however, little known about its potential impacts on benthic community bays. In this study, water quality parameters were measured and polychaetes collected from 24 sampling locations at Rehoboth, Indian River, Little Assawoman Bays July to October 2016 2017. We aimed assess impact Eastern oyster farming unde...

Purpose Freight vehicle parking facilities at large urban freight traffic generators, such as urban retail malls, are often characterized by a high volume of vehicle arrivals and a poor parking supply infrastructure. Recurrent congestion of freight parking facilities generates environmental (e.g. pollution), economic (e.g. delays in deliveries) and social (e.g. traffic) negative externalities. ...

Small-eyed ray (Raja microocellata) is found on the inner continental shelf in the east Atlantic from the south-western coasts of the British Isles to northern Morocco (Stehmann and Bürkel, 1984). It is locally abundant in the Bristol Channel and parts of the English Channel (Ellis et al., 2005). It is an inshore demersal species, inhabiting the inner continental shelf waters down to a depth of...

New Jersey’s coastal bays are subject to ongoing multiple anthropogenic impacts from an expanding population in adjoining coastal watersheds. Eutrophication poses the most serious threat to the long-term health and function of the bays, impacting essential habitats (e.g., seagrass and shellfish beds) as well as finfish nursery areas. Nutrient and organic carbon loading in these shallow, lagoon-...
