Quantify the sub-lethal effect of debris ingestion (nutrient dilution) on nutrient gain 2. Model sub-lethal effects of debris ingestion on nutrient intake and growth 3. Evaluation of stress from entanglement on the loggerhead sea turtle 4. Movement patterns and behavior of pelagic-stage loggerheads...
BehaviorLittoralAnthropogenic marine debris (AMD) is exponentially accumulating in intertidal zones around the world. Because AMD is often mixed in with natural substrates such as rocks and pieces of driftwood, we explored if the purple shore crab (Hemigrapsus nudus) showed preference or avoidance ...
The impact of debris on marine life Marine debris is listed among the major perceived threats to biodiversity, and is cause for particular concern due to its abundance, durability and persist... SC Gall,RC Thompson - 《Marine Pollution Bulletin》 被引量: 345发表: 2015年 Deleterious effects of...
Most of these baited gears are considered environmentally benign, although small conical hoop (tangle) nets fished in southeastern Australia sometimes are damaged and lose twine, which becomes marine debris. Substituting conventional multifilament polyamide (PA) twine with alternative multi-monofilament and...
It refers to the farming of fish, shellfish, seaweed, and other marine organisms. More specifically, marine aquaculture, or mariculture, which is the farming of marine organisms in our oceans and seas.Why do we need to farm fish?Humans have been farming fish for hundreds of years, but the...
Marine plastic pollution has increased significantly over the last few decades and is creating a substantial amount of ecological, social, and economic impacts. Plastic pollution is globally widespread, and researchers estimate 5–13 million tons of plas
marine debris—particularly plastic—is blown in by the wind or washed in via storm drains and sewers. Our seas are also sometimes spoiled by oil spills and leaks—big and small—and are consistently soaking up carbon pollution from the air. The ocean absorbs as much as a quarter of man-...
of benthic habitat, the provision of unnatural sources of food and the generation of debris.4Management options are considered including the designation of marine protected areas, risk aversion, and the burden of proof.5A balanced consideration of the risks and consequences of ‚Type 1' and ‚...
Workshop on the Occurrence , Effects , and Fate of Microplastic Marine Debris A comprehensive assessment of marine litter in three environmental compartments of Belgian coastal waters was performed. Abundance, weight and composition ... C Arthur,J Baker,H Bamford 被引量: 48发表: 2009年 ...
Because plastic is such a persistent material, the ecological, economic and eco-toxicological effects of plastic pollution are all long-term. These include: Physical impact on marine life: entanglement, ingestion, starvation Chemical impact: the buildup of persistent organic pollutants like PCBs and ...
