Coral skeleton also provides a unique record of ocean surface-water properties, including temperature, salinity, and ocean-water volume, because its formation is partly controlled by the temperature and chemistry of the surrounding seawater. example, subsidence or uplift), (3) tides, and (4) ...
However, directly translating these results to field situations should be done with caution, as conditions in the field are far less consistent and may be complicated by additional factors that can affect the reproductive and recruitment process (i.e., waves, pH, salinity30,55–57). Since ...
To guide the scientific community towards future research priorities, this review aims to (i) summarize existing knowledge to provide a broad perspective on the impact of the major CC drivers on sources, sinks, cycling, distribution, transport, toxicity, and fate of TE contaminants, as well as ...
For corals, thermal stress, changes in salinity, high doses of ultraviolet radiation or a combination of these factors can all lead to increased activity of enzymatic antioxidants (Downs et al., 2002; Levy et al., 2006; Shick et al., 1995). However, in the present study the exposure to...
What are the effects of ocean acidification on lobsters? What is the effect of ocean acidification on oyster farming? How does ocean acidification affect non-calcifiers? How are humans affected by ocean acidification? How does salinity affect ocean acidification? Explain the impact of global wa...
Data on mullet Mugil cephalus from Radtke (1984a) also fall relatively far from the regression llne, perhaps duCe to t~he fa~ct that these data are from fish reared at a salinity of 32%0.In general, it must be assumed that intercalibration through the international standard PDB is ...
However, since 2003, the salinity has decreased and did not exceed 31‰ until 2013. In this paper, the potential role of global climate change in the Caribbean on the water levels of Lake Enriquillo and inputs on lake salinity is addressed. It is very interesting to analyze the region’s...
Marine macroalgal forests are highly productive and iconic ecosystems, which are seriously threatened by number of factors such as habitat destruction, overgrazing, ocean warming, and pollution. The effect of chronic, but low levels of pollutants on the long-term survival of the canopy-forming algae...
Seawater temperature averaged 25.87 ± 0.14 (SEM) °C and salinity was 34.46 ppm (measured using a portable refractometer) during the experi- ment. The experiment was carried out for 25 days during March 2013. The response variable included a measure- ment of coral tissue loss (an ...
