Periphytal Zone Subsystem of the Marine Ports Aquatories
E. Hentschel was one of the first who used the quantitative methods of calculation for the study of fouling or periphytal community in 1916 in...

Evaluation of Next-Generation Sequencing Technologies for Environmental Monitoring in Wastewater Abatement
The waste generation and disposal into natural water bodies become a serious topic to be concerned by researchers today. Consequently, there is a...

Applications of Foraminifera, Testate Amoebae and Tintinnids in Estuarine Palaeoecology
Estuarine settings consist of several sub-environments, each of which can be characterized by various groups of microfossils: this chapter focuses on...

Influence of agriculture and aquaculture activities on the response of autotrophic picoplankton in Laguna Macapule, Gulf of California (Mexico)
IntroductionThe lagoon is a component of coastal zones, whose populations of autotrophic picoplankton (APP) remain largely unstudied. These lagoons...

Parasites and Diseases
The Antarctic krill Euphausia superba is among the most studied species of the Order Euphausiacea in biological and ecological aspects; however,...

Saccate thallus of the red alga Halosaccion glandiforme harbor diverse invertebrate fauna
Rocky intertidal zones are biologically diverse environments with numerous physical stressors; as such, close associations between organisms often...

How Well Does Chlorophyll Explain the Seasonal Variation in Phytoplankton Activity?
The seasonal variation in phytoplankton activity is determined by analysing 1385 primary production (PP) profiles, chlorophyll a (Chl) concentration...

Impacts of Ozone Hole
Due to the decrease in the quantity of total-column ozone in the stratosphere—which we call ozone hole—lesser solar UV-B radiation (290–320 nm) is...

First report of predation of Giardia sp. cysts by ciliated protozoa and confirmation of predation of Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts by ciliate species
Ciliated protozoa are important components of the microbial food web in various habitats, especially aquatic environments. These organisms are useful...

Microbes and Environment
Microbes are omnipresent in the biosphere, and their presence invariably affects the environment in which they grow. The effects of microbes on their...

Diseases and Mortalities of Fishes and Other Animals in The Gulf of Mexico
Most mortality results from natural causes including red tide which is primarily restricted to West Florida and cold-kills that have greater...

Phytoplankton Ecology Along the Egyptian Northern Lakes: Status, Pressures and Impacts
The northern lakes, particularly the delta ones (Manzala, Burullus, Edku and Mariout), were among the richest and most diverse ecosystems in Egypt...

Visualization and quantification of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) in freshwater using an auto-imaging approach
Most water sources are full of microscopic transparent exopolymer particles (TEP), which are currently regarded as a major initiator of biofilm...

Contribution of Viral Lysis and Nanoflagellate Grazing to Bacterial Mortality at Surface Waters and Deeper Depths in the Coastal Ecosystem of Subtropical Western Pacific
Since nanoflagellate grazing and viral lysis differ in their impact on the microbial food web, it is important to assess their relative importance on...

Influence of Mussel Culture on the Vertical Export of Phytoplankton Carbon in a Coastal Upwelling Embayment (Ría de Vigo, NW Iberia)
The goal of this paper is to find out whether suspended mussel culture affects the vertical fluxes of biogenic particles in the Ría de Vigo on a...

Effects of the algicide, thiazolidinedione derivative TD49, on microbial communities in a mesocosm experiment
We investigated the effects of the algicide thiazolidinedione derivative TD49 on microbial community in mesocosm experiments. The TD49 concentration...
