Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Shrimp Farm Effluent on Water Quality in Coastal Areas of the World Heritage-Listed Ha Long BayThuyet D. Bui, Jim Luong-Van, Chris M. AustinProblem statement: Shrimp farming has rapidly developed in coastal areas of the World Heritage-listed Ha Long Bay since the last decade. Effluent discharged from shrimp farms with high levels of nutrient waste may cause eutrophication in receiving waterways. Therefore, assessing water quality at tidal creeks receiving shrimp farm effluent in coastal areas of Ha Long Bay supports environmental protection and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 3 Mar 2012 · 11,283 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDecolorization of Mordant Orange-1 by Marinobacter algicola MO-17R. S. Shertate, Prakash ThoratProblem statement: The textile industries use different types of dyes in their processing units which are liberated in natural marine water bodies. This release of dyes in turn affect the marine flora and fauna very adversely. Approach: The release of textile dyes into the environment is a matter of concern due to the toxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity and xenobiotic nature. Hence, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 25 Feb 2012 · 7,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSequential Remediation Processes for Effective Removal of Oil from Contaminated SoilsDeepika Dave, Reema Alharathi, Abdel GhalyProblem statement: Over 2.2 billions of oil and oil products were transported every year and often these activities can result in air, water and soil contamination. Expousure to petroleum products can cause health problems to humn and animals and affect marine animals and wildlife habitats. Approach: The objective of this study was to developed a technology for the remediation of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 18 Nov 2011 · 8,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemediation Technologies for Marine Oil Spills: A Critical Review and Comparative AnalysisD. Dave, A.E. GhalyProblem statement: Anthropogenic activities pollute the oceans with oil through land run off, vessels accidents, periodic tanker discharges and bilge discharges. Oil spills are environmental disasters that impact human, plants and wild life including birds, fish and mammals. Approach: In this study, the International Guidelines for Preventing Oils Spills and Response to Disasters were reviewed and the characteristics of oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 2 Nov 2011 · 25,601 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacteristic Study of the Marine Algae Sargassum sp. on Metal AdsorptionA. Saravanan, V. Brindha, Soundarajan KrishnanProblem statement: Biomass of brown marine macro algae is a biological resource that is available in large quantities and can form a good base for the development of biosorbent material. Approach: Algae have been found to be potentially suitable biosorbents because of its cheap availability, both in fresh or salt water, relatively high surface area and high binding affinity. Results: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 7,660 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Crude Oil and Spent Oil on Clarias garipinus: A Typical Marine FishA. M. Gbadebo, A. M. Taiwo, O. B. OlaProblem statement: Petroleum hydrocarbon and petroleum residue (i.e., spent oil) remains the foremost pollutants to the fish communities in various aquatic media-ponds, streams, rivers, creeks, coastal and marine environments through indiscriminate disposal of oil contaminated drilling muds, cutting and oil spillages. Approach: Also, the spent oil enters into aquatic media through run-off following unguided disposal. Both the petroleum hydrocarbon and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,467 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Concentrations of Dissolved Oxygen and Chlorophyll-a in the Coastal Waters of BabolsarSiamak Jamshidi, Noordin Bin Abu Bakar, Marzieh YousefiProblem statement: Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) are two vital requirements for marine ecosystems. Nowadays, discharge of large amounts of industrial, agricultural and urban wastes threats the Caspian Sea (CS) environment. With regard to the elevation of nutrient contents, average of DO concentrations in the deeper layers of the CS is reducing. On the other hand, increased amounts of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,029 accessesView PDFCite

Suthindhiran, K. KannabiranProblem statement: Although the diversity of marine Actinobacteria have been studied and biotechnologically exploited throughout the world, the studies on marine actinobacteria in Indian peninsula are largely unexplored. Of 9 maritime states in India, only 4 states have been extensively studied for the diversity of actinobacteria. Further, the studies on bioactive actinomycetes from saline soil are very scanty. In the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 11,440 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Water Properties and Geostrophic Currents in Fiji Waters Before and After Tropical Cyclone GeneShivneel Prasad, Than Aung, Awnesh SinghProblem statement: Water properties influence ocean primary production and drive the ocean food chain. This study depicts changes in temperature and salinity and its effects on geostrophic currents near Fiji before and after Tropical Cyclone (TC) Gene. Approach: Available Argo float data from 6 January-4 February 2008 were used for analysis since TC Gene passed the area on 28 January … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,947 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSalinity, Temperature and Turbidity Structure in the Suva Lagoon, FijiAwnesh Singh, Than AungThe city of Suva is home to nearly a quarter of the population of the Fiji thereby placing a lot of anthropogenic pressure on its lagoon.
