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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFluctuations of Phytoplankton Community in the Coastal Waters of Caspian Sea in 2006Siamak Bagheri, Mashhor Mansor, Marzieh Makaremi et al.Problem statement: The Caspian Sea ecosystem has been suffered with many problems since 1980s. Aanthropogenic pollution from heavy metals, hydrocarbons, pesticides, changes in the quantity of nutrient inputs by rivers, are significant threats to biodiversity and biological resources such as plankton structure in the Caspian Sea. According to the significant of phytoplankton community in marine system. The state of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 20 Oct 2011 · 8,456 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening of Actinomycete Isolates from Niche Habitats in Manipur for Antibiotic ActivityDebananda S. Ningthoujam, Suchitra Sanasam, Salam NimaichandProblem statement: The exhaustion of the usual terrestrial sources and the rise of resistant pathogens dictate the search for novel actinomycetes and new antibiotics. In this context, niche habitats such as caves, pristine forests, lakes, rivers, and other wetlands, high salt environments, marine ecosystems and endophytic niches are promising targets for survey of bioactive actinomycetes. Approach: Actinomycetes were isolated from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,765 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeasonal Variations of n-6: n-3 Ratios and Fatty Acid Compositions in Foot and Tissue of Chiton lamyi in a High Primary Productivity AreaNooshin Sajjadi, Peyman Eghtesadi-Araghi, Shahla Jamili et al.Problem statement: Fatty acid content and composition in mollusks is a function of their feeding diversity. Chabahar bay located in the northern part of Oman sea in Indian ocean provides high rates of primary productivity and a diverse food source for mollusks in this area. Identification of fatty acid compositions of Chiton lamyi and study their seasonal changes in the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,195 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSpatial-Dynamics of Trace Metals Accumulation and Physicochemical Characteristics in Ikpukulu-Ama Creeks, Rivers State, NigeriaDavies Ibienebo Chris, Khang Wen Goh, Davies Imachrist Ibienebo et al.The study examines the spatial-dynamics variability of water parameters and trace metal concentrations between January and June 2023 at the Ikpukulu-Ama sites of the Bonny River, Nigeria. Key parameters analyzed include temperature, salinity, pH, transparency, dissolved oxygen, and trace metals (Ni, Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn) across three sites. The highest temperature, 32.56°C, was recorded at Site 2, indicating potential thermal … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 29 Jul 2026 · 494 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSargassum Invasion of Coastal Environments: A Growing ConcernClifford Louime, Jodany Fortune, Gary GervaisFloating tropical brown macroalgae, commonly called Sargassum, besieging the Caribbean coastlines have long been a regular occurrence in the region, especially during the fall and winter months. These washed-up seaweeds are considered by scientists as an important part of the coastal ecosystem, as they serve as habitat and nurseries for numerous marine species. However, in recent years, the region has … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2017 · 12,734 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDegumming of Raw Silk Fabric with Help of Marine Extracellular ProteaseDas Sumana, Mathummal Sudarshan, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon RayChaudhuriProtease secreting microbe was isolated and characterized on the basis of their morphological, biochemical, physiological and 16S rDNA based molecular properties. The extracellular protease was quantified and characterized. Protease was used for different time (4, 8, 12 and 24 h) at different temperature (RT and 37°C) for optimization of the degumming process for raw silk fabric with enzyme dosage (0.2-1 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 8,498 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordConcentration of Zn, Cu and Pb in Some Selected Marine Fishes of the Pahang Coastal Waters, MalaysiaB. Y. Kamaruzzaman, M. C. Ong, S. Z. RinaProblem statement: Heavy metals constitute one of the most hazardous substances that could be accumulated in biota. Fish populations exploited by man often live in coastal area environments that contain high levels of heavy metals, coming from human activities such as industrial and agricultural wastes. A problem to deal when using fishes as biomonitors of heavy metals is the relationship … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,004 accessesView PDF Cite
