, 1998 This chapter discusses the aquatic environment. Water is the most important liquid on the Earth and has a major impact on the chemical, physical, and biological processes which take place. There are many ways by which natural waters can be classified and it must be recognized that the movement of water through the environment does not limit it to any ...

Conjugation in aquatic environments
1996Concerns with the horizontal exchange of genetic material by conjugation in aquatic environments arise from two issues. The first relates to conjugation as a mechanism that promotes genetic and physiological diversity in the aquatic microbial community [24].

Aquatic environment pollution [PDF]
Constanta Maritime University Annals, Vol. 13, 2010, 2010 From immemorial times people have been concerned with environment protection, certainly on a scale corresponding to the impact of human activities on it, taking into account, from the very beginning, the interest on the health of drinking water sources, where their animals drank and where their respective communities could drink clean water and use it ...

The plant scientist who seeks to evaluate quantitatively the various environmental factors that influence plant life in aquatic habitats faces a formidable task. For those interested in a more extensive discussion, the marine aquatic environment is introduced in Kinne’s Marine Ecology (1970, 1971, 1972) vol 1, while Hutchinson’s Treatise on Limnology ...

In many parts of the world, the changing weather patterns of the 1980s certainly focussed attention much more on the importance of fresh water. In times of drought, not only were lakes and rivers shallower than normal but reservoirs were lower, crops were poorer, gardens were drier and cars were dirtier as a result. Yet elsewhere, or at another time of

Abamectin in the aquatic environment
Ecotoxicology, 2006Abamectin, widely used as a veterinary anthelmintic, medicine against a variety of animal parasites and insects, can runoff from the sites of application and becomes an aquatic pollutant. The aim of this study was to identify the toxicity of abamectin on bacteria, algae, daphnids, and fish.

Organochlorine compounds in aquatic environments
Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1980The body burdens of five organochlorine compounds were determined in several marine fishes and invertebrates from two localities in Norway. DDE, PCBs, and pentachlorobenzene showed uniform levels, especially on a fat weight basis, while hexachlorobenzene and octachlorostyrene were detected at various levels in the different species.

Foam in the aquatic environment
Water Research, 2011Foams are ubiquitous in the environment, commonly seen as discoloured patches on streams, rivers, lakes and sea water. They often are assumed to be anthropogenic in origin as they are aesthetically unpleasant, yet they frequently appear in pristine environments indicating a natural origin. In contrast to "hidden" chemical pollution, e.g.

Human Physiology in an Aquatic Environment
Comprehensive Physiology, 2015ABSTRACTWater covers over 70% of the earth, has varying depths and temperatures and contains much of the earth's resources. Head‐out water immersion (HOWI) or submersion at various depths (diving) in water of thermoneutral (TN) temperature elicits profound cardiorespiratory, endocrine, and renal responses. The translocation of blood into the thorax and

Aquatic zooremediation: deploying animals to remediate contaminated aquatic environments
Trends in Biotechnology, 2007The ability of animals to act in a bioremediative capacity is not widely known. Animals are rarely considered for bioremediation initiatives owing to ethical or human health concerns. Nonetheless, specific examples in the literature reveal that some animal species are effective remediators of heavy metals, microbial contaminants, hydrocarbons ...
