Effects of copper on non-specific immunity and antioxidant in the oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense)

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
The copper, as heavy metal has important impacts on the antioxidant and immune defense systems in aquatic organisms, and the toxic effects of copper can be accumulated and magnified with the food chain, thus posing a threat to food safety as well as ...

Photographing Aquatic Organisms

The American Biology Teacher, 1977
PHOTOGRAPHY OF AQUATIC organisms poses special problems-and rewards-to the biologist. Details of their structure, behavior and environment can be documented clearly. Yet water is a demanding medium to penetrate and to retain in place, and the interface between water and air refracts and reflects light, causing special problems to the photographer.

Assessment of the fish diet of the Caspian seal (Pusa caspica Gmelin, 1788) during haul out periods on island sites: results, challenges, and perspectives

Frontiers in Marine Science
The Caspian seal (Pusa caspica), an endemic and endangered obligate piscivore of the Caspian Sea, faces threats to its existence, notably from the reduction of its food resources. Pollution, sea regression, overfishing, and the introduction of non-native

Assessment of trace element accumulation on the Tunisian coasts using biochemical biomarkers in Perinereis cultrifera

Scientia Marina, 2021
Our study aimed to evaluate the effect of trace element pollution in the polychaete Perinereis cultrifera (Grube, 1840) from two Tunisian coasts (the port of Rades, S1; and the Punic port of Carthage, S2).

Biomass Native Structure Into Functional Carbon‐Based Catalysts for Fenton‐Like Reactions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study indicates that eight biomasses with 2D flaky and 1D acicular structures influence surface O types, morphology, defects, N doping, sp2 C, and Co nanoparticles loading in three series of carbon, N‐doped carbon, and cobalt/graphitic carbon. This work identifies how these structural factors impact catalytic pathways, enhancing selective electron

Associated fauna of the fan shell Pinna nobilis (Mollusca: Bivalvia) in the northern and eastern Tunisian coasts

Scientia Marina, 2009
Epifaunal communities associated with the fan shell Pinna nobilis Linnaeus, 1758 along the Tunisian coastline were investigated. Both univariate and multivariate analysis were done at different spatial scales within five populations located at different ...
