Inelastic Light Scattering in the Coastal Zone and in Benthic Environments [PDF]

open access: possible, 1997
Abstract : My long term goals are to experimentally determine the interrelationships and variability of optical properties in the ocean and atmosphere. I have been concentrating on aspects of scattering, both inelastic and elastic, and measurements of the radiance distribution in the ocean and atmosphere.

Demosponge Biodiversity in the Benthic Protection Zone of the Great Australian Bight

Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia, 2007
SummaryThe Benthic Protection Zone (BPZ) situated in the South Australian section of the Great Australian Bight (GAB) protects marine benthos from anthropogenic disturbances of the sea floor. However, little is known of the marine benthic fauna occurring within the zone.

Isotopic fingerprints of benthic nitrogen cycling in the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2019
Abstract Stable isotopes (15,14N, 18,16O) of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (N) were measured in sediment porewaters and benthic flux chambers across the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) from 74 to 1000 m water depth. Sediments at all locations were net consumers of bottom water NO3−.

Do Benthic Animals Control the Particle Exchange between Bioturbated Sediments and Benthic Turbidity Zones?

1999
Direct and indirect deposition and resuspension induced by benthic animals are compared with physical effects. Although some individual sub-processes, e.g. bioresuspension, are not yet sufficiently studied, it is concluded that in most cases animals increase the particle exchange between water and sediment by a factor of 2 to 10 and that these findings

Benthic polychaetes in the anoxic sulphide biomes of the retting zones in the Kadinamkulam Kayal

International Journal of Environmental Studies, 1995
Retting is the basic process serving as the backbone of the Coir industry in Kerala. The shallow fringes of Kayals (estuaries) and channels drawn from them are the traditional sites for the retting of coconut husk. Retting is brought about by the pectinolytic activity of micro‐organisms especially bacteria, fungi and yeasts degrading the fibre binding ...

Benthic macrofaunal assemblage in the arid zone mangroves of gulf of Kachchh-Gujarat

Journal of Ocean University of China, 2007
The total benthic macrofauna consisting of 62 species in 5 groups, viz. crustaceans (18), gastropods (17), bivalves (16), polychaetes (9) and fishes (2), was recorded in western Kachchh mangroves near Gujarat. The population densities of benthic macrofauna ranged from 424 to 2393 ind.m−2, the diversity ranged from 1.84 to 2.45 bits ind.−1, the richness
