Mariculture of bivalves (e.g., mussels, scallops, and oysters) is developing rapidly in coastal waters. This process releases shell debris that can accumulate on the seabed under farms.

Use of axial tomography to follow temporal changes of benthic communities in an unstable sedimentary environment (Baie des Ha! Ha!, Saguenay Fjord) [PDF]
In the upper layer of the sediment column, organic matter recycling is greatly influenced by bioturbation. However, there are many physical changes in the nature of the sediment that may disturb benthic communities and create a biogeochemical imbalance ...

Preliminary Data on the Bioturbation Activity of Hediste Diversicolor (Polychaeta, Nereididae) from the Loire Estuary, France [PDF]
The ragworm Hediste diversicolor (O. F. Müller, 1776) plays a key role in the estuarine water-sediment interface. This scientific project comes under the framework of the International network Nereis Park Experiment gathering 27 laboratories from all ...

Radioactivity levels of 210Pb and 226Ra were detected in a sediment core obtained using a multi-corer from the polymetallic nodule area inside the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), a contract area of the China Ocean Mineral Resources Association (COMR) in ...

Sedimentary processes in the Thau Lagoon (France): From seasonal to century time scales [PDF]
As a part of the MICROBENT programme, an investigation of the sedimentation framework was carried out at the water-sediment interface in the Thau Lagoon (French Mediterranean coast). Two main sites, C4 in the middle of the lagoon and C5 near oyster farms,

Benthic bioturbations weaken the stability of blue carbon storage
Coastal ecosystems are known for their ability to sequester organic carbon (OC), termed “blue carbon”. The molecular composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) can affect sediment OC content; however, the impact of benthic bioturbation on DOM ...

Deep-Sea Echinoid Trails and Seafloor Nutrient Distribution: Present and Past Implications
The movement patterns of deep-sea bioturbational fauna are believed to be the result of the organism’s interactive response to the perceived spatial distribution of nutritional resources on the seafloor.

Methodological approaches to determining the marine radiocarbon reservoir effect [PDF]
The marine radiocarbon reservoir effect is an offset in 14C age between contemporaneous organisms from the terrestrial environment and organisms that derive their carbon from the marine environment.
