Microplastic pollution of the Vistula Lagoon and Baltic Sea: A comparison study
Environmental contamination by microplastics (MPs) is reported in a wide range of aquatic habitats worldwide. Semi-enclosed seas, such as the Baltic Sea, have been identified as among the more polluted marine environments, with relatively high ...

This study determined the proximate composition, energy value, amino acid profile, and protein quality of the muscle tissue of four food fish species. The fish analyzed contained 78.90–69.89% water, 18.25–15.69% protein, and 2.28–12.57% fat. The energy value of the muscle tissue ranged from 93.50 to 175.83 kcal/100 g. The contents of amino acids in 100

Fatty Acid Profile of Fat of Grass Carp, Bighead Carp, Siberian Sturgeon, and Wels Catfish
The objective of this study was to determine fish species differences in fatty acid profile of the fat of farmed grass carp, bighead carp, Siberian sturgeon, and wels catfish so as to compare the consumer health benefits they provide. Fatty acid composition range was as follows: saturated fatty acids (SFA), 16.32%–32.96%; monounsaturated fatty acids ...

Effect of physicochemical parameters on zooplankton in the brackish, coastal Vistula Lagoon
This paper analyzes whether physicochemical properties significantly influence the occurrence of zooplankton in a brackish reservoir. The studies were carried out on the Vistula Lagoon in August and September from 2006 to 2009 at 32 research sites.

Nitrate‐Driven Eutrophication Supports High Nitrous Oxide Production and Emission in Coastal Lagoons
Abstract Under current circumstances, coastal lagoons are net emitters of nitrous oxide (N2O) to the atmosphere. We hypothesize that widespread nitrogen‐driven coastal eutrophication will enhance N2O production and emissions from coastal lagoons. Here, we quantified spatial and temporal patterns of sediment‐water and water‐air N2O fluxes in three large
