La Baie de Seine: Peuplements et especes benthiques en regime perturbe
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Cabioch, L; Retiere, C.
The waters of the Seine River are polluted by urban, industrial and agricultural effluents. In addition direct industrial wastes inputs are emptied into the estuary. Within the limits of the Seine Bay program it was not possible to research pollution impacts on every estuarine ecosystem link; so only benthos have been studied. To take time response of organisms into account, the authors have defined indicators or quantitative evaluation of parameters, reflecting physiological state. They have studied population fluctuations caused by natural or man induced effects.

Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Duval, P.
This study has two objectives: (1) the knowledge of spatial and temporal characteristics of flat fish nursery grounds, and, (2) the determination of natural or man-induced factors affecting these nurseries: hydrodynamics, sediment properties, predation, competition, water quality, pollution. To protect these grounds the author proposes a fisheries management plan and an impact study before all port installations or all coastal equipment use.

Illnesses due to marine bivalvia consumption are mostly associated with viruses as causative agents. In more than the half of cases, this agent remains unidentifies, nevertheless. So far as bacteria are concerned, Salmonella are found firstly. Campylobacters represent a major cause of gastrointestinal disease, with Salmonella, among humans. Whether campylobacteriosis may be acquired from shellfishes remains unclear. We undertook to comparatively appreciate the survival of Campylobacter jejuni/coli and Salmonella typhimurium in seawater and contaminated mussels.

In order to estimate the effects of chlorine used in cooling systems of electric power plants on zooplankton, some experiments have been realized with the four first larval stages of the prawn (P. serratus Pennant). Chlorine injection was performed by constant adding at 16 and 20 degree C with times exposures of 5, 15 and 25 minutes. If there is no detectable variations in sensitivity of different stages, toxic effects of oxydants issued from chlorination can be observed (for both the two acclimatation temperatures) at 15 minutes exposure with a LD 50 : 32 mg/l of chlorine.

Effect of xanthan on the growth of sulphate-reduction bacteria in marine sediments.
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Battersby, N; Stewart, D; Sharma, A.
Chemical additives are used extensively in the offshore oil industry. For secondary oil recovery, the biopolymer xanthan has been recommended as a viscosifying agent but its use may provoke microbial problems. The effect of adding xanthan to marine sediments on the growth and metabolic activity of sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) was studied. In all instances, its addition resulted in an increasing in SRB numbers of up to 250-fold. This was accompanied by a marked increase in the electron transport activity of the sediments when these were incubated under either aerobic or anaerobic conditions. The products formed as a result of the biodegradation of the polymer by indigenous heterotrophic bacteria in these sediments appear to have acted as suitable...

Many maritime countries in Europe have implemented marine environmental monitoring programmes which include the measurement of chemical contaminants and related biological effects. How best to integrate data obtained in these two types of monitoring into meaningful assessments has been the subject of recent efforts by the International Council for Exploration of the Sea (ICES) Expert Groups. Work within these groups has concentrated on defining a core set of chemical and biological endpoints that can be used across maritime areas, defining confounding factors, supporting parameters and protocols for measurement. The framework comprised markers for concentrations of, exposure to and effects from, contaminants. Most importantly, assessment criteria for...

Influence d'une pollution chimique par l'apatite sur les peuplements bacteriens du golfe d'Aqaba (Jordanie)
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Vacelet, E.
The influence of spillage of phosphates on the bacterial population and its activity was found to be not significant (on total number) or significant but low (on the number of growing cells which was higher close to the loading area). Phosphate discharge resulted also in a significant increase of dividing cells and of enzymatic activity but its effects could be hardly separated from sewage effects. Neither solubilizing strains nor bacterial solubilization could be detected.

The boats cruising in the oyster growing areas are protected against biofouling by paints which release toxic compounds such as copper oxide and organotins into the water. After an estimation of the inputs of copper and organotins in the "Marennes-Oleron", Arcachon (Atlantic)    and Thau (Mediterranean Sea) areas, their influence on larval fixation is discussed, taking into account the tributyltin toxicity against D larvae of Crassostrea gigas. Laboratory experiments have demonstrated that tributyltin produces morphological abnormalities of the shell and increases tin levels in tissues, interfering with copper and zinc metabolism. The influence of yacht ports on oyster growth and shell morphology, has been demonstrated in the field. The use of...

Observations complementaires sur les causes possibles des anomalies de la reproduction de Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg) dans le bassin d'Arcachon.
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: His, Edouard; Maurer, Daniele; Robert, Rene.
The spat production in the Bay of Arcachon has been recently disturbed. Bioassays using algae used as food for oyster larvae have shown that the organotin paints affect or inhibit growth of Isochrysis galbana and Chaetoceros calcitrans . Fresh waters coming into the bay and shore sediment did not affect the growth of these algae. Bioassays proposed by Woelke (1967) using embryos and larvae of Crassostrea gigas have shown that the quality of the sea water from Arcachon harbour has been improved a few months after the use of organotin paints has been prohibited. Likewise fresh waters are free from any micropollutants that could drastically disturb the reproduction of C. gigas in the bay.

Autores: Alzieu, Claude; Heral, Maurice; Thibaud, Yves; Dardignac, Marie-jose; Feuillet, Michèle.
Experiments in oyster-breeding areas where oyster Crassostrea gigas suffers from anomalies of calcification, show an obvious correlation between the importance of the malformation of shells and the vicinity of port areas where a great number of boats usually stay. Organotin compounds contained in antifouling paints, and more precisely Tributyltin fluoride (TBTF) induce, in experimental environment, similar anomalies to those observed in natural environment. The amounts of total tin in the tissues of oysters living in the vicinity of spots where organotin products are brought in, can reach high values, though they appear to decrease rapidly whereas the environmental contamination lessens. The authors suggest that results of organotin upon the mechanisms of...

Autores: Cauchi, B.
Metabolic potentialities of bacterial communities in marine water after Crude Oil pollution (Arabian Light) and in marine water after pollution and treatment (enrichment: Inipol EAP 22) have been studied and compared. With data analysis: regressions, hierarchical ascending classification and multifactor correspondence analysis, the treatment gives rise to conservation and one increase of enzymatic pool (second day) of the bacterial sample as a combined metabolic homogeneity contrary to pollution impact. The direct assimilation of hydrocarbons looks more regular and slow without treatment.

The effect of pollution on coral recruitment has been insufficiently studied. This research deals with coral recruitment in coastal areas and aimed to determine the variations of density and dominant species of corals recruits in sites at different distances from pollution sources. The composition and structure of stony coral (scleractinian and milleporids) recruit associations were characterized in the fringing reef of Western Havana, Cuba. This reef is influenced by urban pollution from the Almendares River and a sewage outlet located at its mouth. Four sites were sampled on the upper fore reef escarpment at 10m deep every three months between July 2007 and May 2008. A 25cm side quadrat was used to determine the density and taxonomic composition of...

The survey of sediment and hydrological parameters in the old harbor of Bizerte has revealed that this ecosystem knows a high anthropogenic pressure. In this area waters were characterized by weak contents in dissolved oxygen and sediments, rich in fine fraction, were loaded in hydrocarbons and in organic matter. The free-living nematodes, predominant taxa, responded to these disturbances by a significant decrease in their densities and their biomasses and had tendency, notably at the most isolated sites, to penetrate deeply to escape surface sediments highly loaded in hydrocarbons and in organic matter.

Autores: Madadi, O.V; Wandiga, S. O; Jumba, I. O.
The use of most organochlorine pesticides has been banned or restricted in the republic of Kenya under the Rotterdam and Stockholm convention due to high levels of persistence in the environment and toxicity to nontarget organisms. Studies conducted in some parts of the country have revealed that residue levels of these compounds are still in the environment. However, the residues of these compounds have not been exhaustively studied in the Lake Victoria catchment area. This study was set to investigate the residues levels of p,p-DDT, o,p’- DDE, p,p-DDD, g-HCH, D-HCH, a-HCH, Aldrin, and Dieldrin, in water samples from Lake Victoria catchment. Samples were collected during the short rain, dry and wet seasons and analysed using gas chromatography equipped...

Autores: Guya, F.; Wakwabi, E.; Jembe, T.; Osumo, W.; Sitoki, L.; Ogutu, Z.
In the Lake Victoria (Kenya) catchment are found several small lakes and dams. The satellite lakes and dams are important aquifers and buffer zones for the lake. Besides the water bodies are important water sources both for livestock and domestic use. A study conducted in the water bodies between January 2003 and December 2004 showed that effects of eutrophication are wide spread in the lakes and dams. An investigation of primary productivity and effects of physical mixing and material transport was done. In Lake Sare, Lake Victoria waters are transported to the satellite lake during both day and night through Goye causeway that connects the two. The water bodies have higher rates of primary productivity than Lake Victoria. Spatial extent of oxygen...

Une étude microcosmique a été effectuée pour examiner l’influence d’un lubrifiant minéral avant et après son utilisation dans un moteur de véhicule  sur la structure trophique de la communauté de nématodes libres originaire de la lagune de Ghar El Melh. Une concentration de 1mg kg-1 de sédiment a été testée pour évaluer l’effet du polluant après 40 jours d’exposition. Les résultats de l’étude ont révélé que les consommateurs non sélectifs (1B), les plus abondants dans le microcosme témoin, ont été très affectés et leur dominance a diminué significativement sous l’effet de la contamination par le lubrifiant minéral avant ou après usage. Les détritivores sélectifs (1A) dont la dominance augmente significativement au iveau des microcosmes traités avec le...

Water quality trends and input loads to Lake Nakuru
Provedor de dados: Ocean Docs: e-repository of  publications
Autores: Kulecho, Andrew; Muhandiki, Victor.
Water quality trends of Lake Nakuru, Kenya and its feeder streams were monitored in 2001-2004. Water samples were obtained from eleven stations in the lake and five points on inflowing streams. The items monitored were physico-chemical and biological components. The drainage basin was characterized by recurrence of dry spells throughout the period with water losses in the lake exceeding the amount received to cause a fall in water volume. The lake water salts content rose – conductivity and alkalinity reached 58 ms/cm and 5,200 mg/l respectively. PH was more or less constant (10.00 – 10.36). Daytime oxygen concentration in the mid-lake system rose (to greater than 20 mg/l) while remaining low in the inflow portions of the lake. On one occasion, the lake...

Une étude en microcosme a été entreprise pour examiner l’influence d’un métal lourd (le cadmium) et/ou du diesel sur la structure trophique d’une communauté de nématodes libres provenant de la lagune de Ghar El Melh (Tunisie). Trois doses en cadmium [faible : 0,54 mg Cd kg-1 (poids sec, ps), moyenne : 0,90 mg Cd kg-1 (ps) et forte : 1,40 mg Cd kg-1(ps)], une dose de diesel de 0,25 mg kg-1 (ps) et un mélange de cadmium et de diesel [1,40 mg Cd kg-1(ps) + 0,25 mg  kg-1 de diesel (ps)] ont été testées pour évaluer les effets de ces polluants après 90 jours d’exposition. Les résultats des analyses statistiques univariées n’ont montré aucune différence significative pour la plupart des indices des communautés traitées par rapport à l’assemblage témoin. Ainsi,...

Autores: Ameur, S.; Ghedira, J.; Guerbej, H.; Jebali, J.; Bouraoui, J.; Boussetta, H.
Dans l’environnement marin, les éléments traces peuvent s’accumuler dans les organismes à des concentrations supérieures à celles présentes dans l’eau. L’étude de la distribution tissulaire des métaux traces au niveau des organismes qui y sont exposés, constitue un aspect très important pour la compréhension de leur devenir. En outre, le suivi de la réponse biologique spécifique de ces organismes sentinelles aux xénobiotiques complète et consolide l’analyse chimique. Ce travail vise à étudier la distribution tissulaire des métaux traces et des métallothionéines (MTs) chez la daurade «Sparus aurata » traitée par un métal essentiel (le cuivre) et un métal non essentiel (le cadmium) à une concentration de 500µg /Kg de poids frais pendant 48 heures....

The effects of anthropogenic particulate emissions from ships on the radiative, microphysical, and chemical properties of m(oderately polluted marine stratiform clouds are examined. A case study of two ships in the same air mass is presented where one of the vessels caused a discernible ship track while the other did not. &lt;i&gt;In situ&lt;/i&gt; measurements of cloud droplet size distributions, liquid water content, and cloud radiative properties, as well as aerosol size distributions (outside cloud, interstitial, and cloud droplet residual particles) and aerosol chemistry, are presented. These are related to measurements of cloud radiative properties. The differences between the aerosol in the two ship plumes are discussed; these indicate that...

Single particle analysis of aerosols, observed in the marine boundary layer during the Monterey Area Ship Tracks Experiment (MAST), with respect to cloud droplet formation
Provedor de dados: Open Marine Archive
Autores: De Bock, L.A.; Joos, P.E.; Noone, K.J.; Pockalny, R.A.; Van Grieken, R.E.
The chemical composition of individual particles &gt;0.2 µm sampled during the MAST-experiment were analysed by SEM-EDX, in combination with multivariate techniques. The objective of this experiment was to identify the mechanisms responsible for the modification of marine stratocumulus clouds by emissions from ships and in a wider sense to provide information on the global processes involved in atmospheric modification of cloud albedo. Aerosols were examined under different MBL pollution levels (clean, intermediately polluted and moderately polluted) in five different reservoirs: background below-cloud and above-cloud aerosol; background cloud droplet residual particles; below-cloud ship plume aerosol and ship track cloud droplet residual particles. In...
