Following on the success of Volume I, Metal Poisoning in Fish, Volume II provides a comprehensive look at the toxicity of elements not already covered - aluminum, nickel, cobalt, iron, silver, and tin. Also presented is a critical update on the impact of mercury. One of the book's key features is the correlation of current water quality data with toxicity, distribution, and effects of each element. Readers are also provided with the most up-to-date information available, such as response surfa...
The New Field Book of Freshwater Life (Putnam's Nature Field Books)
by Elsie B Klots
Um Fliessgewasser den Nutzungsanspruchen des Menschen anzupassen, sind unzahlige Baumassnahmen erforderlich. Um die Auswirkungen wasserbaulicher Aktivitaten auf die in Fliessgewassern lebenden Tiere zu untersuchen, wurde die Ethohydraulik entwickelt. Sie beruht auf der Ethologie (Erforschung des Verhaltens von Tieren) und der Hydraulik (Lehre von den bewegten Flussigkeiten). Die Autoren stellen die Grundlagen dieser Wissenschaftsdisziplin dar und liefern Regeln sowie Grenz- und Bemessungswerte f...
This book discusses how to use the wastewaters, liquid biowastes and soils unfit for agriculture to economically viable aquaculture practices; and putting the emphasis on, aquaculture posology, the science of quantification and administration of doses in aquatic health and aquaculture management. Broadly, aquaculture practices come across three types of problems each; in the context of water quality, and fin fish and shell fish diseases; and preventive, curative and noncurative diseases in fin f...
Freshwater Pollution and Aquatic Ecosystems
This new volume addresses the environmental impacts of pollution on freshwater aquatic ecosystems and presents sustainable management and remediation practices and advanced technology help to address the different types of pollutants. Freshwater Pollution and Aquatic Ecosystems: Environmental Impact and Sustainable Management considers the need for sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective tools and technologies to assess, monitor, and properly manage the increasing issues of aquatic pollution...
The Exploitation and Cultural Importance of Sea Mammals (Proceedings of the 9th ICAZ Conference, v. 7)
Humans are known to exploit plant and animal resources for a variety of purposes. Subsistence is the most obvious of these, but there are also social and technological reasons behind such activities, not to mention ideological and spiritual motives for exploitation. In order to maximise exploitation of resources, human often exploit ecotones, where several ecological zones exist in close proximity. The seashore is such an ecotone, and sea mammals are just one of many groups of resources who are...
Ices Zooplankton Methodology Manual
by Roger Harris, Hein-Rune Skjoldal, Jurgen Lenz, and Peter Wiebe
The term "zooplankton" describes the community of floating, often microscopic, animals that inhabit aquatic environments. Being near the base of the food chain, they serve as food for larger animals, such as fish. The ICES (International Council for the Exploration of the Sea) Zooplankton Methodology Manual provides comprehensive coverage of modern techniques in zooplankton ecology written by a group of international experts. Chapters include sampling, acoustic and optical methods, estimation o...
