To delineate a soft-shore trophic structure, macrobenthos was collected from an intertidal
sandflat at the mouth of the Shirakawa River in the central part of Ariake Sound, Kyushu …

The fact that land-derived sources of nutrients promote eutrophication in the receiving
coastal waters implies coupling between land and marine environments. Increasing nitrogen …

The stable isotope ratios of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) of the muscle, ctenidia and
viscera of the Sydney rock oyster, Saccostrea glomerata, showed the dilution and …

The stable nitrogen isotope ratio in tissue of the ribbed mussel (Geukensia demissa) was
investigated as an indicator of the source of nitrogen inputs to coastal salt marshes. Initially …

Use of stable nitrogen isotope ratios is one method that has been proposed to indicate
anthropogenic nutrient enrichment in estuarine systems. However, the role of stable …

We used growth rates of juvenile winter flounder Pseudopleuronectes americanus, to
assess habitat quality in 3 of Rhode Island's coastal salt ponds that had differing levels of …

Stable nitrogen isotope ratios were used to study the incorporation of anthropogenically-
derived nitrogen into the food webs of salt marsh systems along a contamination gradient in …

Stable nitrogen isotope ratios (δ 15 N) of freshwater mussels from a series of lakes and
ponds wererelated to watershed land use characteristics to assess their utility in determining …

We used growth rates of juvenile winter flounder Pseudopleuronectes americanus to assess
anthropogenic influence on habitat quality at three sites in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island …

Coastal ecosystems are under increasing stress from anthropogenic nutrient loading; which
is most often assessed through water quality measurements. Here, 136 published studies on …
