This extensive handbook presents up-to-date coverage of significant developments in
estuarine and marine pollution. Multidisciplinary in approach, Practical Handbook of …

The incidence and intensity of hypoxic waters in coastal aquatic ecosystems has been
expanding in recent decades coincident with eutrophication of the coastal zone. Worldwide …

Seasonal O2 budgets were developed for the mesohaline region of Chesapeake Bay (USA),
which experiences bottom water O2 depletion in summer. Rates of O2 production and …

Estuaries around the world are in a state of decline following decades or more of
overfishing, pollution, and climate change. Oysters (Ostreidae), ecosystem engineers in …

There are increasing concerns about the impact of worsened physical condition on hypoxia
in a variety of coastal systems, especially considering the influence of changing climate. In …

Hypoxia occurs during summer in the southeastern region of Corpus Christi Bay, Texas. The
objectives of this study were to identify potential causes of recurrent hypoxic events, to …

Relationships among bottom-water dissolved oxygen (DO), vertical stratification, and the
factors responsible for stratification-destratification in this shallow, low tidal-energy estuary …

Nutrient load allocations and subsequent reductions in total nitrogen and phosphorus have
been applied in the Chesapeake watershed since 1992 to reduce hypoxia and to restore …

Individuals of 28 species of cyprinodontoid fishes have been reported from estuaries/salt
marshes of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of North America. Some species show limited …

Bottom-water hypoxia (≤ 2 mg l-1 dissolved oxygen [DO]) greatly modifies the benthic
habitat of estuaries, depending upon spatial extent, duration, and frequency. Bottom-water …
