The biogeochemical processes affecting the transport and cycling of terrestrial organic
carbon in coastal and transition areas are still not fully understood. One means of …

Particulate waste from open‐cage fish farms in marine systems can cause organic
enrichment of seabed habitats and enter the food web through consumption by wild …

Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopic signatures of suspended particulate organic matter and
seawater biological oxygen demand (BOD) were measured along a coastal transect during …

Stable isotopes and fatty acids were used to trace the assimilation of salmon feed (pellets)
into the tissues of the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis. The stable isotope (δ13C and δ15N) and …

Stable isotopes (δ 15 N, δ 18 O) can serve as tracers for sources of nitrogen in the receiving
environment. Hong Kong discharges~ 3× 10 6 m 3 d− 1 of treated wastewater into the ocean …

Eutrophication is one of the key local stressors for coastal marine ecosystems, particularly in
those locations with many estuaries, intense coastal development or agriculture, and a lack …

Abstract Puget Sound (Washington, USA) is a large estuary, known for its profitable shellfish
aquaculture industry. However, in the past decade, scientists have observed strong …

Methylmercury is a toxin of local, regional, and global concern, with estuarine habitats
possessing ecological characteristics that support conversion of inorganic mercury into this …
