The urgent need to minimize the potential harm deriving from global climate change and ocean acidification has led governmental decision-makers scientists explore study new strategies for reducing levels of anthropogenic CO2. One mitigation measures proposed concentration atmospheric CO2 is capture storage this gas in subseabed geological formations; proposal generating considerable international interest. main risk associated with option leakage retained CO2, which could cause serious...
Microplastics are emerging contaminants in the marine environment. They enter ocean a variety of sizes and shapes, with plastic microfiber being prevalent form seawater guts biota. Most laboratory experiments on microplastics has been performed spheres, so knowledge interactions microfibers organisms is limited. In this study we examined ingestion by sea anemone Aiptasia pallida using three different types polymers: nylon, polyester polypropylene. The polymers were offered to both symbiotic...
Carbon capture and storage is increasingly being considered one of the most efficient approaches to mitigate increase CO2 in atmosphere associated with anthropogenic emissions. However, environmental effects potential leaks remain largely unknown. The amphipod Ampelisca brevicornis was exposed sediments collected different areas Gulf Cádiz subjected several pH treatments study CO2-induced acidification on sediment toxicity. After 10 days exposure, results obtained indicated that high lethal...
Abstract Many chemicals that are currently used in aquaculture have not been evaluated with regard to their specific effects on the aquatic environment. In present study, toxic of several associated land-based marine fish farming activities were assessed using two species microalgae (Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Isochrysis galbana). Mini-scale toxicity tests performed six antibiotics (amoxicillin, ampicillin, flumequine, oxytetracycline, streptomycin sulfadiazine) disinfectants...
Abstract Global and local anthropogenic stressors such as climate change, acidification, overfishing, pollution are expected to shift the benthic community composition of coral reefs from dominance by calcifying organisms non‐calcifying algae. These changes could reduce ability reef ecosystems maintain positive net calcium carbonate accretion. However, relationships between calcification rates remain unclear. We performed field experiments quantify metabolic two most dominant substrate...
Carbon capture and storage has become a new mitigation option to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions. The effects of the CO2-related acidification, associated with unpredictable leaks during operational phases were studied using Paracentrotus lividus sea urchin-liquid-phase-assays (fertilisation embryo-larval development tests). Besides direct CO2-associated pH decrease, possible on marine sediment toxicity by exposing urchin larvae elutriate sediments different metals concentration, which...
