Combined methods to detect pollution effects on shell shape and structure in Neogastropods
(Elsevier Science, 2011-03)
Tributyltin (TBT) has been widely used as antifouling in marine environments, producing imposex in gastropod females (i.e. neoformation of a vas deferens and/orapenis) and shell malformation sinbivalves. However, effects ...
Rapid sewage pollution assessment by means of the coverage of epilithic taxa in a coastal area in the SW Atlantic
(Elsevier Science, 2018-07)
The sewage pollution impact over coastal environment represents one of the main reasons explaining the deterioration of marine coastal ecosystems around the globe. This paper aims to detect promptly a putative sewage ...
RXR Expression in Marine Gastropods with Different Sensitivity to Imposex Development
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-06)
The superposition of male sexual characteristics in female marine gastropods (imposex) represents one of the clearest ecological examples of organotin-mediated endocrine disruption. Recent evidences suggest that signaling ...
Effect of atmospheric pollutants on the corrosion of high power electrical conductors: Part 1. Aluminium and AA6201 alloy
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2006-10)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the joint effect of marine and industrial pollutants on the atmospheric corrosion of aluminium and its AA6201 alloy. Weight loss was determined after 4, 11, 16 and 24 months exposure ...
Implications of biological factors on accumulation of persistent organic pollutants in Antarctic notothenioid fish
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2017-11)
In the present study, the possible associations between selected persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and biological factors were assessed in different tissues of two Antarctic notothenioid fish: Notothenia rossii (NOR) ...
Benzoates: A new approach to non-toxic marine fouling control
(Emerald, 2001-02-01)
Owing to present and expected future regulations on the use of polluting antifouling compounds, there is a growing need for alternative methods for the prevention of biofouling. Some experiments on the effect of iron ...
First evidence of microplastics in the Marine Protected Area Namuncurá at Burdwood Bank, Argentina: a study on Henricia obesa and Odontaster penicillatus (Echinodermata: Asteroidea)
(Springer, 2021-10)
Large quantities of microplastics end up in the marine environment, constituting a potential threat for many organisms even in remote protected areas where the extent of this type of pollution is still unknown. This study ...
Effect of atmospheric pollutants on the corrosion of high power electrical conductors - Part 2. Pure copper
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2007-05)
The research work performed during this study was simultaneously followed with another one published in this journal as Part I. A1 and 6201 A1 alloy. Its aim was to reveal a comparative picture of the joint effect of marine ...
Seasonal and pollution-induced variations in biomarkers of transplanted mussels within the beagle channel
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011-06)
The occurrence of biomarker variations linked to environmental factors makes it difficult to distinguish the effect of pollution. In an attempt to evaluate spatial and seasonal effects of environmental parameters on biomarker ...
Fouling assemblage of marine debris collected in a temperate South-western Atlantic coastal lagoon: A first report
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-05)
In the South-western Atlantic, studies dealing with the impacts of debris on marine species are focused mainly on vertebrates, being scarce the studies conducted to determine the association of fouling species to marine ...
