Surface-sediment and hermit-crab contamination by butyltins in southeastern Atlantic estuaries after ban of TBT-based antifouling paints
(Springer, 2014-05-01)
Butyltin (BT) contamination was evaluated in hermit crabs from 25 estuaries and in sediments from 13 of these estuaries along about 2,000 km of the Brazilian coast. BT contamination in hermit crabs ranged from 2.22 to 1,746 ...
Pollution in Coastal Areas: An Integrated Perspective in Environmental Risk Studies
(Nova Science Publishers, 2017)
Transitional water systems such as estuaries and subestuaries are areas of greatconcern in ecotoxicology due to urban and industrial settlement, being key areas ofproductivity and biogeochemical exchange between ocean and ...
Spatio-temporal population and reproductive responses in Perinereis gualpensis (Polychaeta: Nereididae) from estuaries under different anthropogenic influences
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015-05)
Reproductive and population-level responses are ecologically relevant diagnostic tools for revealing the cost of long-term tolerance to contaminants. Spatial density distribution, seasonal density, biomass, size frequency ...
Skin diseases in Guiana dolphins (Sotalia guianensis) from the Paranagua estuary, Brazil: A possible indicator of a compromised marine environment
(Elsevier B.V., 2009-03-01)
We report on the presence of lobomycosis-like disease (LLD) and nodular skin disease (NSD) in a community of Guiana dolphins (Sotalia guianensis) inhabiting the biologically and chemically contaminated Paranagua estuary ...

Assessing the ecological effects of contaminants in estuaries in Brazil: Gaps and future directions
(2017-02-03)
This chapter reviews published papers from the last 15 years that estimate the effects of contamination in Brazilian estuaries. The goals were to identify (i) the main classes of contaminants studied in estuarine systems ...
