This article is the most recent report of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Muar River and Pulau Merambong, Peninsular Malaysia. A total of 16 priority pollutant PAHs in addition to methylphenanthrene among alkylated PAHs were analyzed in surface sediments during May 2013. Total PAHs ranged from 212 to 440 and 151 to 412 ng g?1 dw in sediments from the Muar River and the Pulau Merambong, respectively. The Muar River showed an increasing trend of PAH concentrations, while no previous data exist for the Pulau Merambong. Generally, mixed petrogenic and pyrogenic sources of PAHs with predominance of the latter were detected in the study area. Effective management of oil pollution has caused a drastic decrease in petrogenic sources of PAHs. 相似文献

Abstract Total organic carbon, humic substances, and the species of trace metals (including Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Mn and Fe) in six and seven phases, such as bioexchangeable (P1), skeletal (carbonates, P2), easily reducible (Fe and Mn oxides, P3), moderately reducible (crystalline Mn oxides, P4), organic matters with sulphides (P5), and detritus with minerals (P6) as well as organic with humic substances (PB4) and organic residues (PB6), were analyzed in sediments from the Taiwan Erhjin coastal (including river and estuarine) area, where places we found the copper pollution. Results indicate that higher percentages of P1 and P2 for copper, zinc, lead, cadmium and manganese in samples collected in March and September of 1990 were much higher than those in P3-P6. High percentages of chromium and iron in samples respectively collected in March and September of 1990 were found in P6. for the seven phase analysis, higher percentages of copper species in PB4 and PB6 as well as iron species in PB7 were observed. On the other hand, purified humic acid with the high contents of manganese and iron in humic acid as well as purified fulvic acids were generally found at the upstream stations; and low values at coastal stations. However, extremely high copper (as high as 1750μg g?1, dry weight in fulvic acid and 820μg g?1 in humic acid) and lead (821μg g?1 in humic acid) concentrations with relatively high manganese and iron concentrations were observed in humic substances from the station near the copper recycling area. Comparing the results obtained from the Antarctic Ocean sediments with those from the Taiwan Erhjin Chi coastal sediments, the human impacts on the latter are evaluated. 相似文献

Penguins may exhibit plasticity in their diving and foraging behaviors in response to changes in prey availability. Chinstrap
penguins are dependent predators of Antarctic krill in the Scotia Sea region, but krill populations have fluctuated in recent
years. We examined the diet of chinstrap penguins at Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands, in relation to their diving
and foraging behavior using time-depth recorders over six breeding seasons: 2002–2007. When krill were smaller, more chinstrap
penguins consumed fish. In these years, chinstrap penguins often exhibited a shift to deep dives after sundown, and then resumed
a shallower pattern at sunrise. These night dives were unexpectedly deep (up to 110 m) and mean night dive depths sometimes
exceeded those from the daytime. The average size of krill in each year was negatively correlated to mean night dive depths
and the proportion of foraging trips taken overnight. Based on these patterns, we suggest that when krill were small, penguins
increasingly targeted myctophid fish. The average krill size was negatively correlated to the time chinstrap penguins spent
foraging which suggests that foraging on smaller krill and fish incurred a cost: more time was spent at sea foraging. 相似文献

Abstract Three collectives of substances - plastics, plant nutrients, biotoxins - are candidates for monitoring programmes that could keep track of the quality of ocean waters for vital life processes. All three are not subject to systematic surveillance at present. They are each characterized by long residence times in the marine environment, by increasing influx, and by growing evidence of their deleterious impacts on living systems. 相似文献

Gentoo penguins Pygoscelis papua show considerable plasticity in their diet, diving, and foraging behaviors among colonies; we expected that they might exhibit
similar variability over time, at a single site, since flexible foraging habits would provide a buffer against changes in
prey availability. We examined interannual changes in the foraging strategies and diet of gentoo penguins in the South Shetland
Islands, Antarctica, over 5 years with variable prey abundance. Antarctic krill Euphausia superba was the primary diet item, and fish the secondary, though the importance of these items varied among years. Diving behavior
also varied over time: different dive depth distributions were observed among years. Nonetheless, chick-rearing success remained
relatively constant, indicating that gentoo penguins were able to maintain chick provisioning by altering their foraging strategy
among years. Variable abundance of krill in the region did not have observable impacts on the diet, foraging behaviors or
chick-rearing success of gentoo penguins. We suggest that foraging plasticity may be one reason that gentoo penguin populations
have remained stable in the region, while their congeners (P. antarctica and P. adeliae) with less flexible foraging strategies have declined. 相似文献
