Marine Pollution and Microbial Remediation

Marine Pollution and Microbial Remediation by Milind Mohan Naik (Editor), Santosh Kumar Dubey (Editor)

Marine environment is the largest habitat covering approximately 70% of the total earth surface. Oceans are the main regulatory agent of earth's climate and harbour a huge diversity of living organisms. Marine environment provide a unique ecological niche to different microbes which play a significant role in nutrient recycling as well as various environmental activities.

Aquatic Animals: Biology, Habitats, and Threats

Aquatic Animals: Biology, Habitats, and Threats (Marine Biology: Animal Science, Issues and Professions) by David L. Eder (Author)

This book presents topical research from across the globe in the study of the biology, habitats and threats to aquatic animals. It discusses topics that include the acoustic ecology of pinnipeds in polar habitats; the immunotoxicological reactivity of hemocytes of juvenile mudcrabs; the potential threat of genotoxic metals to marine mammal health; and, toxic contaminants in aquatic medium concerns and the role of bacteria in the chilled storage and cryopreservation of sperm in aquatic animals.

Sound Propagation through the Stochastic Ocean by John A. Colosi (Author), 1st Edition

The ocean is opaque to electromagnetic radiation and transparent to low frequency sound, so acoustical methodologies are an important tool for sensing the undersea world. Stochastic sound-speed fluctuations in the ocean, such as those caused by internal waves, result in a progressive randomisation of acoustic signals as they traverse the ocean environment. This signal randomisation imposes a limit to the effectiveness of ocean acoustic remote sensing, navigation and communication.
