Examination of the effects of toxicity and nutrition on a two-prey one-predator system with a metabolomics-inspired model

Felicity J. Ni et al.

Summary: Mercury (Hg) sequestration by phytoplankton and subsequent consumption by herbivorous zooplankton can mediate the transfer of mercury to higher trophic levels. This study introduces two prey species to a predator-prey system to investigate the effects of different prey items on zooplankton assemblages. The results show that the nutritional quality of prey is a major driver of predator-prey relationships, with higher nutritional quality leading to prey-dominated food webs. The study also suggests that the homeostatic rigidity of the predator can help cope with toxic exposure.

Impacts of exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS) discharge waters on planktonic biological indicators

Marco Picone et al.

Summary: Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (EGCS) in open-loop mode release acidic scrubber waters to marine waters, containing high concentrations of metals, PAHs, and alkylated PAHs, which can potentially harm plankton. Toxicity tests showed significant impairments in planktonic indicators after exposure to scrubber water from a vessel using high sulfur fuel. Various species exhibited acute effects and reduced survival or reproduction at different concentrations of scrubber water, indicating the risk of severe impacts on copepod populations and the entire food web.

Mixed polyaromatic hydrocarbon degradation by halotolerant bacterial strains from marine environment and its metabolic pathway

Manasa Muralidharan et al.

Summary: Accidents involving diesel oil spills are prevalent in sea-and coastal regions. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are persistent contaminants with poor water solubility. Microbial degradation of PAHs has proven to be a beneficial and effective method for pollutant removal.

A dynamic integrated model for mercury bioaccumulation in marine organisms

Giovanni Denaro et al.

Summary: A novel integrated dynamic model, the Integrated Fish Model (INTFISH), is presented and applied to a polluted area to study mercury dynamics in marine organisms. The model includes environmental and biota compartments and effectively estimates mercury concentration in fish based on real-time data from different modules. The model's modularity allows for extension to other fish species and assessment of health risks associated with human consumption of contaminated fish.

Microbial adaptation to co-occurring vanadium and microplastics in marine and riverine environments

Weiwen Yin et al.

Summary: The study analyzed water and sediment samples from marine and river ecosystems potentially polluted by vanadium and microplastics, revealing their distribution and microbial responses. It found that high concentrations of vanadium and microplastics coexisted in aquatic environments, with plastic-degrading bacteria and vanadium-reducing bacteria enriched in microplastic biofilms. Additionally, vanadium was found to influence the microbial community on microplastics by altering environmental factors.

Is polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentration significantly underestimated in scrubber effluent discharge?

Lei Du et al.

Summary: With the widespread use of scrubbers on ships, there is growing concern about the potential environmental risk of scrubber washwater, particularly the presence of toxic pollutants known as Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). Current lab analysis methods and monitoring devices may underestimate the actual PAHs concentrations in scrubber effluent, leading to controversy and confusion regarding the impact of scrubber effluent on the marine environment.

Comparative genomics reveals the evidence of aromatic hydrocarbons degradation potential in genus Roseovarius in marine environment

Yu-Hang Zhang et al.

Summary: This study conducted a comparative analysis of the complete genome and degrading functions of Roseovarius strains, revealing differences in geographical and phylogenetic branches of the genus and the presence of a complete phenanthrene metabolic pathway in most strains. Experimental results showed a significant advantage in degradation ability of marine originated strains. These findings highlight the importance of Roseovarius strains in environmental adaptation and aromatic degradation potential.

Effects of crude oil and gas condensate spill on coastal benthic microbial populations

E. Kababu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of crude oil and gas condensate spills on benthic microbial populations in the oligotrophic southeastern Mediterranean Sea. The results showed that the addition of crude oil and gas condensate significantly altered the sediment's chemical properties and had long-term effects on benthic autotrophic microbial biomass and heterotrophic bacteria.

Novel Interactions Between Phytoplankton and Bacteria Shape Microbial Seasonal Dynamics in Coastal Ocean Waters

Nestor Arandia-Gorostidi et al.

Summary: This study used network analysis to investigate the specific associations between phytoplankton and bacteria, revealing that phytoplankton dynamics may be a strong driver of inter-annual variability in bacterial community composition. Additionally, there were tighter associations between free-living bacteria and phytoplankton compared to particle-attached bacteria.

Effects of seawater scrubbing on a microplanktonic community during a summer-bloom in the Baltic Sea

Erik Ytreberg et al.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of different treatments of scrubber discharge water on a natural Baltic Sea summer micro planktonic community. Significant effects were observed in the 3% scrubber treatment, with an increase in total biovolume of microplankton compared to the control group, particularly impacting diatoms, flagellates incertae sedis, chlorophytes and ciliates.

Effects of ocean circulation on the eutrophication of a Mediterranean gulf with river inlets: The Northern Thermaikos Gulf

Yannis Androulidakis et al.

Summary: Thermaikos Gulf is a typical coastal inlet in the east-central Mediterranean Sea, which is susceptible to eutrophication events, particularly in the Northern Thermaikos Gulf. The events are mainly associated with southerly winds affecting ocean circulation, while northerly winds contribute to the renewal process in the Gulf.

Severe Toxic Effects on Pelagic Copepods from Maritime Exhaust Gas Scrubber Effluents

Peter Thor et al.

Summary: Effluent from exhaust gas cleaning systems on commercial ships, whether released directly to the sea or treated, contains high concentrations of heavy metals and PAHs that are toxic to marine organisms, leading to elevated mortality rates and impaired molting in copepods even at low concentrations. The toxic compounds in the effluents are not solely explained by individual PAHs or heavy metals, but may be from unknown compounds formed during the scrubbing process.

Chemical contamination alters the interactions between bacteria and phytoplankton

Olivier Pringault et al.

Summary: The interactions between phytoplankton and bacterioplankton in two contrasting marine coastal ecosystems are significantly affected by chemical contamination, with offshore waters showing a complex network of interactions and lagoon waters showing simpler interactions. Chemical contamination and sediment resuspension lead to changes in the interactions between phytoplankton and bacterioplankton, with distinct effects on nutrient availability and community structure in different ecosystems.

Ecosystem coupling: A unifying framework to understand the functioning and recovery of ecosystems

Raul Ochoa-Hueso et al.

Summary: Global change can disrupt connections among species and between species and their environment before obvious impacts are detected. Developing a unified conceptual framework to predict early ecological impacts is crucial. The concept of coupling may provide this framework, and understanding the links between coupling and ecosystem functioning can accelerate the transition to planetary-scale sustainability.
