Rhodora V. Azanza, Lourdes J. Cruz, Flerida A. Cariño, Alelea G. Blanco, Vito M. Butardo Jr. For the first time the potential of Noctiluca scintillans, a non-toxic mixotrophic dinoflagellate, in bioconverting and/or excreting saxitoxin has been illustrated, thus contributing to the limited knowledge on the aspects of toxin pathways in the food chain/web and predator-prey preferences. Noctiluca growth rate increased with higher Pyrodinium concentration but the ratio of Noctiluca to Pyrodinium should… Journal: Toxicon, vol. 55, no. 5, pp. 1017-1023, 2010;

C. Longo, G. Corriero, M. Licciano, L. Stabili. Sponges can filter large amounts of water, which exerts an important grazing impact on free bacteria, an important component of the diet of sponges. We examined the accumulation of bacteria in the Demospongiae (Hymeniacidon perlevis). Analyses were performed on homogenates from unstarved and starved sponges in seawater from their sampling site (the Ionian Sea). Culturable heterotrophic bacteria (22°C), total culturable… Journal: Marine Pollution Bulletin — MAR POLLUT BULL, vol. 60, no. 8, pp. 1182-1187, 2010;

N. R. Samal, A. Mazumdar, K. D. Johnk, F. Peeters In the present study, a numerical model of the hydrodynamic and thermal structure of artificial shallow lakes in eastern India has been developed as a tool to assess the ecological water quality, driven by the meteorological forcings.

The experience was carried out under laboratory conditions, by using natural seawater collected from the sponge environment. The study demonstrates a high efficiency of the sponge in… Journal: Water Research — WATER RES, vol. 40, no. 16, pp. 3083-3090, 2006;

[Chapter in Book] Effects of Contamination by Heavy Metals and Eutrophication on Zooplankton, and Their Possible Effects on the Trophic Webs of Freshwater Aquatic Ecosystems. In this chapter, the combined effects of eutrophication and of heavy metal contamination on the zooplankton community of a freshwater ecosystem are analyzed. Through biomonitoring, it was possible to study zooplanktonic attributes as indicators of environmental stress: species richness, species diversity, equity, and biomass. These attributes allowed the detection of structural and functional changes. There was an inverse relationship between stress situations and zooplankton body size with a proliferation of r-strategist species (rotifers) and opportunistic species (nauplii larvae), a dominance of tolerant species, and a decrease in the most sensitive ones, such as larger size crustaceans (copepods and cladocerans). The results of this study showed that zooplankton responds as a good descriptor of water quality, constituting an efficient tool to assess eutrophication and heavy metal contamination. A general diagram integrating possible effects of eutrophication and heavy metal contamination on the trophic webs of freshwater ecosystems is also included. Emphasis in biological control is suggested as a relevant control measure.
