Accelerator mass spectrometric radiocarbon measurements on benthic foraminifera shells, picked from samples on which concordant ages were obtained on the shells of two species of planktonic foraminifera, reveal that the age of deep water in the equatorial Atlantic during glacial time was 675±80 years (compared to today's age of 350 years) and that ...
The first part of this thesis describes a simulation model of the carbon flows in the Oosterschelde estuary, S.W. Netherlands. Aim of the model is to describe the availability of food for macrobenthic filterfeeders, and possible changes in this as a result of the construction of a half-open storm-surge barrier. Major aspects of the model are transp...
The present investigations were supported by the Polish Academy of Sciences as a part of the Projects MR —II I6A and MR I 29A, and they were carried out during the I-st (I976-78) and IV—th (1979—80) Polish Antarctic Expeditions to the "Arctowski" Station.

As part of extensive biological and chemical investigations in the Ems estuary, the nematode fauna of this area (mainly located in the sediments of tidal flats) was studied.
First, a new method of isolating nematodes was developed, as none of the existing methods appeared to be quantitatively reliable for the isolation of organisms from silty sedime...

Goal, Scope and BackgroundOver the last decade Greece has become a leading country in the EU as concerns the cage farming of seabream and seabass. A strong debate has risen, however, about the environmental impacts of aquacultures in the coastal areas. The present paper deals with this problem and it is based on measurements of physico-chemical par...

Pronounced changes have occurred in the fisheries, plankton and benthos of the North Sea over the last five decades. Attribution of the relative contribution of anthropogenic versus natural hydrometeorological modulation to these changes is still unclear. As a background a summary history of our understanding of the state of health of the North Sea...

Samples collected by trawl and grab at 800 m depth atop Eratosthenes Seamount, south of Cyprus, have yielded a relatively rich and diverse fauna. This notably comprises two species of scleractinian coral (Caryophyllia calveri, Desmophyllum cristagalli), which are the first live records from the Levant Basin and significantly extend the species’ dep...
