Glyphosate is the active ingredient in a range of widely used herbicides. The aim of this work
is to evaluate the effects of two commercial herbicides, Roundup and Avans, on the motility …

Two major problems associated with biofouling studies are the lack of broad scale testing
and failure to use consistent standards among different assays or studies. To address these …

The present study evaluated the single and mixed toxicities of commonly used antifouling
biocides (copper pyrithione, Sea nine 211, dichlofluanid, tolylfluanid, and Irgarol 1051) on …

The search for environment-friendly and non-toxic antifouling (AF) paint components has led
to the investigation of natural products from seaweeds. The defence metabolites used by …

The authors used 5 species of periphytic algae to conduct toxicity assays of 20 herbicides.
The 5 tested species represent riverine primary producers most likely to be affected by …

A growth inhibition test method was developed using the macroalga Gracilaria tenuistipitata
as the test organism. This alga was chosen because of its high laboratory growth rates …

Irgarol and diuron are the most representative “organic booster biocides” that replace
organotin compounds in antifouling paints, and metolachlor is one of the most extensively …

Laboratory experiments have shown that azole fungicides enhance the toxic effect of
pyrethroid insecticides towards the aquatic crustacean Daphnia magna. Due to their sorptive …

A 2-year study was implemented to characterize the contamination of estuarine continuums
in the Bay of Vilaine area (NW Atlantic Coast, Southern Brittany, France) by 30 pesticide and …

Seagrass meadows suffered large-scale declines in the past century. The 'wasting disease',
pathognomonically associated with Labyrinthula zosterae, reduced populations of Zostera …
