Early life stages of fish (eggs and larvae) are particularly vulnerable with mortality rates of up
to 99% recorded for a large number of species. High mortality rates result from the limited …

Lake Erie supplies drinking water to more than 11 million consumers, processes millions of
gallons of wastewater, provides important species habitat and supports a substantial …

Hypoxia, triggered in large part by eutrophication, exerts widespread and expanding stress
on coastal ecosystems. Hypoxia is often specifically defined as water having dissolved …

We review current understanding of the potential impact of climate change on the
Chesapeake Bay. Scenarios for CO2 emissions indicate that by the end of the 21st century …

Jellyfish (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa) blooms appear to be increasing in both intensity and
frequency in many coastal areas worldwide, due to multiple hypothesized anthropogenic …

A reduction in dissolved oxygen concentration is one of the most important direct effects of
nutrient over-enrichment of coastal waters on fishes. Because hypoxia can cause mortality …

Chesapeake Bay has been the subject of intensive research on cultural eutrophication and
extensive efforts to reduce nutrient inputs. In 1987 a commitment was made to reduce …

A 52-yr record of dissolved oxygen in Chesapeake Bay (1950–2001) and a record of nitrate
(NO 3−) loading by the Susquehanna River spanning a longer period (1903, 1945–2001) …

Research on the large array of tropical estuarine fishes has increased markedly in recent
years and hence scientific knowledge about most aspects of these important fishes' biology …

▪ Abstract Oysters have been introduced worldwide to 73 countries, but the ecological
consequences of the introductions are not fully understood. Economically, introduced …
