Many fish may provide a hugely important link between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and not only in the Amazon.

Aquatic ecosystems are among those most degraded, for example from pollution from fertilisers running off of agricultural land, says Bob Watson, chief scientist for the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural affairs,

The Hyalella amphipods are aquatic crustaceans commonly used by scientists and agencies as an indicator species of a healthy unpolluted environment.

In addition to wreaking direct havoc on tropical forests gold mining releases sediment into rivers with severe effects on aquatic life.

Nitrate contamination of aquatic ecosystems can be reduced by farmers following the 4rs of nutrient stewardship:

But I don't believe this necessarily means that our water is safe for aquatic organisms says Edward Kolodziej associate professor in engineering at the University of Nevada-Reno and the other corresponding author on the Science paper.

Caiman and other aquatic species have been exposed to pesticides from upstream banana plantations even in remote areas of a national wilderness area concluded Grant.

however their erosion of aquatic ecosystems highlights the need for a developed regulatory infrastructure and adequate enforcement.

Based on these results we do not expect the trace amounts of pyrethroids in sewage treatment plant effluent to be toxic to even the most sensitive aquatic life.

Although conventional wastewater treatment processes were designed not to remove trace pyrethroid residues we found in an earlier study of our existing treatment processes that the treatment processes were quite effective at pyrethroid removal he explained.

#Pesticides significantly reduce biodiversity in aquatic environmentsthe pesticides many of which are used currently in Europe and Australia are responsible for reducing the regional diversity of invertebrates in streams and rivers by up to 42 percent researchers report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

whether or to which extent and at what concentrations their use causes a reduction in biodiversity in aquatic environments.

In both Europe and Australia the researchers were able to demonstrate considerable losses in the regional biodiversity of aquatic insects and other freshwater invertebrates.

Biological diversity in such aquatic environments can only be sustained by them because they ensure a regular exchange between surface and ground water thus functioning as an indicator of water quality.

#Insecticides lead to starvation of aquatic organismsneonicotinoid insecticides have adverse effects not only on bees but also on freshwater invertebrates.

Exposure to low but constant concentrations of these substances--which are highly soluble in water--has lethal effects on these aquatic organisms.

and to identify processes other than starvation that influence survival rates in aquatic organisms the research team has developed also a mathematical model

It lives in aquatic habitats like freshwater wetlands and has developed corresponding highly specialized hunting methods.

or to eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems through water run off. The biologists said crops could be made more efficient in using water through discoveries in plant transport proteins that regulate the stomatal pores in the epidermis of leaves where plants lose more than 90 percent of their water through transpiration.

That is until the early 2000s when the underwater grasses also called submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) rapidly recolonized nearly the entire region.

Because sharks are aquatic the oxygen from the ocean is constantly being exchanged with oxygen in their body water and that's

The majority of studies on functional redundancy have been conducted in aquatic systems because large land animals can be hard to control in an experiment Holdo said.

The researchers warn that as forests are eroded through human activities such as logging the impacts will be felt in aquatic as well as terrestrial food chains.

Scientists at La Selva have discovered hundreds of species of aquatic insects that are unnamed still and undescribed.

In fact a new study shows that the CO2 outgassed by the river is drawn only from the river system itself by the semiaquatic vegetation on the flood plains.

This CO2 comes from the decomposition of the organic matter produced by semiaquatic vegetation in the Amazon wetlands.

The link between aquatic vegetation and CO2EMISSIONTEN French and Brazilian teams within the framework of the ANR-CARBAMA project

According to the researcher's estimates the majority of these emissions come from the respiration of the roots and the fall and decay of the semiaquatic vegetation in the flood plains.

In fact the researchers showed a very high export ratio toward the aquatic environment of the gross primary production of the Amazon wetlands:

It's a surprise to find methane is such a big source of energy in these gin-clear waters famed for their luxuriant plant growth said co-author Professor Mark Trimmer Head of the Aquatic Ecology Group at Queen Mary

The researchers will look at how the natural seasonality of river levels influences aquatic and terrestrial grasses fisheries

Amazonian grasses sometimes called macrophytes convert atmospheric carbon to plant biomass which is processed then by aquatic microorganisms upon decomposition.

and then die when the floods arrive releasing the carbon into the aquatic system said Thiago Silva an assistant professor of geography at SãO Paulo State university in Rio Claro Brazil.

They are followed by aquatic grasses that need to grow extremely fast to surpass the rising floods
