Data-Driven Model for the Prediction of Total Dissolved Gas: Robust Artificial Intelligence Approach by Mohamed Khalid AlOmar, Mohammed Majeed Hameed, Nadhir Al-Ansari, Mohammed Abdulhakim AlSaadi

“…Saturated total dissolved gas (TDG) is recently considered as a serious issue in the environmental engineering field since it stands behind the reasons for increasing the mortality rates of fish and aquatic organisms. The accurate and more reliable prediction of TDG has a very significant role in preserving the diversity of aquatic organisms and reducing the phenomenon of fish deaths. …”

The Use of Lime in Fish Ponds by Andy M. Lazur, Charles E. Cichra, Craig Watson

“…Hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide) is an inexpensive and effective pond sterilizer, raising the pH quickly and dramatically above tolerable levels for most aquatic organisms. It should be used carefully, avoiding contact to the applicator, and never used in ponds containing desirable fish. …”

Response of equilibrium states to spatial environmental heterogeneity in advective systems by Roger M. Nisbet, Kurt E. Anderson, Edward McCauley, Mark A. Lewis

“…We present theory that describes this relationship for populations in media with strong unidirectional flow (e.g., aquatic organisms in streams and rivers). Typically, equilibrium populations change in very different ways in response to changes in demographic versus dispersal rates and to changes over local versus larger spatial scales. …”

Aerobic Biodegradation of Four Groups of Steroid Hormones in Activated Sludge by Jiaxin Zhang, Jun Luo, Hong Chang

“…Steroid hormones in the environment have obtained considerable attention, as they can be harmful to aquatic organisms at very low concentrations. An analytical method was developed for simultaneously monitoring four estrogens, seven androgens, seven progestogens, and eleven glucocorticoids in a single water sample using liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry. …”

Levels and Profile of Tetrodotoxins in Spawning <i>Cephalothrix mokievskii</i> (Palaeonemertea, Nemertea): Assessing the Potential Toxic Pressure on Marine Ecosystems by Grigorii V. Malykin, Peter V. Velansky, Timur Yu. Magarlamov

“…It has recently been suggested that the eggs and larvae of these animals can be a source of tetrodotoxins (TTXs) for other aquatic organisms. In the current study, TTXs in mature and post-spawning individuals and in the eggs of <i>C. mokievskii</i> were identified using high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. …”
