This paper presents a coupled economic–ecological model that integrates a catchment model with a marine model and incorporates economic data to analyse the long-term economic and ecological consequences of nutrient abatement in the Baltic Sea. The spatially explicit model describes dynamics of soil phosphorus in arable land, developments of nutrient concentrations and phytoplankton biomass in the sea basins, and inter-annual variation in nutrient loads and biophysical processes. The performance of the model is demonstrated by computing the least-cost solution to reach the good environmental state of the sea – as implied by the Baltic Sea Action Plan – within a time span of 40 years. The total cost of achieving this target is 1487 M€ annually. Spatially optimal allocation of load reductions differs from the load reduction targets of the Baltic Sea Action Plan, and focuses more on the control of phosphorus loads. 相似文献
Muscle tissue from the common two-banded sea bream Diplodus vulgaris L. originating from the Adriatic Sea, Croatia, was analyzed. The FA composition of neutral (TAG) and polar (PE, PC, PI/PS)
lipid classes was determined, as well as the lipid and water contents during winter and summer periods. Both the total lipid
and water contents were higher in the winter period. We identified 16 different FA. The major constituents of the total FA
in both seasons were saturates: palmitic (16∶0) and stearic acids (18∶0); monoenes: oleic (18∶1n−9) and palmitoleic acids
(16∶1n−7); and polyunsaturates: arachidonic acid (20∶4n−6), EPA (20∶5n−3), and DHA (22∶6n−3), but their amounts and ratios
differed significantly between the two seasons and between lipid fractions. The FA composition showed a noticeable pattern
of seasonality that reflected fluctuations mainly in TAG. The diminution of the monounsaturated FA content in the summer was
clearly followed by an increase in PUFA content. Diplodus vulgaris is a good source of natural n−3 PUFA and would therefore be suitable for inclusion in highly unsaturated low-fat diets. 相似文献
Ozone treatment for preventing the biofouling in cooling water systems is investigated.
In the fresh water system, the separating effect of the ozonated water on the microorganisms such as the sphaerotilus and the zoogloea which adhere to the piping and form the slime is recognized. When the ozonated water is supplied intermittently to the piping without stopping the flow of the cooling water, a constant volume of cooling water can be maintained. At the velocity of 1 m/sec, the amount of metal corrosion produced by the ozonated water is reduced on the mild steel, increased on the copper and does not change on the cast iron, when compared with that produced by the water containing no ozone.
In the seawater system, since many substances are oxidized by the ozone, the same treatment as that in the fresh water system cannot be applied. However, if the seawater in the cooling system can be replaced with ozone-containing air intermittently once a week, the adhesion of organisms such as barnacles and mussels to the piping can be prevented without having a bad influence on the other living oceanic organisms. 相似文献
