    Notes: Abstract Toxicity assessment based on sediment chronic bioassays with the aquatic worm Tubifex tubifex was performed at ten contaminated sites in the industrial area of Bilbao (Northern Spain). One control and three reference sites were also included. Tubifex bioassay measures both survival and reproduction impairment. These endpoints have been contrasted and discussed in relation to somatic growth and both individual and total biomass of cocoons. Survival was only affected at one site which was heavily contaminated by organic compounds, mainly PAHs. A group of four severely ecotoxic sediments was characterised by a drastic reduction in number and size of cocoons, and adult somatic growth. In other group of sediments, some significant increases were found for these variables. It is suggested that these increases represent an effect of hormesis. An index of reproductive effort was used to integrate the relationship between somatic growth and reproduction. Values of reproductive effort at the test sediments were lower than those at the control sediment, suggesting a conservative strategy of oligochaete worms which consisted in an investment into somatic line (growth) at the expenses of offspring. Rates of food consumption which were estimated from egestion rates, were low at the contaminated sites. This fact could be related to the low production levels found at these sites and may reflect avoidance feeding behaviour of the oligochaete worms within the sediments. At some reference sites, high production could have resulted from high nutritional quality of sediments, or to an hormetic effect due to low concentration of some chemicals. Results are discussed in relation to toxicity data from sediment three-brood bioassay with Daphnia magna Straus performed separately on the same sediments.

    Notes: Abstract Acclimation responses of the red alga Gracilaria tenuistipitata var. liui collected on the northwest coast of Philippines were determined in laboratory setups and outdoor cultivation tanks in Haifa, Israel. Growth under laboratory conditions was influenced by all three variables studied, namely, temperature (20 or 30 °C), salinity (20, 30 or39‰) and seawater pH (6.5, 7.0, 8.0 or ≥ 9.0). In 250 mL flasks lacking pH control growth was influenced by temperature only at 20 ‰, whereas at 39 ‰, growth rates were similar at 20 or 30 °C. In 500 mL cylinders in which pH was controlled, growth rates were significantly different at a pH of 6.5 and 7.0 for all salinities, with maximal rates occurring in 39 ‰. At pH 8.0, and above, growth rates between salinities were similar and reduced to approximately 50% at a pH of 9.0 compared to rates at a pH of 6.5. Photosynthesis responses generally resembled growth responses both, in 250 mL and 500 mL cultures. In 40-L outdoor tanks, weekly growth and agar yields were apparently enhanced by increasing light intensities (up to full sunlight) and nutrient concentrations (up to 0.2 mM PO3 2- and 2.0 mM NH4 +), and rates averaged four times higher than rates determined in the smaller flask cultures. This study shows broad salinity tolerance of G. tenuistipitata var. liui and its ability to sustain growth rates that are among the highest measured for Gracilaria spp. in outdoor cultures.

    In:  Supplement to: Alonso, Belen; Ercilla, Gemma; Martinez-Ruiz, Francisca C; Baraza, Jesus; Galimont, A (1999): Pliocene-Pleistocene sedimentary facies at Site 976: depositional history in the northwestern Alboran Sea. Zahn, R; Comas, MC; Klaus, A (eds.)

    Description: The Pliocene and Pleistocene deposits recovered at Site 976 from the northwestern Alboran Sea at the Málaga base-of-slope include five main sedimentary facies: hemipelagic, turbidite, homogeneous gravity-flow, contourite, and debris-flow facies. The thickness and vertical distribution of these facies into lithostratigraphic Units I, II, and III show that the turbidites and hemipelagic facies are the dominant associations. The Pliocene and Pleistocene depositional history has been divided into three sedimentary stages: Stage I of early Pliocene age, in which hemipelagic and low-energy turbidites were the dominant processes; Stage II of early Pleistocene/late Pliocene age, in which the dominant processes were the turbidity currents interrupted by short episodes of other gravity flows (debris-flows and homogeneous gravity-flow facies) and bottom currents; and Stage III of Pleistocene age, in which both hemipelagic and low-energy gravity-flow processes occurred. The sedimentation during these three stages was controlled mainly by sea-level changes and also by the sediment supply that caused rapid terrigenous sedimentation variations from a proximal source represented by the Fuengirola Canyon.
