Journal ArticleDOI

Anthropogenic pollution of aquatic ecosystems: Emerging problems with global implications

TL;DR: Five sources of anthropogenic pollution that affect marine and freshwater ecosystems are discussed: sewage, nutrients and terrigenous materials, crude oil, heavy metals and plastics, and the direct and indirect effects that these pollutants have on a range of aquatic organisms even when the pollutant source is distant from the sink.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photoacclimation of antarctic marine diatoms to solar ultraviolet radiation

TL;DR: Results provide further evidence that MAA compounds are synthesized in response to high light conditions and that they do decrease the photoinhibitory effects of UVR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solar UV Radiation Drives CO2 Fixation in Marine Phytoplankton: A Double-Edged Sword

TL;DR: UVR can act as an additional source of energy for photosynthesis in tropical marine phytoplankton, though it occasionally causes photoinhibition at high PAR levels and oceanic carbon fixation estimates may be underestimated by a large percentage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ammonium and UV radiation stimulate the accumulation of mycosporine-like amino acids in Porphyra columbina (Rhodophyta) from Patagonia, Argentina

TL;DR: Photoinhibition (as a decrease of optimal quantum yield) was significantly greater under nitrogen‐deprived conditions than that under replete ammonium levels, and positive relationships between maximal GP or ETR and pigment ratios (BP and MAAs/chl a) and negative relationships with chl a concentration were found.
