Potential impact of rising seawater temperature on copepods due to coastal power plants in subtropical areas

Spatial Distribution Trend of Plankton in Sungai Pulai Estuary, the Straits of Johor, Malaysia

“…Choi et al (2012) found that thermal stress would significantly cause mortality to Acartia sp. Jiang et al (2009) proved the negative effect of coastal power plant toward particularly the calanoid copepod composition and species diversity. Jiang et al (2008) also showed how thermal stress from coastal power plant could affect the temperature tolerance in marine copepods which seem to be species specific.…”

“…Both phyto-and zooplankton are influenced by the environmental factors in their distribution and assemblage (Hsieh et al 2004;Mwaluma et al 2003). The presence of ports, power plant and other similar activities in coastal areas would give effect to at least the water physic-chemical parameters such as salinity and temperature which further influence the planktons (Choi et al 2012;Jiang et al 2009Jiang et al , 2008. It is hypothesised that the water quality in areas with industrial activities will be different from those with natural habitat such as seagrass and mangroves.…”

Acute toxicity of crude oil water accommodated fraction on marine copepods: The relative importance of acclimatization temperature and body size

“…The toxicity experiments were started by transferring 20 healthy adult copepods (the same species) from the 40 L aerated maintenance tanks into each glass jar. The male-to-female ratio was not taken into account according to a previous experiment (Jiang et al, 2009b). The experimental conditions and processes of preliminary tests were the same as mentioned before.…”

Atmospheric Conditions, Landscape Characteristics, and Anthropogenic Factors Affecting Stream Water Temperature

“…Furthermore, the timing and magnitude of heat input and flow regimes are also affected by human activities (Poole and Berman, 2001). In particular, heat wasted through electricity generation significantly influences the thermal conditions of streams (Hamrick and Mills, 2000;Kinouchi et al, 2007;Jiang et al, 2009;Xin and Kinouchi, 2013) .…”
