The influence of pollution on pelagic larvae of bottom invertebrates in marine nearshore and estuarine waters

Algal associations of Tricolia pullus, Lacuna vincta and Cerithiopsis tubercularis (Gastropoda) with special reference to the settlement of their larvae

“…On the shore at Jennycliff young Lacuna were relatively scarce, at a time when veligers were abundant in adjacent waters (Manly, 1975), and numbers of Tricolia and Cerithiopsis very low. Here algal growth, particularly Lomentaria and Corallina, is less vigorous and its coverage of fine sediment, perhaps with adsorbed pollutants related to city effluents, may act as a repellant, especially for larvae (Galtsoff, 1964) and could be lethal (Mileikovsky, 1970).…”

The effects of the pulp and paper industry on the aquatic environment

“…There is a general lack of information regarding effects of anoxia, particularly for marine larvae. 317 …”

Studies of Benthonic Foraminifera in the Restigouche Estuary: 1. Faunal Distribution Patterns near Pollution Sources

“…This situation develops because many invertebrates are slow to respond and, in certain instances, possess an ability to isolate themselves from short-term unfavorable conditions. Conversely, the occurrence of intense conditions of pollution during a reproductive period can cause distributional changes that may be evident for many months because of the relatively greater sensitivity of juvenile specimens and pelagic larvae compared with adult forms (Mileikovsky, 1970). The parameters discussed below are useful therefore in describing the nature of possible physical and chemical barriers.…”
