This work examines the waters of marine ports as unique integrated
aquatic ecosystems. It regards marine ports as entities comprising
components of natural and anthropogenic origin, including pelagic,
periphytal and benthal subsystems. Using selected Black and Azov
Sea ports as examples, the book discusses the hydrodynamics and
water exchange, which are weakened in ports compared with open
coastal zones. It reflects consequences of the presence of
hydrobionts and the accumulation of organic matter, which are
promoted by the variety of hard substrata and the absence of
fishery. The book is divided into five main chapters. The first
chapter describes the general characteristics of the marine ports
at the northern coast of the Black and Azov Seas and their shipping
channels. Chapters 2 to 4 discuss the main abiotic and biotic
peculiarities of the pelagial, periphytal and benthal subsystems of
those marine ports, and chapter 5 deals with tropho-dynamic
processes in their ecosystems. A concluding section reflects
recommendations how the ecosystems of ports in non-tidal seas may
be ameliorated.
