Marine Bivalve Mollusks and Emerging Pollutants: Toxicological
Impacts provides the most updated and comprehensive knowledge of
the toxicological impacts of a variety of emerging pollutants on
marine bivalve mollusk species. In addition to synthesizing recent
toxicological findings, this book also discusses toxification
mechanisms, current challenges, and future research prospects.
Written by international experts, this book assesses new advances
in the toxicological impacts of pollutants including microplastics,
bromide flame retardants, nanomaterials, pharmaceutical residues,
personal care products, pesticides, and perfluorinated compounds.
It details how these can affect reproduction, embryonic
development, metabolism, and immune systems of marine bivalves.
Behavioral responses, and neuroendocrine regulation is also
discussed. Toxification mechanisms are interpreted at both
physiological and molecular levels. The book concludes with current
research and environmental challenges and potentials for further,
future study techniques. Marine Bivalve Mollusks and Emerging
Pollutants: Toxicological Impacts is an important resource for
marine biologists, aquaculturists, fisheries officials, coastal
environment managers, and conservationists who wish to understand
emerging pollutants and their potential toxicological
impacts.Â
Ocean Acidification and Marine Wildlife: Physiological and
Behavioral Impacts provides comprehensive knowledge on how
decreases in the pH of the world's oceans is affecting marine
organisms. The book synthesizes recent findings about the impacts
of ocean acidification (OA) on marine animals, covering the
physiological and behavioral effects upon marine invertebrates and
vertebrates, the potential physiological and molecular mechanism
affects, and interactions of OA with other environmental factors.
Written by international experts in this research field, this book
summarizes new discoveries of OA effects on fertilization,
embryonic development, biomineralization, metabolism, immune
response, foraging, anti-predation, habitat selection, and the
social hierarchy of marine animals. This is an important resource
for researchers and practitioners in marine conservation, marine
wildlife studies, and climate change studies. In addition, it will
serve as a valuable text for marine biology and animal science
students.
