Global climate change affects productivity and species composition
of freshwater and marine aquatic ecosystems by raising
temperatures, ocean acidification, excessive solar UV and visible
radiation. Effects on bacterioplankton and viruses, phytoplankton
and macroalgae have farreaching consequences for primary consumers
such as zooplankton, invertebrates and vertebrates, as well as on
human consumption of fish, crustaceans and mollusks. It has
affected the habitation of the Arctic and Antarctic oceans the most
so far. Increasing pollution from terrestrial runoff, industrial,
municipal and household wastes as well as marine transportation and
plastic debris also affect aquatic ecosystems.
This book presents methods for investigating the effects of aquatic
environmental changes on organisms and the mechanisms involved. It
focuses mainly on photosynthetic organisms, but also provides
methods for virus, zooplankton and other animal studies. Also
including a comprehensive overview of the current methods in the
fields of aquatic physiology, ecology, biochemistry and molecular
approaches, including the advantages and disadvantages of each
method, the book is a valuable guide for young researchers in
marine or aquatic sciences studying the physiological processes
associated with chemical and physical environmental changes.
