概括
河显著改变了鱼类的饮食和污染物水平. 水库中的鱼类含有有益的矿物质,但含有更高的,而上游鱼类的含量较低. 位置和物种对污染物和营养物质的积累有影响.
科学领域:
- 环境科学 环境科学
- 生态毒理学 生态毒理学
- 水生生态学 水生生态学
背景情况:
- 河可以捕捉结合沉积物的元素,影响水化学和食物网.
- 水电大改变水生生态系统,可能会影响鱼类污染物和营养水平.
- 了解这些影响对于渔业管理和公共卫生至关重要,特别是对于土著社区.
研究的目的:
- 调查麦克塔奎克发电站 (MQGS) 如何影响鱼类中的污染物 () 和营养物质 (欧米茄-3脂肪酸,稳定同位素) 积累.
- 为了比较水上游 (水库和河流) 和水下游的鱼类组成.
- 评估水引起的变化对食物网动态和鱼类化学成分的影响.
主要方法:
- 在2020-2021年从沃拉斯托克和圣约翰河收集的小口,黄,美国和条纹.
- 分析了鱼类组织的 (Hg),30种其他微量元素,欧米茄-3脂肪酸 (EPA,DHA) 和稳定的同位素 (δ15N,δ13C).
- 与MQGS大相比,来自水库,上游河流和下游地区的鱼类之间的污染物和营养水平的比较.
主要成果:

Osmoregulation in Fishes
49.9K
When cells are placed in a hypotonic (low-salt) fluid, they can swell and burst. Meanwhile, cells in a hypertonic solution—with a higher salt concentration—can shrivel and die. How do fish cells avoid these gruesome fates in hypotonic freshwater or hypertonic seawater environments?

Structure of Lipids
88.6K
Lipids include a diverse group of compounds that are largely nonpolar in nature. This is because they are hydrocarbons that include mostly nonpolar carbon-carbon or carbon-hydrogen bonds. Non-polar molecules are hydrophobic (“water fearing”), or insoluble in water. Lipids perform many different functions in a cell. Cells store energy for long-term use in the form of fats. Lipids also provide insulation from the environment for plants and animals. For example, they help keep aquatic...

Quality of Water
126
In concrete preparation, the quality of water is paramount as it affects the strength and durability of the concrete. Potable water is usually preferred; however, it must not have excessive sodium or potassium to prevent compromising the concrete's integrity. Water quality is typically evaluated based on impurities such as dissolved solids, chlorides, and sulfates, and its pH value is ideally between 6 and 8. Even slightly acidic natural water may be acceptable unless it contains harmful...
