Salinity in a sentence

The researchers warn that salinity changes are predicted to intensify alongside ocean warming, and they stress the urgency of immediately addressing these salinity challenges to safeguard marine and coastal ecosystems and biodiversity.

The young shrimp start out in water with salinity of 35 to 40 parts per thousand; as they grow, the salinity is reduced to 6 to 15 parts per thousand.

At other times an empirical salinity/density relationship developed for a particular body of water is used to estimate the salinity of samples from a measured density.

Average oceanic salinity is around 35 parts per thousand (ppt) (3.5%), and nearly all seawater has a salinity in the range of 30 to 38 ppt.

Salinity is the saltiness or dissolved salt content of a body of water (see also soil salinity ).

According to Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Noctiluca scintillans is caused by warmer temperatures, salinity, up welling and wind.

Equipped with advanced sensors, cameras, and sometimes manipulative arms, ROVs can gather high-resolution imagery, physical samples, and a variety of data (such as temperature, salinity, and chemical composition).

Even now, water clarity is erroneously equated to salinity, whereas it is a matter of turbidity.

In the ecosystems of coastal wetlands has been found in the soil, rising temperatures and salinity the fungus’ resolve, likely enabling it to survive even at the body temperature of mammals.

Over their long history, cyanobacteria have evolved tricks that let them proliferate wildly when shifts in conditions such as nutrient levels or salinity kill off other microbes.

The method of caring for them is fairly simple: Feed them every two days, ensure the water in their tanks maintains the natural salinity of the sea and avoid exposure to excess rainfall.

South Texas farmers dependent on water from the Rio Grande have been facing increasing salinity in water as reservoir levels drop, with vegetable yields in some places.

The GSI said it was formed at the beginning of the Messinian Salinity Crisis, adding its formation involved dense gravity currents actively scouring and carving the seafloor at significant depths.

The water pumped from the Salton Sea will be mixed with water from the New River, enabling control over salinity concentrations in the habitat’s ponds.

They found increased salinity and high concentrations of heavy metals in water nearer oil wells, as well as high concentrations of lead and barium in human hair samples.

Also, if the sheen was coming from an actively flowing well, it would be accompanied by superheated high salinity water that would also come from the same producing reservoir.
