“…In station 11, organisms of VDSI V and VI were found in 1997 and in January 2000, only a single female amongst 18 adults was present showing VDSI of IV. The unbalanced sex distribution in those stations may result from selective extinction of females due to the blockage of capsule glands, a phenomenon observed in other regions and described by Spence et al (1990), Nicholson et al (1998) and Blackmore (2000).…”

“…We must know whether animals of individual species are affected by chemical and physical stressors, for example, and in what ways, in order to evaluate the risk to ecosystems. Whereas the search for standard bioassay organisms for the study of chemical pollution or organic enrichment in the marine environment already has a long history Franke et al 1998;Nicholson et al 1998;Leemiki et al 1999), marine organisms that can serve as useful indicators of ultraviolet (UV)-B effects are just beginning to be identified. The reasons lie in the facts that: (1) the number of potential UV indicators is small because the only viable candidates are organisms actually exposed to UV and unprotected in their natural habitat, and (2) only in recent years has it gradually been recognized that increased UV-B irradiation is indeed significant for marine aquatic habitats (e.g.…”
