Talk:Dead zone (ecology)

message: I removed the following quote from the article as it doen't seem to contribute much in the way of information to the article. If there is a strong opinion from wikipedians that it should be back in, you can get it from below:
: “Humankind is engaged in a gigantic, global experiment as a result of the inefficient and often overuse of fertilizers, the discharge of untreated sewage and rising emissions from vehicles and factories,” the executive director of the UN program, Klaus Toepfer, wrote in a statement introducing the 2004 report.
I didn't see any mention of sewage discharge in the article.
I think the source section here needs work.
The photo caption is misleading too, it makes it sound like dead zones are caused by sediment as well as fertilizer. Also, I thought that the Mississippi River didn't deposit as much sediment as it used to because it is more humanly controlled? Whereas the fertilizer output has increased...

message: I removed the following paragraph as I could not verify the reference, which I also removed:
Another study by the University of Texas at Austin Marine Science Institute was done on the Atlantic croaker fish in Pensacola Bay, Florida.  The study was of year-old croakers that live in an estuary that has summer-long hypoxic conditions.  During the study, none of the fish spawned at the expected time, or later.  Examination of sample fish determined that they lacked mature eggs or sperm. (Murphy, et al., 2004)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hydrorellen (talk • contribs) 23:47, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  CNN article about dead zones 

message: Is the following sentence really true? 
: ... during the night hours algae continue to undergo cellular respiration and can therefore deplete the water column of available oxygen.
http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/2000-10/971667498.Gb.r.html suggests this is not the case. Does anyone know more? 78.52.167.64 (talk) 13:40, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Does cellular respiration deplete water from oxygen? 

message: To what extent do dead zones apply only to sea versus fresh water?  Do they occur only in shallow areas (continental shelf?)  Also, would there be any semipermanent dead zones in a world without man?  I.e. places where just the rivers flowing into ocean would make one?  Or is it only happening with fertilizers?

thread_title:  Types of Dead Zones 

message: I believe the Effects section in the article could be improved upon through several measures.
* Remove paragraphs talking about the effect of hypoxic conditions on fish reproduction as irrelevant details, and summarize removed information.
* Rewrite section on impact of severe hypoxic conditions on motile and nonmotile life
* Expand on economic impact of dead zones
* Expand slightly on connection with increased Jellyfish abundance, add link to Jellyfish bloom page and redirection to [[Jelly-falls]
Would these changes improve the section? Any further suggestions and feedback are appreciated!

replies: text: The Effects section is dense and hard to navigate because it quickly switches to numerous topics, I think the page could benefit from breaking up the section into smaller parts and captioning each specific effect. For example, perhaps algal blooms and jelly fish could have their own section since they are both biotic components of the effects section.
