MARINE BIO-ECOLOGY FOR OFFSHORE ENGINEERING
(objectives)
The course is aimed at providing industrial engineers with basic knowledge in marine biology and ecology, so that the student can appreciate the potential adverse impact of anthropic activities on the marine ecosystem and make informed decisions favouring sustainability of marine production activities.

1) INTRODUCTORY LIMNOLOGY: PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF WATER (TEMPERATURE-DENSITY, TRANSPARENCY, SALT COMPOSITION, SALINITY, CONDUCTIVITY, HARDNESS); WATER BODY THERMAL BALANCE; AQUATIC MOVEMENTS (CURRENTS, TIDE, SEICHE); DISSOLVED OXYGEN AND REGULATING FACTORS; CARBON DIOXIDE, BICARBONATE, CARBONATE, BUFFER SYSTEM, MINERAL ACIDITY AND ALKALINITY; NUTRIENT CYCLES; ORGANIC MATTER, TOTAL SOLIDS, SUSPENDED MATERIAL, SEDIMENTS, BOD AND COD. 2) AQUATIC LIFE: PLANCTON, NECTON E BENTHOS; CLASSIFICATION, METABOLISM AND LIFE CYCLES, COLLECTION METHODS AND TOOLS, ABUNDANCE AND BIOMASS ASSESSMENT; WATER COLUMN AND SEDIMENT ECOLOGY: PRIMARY PRODUCTION, SCRAPERS, SHREDDERS, AND SCAVENGERS: ENERGETIC FLOW IN FOOD PYRAMIDS AND WEBS; EXAMPLES OF SEA AND COASTAL AREAS. Resistance and resilience to conditions of negative impact of offshore human activities on the marine ecosystem; perceive the cause of the disturbance and plan works that can promote the sustainability of offshore production initiatives.
