University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to examine correlations between physico-chemical factors; between factors and particular species of zooplankton; between species of zooplankton; and between different locations in a dead-end slough. Fourteenmile Slough, located in northwest Stockton, California) was chosen as the location for this study.

The development of the animal after birth is marked by complex changes. Certain periods are particularly important and have been defined as "critical periods" (Krecek, 1971). Two processes are important to the survival of the animals during these times. The process of "adaptation" involves the maturation of specific physiological systems according to the needs of the neonatal animal, and is dictated by the external environment. The process of "tolerance" renders the neonate relatively unresponsive to a stressor as compared to the adult and protects the animals from over-responding the depleting vital resources until it is physiologically mature. An example of …
