A Review Of The Factors Influencing The Growth Of The Northern Quahog, Mercenaria Mercenaria (Linnaeus, 1758), Michael A. Rice, Jan A. Pechenik
A Review Of The Factors Influencing The Growth Of The Northern Quahog, Mercenaria Mercenaria (Linnaeus, 1758), Michael A. Rice, Jan A. Pechenik
Michael A Rice
Factors affecting the growth of larval, juvenile, and adult northern quahogs, Mercenaria mercenaria, are reviewed. Larval growth is affected by temperature, salinity, current speed, dissolved oxygen concentration, and the amount of suspended sediments in the water, along with such nutritional factors as food quantity and quality. Growth of post-set juvenile and adult quahogs is similarly affected by the same physical and nutritional factors. Recent work suggests that there is a strong genetic contribution to quahog growth rate and that selective breeding programs may be useful for producing rapid growth strains. A growing body of evidence suggests that larval growth rates …

Trends In Overwintering Egg Populations Of A Pine Sawfly, Neodiprion Autumnalis, On Ponderosa Pine Sampled In January And December 1991 Near Ft. Meade In South Dakota, Judith E. Pasek, Willis C. Schaupp Jr
Trends In Overwintering Egg Populations Of A Pine Sawfly, Neodiprion Autumnalis, On Ponderosa Pine Sampled In January And December 1991 Near Ft. Meade In South Dakota, Judith E. Pasek, Willis C. Schaupp Jr
Judith E Pasek
In 1990 and 1991, a number of outbreaks of the pine sawfly, Neodiprion autumnalis, were reported in western South Dakota and eastern Wyoming. Near Ft. Meade in South Dakota, defoliation in 1990 was heavy at the center of the infestation and decreased to light defoliation at a distance of 1 mile from the center. Defoliation at the same location in 1991 appeared to range from heavy to moderate.
Three sites near Ft. Meade that were sampled in January 1991 were resurveyed in December 1991 to assess changes in overwintering egg populations and degree of defoliation and to determine the potential …

Populations Of Douglas-Fir Beetle In Green Trees Three Years After The Clover Mist Fire On The Clarks Fork Ranger District, Shoshone National Forest, Wyoming, Judith Pasek, Willis Schaupp
Populations Of Douglas-Fir Beetle In Green Trees Three Years After The Clover Mist Fire On The Clarks Fork Ranger District, Shoshone National Forest, Wyoming, Judith Pasek, Willis Schaupp
Judith E Pasek
Brood densities of Douglas-fir beetle (DFB), Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopkins, in green trees adjoining areas burned by the 1988 Clover Mist Fire varied by site, but averaged 8 per 36 sq. in. for bark samples at all sites examined during November 1991. Brood densities were much reduced from 1990 levels, but were similar to densities found in blackened trees in fall 1989. The reduction from 1990 levels was attributed to heavy winter mortality of brood caused by prolonged extreme cold temperatures. Most brood in fall 1991 samples was present in the callow adult stage, similar to 1989 samples, and in contrast …
Status And Trends Of Mountain Pine Beetle Populations In The Bear Mountain And White House Gulch Areas On The Harney Ranger District, Black Hills National Forest, South Dakota, Judith E. Pasek, Willis C. Schaupp Jr
Status And Trends Of Mountain Pine Beetle Populations In The Bear Mountain And White House Gulch Areas On The Harney Ranger District, Black Hills National Forest, South Dakota, Judith E. Pasek, Willis C. Schaupp Jr
Judith E Pasek
Increasing and epidemic populations of the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) were detected and evaluated in the southcentral Black Hills. Mortality of ponderosa pine, Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws., in the area increased each year since 1988 and was six times greater in 1991 than in 1989. Survey results indicate an average of 29 trees killed per acre by this bark beetle from 1989 through 1991 in the Bearhouse project area. Infestation is especially concentrated in the Bear Mountain Basin area, where between 27 and 103 trees per acre have been killed, and a large beetle population …

Bivalve Aquaculture In Warm Tropical And Subtropical Waters With Reference To Sanitary Water Quality, Monitoring And Post-Harvest Disinfection, Michael A. Rice
Bivalve Aquaculture In Warm Tropical And Subtropical Waters With Reference To Sanitary Water Quality, Monitoring And Post-Harvest Disinfection, Michael A. Rice
Michael A Rice
The warm water and high primary productivity of tropical estuaries allows for rapid growth and production of bivalves, but sanitary quality of molluscan shellfish poses one of the single largest impediments to development of international markets. The regulations of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are outlined as representative of regulations governing international trade of fresh and frozen molluscan shellfish. The status of shellfisheries and molluscan aquaculture in several tropical and subtropical nations is presented. A number of developing nations, including Mexico, Peru and the Philippines, have established export markets for fresh scallop adductor meats because they are not …
The Effects Of Copper, Cadmium And Zinc On Particle Filtration And Uptake Of Glycine In The Pacific Oyster Crassostrea Gigas, Wenyu Lin, Michael A. Rice, Paul K. Chien
The Effects Of Copper, Cadmium And Zinc On Particle Filtration And Uptake Of Glycine In The Pacific Oyster Crassostrea Gigas, Wenyu Lin, Michael A. Rice, Paul K. Chien

1. The filtration rate (volume of water completely cleared of collodial carbon per unit time) by control oysters is 36.60 ml/g hr ± 7.68 (sd).2. Filtration rates decrease with increasing concentrations of Cd2+ and Zn2+.3. In 8–16 mg/l Cu2+, filtration rates are significantly higher than the control, but in Cu2+ concentrations above 32 mg/l, filtration rates are lower than controls.4. Influx of 14C-glycine is characterized by Michaelis-Menten kinetics with Jmax and Kt values of 1.85 ± 0.097 μmol/g hr and 33.7 ± 4.6 μM respectively.5. The uptake rate of glycine from 1 μM solution is 37.79 μmol/g hr.6. In order …
