The Effects Of Salinity On Cadmium Toxicity To The Bay Mysid, Mysidopsis Bahia Molenock, Peter F. De Lisle Jan 1988

The Effects Of Salinity On Cadmium Toxicity To The Bay Mysid, Mysidopsis Bahia Molenock, Peter F. De Lisle

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

The effects of salinity on cadmium toxicity to the bay mysid, Mysidopsis bahia Molenock were studied in a series of experiments examining salinity tolerance, effect of salinity on intermolt period, osmoregulatory capacity, interaction of salinity with acute cadmium toxicity, role of changes in cadmium speciation, modification due to calcium antagonism and effects of cadmium on osmoregulatory ability. Upper and lower tolerance limits increased with increasing acclimation salinity. Intermolt duration decreased slightly with increasing salinity. Mysidopsis bahia osmoregulates at salinities from 5 to 37&\perthous& and exhibits an isosmotic point of 24&\perthous&. Hemolymph osmolality attained steady-state condition by 95 min post-transfer to …


Long Wave Generation By Wave Groups In The Nearshore, Jeffrey H. List Jan 1988

Long Wave Generation By Wave Groups In The Nearshore, Jeffrey H. List

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

This study investigates the forcing of leaky mode long wave by incident wave groups in the nearshore. Using both field and model data, two previously proposed generation models are evaluated: the bounded long wave of Longuet-Higgins and Stewart (1964), and the breakpoint-forced long wave of Symonds et al. (1982). New methods of parameterizing incident wave height modulations are proposed, including an amplitude time series and a clearly defined groupiness factor. Cross-correlations between observed amplitude and low frequency time series clearly document the release and shoreline reflection of a group-forced long wave. The shallow water amplification of the component identified as …
