Heavy Metals In Oysters From Virginia Since Tropical Storm Agnes, Robert J. Huggett Mar 1973

Heavy Metals In Oysters From Virginia Since Tropical Storm Agnes, Robert J. Huggett

Reports

Rainfall from tropical storm Agnes caused the salinity of the major estuaries entering the Chesapeake Bay to be drastically lowered. Bottom sediments normally subjected to 10 to 15 salinities were under fresh water. Heavy metals, pesticides and other pollutants adsorbed to these bottom sediments were undoubtedly mobilized. These once "stored" concentrations were augmented by the massive amounts of erosional products which created a high pollution potential. in shellfish in the Chesapeake Bay. For this reason the Virginia Institute of Marine Science asked for and received financial assistance from the Food and Drug Administration to assess the changes in heavy metal …

Critical Flicker Frequency In A Harp Seal, Pagophilus Groenlandicus (Erxleben, 1777), Charles D. Bernholz Jan 1973

Critical Flicker Frequency In A Harp Seal, Pagophilus Groenlandicus (Erxleben, 1777), Charles D. Bernholz

UNL Libraries: Faculty Publications

Critical flicker frequency (CFF) in a free-swimming harp seal (Pagophilus groenlandicus) was investigated using behavioral techniques. The resulting CFF versus intensity contour indicates a definite rod-cone break, confirming a duplex photoreceptor population whose presence had not been observed in previous morphological reports.

Lymphocystis is described for the first time from Africa. Lymphocystis infected cells formed clusters on the tails of cichlid fishes from East African lakes. Small rounded inclusion bodies and many large vacuoles were observed in the cytoplasm of the hypertrophied cells.

A Study On The Growth Rate Of Brown Shrimp (Penaeus Aztecus Aztecus Ives, 1891) From The Coasts Of Veracruz And Tamaulipas, Mexico, Ernesto A. Chávez Jan 1973

A Study On The Growth Rate Of Brown Shrimp (Penaeus Aztecus Aztecus Ives, 1891) From The Coasts Of Veracruz And Tamaulipas, Mexico, Ernesto A. Chávez

Gulf and Caribbean Research

The present study was undertaken with the purpose of getting the proper basis for exploiting brown shrimp resources in a rational manner, by introducing control regulations of fishing activities. The growth rate models are necessary for the other parameters of population dynamics of the stocks of this species, whose annual catch, Osborn, Maghan and Drummond (1969), averages 54 million pounds of tail weight, representing 52% of the total shrimp caught in the Gulf of Mexico. This shows that Penaeus aztecus aztecus is the most important of shrimp species exploited in this region. Nevertheless, the brown shrimp is the least well …


Models Of Primary Productivity In The Oceans, William Yi-Been Chang Jan 1973

Models Of Primary Productivity In The Oceans, William Yi-Been Chang

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

A general mathematical equation relating variables affecting primary production has been developed to predict changes .in the vertical distribution of primary production in the oceans. The model is tested and shown to fit empirical observations from diverse oceanic areas.


The Marine Algae Of Virginia And Maryland Including The Chesapeake Bay Area, Franklyn D. Ott Jan 1973

The Marine Algae Of Virginia And Maryland Including The Chesapeake Bay Area, Franklyn D. Ott

VIMS Articles

Until 1965 there existed no publication treating any aspect of the benthic or attached marine algae of the coast of Virginia and Maryland including the Chesapeake Bay area. Prior to this date only minor references to particular species for this area .,can be found in the literature. This paucity of research can be attributed, in the main, to the lack of solid substrata permitting prolonged and extensive development of algal populations. Time spent on more favorable habitats such as the rocky shores of the New England coast offer, to the phycologist, far more rewarding results for his endeavors. (...)

Malate Dehydrogenase And Tetrazolium Oxidase Of Scyphistomae Of Aurelia-Aurita, Chrysaora-Quinquecirrha, And Cyanea-Capillata (Scyphozoa-Semaeostomeae), Al Lin, Pl Zubkoff Jan 1973

Malate Dehydrogenase And Tetrazolium Oxidase Of Scyphistomae Of Aurelia-Aurita, Chrysaora-Quinquecirrha, And Cyanea-Capillata (Scyphozoa-Semaeostomeae), Al Lin, Pl Zubkoff

VIMS Articles

Three species of scyphozoan jellyfishes, Aurelia aurita (LINNAEUS 1758), Chry- saora quinquecirrha (Desor 1848), and Cyanea capillata (LINNAEUS 1758) are commonly found in Chesapeake Bay. Because of the uncertainty in the identification of jellyfish scyphistomae (polyps) collected from the field, CALDER (1971) used the nematocyst complement for distinguishing polyps of these different species. BURNETT & GOULD (1971) used an immunological assay to differentiate polyps of Aurelia aurita and Chrysaora quinquecirrha from those of Cyanea capillata.

In this study, the MDH and tetrazolium oxidase (TO) isozyme patterns of the polyps of Chesapeake Bay Aurelia aurita, Chrysaora quinquecirrha, and Cyanea capitlata are …
