Marine Fungi Of Iceland: A Preliminary Account Of Ascomycetes, A. R. Cavaliere

Biology Faculty Publications

This paper reports, for the first time, 25 species of marine pyrenomycetes from Icelandic waters. Taxonomic notes are included for certain species.

Surtsey, a submarine volcanic upthrust off the south coast of Iceland (Thorarinsson, 1967), is a current center for cooperative geophysical, geochemical, and biological investigations on an international scale. The mycological portion of the total biological research effort of the Surtsey project has emphasized a survey of the marine and freshwater mycoflora on the mainland of Iceland itself as a necessary prerequisite to ecological studies on Surtsey. With the exception of two reports on aquatic phycomycetes (Larsen, 1931, and …

Digenetic Trematodes From Embiotocid Fishes Of Tomales And Bodega Bays, California, Thomas David Rodella

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The present paper deals solely with parasites of marine fishes of the family Enbiotocidae represented in the American Pacific according to Special Publications no. 2, American Fisheries Society, 1960, by 20 species, all of which are marine except the Tule perch, Hysterocarpus traski (Gibbons) from fresh water. In Tomales and Bodega Bays 174 fishes representing 9 embiotocid species were examined and found to harbor 6 species of digenetic trem todes, including one here in described as new.

Hydrozoa Of Southern Chesapeake Bay, Dale R. Calder

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Hydrozoans of southern Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries were studied from April 1965 until March 1968 to determine faunal diversity, seasonality and reproductive periodicities. Laboratory culture techniques were used in describing unknown or inadequately known stages in the life history of several species and as an aid in identification. A total of 55 species was identified, including 43 hydroids and 32 medusae. Of these, 22 hydroids and 15 medusae are reported in Chesapeake Bay for the first time. Two species earlier reported from the bay, Eudendrium carneum and Blackfordia virginica, were not found. Clytia paulensis and the hydroid of Proboscidactyla …

Seasonal Distribution Of Dinoflagellates In The Lower York River, Virginia, Gail Brown Mackiernan

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Surface plankton samples were collected weekly over a 14-month period from the York River at Gloucester Point, Virginia. All dinoflagellates collected were identified to the species level when possible, and the relative abundance of each form was noted. The local dinoflagellate flora was examined with attention being given to environmental factors which might influence its composition. Special emphasis was placed on "red water" blooms.

One hundred eighteen separable forms, representing 20 genera of Pyrrhophyta, were collected. Of these, 84 were identified to the species level with reasonable certainty. Five of the 118 belonged to the class Desmophyceae, the remainder to …

Seasonal Occurrence Of The Pelagic Copepoda In Mississippi Sound, Thomas D. Mcilwain

Gulf and Caribbean Research

Collections of planktonic copepods from Mississippi Sound were made from January 1965 to March 1966. The following fifteen free­ living copepods were identified: Eucalanus pileatus, Paracalanus par­vus, Centropages hamatus, Centropages furcatus, Temora stylifera, Temora longicornis, Labidocera aestiva, Labidocera species, Acartia tonsa, Oithona brevicornis, Oithona species, Oncaea venusta, Cory­caeus species, Sappharina nigromaculata and Euterpina acutifrons.

It was found that there is a definite seasonal distribution of cope­pods in Mississippi Sound with peak populations of copepods occu­rring in the spring, summer and fall.

Occurrence Of The Parasitic Dinoflagellate Oodinium Cyprinodontum Lawler, 1967 In North Carolina., Adrian R. Lawler

VIMS Articles

The parasitic dinoflagellate Oodinium cyprinodontum Lawler, 1967 is reported for the first time from Cyprinodontidae from the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Incidence and intensity of infestation data are given. Fundulus majalis (Walbaum) appears to be the primary host.

Meristic And Morphometric Data On The Flatfish Citharichthys Gilberti From Panama, C.E. Dawson

Gulf and Caribbean Research

Citharichthys gilberti Jenkins and Evermann, a common eastern Pacific flatfish, is known from Guaymas and Baja California, Mexico, south to Peru (Miller, 1966). It attains a total length of at least 260 mm (Meek and Hildebrand, 1928), frequently occurs on muddy bottoms and may enter rivers or other brackish water environments. Despite wide distribution there are apparently few literature references to the species and little is known of its life history or development. During a recent trip to the Pacific coast of Panama, C. gilberti was found to be the most abundant flatfish taken at a number of poisoned inshore …

Biology And Utilization Of Anadromous Alosids: Annual Progress Report (October 1, 1967 - September 30, 1968), Jackson Davis, J. Ernest Warinner, Joseph P. Miller

Reports

Scales were collected from alewife, blueback, American shad and hickory shad in each tidal river system in Virginia at weekly intervals. Reading of alewife scales is complete to date and the alewife catch from the York and Rappahannock Rivers has been analyzed for sex composition and spawning history.

Lack of catch records from the James and Potomac Rivers precludes analysis of these populations. Fishing effort in the major rivers during 1968 was equal to that of 1967. The catch of river herring increased approximately .4 million pounds over 19_67 increasing catch per unit of effort to the highest level on …

A Supplement To The Fauna And Flora Of Horn Island, Mississippi, E. Avery Richmond

Gulf and Caribbean Research

Since the publication of “The Fauna and Flora of Horn Island, Mississippi’’ (Richmond 1962) search for unrecorded species present on this island, or in the waters surrounding it, has been continuing by myself and others. The premise that all of the plants and animals living in a given area can never be located completely is naturally well-founded. However, it seems advisable to continue the search for unlisted species of Horn Island.

Many unrecorded specimens have been collected and it seems proper at this time to make a supplementary list available to the public, particularly those interested in fields of science …

Observations On The Stone Crab, Menippe Mercenaria Say, In The Vicinity Of Port Aransas, Texas, Earnest H. Powell Jr., Gordon Gunter

Gulf and Caribbean Research

Observations on the stone crab, Menippe mercenaria Say, were started on December 16, 1947. The purpose of these observations was to study the natural history and behavior of this crab, with special reference to its importance as an oyster predator. Plans called for some simple laboratory experimentation and monthly field observations. Although the regularity of the observations was interrupted for various reasons, some information gained which may interest workers is herewith presented.

The Status Of Seals In The Gulf Of Mexico With A Record Of Feral Otariid Seals Off The United States Gulf Coast, Gordon Gunter

Gulf and Caribbean Research

The only seal native to the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean area is the West Indian seal (family Phocidae). It is tan on the upper surface and a yellowish white underneath. It is now extinct or nearly so. Two seals were reported in Louisiana near the mouth of the Mississippi in January 1966. Photographs of one animal taken from a helicopter showed an otariid seal. In late June a light colored otariid seal began to reside on the buoys of the ship channel leading into Mobile Bay. It stayed there about two and a half weeks. The animal was …

A Commensal Relationship Between A Foraminifer And A Bivalve Mollusk, Wayne D. Bock, Donald R. Moore

Gulf and Caribbean Research

During June, 1960, the M/V Hermes of the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory made several trawl hauls south of Horn Island, Mississippi. One haul was made June 27 at a depth of 20 m. on sandy mud botton at 30°04’30” N., 88”36’ W., or about 10 nautical miles south of Horn Island. A considerable number of animals, including starfish, hermit crabs and tube worms, were caught in the trawl. Pieces of the parchment-like worm tube of Chaetopterus variopedatus (Renier) were caught in the meshes of the net and were also collected.

A small bivalve mollusk, Notocorbula operculata (Philippi 1848) was found …
