Acute Toxicity Of Unbleached Kraft Mill Effluent (Ukme) To The Oppossum Shrimp, Neomysis Americana Smith, Fred Jacobs
Acute Toxicity Of Unbleached Kraft Mill Effluent (Ukme) To The Oppossum Shrimp, Neomysis Americana Smith, Fred Jacobs
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
96-hour TL50 values of unbleached kraft mill effluent (UKME) for Neornysis arnericana were found to range from concentrations of 3.29 to 6.85% at 26-28 C and 3.90 to 7.30% at 16-18 C. Differences between batches of effluent proved insignificant in experiments at each temperature regime. Furthermore, UKME did not lose its toxicity, when stored for 5 to 7 days at 4 C. A concentration of 20% effluent killed 100% of the organisms in 8 of the 12 bioassays. Slope functions and confidence limits of TL50 were calculated. This dissertation is from the Joint Program Degree from the College of William …
Distribution, Growth, Selective Feeding, And Energy Transformations Of Young-Of-The-Year Blueback Herring, Alosa Aestivalis (Mitchill), In The James River, Virginia, Richard Greig Burbidge
Distribution, Growth, Selective Feeding, And Energy Transformations Of Young-Of-The-Year Blueback Herring, Alosa Aestivalis (Mitchill), In The James River, Virginia, Richard Greig Burbidge
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Energy transformations and budget are computers for young-of-the-year blueback herring, Alosa aestivalis, in the James River, Virginia. Distribution, growth, and selective feeding are described. Fish and zooplankton collections were made at five stations in the main channel of the James RIver from June through November 1969. Two 24hr series of samples were collected in July and October 1968 in the Potomac River. A direct relationship existed between standing cropos of zooplankton and distribution, growth, and feeding of blueback herring. Zooplankton densities were highest upstream, where food consumption and growth rates were correspondingly highest. A progressive downstream decrease and upstream increase …
The Reproductive Cycle And Larval Tolerances Of Rangia Cuneata In The James River, Virginia, Thomas David Cain
The Reproductive Cycle And Larval Tolerances Of Rangia Cuneata In The James River, Virginia, Thomas David Cain
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
The autecology of the brackish water clam Rangia cuneata was investigated in the James River, Virginia, from February 1970 to January 1972. The reproductive cycle, combined salinity and temperature effects on embryos and larvae, and setting were studied. Histological slides were made, set collected, and temperature and salinity measurements taken from three populations living in different salinity regimes. Phases of gonad development are described. Gametogenesis started in April and from May through September clams were found in all gonadal phases. Ripe gonads were found from May to late November with no summer or inactive period. It was determined by the …
