Digenetic Trematodes From Embiotocid Fishes Of Tomales And Bodega Bays, California, Thomas David Rodella Jan 1968

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.

Seasonal Distribution Of Dinoflagellates In The Lower York River, Virginia, Gail Brown Mackiernan Jan 1968

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 …

Hydrozoa Of Southern Chesapeake Bay, Dale R. Calder Jan 1968

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 …
