Vertical Distribution Of Estuarine Phytoplankton In The Surface Microlayer And At One Meter, And Fluctuations In Abundance Caused By Surface Adsorption Of Monomolecular Films, Victoria R. Gibson
Vertical Distribution Of Estuarine Phytoplankton In The Surface Microlayer And At One Meter, And Fluctuations In Abundance Caused By Surface Adsorption Of Monomolecular Films, Victoria R. Gibson
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
A quantitative comparison of the phytoplankton in the surface microlayer of an estuary and that a depth of one meter was made using a Garrett-type screen and a Frautschy bottle for sample collection. Results showed that the surface microlayer contained a significantly greater number of phytoplankton cells than the water at one meter. Species diversity at the surface tended to be somewhat lower than one meter, due to a greater number of individuals of the dominant species. Investigation revealed that the presence of a monomolecular film of slick material absorbed onto the water surface resulted in a decrease in the …
The Effects Of Thermal Shock And Chlorine On The Estuarine Copepod Acartia Tonsa, David Michael Dressel
The Effects Of Thermal Shock And Chlorine On The Estuarine Copepod Acartia Tonsa, David Michael Dressel
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Acute bioassays were conducted to determine the effects of thermal shock and chlorine exposure on the estuarine copepod Acartia tonsa. Laboratory conditions simulated power plant conditions using 8 C elevated temperatures and slug chlorination. A factorial design having temperatures at two levels and multiple chlorine additions, showed isolated effects of temperature and chlorine and their interaction. Adult Acartia tonsa withstood thermal shocks of 8 C above ambient summer temperatures of 20 to 25 C. No adverse effects were noted after 96 hours following an 8 ⃤ T over 5 seconds, holding at the elevated temperature for 5 minutes, and slowly …

Taxonomy And Distribution Of Western Atlantic Bittium (Gastropoda: Mesogastropoda), Ella May Thomson Wulff
Taxonomy And Distribution Of Western Atlantic Bittium (Gastropoda: Mesogastropoda), Ella May Thomson Wulff
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
The genus Bittium in the Western Atlantic was studied to determine the number and distribution of extant species. Shells of adults and juveniles collected from Brazil to Canada, including the type specimens of B. virginicum, were examined and compared on the basis of length, lengthwidth ratio and varix presence or absence. Although intergrades of B. alternatum and B. varium probably existed in the middle Chesapeake Bay, along the Atlantic shores of the Delmarva Peninsula and New Jersey, and in western Long Island Sound prior to 1940, B. alternatum is now found from Shark River, New Jersey, northward and B. varium …

Intertidal Zonation Of Marine Algae At Gloucester Point, Virginia, Barry Lee Wulff
Intertidal Zonation Of Marine Algae At Gloucester Point, Virginia, Barry Lee Wulff
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
A study was made of the intertidal zone of aged wooden pilings from February to June, 1967 at Gloucester Point Virginia,located in the lower York River estuary. Twenty-six species of marine algae were found grouped into three floristic zones.
Nine species were limited to below mean low water, whichialL.rlted the lowest cone. In this group there were six Rhodophyta and three Chlorophyta. Seven floral levels comprised the middle floristic zone between mean low water to a height of 74 cm above mean low water. These levels ere based on uppermost range extensions of sixteen species (six Cyanophyta, two Rhodophyta,one Phaeophyta …

Ecology Of Marine Invertebrate Fouling Organisms In Hampton Roads, Virginia, Dale R. Calder
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Investigations were conducted from 15 May 1964 to 3 January 1966 to determine the incidence, distribution, and abundance of marine invertebrate fouling organisms in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Dredging carried out at seven stations revealed that benthic organisms most likely to be involved in fouling were Thuiaria argentea, Alcyonidium verrilli, Microciona prolifera, Amathia vidovici, and Aeverrillia armata. All of these species occur in the Pier 12 berthing area of the Norfolk Naval Base, with. !· argentea and~- verrilli being most abundant. Detailed studies of the organisms attaching to asbestos fiber test panels were made at Pier 12 of the Naval Base. …
