Atmospheric Input Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons To The Sea Surface Microlayer, Lino J. Gallo
Atmospheric Input Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons To The Sea Surface Microlayer, Lino J. Gallo
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Atmospheric input of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) to water was studied and the effects of sea surface microlayer (SSM) determined. The York River system and the Perrin River areas were monitored with a drum skimmer and a high volume air sampler. Experiments were conducted in the laboratory under controlled conditions. The SSM extracted vapor phase PAH of low molecular weight from the air, and there, aromatic compounds went from dissolved into particulate phase very rapidly. Water covered with a natural SSM received much less atmospheric input of PAH than water without SSM in a given period of time. Henry's law …

Population Dynamics Of Young-Of-The-Year Striped Bass, Morone Saxatilis, Populations, Based On Daily Otolith Increments, Lisa L. Kline
Population Dynamics Of Young-Of-The-Year Striped Bass, Morone Saxatilis, Populations, Based On Daily Otolith Increments, Lisa L. Kline
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Validation of daily increment deposition in otoliths of juvenile striped bass up to 80 days of age was provided through sequential sacrifice of known age hatchery-reared fish in 1987 and 1989, and through tetracycline marking of otoliths of cage-cultured striped bass in 1989. Ages of fish between 80-110 days old were consistently underestimated by 1-3 growth increments. Known age juvenile striped bass were raised in the laboratory in 1989 under controlled environmental conditions. These experiments provided evidence of an endogenous circadian rhythm controlling daily increment deposition in juvenile striped bass otoliths. Juvenile striped bass were collected in the 4 Virginia …

Comparative Community Structure Of Surf-Zone Fishes In The Chesapeake Bight And Southern Brazil, Cassiano Monteiro-Neto
Comparative Community Structure Of Surf-Zone Fishes In The Chesapeake Bight And Southern Brazil, Cassiano Monteiro-Neto
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
The structure of surf-zone fish communities at Cassino (western South Atlantic, WSA) and the Chesapeake Bight (western North Atlantic, WNA) is described using historical beach seine data, to examine similarities between geographically isolated fish communities. Numerical classification, ANCOVA, Shanon-Wiener diversity and its components, and species rarefaction are used to describe fish community structure: (a) within habitat (Cassino); (b) within region (Chesapeake Bight); (c) within the western Atlantic (comparison between Cassino and the Chesapeake Bight). The surf-zone fish community at Cassino had a low diversity and was dominated by a few species. Seasonal periods identified by cluster analysis correlated well with …
An Investigation Of Impediments To Commercial Shellfish Mariculture In Virginia, Robert Charles Neikirk
An Investigation Of Impediments To Commercial Shellfish Mariculture In Virginia, Robert Charles Neikirk
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
A nationwide survey of shellfish mariculturists was used in conjunction with a literature review and review of state and federal laws and regulations, to identify impediments to commercial shellfish mariculture development. The results of the survey and reviews were utilized to identify likely impediments to commercial shellfish mariculture in Virginia and to develop recommendations to address the identified impediments, should Virginia wish to pursue efforts to enhance development of this industry. This study suggests there are state laws, regulations, and policies which act as impediments to commercial shellfish mariculture development in Virginia. Mar,y of the identified regulatory impediments result from …

Inner Continental Shelf Benthic Boundary Layer Dynamics And Suspended Sediment Transport, Sung Chan Kim
Inner Continental Shelf Benthic Boundary Layer Dynamics And Suspended Sediment Transport, Sung Chan Kim
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
An experiment conducted over the shoreface at Duck, North Carolina in 1985 embraced both fair-weather low energy and storm-related high energy conditions. to differentiate the diffusion and advection processes of suspended sediments under the high energy conditions from those under the low energy conditions, numerical modeling and the analysis of field data are exercised. A simple two-layer eddy viscosity wave-current combined boundary layer model is developed. The modeled characteristics of the boundary layer are incorporated with a diffusion equation to give suspended sediment concentration profiles. A velocity scale related to factors other than turbulent diffusion is formulated, representing the diffusion …
