Degradation rates of benzene, p-xylene, naphthalene, and o-dichlorobenzene have been measured in a heterogeneous, unconfined aquifer during a pulse injection experiment at Columbus Air Force Base, Columbus, Mississippi. Dissolved oxygen in the pulse plume maintained aerobic conditions. Degradation kinetics calculated from the complete field data set were approximately first order with the following rate constants: benzene, 0.0070 d-1; p-xylene, 0.0107 d-1; naphthalene, 0.0064 d-1; and o-dichlorobenzene, 0.0046 d-1. Reaction rates were also calculated from a near-field subset of the data using a model based on the hydrologic characteristics of the aquifer. Shapes of the degradation rate curves were consistent with …

Criteria For Predicting Zebra Mussel Invasions In The Mid-Atlantic Region, Patrick Baker, Shirley Baker, Roger Mann
Criteria For Predicting Zebra Mussel Invasions In The Mid-Atlantic Region, Patrick Baker, Shirley Baker, Roger Mann
Reports
What is the probability that zebra mussels will invade specific bodies of water within a given state? If they do invade, will they become economic and ecological pests as they have in portions of the Great Lakes? These and similar questions are addressed, with the expectation that management strategies can be developed to delay, mitigate, or possibly even prevent zebra mussel invasions, in some areas.
Life History, Population Dynamics And Yield-Per-Recruit Modeling Of Atlantic Croaker, Micropogonias Undulatus, In The Chesapeake Bay Area, Luiz R. Barbieri

Otoliths, scales, dorsal spines, and pectoral fin rays, of Atlantic croaker, Micropogonias undulatus, were compared for legibility of presumed annuli and precision in repeated readings, to determine the best structure for ageing. Marks on transverse otolith sections were easiest to read and showed the best agreement between readings. Fish collected in Chesapeake Bay and in Virginia and North Carolina coastal waters during 1988-1991 were then aged using otolith sections. Ages 1-8 were recorded, but eight-year-old fish were rare. Marginal increment analysis showed that for ages 1-7 annuli are formed once a year during the period April-May. Otolith age readings were …

The Structure Of The Holocephalan Head And The Relationships Of The Chondrichthyes, Eileen D. Grogan
The Structure Of The Holocephalan Head And The Relationships Of The Chondrichthyes, Eileen D. Grogan
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
The interrelationship of the chondrichthyan subclasses is evaluated based on divergence in the nature of the suspensorium, the preorbital cranial anatomy, the distribution of major venous sinuses and localization of hematopoietic tissue. The anatomy of representative extant taxa was examined by radiography and/or dissection. Fossil selachians, paraselachians, and holocephalans of the Bear Gulch of Montana, U.S.A. (Mississippian, Namurian E2B) were studied for evidence of vascular pigmentation, suspensorium, and cranial, branchial, and pectoral anatomy. These studies validate the suspensorial condition of autodiastyly and suggest autodiastyly is a fundamental condition involved in the basic radiation of Chondrichthyes. The plesiomorphous condition of all …
Gill Surface Area In Relation To Growth Rates And Maximum Size In Sharks, David Noboru Hata
Gill Surface Area In Relation To Growth Rates And Maximum Size In Sharks, David Noboru Hata
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
The most commonly used equation to describe size at age in fishes is the von Bertalanffy equation (VBE), which assumes that growth rate is based on the balance of anabolic and catabolic processes: dW/dt = HW&\sp{lcub}\rm d{rcub}&-kW&\sp{lcub}\rm m{rcub}&. Anabolism, HW&\sp{lcub}\rm d{rcub}&, is considered proportional to gill surface area (A = rW&\sp{lcub}\rm d{rcub}&), and a "generalized" VBE (GVBE) has been previously determined: L&\sb{lcub}\rm t{rcub}& = L&\sb\infty&(1-exp(-KD(t-t&\sb{lcub}\rm O{rcub})))\sp{lcub}\rm 1/D{rcub}&, where D = b-bd and b is from W = qL&\sp{lcub}\rm b{rcub}&. The growth rate may be rewritten in terms of gill area, A, as dW/dt = kA/(A&\sb\infty&/W&\sb\infty\sp{lcub}\rm m{rcub}&)-kW&\sp{lcub}\rm m{rcub}&. Gill areas were …
Movements And Behavior Of Wild And Head-Started Sea Turtles, John A. Keinath
Movements And Behavior Of Wild And Head-Started Sea Turtles, John A. Keinath
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Flipper-tagging, aerial surveys, and satellite telemetry was used to investigate the occurrence, migratory routes, distances traveled, swimming speeds, diving behavior, and the relation of water temperature to movements and timing of migration of wild loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) sea turtles. The behavior and movements of head-started loggerhead turtles was investigated with satellite telemetry and compared to wild turtles. Flipper-tagged loggerhead and Kemp's ridley turtles inhabit Chesapeake Bay during the warm months and many return in subsequent seasons. Aerial surveys showed that loggerhead turtles migrate from south of Cape Hatteras to northern waters during May and June, …

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
An ontogenetic series of nine species; Centrophorus granulosus, Centroscymnus coelolepis, Dalatias licha, Deania calcea, Echinorhinus cookei, Isistius brasiliensis, Oxynotus centrina and Squalus acanthias were studied to determine swimming capabilities, boundary-layer flow conditions and placoid scale functional morphologies. Body morphometric variables included the girth and the distance from snout to the orbitals, origin of the median and paired fins, and the caudal peduncle, body and fin surface area, fin aspect ratios and caudal fin angles. Placoid scales were sampled from sixteen regions across the body. Morphometric variables included the number of scales per area of integument, scale crown width, length and …
