Spiny Lobster Mariculture In The State Of Florida, W. Richard Boehmer

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the reader to the Florida spiny lobster, Panuluris argus; to show the economic potential for the mariculture of this species by exposing value and size of the U. S. spiny lobster market; to present Florida’s legal provisions for mariculture and how spiny lobster farming would be acceptable; to indicate the biological considerations for the rearing of spiny lobster larva and postlarva; and to introduce a general plan for the mariculture of spiny lobster, that considers the legal provisions of leasing wetlands in Florida and incorporates the biological considerations of spiny lobster.

Oil Pollution And The Coastal State, J. T. O'Brien

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

It will be the purpose of this paper to pose and answer this question...How has the legal competence of a coastal state been strengthened with respect to that state's ability to prevent marine oil pollution? The question by implication presupposes that a certain change in legal competence is in fact occurring. The legal and historical baseline from which to gauge this gradual change will be established by reviewing past milestones in oil pollution law. A closer examination will then be made of recent evolutionary changes in both international and national oil pollution law subsequent to the Torrey Canyon Disaster of …

Saltmarsh Ecology And Resource Protection, Gerard Desire Blais Jr.

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

A panoramic lack of conservation education has produced a populace largely unaware of the value of marshland resources or measures for their protection. In a relentless era of ecological abuse, wetlands and salt marshes rank with endangered animal species in the quantitative loss culminating in extinction. Challenged continually by the relentless sea and exploited by unsound attempts at development, management, or even conservation, the efficiency of the marshlands is decreasing with each successive invasion. There is a demonstrated reduction in biological productivity, flood control, and water quality in areas where dredging, draining, and filling of marshes has taken place.

Potential Of Pompano Mariculture In Florida, James Anthony Elias

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

Pompano mariculture is not an attempt to bridge the protein gap, but it has been initiated to provide a constant source of this highly desired marine fish. The current market for pompano is small, however, this has been attributed basically to its supply. It appears from the literature that T. carolinus has the most dominant market position since it has an excellent flavor and sports fishermen prefer it due to its fighting ability when hooked on light tackle. It appears from the published history of attempts to raise pompano, by Berry and Iversen, that one of the major problems in …

Underwater Search And Rescue For Non-Military Submersibles, Peter A. Joseph

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

A system of underwater search and rescue for non-military submersibles utilizing a helicopter delivered rescue submersible is proposed. In the last 10 years there has been a substantial increase in manned underwater endeavors. This expansion is expected to continue with increasingly greater emphasis in the recreational field. The necessity to overcome the relatively short iife support of the small recreation submersible dictates a rapid response. This system should be capable of providing the lift necessary to rescue the entrapped personnel by bringing the submersible to the surface. At the present time the Coast Guard must rely on other submersible operators …

Obstacles To Economic Progress In Ethiopia's Red Sea Coast And Gulf Of Aden, Abraham Alemayehu

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

Ethiopia is a coastal state whose overall economic progress has been and still is being affected by a number of coastal and related obstacles. This paper will attempt to discuss each and every one of these obstacles and other relevant aspects in order to justify as much as possible Ethiopia's lack of progress in economic development. By no means these are not the only obstacles responsible for affecting the country's entire economic progress. The obstacles that I would like to present here are only those which are more or less directly related to maritime, geographical and geopolitical problems on the …

Fear Reduction Under Avoidance Blocking, Donald Spring

Open Access Master's Theses

Forty-one rats were given ten minutes of exposure to the alley runway apparatus. Eleven subjects were placed in a non-shocked control group. Thirty-one subjects were trained to make an avoidance response in the alley to a criterion. Nineteen rats were divided into two experimental groups depending on their behavior demonstrated under twenty-five minutes of response blocking. Subjects demonstrating relaxed types of behavior were placed in the relaxed group, Subjects not demonstrating relaxed behavior were assigned to the nonrelaxed group. Eight avoidance trained subjects were put in a shocked control group and were not blocked. Later exposure to the apparatus demonstrated …

The Effects Of Auditory And Shock Stimulation Experienced In Infancy On Subsequent Emotionality And Learning In The Rate, Arnold Charles Small

Open Access Master's Theses

In this study, 79 young rats were exposed to different types of infantile stimulation in order to determine the effects of stimulation of different sensory modalities on emotionality and learning. Between the eleventh and twentieth days of life, the subjects received either a 25 volt A.C. shock, 75 decibels of white noise (aversive auditory stimulation), or 45 decibels of white noise (nonaversive auditory stimulation). One group was handled (handled control) and another group was l eft alone (nonhandled control). The hypothesis tested was that the different types of stimulation would lead to a reduction of emotionality and an increase in …

Pollution In Penobscot And Narragansett Bays: Its Advance And Effects On The Maine And Rhode Island Shellfish Industry, Michael James Chambers

Open Access Master's Theses

This study investigates two New England estuaries of similar configuration. Population density, type of industrial activity, degree of sewage treatment, and species of shellfish are found to be important factors in the present degradation of these bays. Unless a minimum of secondary sewage treatment is practiced in Penobscot Bay, depuration is the only economical way of utilizing future soft-shell clam stocks. In Narragansett Bay the options are greater. Because of the water temperature and the availability of clean water, among other criteria, aquaculture, depuration, transplanting, and quahog seed hatcheries may be utilized. However, the bypasses in the Providence Sewage Treatment …

Glyoxal And Estradiol Mediated Alterations In Rat Uterine Histone Acetylation, Robert Louis Procaccini

Open Access Dissertations

The immature rat uterus was developed as a model in which to measure alterations in his tone acetylation in a target organ following hormonal stimulation. The effect of various glyoxal derivatives on his tone acetylation and several other parameters was measured in the uterine tissue of untreated and estradiol treated animals. Six day treatment with glyoxal monohydrate and methylglyoxal-bis-guanyl-hydrazone (Methyl-GAG) decreased uterine wet weight and partially blocked estradiol mediated alterations in uterine wet weight in animals receiving concomitant estradiol and glyoxal treatment.

The dose dependent in vitro inhibition of uterine histone acetylation is thought to occur through direct action on …

Pargyline, Succinic Acid And L-Ascorbic Acid As Protective Agents Against Hyperbaric Oxygen Toxicity: Possible Involvement Of Altered Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid And Ammonia Metabolism, Robert Alfred Schatz

Open Access Dissertations

The mechanisms whereby pargyline, succinic acid and absorbic acid protect against hyperbaric oxygen convulsions, pulmonary damage and mortality following hyperbaric oxygen exposure were investigated in relation to the effects of these agents on hyperbaric oxygen-induced alterations in brain gamma-aminobutyric acid and ammonia metabolism.

Exposure to hyperbaric oxygen (60 pounds per square inch, gauge pressure) produced convulsions, post-exposure lethality and elevation in lung weight, lung water content and lung hemoglobin content. Pargyline, succinic acid and ascorbic acid provided partial production against all of the above aspects of toxicity.

Comparison of the doses of pargyline, succinic acid and ascorbic acid that provided …
