Size, Development Of Pigment, Upstream Migration, And Relative Abundance Of Young American Eels, Anguilla Rostrata In A Coastal Rhode Island Stream, Alexander J. Haro Jan 1985

Size, Development Of Pigment, Upstream Migration, And Relative Abundance Of Young American Eels, Anguilla Rostrata In A Coastal Rhode Island Stream, Alexander J. Haro

Open Access Master's Theses

Progressive epidermal pigmentation of Anguilla rostrata elvers in a coastal Rhode Island stream was essentially identical to that described for A. anguilla, and proceeded rapidly in freshwater. Earlier arriving elvers averaged larger than those arriving later in the season, paralleling studies of European elvers. Mean total lengths of elvers collected in 1984 were significantly greater than those for 1983 and are the largest recorded for the Western North Atlantic. These differences may be due to sampling technique. Migration of elvers into freshwater may be induced by decreasing flow rates and/or increasing stream temperatures. The relatively slow upstream migration of …


Ixtoc I: Case Study Of A Major Oil Spill, Peter G. Myer Apr 1984

Ixtoc I: Case Study Of A Major Oil Spill, Peter G. Myer

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

The most disastrous oil spill the western hemisphere has ever witnessed occurred during the 10 months between June 1979 and March 1980, when the experimental well IXTOC I blew out off the coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. The disaster's effects on South Texas virtually destroyed a year's earnings for the region's tourism industry and cut into the profits of many commercial fishermen. The activities at the well that caused the blowout and subsequent spill, the effects of the oil on Texas' Gulf Coast, and the legal attempts to recover against losses suffered as a result of the spill will be …

The Effects Of Cis-Chlordane And Dieldrin On The Short Food Chain: Artemia To Winter Flounder, Scott Mclean Jan 1980

The Effects Of Cis-Chlordane And Dieldrin On The Short Food Chain: Artemia To Winter Flounder, Scott Mclean

Open Access Master's Theses

Live Artemis sp. nauplii were contaminated with the pesticides cis-chlordane and dieldrin singly and in combination at two concentrations. The bioconcentration factors were 88.29 ± 13.09 and 128.03 ± 24.78, for cis-chlordane and dieldrin, respectively. Winter flounder, Pseudopleuronectes americanus, post-larvae, fed the contaminated nauplii accumulated the pesticides. The resulting bioaccumulation factors were 0.67 ± 0.33 for cis-chlordane and 0.38 ± 0.16 dieldrin. Metabolism of cis-chlordane by the Artemia sp. is indicated by the presence of oxychlordane. However, metabolism of dieldrin in the Artemia sp. is not clearly implied. Cis-chlordane was only metabolized in the winter flounder …

A Two Depth Averaged Numerical Temperature Model Of Narragansett Bay, John J. Alfano Jan 1973

A Two Depth Averaged Numerical Temperature Model Of Narragansett Bay, John J. Alfano

Open Access Master's Theses

The numerical temperature model proposed in this thesis approximates the temperature distributions produced by natural or man made conditions in Narragansett Bay. The model approximates the temperature distribution by averaging the vertical structure over depth. A two dimensional, planar coordinate system continuously specifies the temperatures within the bay. A hydrodynamic model calculates the necessary velocities and depths required by the thermal model. The combined thermal-hydraulic model calculates r bottom roughness, Coriolis acceleration, non-linear convective terms, astronomical tidal series for Rhode Island Sound, and air-water heat exchange. Known river flow inputs are used as boundary conditions. To simplify the model geometry …
