Seasonal Effects On Accumulation Of Microbial Indicator Organisms By Mercenaria Mercenaria, William Burkhardt Iii, William D. Watkins, Scott R. Rippey Jan 1992

Seasonal Effects On Accumulation Of Microbial Indicator Organisms By Mercenaria Mercenaria, William Burkhardt Iii, William D. Watkins, Scott R. Rippey

Past Departments Faculty Publications (CELS)

The ability of hard-shelled clams (Mercenaria mercenaria) to accumulate fecal coliforms and other microorganisms (Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfringens, and male-specific bacteriophages) was determined over a 1-year period. Twenty separate trails were conducted during different seasons to encompass a wide range of water temperatures. The greatest accumulation of microorganisms in hard-shelled clams occurred during certain periods in the spring, at temperatures ranging from 11.5 to 21.5°C. These periods of hyperaccumulation did not always coincide for all organisms; the accumulation of bacteriophages was not predicted by the accumulation of either fecal coliforms or C. perfringens. Bacteriophages …

Nutrient And Microbial Movement From Seasonally-Used Septic Systems, Arthur J. Gold, Frank B. Postma, George W. Loomis Jan 1992

Nutrient And Microbial Movement From Seasonally-Used Septic Systems, Arthur J. Gold, Frank B. Postma, George W. Loomis

Natural Resources Science Faculty Publications

Unanswered seasonal vacation communities present unique problems for on-site sewage disposal. Seasonal occupancy may promote the transmission of contaminants to groundwater due to incomplete formation of a biological clogging mat in the soil absorption system. Groundwater surrounding three seasonally-used septic systems was monitored to determine the movement and attenuation of nitrogen, phosphorus and two bacterial indicators of human fecal contamination, fecal coliforms and Clostridium perfringens. Nitrate-N concentrations were often three to four-fold greater than the drinking water standard at wells 6 m from the soil absorption systems. Minimal phosphorus migration occurred from these systems. Although more than 1.5 m of …


Natural Diet And Feeding Habits Of The Postlarval Lobster Homarus Americanus, Marie Antonette R. Juinio, J. Stanley Cobb Jan 1992

Natural Diet And Feeding Habits Of The Postlarval Lobster Homarus Americanus, Marie Antonette R. Juinio, J. Stanley Cobb

Past Departments Faculty Publications (CELS)

Postlarval Homarus arnericanus were collected from Block Island Sound, Rhode Island, USA, during 5 diel neuston sampling periods in summer 1988 and 1989. The foregut contents of the postlarvae were determined and compared with the relative abundances of potential prey groups in the plankton. Nine taxonomic prey groups were identified in the gut contents (N = 802). The composition of the prey groups and their relative frequencies of occurrence in the guts did not differ with time of day or sampling period. The frequent occurrence of copepods, decapod larvae, fish eggs and insect parts indicates a predominantly carnivorous feeding habit. …


Phosphatidylserine Found In Intestinal Mucus Serves As A Sole Source Of Carbon And Nitrogen For Salmonellae And Escherichia Coli, Howard C. Krivan, David P. Franklin, Wietong Wang, David C. Laux, Paul S. Cohen Jan 1992

Phosphatidylserine Found In Intestinal Mucus Serves As A Sole Source Of Carbon And Nitrogen For Salmonellae And Escherichia Coli, Howard C. Krivan, David P. Franklin, Wietong Wang, David C. Laux, Paul S. Cohen

Past Departments Faculty Publications (CELS)

Salmonella choleraesuis (a pig pathogen), Salmonella typhimurium (a virulent strain in mice), and three strains of Escherichia coli (including a human enterohemorrhagic strain, a human urinary tract isolate, and a human fecal isolate) grew as well in vitro utilizing the lipids derived from mouse cecal mucus as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen as they did in mouse crude cecal mucus. Further analysis of the total lipid extracts of mucus dialysates showed that the acidic lipid fraction supported growth nearly as well as the total lipid fraction. Interestingly, among the many purified acidic lipids from mucus which were tested …


Ribosomes Exist In Large Excess Over The Apparent Demand For Protein Synthesis During Carbon Starvation In Marine Vibrio Sp. Strain Ccug 15956, Klas Flärdh, Paul S. Cohen, Staffan Kjelleberg Jan 1992

Ribosomes Exist In Large Excess Over The Apparent Demand For Protein Synthesis During Carbon Starvation In Marine Vibrio Sp. Strain Ccug 15956, Klas Flärdh, Paul S. Cohen, Staffan Kjelleberg

Past Departments Faculty Publications (CELS)

Carbon starvation induces the development of a starvation- and stress-resistant cell state in marine Vibrio sp. strain S14 (CCUG 15956). The starved cells remain highly responsive to nutrients during prolonged starvation and exhibit instantaneous severalfold increases in the rates of protein synthesis and RNA synthesis when substrate is added. In order to elucidate the physiological basis for the survival of cells that are starved for a long time, as well as the capacity of these cells for rapid and efficient recovery, we analyzed the ribosome content of carbon-starved Vibrio sp. strain S14 cells. By using direct chemical measurements of the …

Mitigation Banking: A Potential Tool For Port Planners, Laura Kelley Jan 1992

Mitigation Banking: A Potential Tool For Port Planners, Laura Kelley

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

Mitigation banking has been used as a means of facilitating the permit process by removing the negotiation of appropriate mitigation for development from the confines of the permit process. A developer with frequent needs to mitigate for losses associated with Section 404 and Section 10 requirements may, using a mitigation bank, consolidate mitigation and in so doing, potentially reduce mitigation costs. As a result of route maintenance, as well as expansion requirements, ports were considered to be good candidates for sponsoring mitigation bank efforts. Port use of mitigation banking has not been as expected due to a lack of available …


Sea-Surface Temperature Related Fisheries And Resource Markets, Jeffrey Michael Rasinski Jan 1992

Sea-Surface Temperature Related Fisheries And Resource Markets, Jeffrey Michael Rasinski

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

This thesis addresses the potential application of sea-surface temperature (SST) data to economic resource markets. It considers the revolution in technology and the accessibility of timely, accurate SST observations for resource markets. Specifically, it addresses issues related to pelagic fisheries and the fish meal industry. The thesis presents a discussion and overview of the upwelling ecosystem of Peru and the Peruvian anchovy (Engraulis ringens) including quantitative analysis and forecasts for the fishery and fish meal prices. This analysis is used to demonstrate the commercial application and relationship between SST and related resource markets. The thesis establishes a bioeconomic statistical model …


The Potential Loss Of Coastal Open Space Due To The Utilization Of Privately Owned Wastewater Treatment Facilities: A Case Study In Gloucester, Massachusetts, Eric W. Hutchins Jan 1992

The Potential Loss Of Coastal Open Space Due To The Utilization Of Privately Owned Wastewater Treatment Facilities: A Case Study In Gloucester, Massachusetts, Eric W. Hutchins

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

The impact of privately owned sewage treatment plants, a viable alternative to on-site septic systems, is examined in regards to future land-use patterns. It was hypothesized that the use of these facilities would lead to a greater loss of open space, in the coastal City of Gloucester, Massachusetts, than if only conventional on-site septic systems were to be permitted. Constraints to development such as zoning, wetlands, soil characteristics, parcel size, and economic viability were applied to undeveloped property in Gloucester. The results were used to identify individual parcels and calculate the respective developability based on the two different scenarios. Only …


Problems Of Fisheries Management On The Patagonian Shelf: A Decade After The 1982 Falklands (Malvinas) Conflict, Gustavo A. Bisbal Jan 1992

Problems Of Fisheries Management On The Patagonian Shelf: A Decade After The 1982 Falklands (Malvinas) Conflict, Gustavo A. Bisbal

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

The armed conflict between Argentina and Britain over the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) early in 1982, resulted in a confusing partition of the maritime area around these islands. The military strategies and policies developed by both countries during and after the war created an unclear situation regarding limits and jurisdictions, thus delaying managerial actions and regulation enforcement over the fishing resources of the area. Several foreign fishing fleets operating in the region at the time, took advantage of the lack of protective legislation and recognized authority, resulting in overfishing of species such as squid and hake. No significant control was …


Rhode Island Marine Debris Pilot Project, Christina L. Beal Jan 1992

Rhode Island Marine Debris Pilot Project, Christina L. Beal

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

The Rhode Island Marine Debris Pilot Project was initiated in Newport, R.I. during the summer of 1991. The objective of the project was to decrease recreational boaters' contribution to marine debris. Two methods were used to achieve this goal. First, trash and recycling disposal facilities were increased around the harbor. Secondly, educational literature on the environmental consequences of marine debris, and the law that applies to overboard disposal, were distributed throughout the local marine community. The implementation of the pilot project led to a significant increase in the amount of debris brought ashore by boaters, and a decrease in the …
