Parasites From Gizzard Shad, Dorosoma Cepedianum, In Lake Charleston, Illinois, Francis M. Yabai Kaikumba Jan 1973

Parasites From Gizzard Shad, Dorosoma Cepedianum, In Lake Charleston, Illinois, Francis M. Yabai Kaikumba

Masters Theses

Eighty gizzard shad (Dorosoma cepedianum) from Lake Charleston, Charleston, Illinois were examined for parasites. Eight fish were parasitized. Three fish contained the acanthocephalan Tanaorhamphus longirostris, three fish harbored cestodes of the genus Glaridacris and two fish had the nematode Camallanus oxycephalus. The latter is here reported for the first time from gizzard shad. Twenty fish were infected with the fungus Saprolegnia sp. The numbers of helminth parasites harbored by shad are less than reported for other forage fish. However, the incident of parasitism reported in this study is greater than that reported by previous workers.

An Investigation Of Mining Effluent And Water Quality In The "New Lead Belt" Of Southeastern Missouri, Hong Wen Chen

Masters Theses

"A field and laboratory investigation was carried out to collect background data for stream water quality in the New Lead Belt of Southeastern Missouri. The parameters measured were temperature, hydrogen ion concentration, hardness, alkalinity, turbidity and fluorides. A prolific algal and microbial growth was found in Bee Fork Creek which receives the mining and milling wastewater effluent from the Fletcher Mine. The laboratory studies were conducted to examine the biological effects of the organic flotation reagents used in the mining operations. The studies included Gram staining of bacteria, antimicrobial effects of milling reagents, bacterial fermentation tests of sodium isopropyl xanthate …

The Problem and Its Background

The Problem

The current era is called the Space Age -- a time of phenomenal scientific progress. Accordingly, improvements in science programs at all levels of education are being urged and promoted on all sides. Federal grants are offered to motivate science teachers to improve their training; federal funds are available to aid school systems in the purchase of scientific equipment; and capable high-school and college students are urged to choose careers in the sciences.

Introduction

In discussing the basis for teaching high school biology, Van Deventer1 states, "...the present typical course in high school biology serves adequately neither the terminal student nor the college entrance student." He holds that today's courses present watered-down versions of college courses to the student before the intelligence of the student has matured enough to grasp such subject matter. As a result there is very little carry-over value from such courses, and the students may even develop a dislike for biology. This study constitutes an effort to understand these problems and to devise ways of solving …
