Histological Study Of Liver On Channel Catfish, Ictalurus Punctatus, Leland F. Morgans Jan 1972

Histological Study Of Liver On Channel Catfish, Ictalurus Punctatus, Leland F. Morgans

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Histologically the liver of the channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, was found to consist of many lobules. Though not surrounded by a connective tissue sheath as they are in some animals, the lobules were discernable because all the hepatic cells in a particular area radiated from a central vein. Portal triads were scattered throughout the liver. The lobule tissue consisted of radiating cords of cells alternating with sinusoids. Glycogen was condensed into large vacuoles within these cells. Pancreatic tissue was found in the liver, always surrounding a capillary or venule. Morphologically the pancreatic cells were exocrine. Functionally, however, they may be …

Impoundment Effects On Water Quality As Reflected In Parasitism Of Reservoir Basses, David A. Becker Jan 1971

Impoundment Effects On Water Quality As Reflected In Parasitism Of Reservoir Basses, David A. Becker

Arkansas Water Resources Center Technical Reports

Our aquatic environments are rapidly becoming useless as natural resources through pollution from various sources. It is therefore necessary for us to further understand the various means which relate to this process. The interrelationships between the physico-chemical and biological water qualities undergo marked changes during the ageing of a reservoir. Eutrophication of these impoundments render them rela-tively useless as natural resources. It thus becomes apparent that we must gain further knowledge of these processes if we are to devise methods for proper reservoir management.

Studies Of Arundinaria: Experimental Induction Of Flowering And Additional Observation In The Field, Daniel L. Marsh Jan 1971

Studies Of Arundinaria: Experimental Induction Of Flowering And Additional Observation In The Field, Daniel L. Marsh

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Arundinaria has been observed for three successive seasons at a site near Amity, Arkansas. In advance of the 1971 flowering period rhizomes were taken from the field, pruned, and placed either in an environmental chamber or in the greenhouse in water or in sandy soil. Flowering occurred under each condition, but was most rapid and profuse in transplants growing in sandy soil in the greenhouse. Observations point to the possibility of induction of flowering or to the possible existence of an annually flowering race. Possible economic uses are considered.

Notes On The Algae Of Arkansas. 1. Chrysococcus, Kephyrion, Kephyriopsis, Pseudokephyrion And Stenokalyx, Richard L. Meyer Jan 1971

Notes On The Algae Of Arkansas. 1. Chrysococcus, Kephyrion, Kephyriopsis, Pseudokephyrion And Stenokalyx, Richard L. Meyer

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

The genera Chrysococcus, Kephyrion, Pseudokephyrion and Stonokalyx have received some consideration by investigators in Europe and in the boreal forest and tundra-range regions of the United States. Many of the species are considered to be cold-water stenotherms, thus occurring more frequently in northern habitats. In the present paper 4 species of Chrysococcus, 4 species of Kephyroin, 2 species of Pseudokephyrion and 2 species of Stenokalyx from Arkansas are discussed.

Effects Of Urethan On Fish Epithelial And Fibroblast Cells In Vitro, Leland F. Morgans Jan 1971

Effects Of Urethan On Fish Epithelial And Fibroblast Cells In Vitro, Leland F. Morgans

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

The effects of urethan on RTG-2 and FHM cells were studied in vitro, by using the mitotic index, it was determined that 0.3 percent urethan caused an increase in the rate of cell division while higher concentrations (0.6, 0.9, 1.2, and 1.5 percent) caused either a decrease in the rate or a cessation of cell division. Concentrations of urethan higher than 1.5 percent killed the cells. The mitotic index data also indicated that epithelial cells continued to divide at a higher concentration of urethan than did the fibroblast cells. The morphological effects of urethan on the two cell lines were …

Pre-Impoundment Limnological Study Of The Strawberry River In Northeastern Arkansas, Henry W. Robison, George L. Harp Jan 1971

Pre-Impoundment Limnological Study Of The Strawberry River In Northeastern Arkansas, Henry W. Robison, George L. Harp

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

A study of pre-impoundment limnological characteristics of the Strawberry River was made from August, 1967 to June, 1968. Two collecting stations were established, one upstream which would not be inundated and a lower station which would be inundated when impoundment was complete. The Strawberry River was characterized by high alkalinity and pH, low carbon dioxide and turbidity, and adequate oxygen values. Plankton was characterized by limited numbers of Staurastrum, Gomphonema, and Rotatoria. Pool-riffle communities were ill-defined. Chironomidae, Oligochaeta and Ephemeroptera were dominant pool macroinvertebrates among 13 taxa collected. Of the 20 taxa collected in riffles Trichoptera, Ephemeroptera, Simuliidae and Chironomidae …

Ichthyofaunal Diversification And Distribution In The Big Creek Watershed, Craighead And Greene Counties, Arkansas, James T. Jenkins, George L. Harp Jan 1971

Ichthyofaunal Diversification And Distribution In The Big Creek Watershed, Craighead And Greene Counties, Arkansas, James T. Jenkins, George L. Harp

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Big Creek is a relatively small deltaic stream, in northeastern Arkansas, in an area of intense cultivation. Recently it has been dredged in the interest of flood control. Lost Creek and Mud Creek are the major tributaries of Big Creek and collectively drain the Big Creek watershed. The streams were found to have relatively low alkalinity, moderate carbon dioxide, adequate oxygen values, and relatively high turbidity. Channeling of Big Creek and Lost Creek has effectively destroyed distinct pool-riffle biocies and reduced the number of acceptable spawning areas. Lost Creek, also, receives effluent from residential dwellings, a secondary treatment sewage plant, …

Effect Of Domestic Effluent On Two Spring Surveys Of Fishes In Lost Creek, Craighead County, Arkansas, John K. Beadles Jan 1970

Effect Of Domestic Effluent On Two Spring Surveys Of Fishes In Lost Creek, Craighead County, Arkansas, John K. Beadles

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Lost Creek is representative of deltonic streams of the St. Francis Basin possessing characteristics of being turbid. It has a low flow velocity except during the annual spring rains. Lost Creek meanders approximately 18 km. before receiving effluents and empties into Big Creek approximately 4 km. west of Jonesboro, Arkansas. Five collecting stations were studied in 1966 while six stations were sampled in 1970. Some fishes have been found to tolerate moderate amounts of domestic effluents and it is probable that the two species Lepomis cyanellus and Ictalurus melas, collected within the effluents, were more resistant than the other species …
