Water Quality Model Of York River, Virginia, Paul V. Hyer Nov 1977

Water Quality Model Of York River, Virginia, Paul V. Hyer

Reports

A ten-component time·-dependent Phytoplankton Ecosystem model was calibrated and verified for the York Estuary. Since the York is both wide and deep and is characterized by low dissolved oxygen levels in the deeper layer, this model has two layers and three compartments laterally per layer. The calibrated and verified model is suitable for use in studying water quality in the York, such as the.development of waste load allocations.

Description Of The Larval Development Of Squilla Empusa Say (Crustacea Stomatopoda) With Aspects Of Larval Ecology In Chesapeake Bay, Steven Gaines Morgan Oct 1977

Description Of The Larval Development Of Squilla Empusa Say (Crustacea Stomatopoda) With Aspects Of Larval Ecology In Chesapeake Bay, Steven Gaines Morgan

OES Theses and Dissertations

Larvae of Sguilla empusa were collected from the plankton and were reared in the laboratory to describe the pelagic larval development and the postlarval stage. Nine pelagic stages are passed through before the postlarval stage is attained.

The larvae reared for descriptive purposes were subjected to sixteen combinations of temperature and salinity to determine their tolerance to the two parameters. Larvae survived longer and molted more frequently when reared at 25°/oo and 20°C or 25°C, which corresponds to the natural conditions of the Chesapeake Bay when the larvae were collected.

A three year planktonic survey conducted in the lower region …

Seasonal Abundance & Diversity Of Fishes At Three Stations On The Middle Fork Of Drake's Creek, Warren & Allen Counties, Kentucky, David Bell Aug 1977

Seasonal Abundance & Diversity Of Fishes At Three Stations On The Middle Fork Of Drake's Creek, Warren & Allen Counties, Kentucky, David Bell

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

A total of 7,485 fish, representing 49 species, 25 genera, and 11 families, were electroshocked from three stations on the Middle Fork of Drake's Creek during the period January, 1972 through January, 1973. Community structure was influenced by seasonal changes in both numbers of species and numbers of individuals. The number of species per collection was at its highest, at all stations, during the month of September. The total number of species and individuals collected at each station progressively increased toward the upstream areas. Eleven of the forty-nine species collected during the course of the study provided 91.8% of the …


Neotanais Persephone, A New Species Of Hadal Tanaidacean (Crustacea: Peracarida), Charles G. Messing Jul 1977

Neotanais Persephone, A New Species Of Hadal Tanaidacean (Crustacea: Peracarida), Charles G. Messing

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles

Neotanais persephone, a new species of tanaidacean and the first reported from the Puerto Rico Trench, is described and figured. The material represents the greatest depth record for the order from the Atlantic Ocean and for the genus worldwide. The species is placed within the americanus group of species and is most similar to N. hadalis Wolff. Rudimentary oostegites are present on several copulatory males.


The Effects Of Temperature And Salinity On The Larval Development Of The Grass Shrimp, Palaemonetes Pugio Holthuis Reared In The Laboratory, William Ray Floyd Iii Jul 1977

The Effects Of Temperature And Salinity On The Larval Development Of The Grass Shrimp, Palaemonetes Pugio Holthuis Reared In The Laboratory, William Ray Floyd Iii

OES Theses and Dissertations

Palaemonetes pugio larvae, obtained by induced breeding of adults collected in the late fall of 1975 from the Lafayette River, Norfolk, Virginia, were reared in the laboratory using a six temperature by seven salinity factorial design in order to determine the effects of these factors on larval development. Test conditions involved temperature levels ranging from 10°C to 32.5°C and salinity levels from 5°/oo to 35°/oo. At each temperature-salinity condition, 36 larvae were reared individually in 25 ml of artificial seawater containing 25 mg/kg of polyethylene oxide. Food consisted of Artemia nauplii at a concentration of 30/ml of culture water. From …


Contributions To The Reproductive Biology And Natural History Of The Pirateperch, Aphredoderus Sayanus, Edward O. Murdy Jul 1977

Contributions To The Reproductive Biology And Natural History Of The Pirateperch, Aphredoderus Sayanus, Edward O. Murdy

Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to describe the micro and macro-anatomy of the reproductive system and the testicular and ovarian development in Aphredoderus sayanus.

Specimens were collected at least once a month from September, 1976, through May, 1977, in Cypress Pond, a part of the Dismal Swamp drainage, outside of Suffolk, Virginia. Forty-three specimens had their gonads examined histologically, of these 13 were males, 29 were females and in one specimen the sex was not determinable.

Aphredoderus sayanus is a spring spawner, spent gonads were found on and after April 13, 1977. Gonads began to ripen in the …
