The Effects Of Daily Fluctuating Temperatures And Dimethylnaphthalene Contaminated Food On The Estuarine Grass Shrimp, Palaemonetes Pugio, Thomas Mitchell Dillon

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

The physiological effects of a natural perturbation (fluctuating. temperatures) and a petroleum-induced perturbation. (dimethylnaphthalene-contaminated food) on the grass shrimp. Palaemonetes pugio were compared. The resistance of shrimp to. environmental challenge, oxygen consumption rates (Vo(,2)) and(' ). several physiological indices of stress were determined after a 32. day exposure to fluctuating temperatures (FT) (18-22�C) and/or dimethylnaphthalene (DMN)-contaminated food (0.24 (mu)g DMN/g wet wt) and again after a 16 day recovery period of stable temperatures (20�C) and uncontaminated food. Both FT and DMN-contaminated food reduced survival to the challenge of hypoxia + reduced salinity. FT were quantitatively more stressful than either stable …

The Feeding Ecology And Trophic Role Of The Northern Pipefish, Syngnathus Fuscus, In A Lower Chesapeake Bay Seagrass Community, Clifford H. Ryer

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

The purpose of this study is to examine the feeding ecology and trophic role/importance of the northern pipefish, Syngnathus fuscus, in a lower Chesapeake Bay seagrass community.

The study incorporates; 1) examination of stomach contents in conjunction with prey abundance data, inorder to arrive at conclusions concerning the food preferences of S· fuscus, 2) determination of daily feeding periodicities and stomach evacuation parameters, thus allowing for the determination of a daily ration for S· fuscus, 3) examination of size relationships between S. fuscus and it's major prey species, 4) estimation of pipefish densities at the study site, and 5) examination …
