Factors Influencing The Degree Of Saturation Of The Surface And Intermediate Waters Of The North Pacific Ocean With Respect To Aragonite, Richard A. Feely, Robert H. Byrne, Peter R. Betzer, James F. Gendron, James G. Acker

Marine Science Faculty Publications

New carbonate chemistry data obtained during a 1982 cruise have been combined with earlier GE‐OSECS and INDOPAC data to determine the degree of aragonite saturation of surface and intermediate waters of the North Pacific. Large gradients in saturation state occur in the region of the Subarctic Front in the north‐south direction and across the Subtropical Gyre in the east‐west direction. These gradients are primarily due to the extensive mixing that occurs in the intermediate waters of the western North Pacific. The major variations in saturation state were primarily related to the carbonate ion concentration, which, in turn, is primarily a …

The Effects Of X-Irradiation On The Metamorphosis And Budding Of Aurelia Aurita, Michael John Prokopchak

OES Theses and Dissertations

With the aid of the Aurelia Metamorphosis Test System, the acute or subtle morphological and behavioral effects of irradiation on the Norfolk Aurelia aurita were described and the sensitivity to X-irradiation of those organisms receiving thyroxine and those not receiving thyroxine was compared. Levels of radiation were 0 (control), 5,000, 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 and 40,000 rads. Morphology of the ephyrae, statolith and rhopalia numbers were recorded using the light microscope, Developmental abnormalities of the scyphistomae and ephyrae were recorded with the scanning electron microscope and light microscope. Two major findings from this investigation were the absence of rhopalia and statoliths …

Winds Over Water: A Bibliography, Janet M. Witte

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Reports

This bibliography was compiled as an outgrowth of the Satellite Surface Stress (S3) Working Group, which was sponsored by NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center and NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) from the fall of 1982 to the spring of 1984 (Contracts NAS5-26714 and 956773). I wish to thank the Working Group Chairman, Dr. James J. O'Brien, for providing me with the impetus to compile this work. I also wish to thank the other members of the Working Group for adding their moral support (as well as many of the references).

The Spatial And Temporal Distribution Of The Larvae Of Sympatric Pagurid Hermit Crabs (Decapoda, Anomura) In Virginian Estaurine And Coastal Waters, Philip Wesley Sadler

OES Theses and Dissertations

Thirteen stations were occupied at two - week intervals from May through September 1980 within the York River, lower Chesapeake Bay depths encompassing the entire water column.

Three species of pagurids were identified: Pagurus longicarpus, P. pollicaris, and P. annulipes. The larvae of P. annulipes had not been previously identified from Virginian waters. The shapes of the antennae of P. pollicaris and P. annulipes weredistinctive, allowing rapid identification of these larvae. The shapes of the uropods were found to be useful in distinguishingthe glaucothoe· of P. longicarpus from P. annulipes. The larvae of these species …

Echinaster Graminicola, A New Species Of Spinulosid Sea Star (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) From The West Coast Of Florida, David B. Campbell, Richard L. Turner

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

A new species of the sea-star genus Echinaster is described from shallow-water seagrass and oyster beds of the west coast of Florida. The new speciesand E. spinulosus Verrill are sibling species, morphologically distinguished only by spination and differences in the secondary skeleton. The two species also differ in coloration and in many physiological, reproductive, and ecological characteristics.

A Molecular Phylogeny Of The Grunts (Perciformes: Haemulidae) Inferred From Nuclear Rag1 Gene Sequences, Millicent D. Sanciangco

Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations

Species and genera of Haemulidae have undergone various taxonomic revisions, however, there is no study that infers the phylogeny of the haemulid genera using morphological or molecular data. The purpose of this study was to use approximately 1386 base pairs of the nuclear Recombination Activation Gene-I (RAG1) from 35 haemulid species representing 13 genera, one species of the closely related Inermiidae, and two species of the outgroup Sparidae to infer an intrafamilial phylogeny of Haemulidae. This analysis is corroborated using approximately 650 base pairs of the mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI) gene and RAG I-COI combined gene analyses of27 haemulids, …

Timing Of The Blue Crab Fisheries Of Virginia And Its Application To Harvest Management, J. Dale Shively

OES Theses and Dissertations

The timing of a fishery is a quantitative expression of the composite behaviors of harvesters, markets, animals and climatic events. A quantitative description of the timing of the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) fisheries of Virginia was established using the time density model of Mundy (1979). Blue crab catch statistics supplied by the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Virginia Marine Resource Commission were divided into two fisheries based on gear type; the summer and winter fisheries. Average performance curves were then constructed using average cumulative proportions of catch. Annual yield estimates were also made and timing in five …

Skeletal Extension, Density And Calcification Of The Reef Coral, Montastrea Annularis: St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, Richard E. Dodge, Garrett W. Brass

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles

Parameters of the annual and subannual skeletal growth of 61 Montastrea annularis corals, collected at a variety of shallow depth sites on reefs of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, are determined by X-radiography and scanning densitometry for each year in the 10-year period, 1970–1979. Extension (linear growth) of the coral skeleton is correlated negatively with bulk density (mass per unit volume) and positively with calcification (mass addition). Density and mass are slightly positively correlated. No one parameter, however, is a perfect predictor of another. At least two parameters, from which the third can be calculated, are required for complete description …

A Survey Of Larval Caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera) From Riffles Of Three Streams Of The Drake's Creek Drainage, Kentucky, With A Preliminary Investigation Of The Adult Trichoptera Of The Region, Michael Beiser

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

A total of 1665 larval caddisflies, representing four families and eight genera, was collected from seven stations in the Drake's Creek drainage from 1 November, 1982 through 15 October, 1983. The pattern of longitudinal distribution of the larvae, based on feeding relationships, in the West and Middle Forks of the system was consistent with studies by Wiggins and Mackay (1978), Andrews and Minshall (1979), and Ross and Wallace (1982) and the River Continuum Concept (Vannote et al. 1980). The Trammel Fork, a spring fed stream, showed a pattern of distribution contrary to the predictions of the Concept, suggesting that the …

The Development Of Anatomical Features In Larval Fish In Conjunction With The Onset Of Exogenous Feeding, Irene Kokkala

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Observations were made on the appearance and development of anatomical features such as neural receptors (free neuromasts and taste buds), lateral line canals and bone elements of the mandibular and hyoid regions of the skull associated with the larval stages of the spotted bass (Micropterus punctulatus) and northern hog sucker (Hypentelium nigricans). The results were related to known feeding habits and habitat selection.

Free neuromast development and appearance of the lateral line canal system in the spotted bass preceded that of the northern hog sucker. This accelerated development of the spotted bass was related to earlier …

Two New Species Of The Siphonoecetes Complex From The Arabian Gulf And Borneo (Crustacea: Amphipoda), J. L. Barnard, James Darwin Thomas

A new species, Siphonoecetes arabicus, is described from the Arabian Gulf, and a new species B. wongi is described in the new genus Borneoecetes from Borneo. The former species does not fit recently described subgenera, thus indicating a necessary reassessment of those taxa.
