Developmental Taxonomy And Distribution Of Paralarval Squid From The Florida Current, Carrie Leeonne Adams
Developmental Taxonomy And Distribution Of Paralarval Squid From The Florida Current, Carrie Leeonne Adams
Theses and Dissertations
Distribution patterns of paralarval squid across the continental shelf of Florida were examined based on five years of collections. Squid occurrence patterns were described in relation to coastal, intermediate, and Florida Current (Gulf Stream) water masses by comparing horizontal and vertical distribution patterns of squid species to physical-chemical distribution patterns Twenty-six squid taxa were collected in this study. Representative taxonomic descriptions and illustrations of all taxa were produced to serve as an identification aid for the paralarval squid from the Florida shelf. Patterns of species composition among stations were analyzed with cluster analysis based on four sampling approaches. Species distribution …

Application Of A Flow-Through Absorption Tube For Remotely Estimating Water-Quality Parameters, Charles Bostater, Melissa Keller, Manuel Gimond
Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Faculty Publications
A flow through absorption tube is described and applied. The tube is similar in concept to a 50 cm pathlength cylindrical cuvette described previously by Bostater and Gimond.' The new absorption tube allows for continuous, underway measurements of water absorption signatures. Water is allowed to flow through the tube, and in this way the spectral change or track ofabsorption can be measured as a function oftime or space when operated from a stationary or moving platform. Data gathered from various environments ranging from very turbid to clear water is analyzed and described. Concentrations of chlorophyll-a, suspended matter, and dissolved organic …
