This book was released on 1984 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to characterize the phytoplankton and their seasonal patterns of development in the lower Chesapeake Bay, in an adjacent river estuary, and at a station in shelf waters near the Bay entrance. The river estuary is Hampton Roads, through which the James, Elizabeth, Lafayette, and Nansemond Rivers join to enter the lower Chesapeake Bay. Many of the earlier studies stressed the net phytoplankton, where diatoms and dinoflagellates characterized seasonal peaks, which commonly occurred during spring and fall, and to a lesser degree in summer. However, the significance of the nanoplankton component to productivity and total cell concentrations was later emphasized. Further comments on the phytoplankton composition of Chesapeake Bay plume were given by Marshall (1982), who noted seasonal differences were distinct enough to characterize the plume in its early movement on the continental shelf. The phytoplankton composition of the lower Chesapeake Bay consisted of a diverse assemblage of 243 species. The major seasonal growth periods were dominated by a diatomaceous flora and a picoplankton complex composed mainly of cyanophytes and chlorophytes.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coastal waters south of the Chesapeake Bay entrance contain a diverse assemblage of phytoplankters, dominated by net and nanoplankton components. Two major growth periods occur in later winter-spring and fall, and coincide with rising and decreasing water temperatures and changes in available light, rainfall, salinities, among other factors. The purpose of this study was to provide a seasonal profile of the phytoplankton composition from this coastal region where there is a diverse representation of estuarine and shelf populations.

Download or read book Primary Productivity in the Chesapeake Bay During the Summer of 1964 written by W. Rowland Taylor and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primary production by the phytoplankton of the upper Chesapeake Bay averaged about 1.5 to 3.5 Cm-2 day Cm-1 during the summer of 1964. Production in the tributaries was generally less than the open bay. This level of primary productivity is about the same as has been noted for other estuaries during summer months. On an annual basis, the production would be higher since the spring bloom phenomenon was not included in these measurements. The technique was evaluated by a series of rate measurements and a precision estimate. The precision of the method was estimated at about 20%. An endogenous physiological diurnal rhythm was noted but variations in photosynthetic capacity during the time of day that measurements were made was only about 25%. The ecological significance of these observations is discussed. (Author).

Download or read book Zooplankton of the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts written by William S. Johnson and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beautifully illustrated, this is the only identification guide to zooplankton of the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. Zooplankton are critical to the vitality of estuaries and coastal waters. In this revised edition of Johnson and Allen's instant classic, readers are taken on a tour of the miniature universe of zooplankton, including early developmental stages of familiar and diverse shrimps, crabs, and fishes. Zooplankton of the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts details the behavior, morphology, and coloration of these tiny aquatic animals. Precise descriptions and labeled illustrations of hundreds of the most commonly encountered species provide readers with the best source available for identifying zooplankton. Inside the second edition • an updated introduction that orients readers to the diversity, habitats, environmental responses, collection, history, and ecological roles of zooplankton • descriptions of life cycles • illustrations (including 88 new drawings) that identify 340-plus taxa and life stages • range, habits, and ecology for each entry located directly opposite the illustration • appendices with information on collection and observation techniques and citations of more than 1,300 scientific articles and books

This book was released on 1962 with total page 860 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A continuing, comprehensive and timely survey of the state of knowledge of ocean science, this distinguished series provides an overview of research frontiers as ocean science progresses. Areas covered include physical, biological, and chemical oceanography, marine geology, and geophysics and the interactions of the oceans with the atmosphere, the solid earth, and ice. Because ocean science is evolving so rapidly, straining the boundaries of traditional sub-disciplines, interdisciplinary topics have a special place in this series--including those topics related to the application of ocean science, for example, to ocean technology, marine operations, and the resources of the sea. As a treatise on advances and new developments, each topical volume starts with fundamentals and covers recent progress, so as to provide a balanced account of how oceanography is evolving. Previous volumes (1-12) in the series are now available from Harvard University Press. In the manifold, multidisciplinary efforts of.
