Distribution, Growth, Selective Feeding, And Energy Transformations Of Young-Of-The-Year Blueback Herring, Alosa Aestivalis (Mitchill), In The James River, Virginia, Richard Greig Burbidge Jan 1972

Distribution, Growth, Selective Feeding, And Energy Transformations Of Young-Of-The-Year Blueback Herring, Alosa Aestivalis (Mitchill), In The James River, Virginia, Richard Greig Burbidge

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Energy transformations and budget are computers for young-of-the-year blueback herring, Alosa aestivalis, in the James River, Virginia. Distribution, growth, and selective feeding are described. Fish and zooplankton collections were made at five stations in the main channel of the James RIver from June through November 1969. Two 24hr series of samples were collected in July and October 1968 in the Potomac River. A direct relationship existed between standing cropos of zooplankton and distribution, growth, and feeding of blueback herring. Zooplankton densities were highest upstream, where food consumption and growth rates were correspondingly highest. A progressive downstream decrease and upstream increase …


Acute Toxicity Of Unbleached Kraft Mill Effluent (Ukme) To The Oppossum Shrimp, Neomysis Americana Smith, Fred Jacobs Jan 1972

Acute Toxicity Of Unbleached Kraft Mill Effluent (Ukme) To The Oppossum Shrimp, Neomysis Americana Smith, Fred Jacobs

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

96-hour TL50 values of unbleached kraft mill effluent (UKME) for Neornysis arnericana were found to range from concentrations of 3.29 to 6.85% at 26-28 C and 3.90 to 7.30% at 16-18 C. Differences between batches of effluent proved insignificant in experiments at each temperature regime. Furthermore, UKME did not lose its toxicity, when stored for 5 to 7 days at 4 C. A concentration of 20% effluent killed 100% of the organisms in 8 of the 12 bioassays. Slope functions and confidence limits of TL50 were calculated. This dissertation is from the Joint Program Degree from the College of William …


The Reproductive Cycle And Larval Tolerances Of Rangia Cuneata In The James River, Virginia, Thomas David Cain Jan 1972

The Reproductive Cycle And Larval Tolerances Of Rangia Cuneata In The James River, Virginia, Thomas David Cain

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

The autecology of the brackish water clam Rangia cuneata was investigated in the James River, Virginia, from February 1970 to January 1972. The reproductive cycle, combined salinity and temperature effects on embryos and larvae, and setting were studied. Histological slides were made, set collected, and temperature and salinity measurements taken from three populations living in different salinity regimes. Phases of gonad development are described. Gametogenesis started in April and from May through September clams were found in all gonadal phases. Ripe gonads were found from May to late November with no summer or inactive period. It was determined by the …

Vertical Distribution Of Estuarine Phytoplankton In The Surface Microlayer And At One Meter, And Fluctuations In Abundance Caused By Surface Adsorption Of Monomolecular Films, Victoria R. Gibson Jan 1971

Vertical Distribution Of Estuarine Phytoplankton In The Surface Microlayer And At One Meter, And Fluctuations In Abundance Caused By Surface Adsorption Of Monomolecular Films, Victoria R. Gibson

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

A quantitative comparison of the phytoplankton in the surface microlayer of an estuary and that a depth of one meter was made using a Garrett-type screen and a Frautschy bottle for sample collection. Results showed that the surface microlayer contained a significantly greater number of phytoplankton cells than the water at one meter. Species diversity at the surface tended to be somewhat lower than one meter, due to a greater number of individuals of the dominant species. Investigation revealed that the presence of a monomolecular film of slick material absorbed onto the water surface resulted in a decrease in the …

Effects Of Thermal Shock On Larvae Of The Oyster, Crassostrea Virginica (Gmelin), Robert J. Diaz Jan 1971

Effects Of Thermal Shock On Larvae Of The Oyster, Crassostrea Virginica (Gmelin), Robert J. Diaz

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Larvae of the American oyster Crassostrea virginica (Gmelin) were subjected to thermal shocks of varying magnitude at different larval ages. The effects were assessed in terms of mortality, growth, and setting success. Growth of larvae acclimated at 25 C and 20% salinity was not affected by a thermal shock of 10 C or 15 C, but a 20 C thermal shock had detrimental effect on growth. Mortality of oyster larvae increased significantly following thermal chocks of 10, 15, and 20 C, and was higher for older than for younger larvae. Setting rates of the control and 10 C shocked larvae …


The Feeding Of Cornstarch To Clams And Mussels, Kathleen Rapier Harleston Jan 1971

The Feeding Of Cornstarch To Clams And Mussels, Kathleen Rapier Harleston

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Three concentrations of cornstarch, 0 . 6 ppm, l.l ppm, 4.0 ppm, were fed to clams and mussels during the spring, summer, and fall of 1970 . Parameters measured were shell length, shell thickness, total weight, wet meat weight, and percentage glycogen based on wet meat weight. Starch had no effect on size parameters but did influence glycogen content of meats . Mussels showed an increase of glycogen in all three seasons . Clams showed an increase only in the fall. This dissertation is from the Joint Program Degree from the College of William & Mary and University of Virginia …

The Effects Of Thermal Shock And Chlorine On The Estuarine Copepod Acartia Tonsa, David Michael Dressel Jan 1971

The Effects Of Thermal Shock And Chlorine On The Estuarine Copepod Acartia Tonsa, David Michael Dressel

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Acute bioassays were conducted to determine the effects of thermal shock and chlorine exposure on the estuarine copepod Acartia tonsa. Laboratory conditions simulated power plant conditions using 8 C elevated temperatures and slug chlorination. A factorial design having temperatures at two levels and multiple chlorine additions, showed isolated effects of temperature and chlorine and their interaction. Adult Acartia tonsa withstood thermal shocks of 8 C above ambient summer temperatures of 20 to 25 C. No adverse effects were noted after 96 hours following an 8 ⃤ T over 5 seconds, holding at the elevated temperature for 5 minutes, and slowly …


Age, Growth, And Mortality Of The White Perch, Morone Americana (Gmelin), In The James And York Rivers, Virginia, Richard Alan St. Pierre Jan 1971

Age, Growth, And Mortality Of The White Perch, Morone Americana (Gmelin), In The James And York Rivers, Virginia, Richard Alan St. Pierre

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

More than 750 white perch, Morone americana, were collected from each of two major tributaries of southern Chesapeake Bay to compare the age structures, growth rates, and mortality rates of the two populations.The James River is characterized by heavy domestic and industrial pollution, whereas the York River is only slightly polluted. Maximum ages determined by scale analysis were 7 and 10 years for males and females respectively in each river. Males and females from the James River were larger than those from the York up to ages IV and V, respectively. Older fish were larger in the York . Females …
