Atlantic salmon smolts are more responsive to an acute handling and confinement stress than parr
J. B. Carey, Stephen D. McCormick
1998, Aquaculture (168) 237-253
Atlantic salmon parr and smolts reared under a natural temperature and photoperiod regime were subjected to an acute handling and confinement stress in early May. Smolts had a mean plasma cortisol concentration of 10 ng/ml before stress and 242 ng/ml 3 h after initiation of stress which returned to pre-stress...
Seasonal differences in plasma cortisol and gill corticosteroid receptors in upper and lower mode juvenile Atlantic salmon
J. Mark Shrimpton, Stephen D. McCormick
1998, Aquaculture (168) 205-219
Circulating plasma cortisol and gill corticosteroid receptors (CR) have been observed to change seasonally in conjunction with smolting in Atlantic salmon. To differentiate whether these changes are seasonal or ontogenic, juvenile Atlantic salmon parr were separated by size into upper (UM) and lower mode (LM) in September. At monthly intervals,...
Repeated acute stress reduces growth rate of Atlantic salmon parr and alters plasma levels of growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor I and cortisol

1998, Aquaculture (168) 221-235
Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parr were subjected to acute handling stresses and growth-monitored for at least 30 days. In fish stressed twice daily, growth rate in weight was 61% lower than controls after 11 days (1.00 vs. 2.57% day−1) and over a 30 day period it was 50% lower than...
Epizootics of cancer in fish associated with genotoxins sediment and water
P. C. Baumann
1998, Mutation Research (411) 227-233
Neoplasm epizootics in fish from a wide variety of freshwater, marine, and estuarine locations have been associated with genotoxins in sediment or water. The majority of cases have involved benthic or bottom feeding fish living in habitats with sediment contaminated by PAHs. The most common lesions involved in such epizootics...
An overview of San Francisco Bay PORTS
Ralph T. Cheng, David McKinnie, Chad English, Richard E. Smith
1998, Conference Paper
The Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS) provides observations of tides, tidal currents, and meteorological conditions in real-time. The San Francisco Bay PORTS (SFPORTS) is a decision support system to facilitate safe and efficient maritime commerce. In addition to real-time observations, SFPORTS includes a nowcast numerical model forming a San Francisco...
Relation of lead exposure to sediment ingestion in mute swans on the Chesapeake Bay, USA
W. N. Beyer, D. Day, Alexandra Morton, Y. Pachepsky
1998, Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (17) 2298-2301
Although wildlife risk assessments are generally based on the accumulation of environmental contaminants through food chains, wildlife may also ingest contaminants incidentally with sediment. Forty-two mute swans (Cygnus olor) were collected from unpolluted portions of central Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, USA, in spring 1995, and their intestinal digesta were analyzed for...
Cenozoic global sea level, sequences, and the New Jersey transect: Results from coastal plain and continental slope drilling

1998, Reviews of Geophysics (36) 569-601
The New Jersey Sea Level Transect was designed to evaluate the relationships among global sea level (eustatic) change, unconformity-bounded sequences, and variations in subsidence, sediment supply, and climate on a passive continental margin. By sampling and dating Cenozoic strata from coastal plain and continental slope locations, we show that sequence...

The paper geologic map of the western part of the Cut Bank 1° x 2° quadrangle, northwestern Montana (Harrison and others, 1998) was digitized and initially attributed by the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology (MBMG) and remitted to the U.S. Geological Survey for further attribution and publication of the...
Fate of MTBE relative to benzene in a gasoline-contaminated aquifer (1993-98):

1998, Groundwater Monitoring & Remediation (18) 93-102
Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and benzene have been measured since 1993 in a shallow, sandy aquifer contaminated by a mid-1980s release of gasoline containing fuel oxygenates. In wells downgradient of the release area, MTBK was detected before benzene, reflecting a chromatographic-like separation of these compounds in the direction of ground...
Using chloride and chlorine-36 as soil-water tracers to estimate deep percolation at selected locations on the U.S. Department of Energy Hanford Site, Washington
Edmund A. Prych
1998, Water Supply Paper 2481
A chloride mass-balance method and a chlorine-36 isotope bomb-pulse method were used to estimate long-term average rates of deep percolation at at the U.S. Department of Energy Hanford Site. Because the bomb-pulse method typically gives an upper limit and the mass-balance method may underestimate, estimates from both methods probably bracket...

Estimating the effectiveness of further sampling inspecies inventories

1998, Ecological Applications (8) 1239-1249
Estimators of the number of additional species expected in the next Δn samples offer a potentially important tool for improving cost-effectiveness of species inventories but are largely untested. We used Monte Carlo methods to compare 11 such estimators, across a range of community structures and sampling regimes, and validated our results,...
