Book excerpt: Grazing assessment was conducted for three common zooplankton species that were found within two K. brevis blooms, A. tonsa, P. quasimodo, and L. aestiva, using 14C labeled K. brevis cells. Grazing rates were then applied to the zooplankton community and grazing assessed. Grazing pressure was occasionally heavy, and was capable of reducing K. brevis to background concentrations at stations in the 1999 bloom and at 1 station in the 2001 bloom. Generally, however, grazing pressure proved to be insufficient to reduce K. brevis to background concentrations during the 1999 and 2001 blooms.

Book Synopsis Distribution, Relative Abundance, and Movement of Skipjack Tuna, Katsuwonus Pelamis, in the Pacific Ocean Based on Japanese Tuna Longline Catches, 1964-67 by : Walter M. Matsumoto
Download or read book Distribution, Relative Abundance, and Movement of Skipjack Tuna, Katsuwonus Pelamis, in the Pacific Ocean Based on Japanese Tuna Longline Catches, 1964-67 written by Walter M. Matsumoto and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catch data of the Japanese tuna longline fishery from 1964 to 1967 were analyzed to determine the distribution, abundance, and movement of skipjack tuna, Katsuwonus pelamis, in offshore waters of the Pacific Ocean. Large skipjack tuna, as well as larvae, were found to be concentrated mainly in the east central equatorial Pacific. Movement of skip-jack tuna stocks was determined by following the shifting of high-CPUE (catch per unit effort) cells from one quarter to the next. The apparent movement of skipjack tuna stocks in the Pacific appeared to coincide with the circulation of the major ocean currents; counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere and clockwise in the northern hemisphere, except in the eastern Pacific where the current flow is counterclockwise. The movement patterns of high CPUE suggested that skipjack tuna adults or their progeny could move from one area to the next. The movement pattern was used also to determine the probable migratory routes followed by skipjack tuna tagged in the eastern Pacific and recovered near the Hawaiian and Christmas islands.

This book was released on 2019-10-03 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth volume in the Harte Research Institute’s landmark scientific series on the Gulf of Mexico provides the first comprehensive study that covers the major core subjects of chemical oceanography in the Gulf. It synthesizes a tremendous amount of established research, together with the most recent information emerging from studies conducted during and after the Macondo Well oil spill that resulted from the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform. Situated within the boundaries of a changing semi-tropical region, the Gulf of Mexico is a particularly important body to its bordering countries—the United States, Mexico, and Cuba—and directly influences the economies of these nations through shipping, oil and gas extraction, mineral mining, fisheries, and myriad ecosystem services and recreational opportunities. The changing chemistry of the Gulf also has wide-ranging effects on weather patterns as many of the hurricanes that reach land in the US and Mexico pass through this ocean basin. We are already seeing some of the consequences of climate change, including, to name one example, the increased frequency of harmful algal blooms, the cause of which is still unknown in most cases. This book brings together a team of expert chemical oceanographers from the US and Mexico to provide a foundational understanding of the complex chemistry of North America’s only marginal sea. Gulf of Mexico Origin, Waters, and Biota: Volume 5, Chemical Oceanography serves as an important reference for understanding the basic science, management, and economic issues facing the Gulf of Mexico while pointing out key topics in critical need of additional research.
Book Synopsis A Three-dimensional Biophysical Model of Light, Nutrient, and Grazing Controls on Phytoplankton Competition Affecting Red Tide Maintenance on the West Florida Shelf by : Scott P. Milroy

Milroy and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: A coupled, three-dimensional, time-dependent numerical model of water circulation, spectral light, plankton dynamics, nutrient/CDOM loadings, and zooplankton grazing provided an assessment of the factors affecting the growth and maintenance of red tides on the west Florida shelf (WFS). The coupled biophysical model consisted of state variable quantities for temperature, salinity, horizontal/vertical velocity components, turbulent diffusion, spectral light, colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM), dissolved organic and inorganic carbon, particulate silica, four dissolved inorganic nutrient pools (nitrate, ammonium, phosphate, and silicate), and four phytoplankton groups (diatoms, microflagellates, non-toxic dinoflagellates, and the red tide organism Karenia brevis). The model also included a complex grazing scheme that utilized thirteen different zooplankton groups to explore the effects of selective herbivory, feeding periodicity, diel vertical migration, fecal pellet egestion, and ammonium/phosphate excretion within a diverse zooplankton community. Over the shelf and slope of the eastern Gulf of Mexico, from the Mississippi River delta to the Florida Keys, four cases of the model were run during August -- November to explore the dynamics of red tide maintenance with respect to: (1) no refuge from grazing for K. brevis; (2) grazer avoidance of K. brevis during CDOM shading; (3) grazer avoidance of K. brevis in Case II waters; and (4) increased grazing stress on K. brevis competitors. NEGOM and ECOHAB data sets during July -- November 1999 were used to establish the initial/boundary conditions and provided validation data for the coupled model as well. Model results indicate that the red tide of 5.9 x 10^6 cells L-1 witnessed offshore Sarasota, Florida on 07 October 1999 was initiated by an inoculum of K. brevis observed in near-bottom waters above the 30 m isobath offshore Sarasota on 31 August 1999. Flowfields measured at moored ADCPs, observations from AVHRR satellite imagery, and west Florida shelf circulation models indicate that conditions of coastal upwelling existed during the period of bloom development, such that the K. brevis inoculum was delivered to the coast in the bottom Ekman layer. As a shade-adapted species capable of vertical migration, K. brevis cells aggregated near the bottom in order to escape photo-inhibitive light intensities in the overlying water column during the day and harvested the recycled nitrogen excreted by zooplankton grazers. This concomitant relaxation of light inhibition and nitrogen-limitation ultimately led to the growth and maintenance of the red tide, constrained in near-bottom waters during much of the day and preferentially advected inshore as a result of coastal upwelling. As K. brevis was advected inshore, self-shading, CDOM, and suspended inorganic particulates all contributed to the prevention of photo-inhibitive light intensities that, in combination with the excretion of recycled ammonium, ultimately led to the maintenance of a significant red tide at the coast.

Book Synopsis Habitats and Biota of the Gulf of Mexico: Before the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill by : C. Herb Ward

This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 917 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license. The Gulf of Mexico is an open and dynamic marine ecosystem rich in natural resources but heavily impacted by human activities, including agricultural, industrial, commercial and coastal development. The Gulf of Mexico has been continuously exposed to petroleum hydrocarbons for millions of years from natural oil and gas seeps on the sea floor, and more recently from oil drilling and production activities located in the water near and far from shore. Major accidental oil spills in the Gulf are infrequent; two of the most significant include the Ixtoc I blowout in the Bay of Campeche in 1979 and the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in 2010. Unfortunately, baseline assessments of the status of habitats and biota in the Gulf of Mexico before these spills either were not available, or the data had not been systematically compiled in a way that would help scientists assess the potential short-term and long-term effects of such events. This 2-volume series compiles and summarizes thousands of data sets showing the status of habitats and biota in the Gulf of Mexico before the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. Volume 1 covers: water and sediment quality and contaminants in the Gulf; natural oil and gas seeps in the Gulf of Mexico; coastal habitats, including flora and fauna and coastal geology; offshore benthos and plankton, with an analysis of current knowledge on energy capture and energy flows in the Gulf; and shellfish and finfish resources that provide the basis for commercial and recreational fisheries.
