In this study the relationship between salinity and temperature
changes on microbial growth, enzyme induction and substrate uptake
were investigated. The obligately psychrophilic bacterium, V.
marinus MP-1 was grown for 48 hours at 15 C in a glucose-ammonium
medium (GAM) containing 0.4 M NaCl. Log-phase cells were harvested
and shifted...
Chum salmon from different stocks were bred together in two experiments. Three stocks contributed gametes to one experiment, two stocks to another. Sibling groups of eggs, alevins, and fry were maintained in a common environment. Variability of development rates, rearing performance, susceptibility to disease, and behavioral traits was partitioned into...
The lag phase, the specific growth rate, the minimum a [subscript w]
required for growth and the temperature characteristic of
Fsendomonas fluorescens, Brochothrix thermosphacta, Salmonella
typhlmurium, Streptococcus faecalis and, Staphylococcus aureus
have been studied in liquid model media under controlled temperature
and a [subscript w] conditions. The results show that...
Most studies of bacteria in water have concerned public health; little attention has been given to organisms which are indigenous to
the aquatic environment. Myxobacteria are known to occur in soil,
in the marine environment, and several have been studied in relation
to diseases of salmonid fishes. However, little information...
This investigation demonstrates the feasibility of a
polyculture system using effluent water from land-based
salmon culture systems to feed juvenile Manila clams, Tapes
japonica (Deshyes), and an evaluation of an artificial diet
for feeding juvenile clams. An economic analysis of the
polyculture system was compared to cultures of a single...
These studies were initiated to investigate the influence of previous
superphosphate fertilizer practices and grazing stock history on
nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur status in soils from grass-legume
pastures. Four Western Oregon soil series, Dixonville, Demint,
Winema and Josephine, were included in the study. Laboratory experiments
and greenhouse trials were conducted...
Utilization of zebrafish, Danio rerio, has steadily increased and its applications have expanded into numerous fields of science. Applying elevated temperatures (32°C to 37°C) to this organism has allowed researchers to conduct climate change, human cancer and infectious disease studies. Though zebrafish can be acclimated from the standard 28°C to...
In this paper "map complexity" refers to the inherent
intricacy of a mapped geographic pattern. Map complexity and sample
size are two variables shown to influence the accuracy of
interpolated dasymetric maps.
An automated experiment was designed to investigate the
precise relationship among map complexity, sample size, and the
accuracy...
