Use of extractable lipofuscin as an age biomarker to determine age structure of ghost shrimp (Neotrypaea californiensis) populations in west coast estuaries

Creator:: Cassidy, Katelyn M.
Abstract:: Determining age in crustaceans is inherently imprecise because they molt periodically and do not retain hard structures throughout their lifespan. Morphological measurements, such as carapace length, are often used to estimate age because methods for direct ageing do not exist. However, variability in individual growth rate and molt frequency can...

An Integrated Approach to the Investigation of Age, Growth and Population Dynamics of Burrowing Thalassinidean Shrimps in a U.S. West Coast Estuary

Creator:: Bosley, Katelyn Marie
Abstract:: Two indigenous species of burrowing shrimp inhabit and often dominate the intertidal zone of estuaries along the US West Coast, the ghost shrimp, Neotrypaea californiensis, and the blue mud shrimp, Upogebia pugettensis. Both species are considered ecosystem engineers and play a role in maintaining estuarine health and ecosystem function. They...

Rearing conditions and their effects on growth, food conversion, and survival of English sole (Parophrys vetulus Girard)

Creator:: Williams, Steven Frank
Abstract:: This study consisted of determining some of the conditions for culture of young English sole (Parophrys vetulus Girard) in the laboratory. Rearing of the larvae to the juvenile stage was attempted unsuccessfully; techniques used and problems encountered during culture are discussed. Growth of juveniles was studied at combinations of temperatures...

Response of avian communities to herbicide-induced vegetation changes, western Oregon

Creator:: Morrison, Michael L.
Abstract:: The relationships between avian community structure and herbicide modification of vegetation were analyzed on early-growth clearcuts in western Oregon that had received phenoxy herbicide treatment 1 or 4 years previously. Only minor effects of herbicide treatment were evident 1-year after spraying, except for red adler (Alnus rubra), which still exhibited...

Carbon Dynamics Associated with Land Cover Change in Tropical Mangrove Ecosystems of the Mahakam Delta, East Kalimantan, Indonesia

Creator:: Arifanti, Virni B.
Abstract:: The Mahakam Delta which was once among the largest mangrove forests in Indonesia, has been subjected to dramatic changes in structure and function due to massive shifts from mangrove forest to shrimp ponds and oil and gas development. To understand the impacts of mangrove loss to the greenhouse gas (GHG)...

Effects of Hypoxia on Consumption, Growth, and RNA:DNA Ratios of Young Yellow Perch

Creator:: Roberts, James J., Brandt, Stephen B., Fanslow, David, Ludsin, Stuart A., Pothoven, Steven A., Scavia, Donald, and Höök, Tomas O.
Abstract:: As in various freshwater and coastal marine ecosystems worldwide, seasonal bottom water hypoxia is a recurring phenomenon in Lake Erie's central basin. While bottom hypoxia can strongly affect sessile benthic animals, its effects on mobile organisms such as fish are less understood. We evaluated the potential for bottom hypoxia to...

Life history strategies and tactics of striped bass (Morone saxatilis) Walbaum

Creator:: Eldridge, Maxwell B.
Abstract:: Traditional approaches to research and management of striped bass have tended to be mechanistic, numerically oriented, and based on limited life history information. In the study presented here, comprehensive conceptual perspective was used in a multivariate study of life history and evolutionary adaptation of 10 striped bass populations representing the...

Ecology of the northern subpopulation of northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax) in the California Current large marine ecosystem

Creator:: Litz, Marisa N. C.
Abstract:: Northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax) are a dominant forage fish in the California Current large marine ecosystem (CCLME). However, little is known about northern anchovy abundance, distribution, age structure, or population fluctuations relative to ocean conditions in the eastern boundary upwelling system off the U.S. West Coast. This thesis includes three...
