Larval dispersal in marine fishes: novel methods reveal patterns of self-recruitment and population connectivity

Creator:

Christie, Mark R.

Abstract:

Many marine fish populations are severely declining due to over-fishing, loss of both juvenile and adult habitats, and accelerating environmental degradation. Fisheries management and the implementation of marine protected areas (MPAs) and other conservation tools are currently hindered by large gaps in knowledge about larval dispersal and its subsequent effects...

Dynamics of organic matter production and degradation during coastal diatom blooms

Creator:

Wetz, Michael S.

Abstract:

Experiments were designed to answer key questions about diatom-derived organic matter cycling (i.e., production and degradation) in coastal systems. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) production was examined in axenic batch cultures of five diatom species. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release rates varied between species, but were significantly higher for all species...
