Ecophysiology of Marine Bivalves : Physiological Rate Processes in Dynamic Environments

Creator:

Gray, Matthew W.

Abstract:

Marine bivalves are globally recognized as ecologically and commercially valuable species and, for over a century, researchers have been studying their feeding, digestion and other related physiological processes. These studies have shown that marine bivalves have complex feeding and particle processing behaviors to maximize growth in dynamic environmental conditions. Additionally,...

A macroscopic to microscopic study of the effects of barotrauma and the potential for long-term survival in Pacific rockfish

Creator:

Pribyl, Alena L.

Abstract:

Depleted species of rockfish (Sebastes spp.) from the Northeast Pacific experience high discard mortality due to "barotrauma," induced from the rapid change in pressure during capture. Research suggests rockfish have the potential to survive barotrauma if immediately recompressed, but the potential for long-term recovery is unknown. In this project, we...
