The structure of an arctic shallow water benthic community : effects of ice gouging

Creator:: Braun, Gary Michael
Abstract:: The shallow water benthic habitat of the SW Beaufort Sea is frequently gouged by the keels of ice pressure ridges. This natural physical disturbance was hypothesized to be an important factor affecting the structure of the benthic community. Smith-McIntyre grab samples were taken from three discrete gouge axes and from...

Two zoogeographic studies of deep sea benthic gammarid amphipods

Creator:: Dickinson, John J. (John Joseph), 1946-
Abstract:: Two separate studies on the distribution of gammarid amphipods in the bathyal and abyssal benthic environments demonstrated that different assemblages could be found at a single depth over distances on the order of 100 kilometers. These studies evaluated changes in the species composition and relative abundance of the amphipod assemblage...

The inherent optical properties of the oceans: from closure to prediction

Creator:: Barnard, Andrew Heath
Abstract:: Precise in situ measurement of the spectral absorption and scattering coefficients in several regions has revealed patterns in the distribution of the inherent optical properties on spatial scales that were previously unobtainable. The precision of the measurements was found to be consistent and unbiased across a variety of oceanic regimes...

The time-averaged circulation of the north Pacific Ocean : an analysis based on inverse methods

Creator:: Zaron, Edward D.
Abstract:: The time-averaged velocity field in the North Pacific was estimated in two sets of inverse calculations. The planetary geostrophic equations were the basis for dynamical models of the flow in each case. The inverse estimates of the circulation were obtained by minimizing a positive-definite cost function, which measured the inconsistency...

The abundance, distribution, and ecology of the Tanner crab, Chionoecetes tanneri Rathbun, on the southern Oregon continental slope

Creator:: Oliver, Brian Lee
Abstract:: Eleven cruises were conducted on the Oregon continental slope from April 1973 to March 1975 to assess the biology and ecology of the Tanner crab, Chionoecetes tanneri Rathbun. Bathymetric and seasonal analysis of the distribution of adult Tanner crabs west of Coos Bay, Oregon, revealed no segregation of sexes or...

Size classes, population structure, growth, sex ratio, and size and age at maturity of Chionoecetes tanneri Rathbun (Brachyura:Majidae) off the Oregon coast

Creator:: Tester, Patricia A.
Abstract:: During eleven cruises conducted off the Oregon continental slope from April 1973 to March 1975, approximately 1600 specimens of the majid crab Chionoecetes tanneri Rathbun were collected. A time sequence of size frequency histograms and bivariate plots of allometric measurements were used to determine size classes, population structure, growth and...

Seasonal change in the abundance and spatial distribution of a meiobenthic assemblage on the open Oregon coast and its relationship to the diet of O-age flatfishes

Creator:: Hogue, Everett Wayne
Abstract:: The shallow, wave-swept sea floor off the central Oregon coast is used by 0-age flatfishes as a nursery ground. This dissertation is based on a series of projects designed to: 1) identify the dominant meiobenthic nematodes present in a coastal nursery area; 2) describe the important temporal and spatial scales...

Analysis of the benthic Cumacea and Gammaridean Amphipoda from the western Beaufort Sea

Creator:: Castillo Alarcon, Jorge Gonzalo
Abstract:: A multidisciplinary western Beaufort Sea Ecological Cruise (WEBSEC) was conducted from August 15 to September 20, 1971. During the cruise, one hundred ninety-nine 0.1 m² Smith-McIntyre grabs samples were taken at forty stations located on the continental shelf and slope of the western Beaufort Sea. The Gammaridean Amphipoda and Cumacea...
