Spatial and Temporal Assessment of Vertically Migrating Myctophids as Biotransporters of Microplastics to Mesopelagic Food Webs

Creator:

Boisen, Olivia C.

Abstract:

It is well documented that microplastics and semi-synthetic particles (<5 mm) pervade the marine environment, with their ingestion by marine fauna eliciting global concern. While fishes exposed to microparticles in a laboratory setting have exhibited both sub-lethal and lethal effects, the diversity in material, morphology, and size of these contaminants...

Development and Evaluation of a Static Land-Based Aquaculture System for Pacific Dulse (Devaleraea mollis): Environmental and Nutrient Requirements

Creator:

Chatfield, Marcus W.

Abstract:

Devaleraea mollis (Pacific Dulse) is becoming a popular food for human consumption. Previously, Pacific Dulse has been used as a nutrient source for cultured abalone species, with some historical food use by indigenous peoples, while the closely related Atlantic dulse (Palmaria palmata) has a long-documented history of use in cuisine...

A Low-Volume Flow-Through System for Rearing Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) Larvae

Creator:

Fleener, Henry R.

Abstract:

Standard larval Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) rearing systems can be described as either static or continuous flow. While rearing oyster larvae in static cultures can be a low-cost and simple method, static systems require significant husbandry effort, floorspace and can produce highly variable results due to environmental variance among cultures....
