    Benoit, Gregory M.
    Abstract:
    The collection, evaluation, and organization of spatial information is instrumental to the successful development and execution of planning policies and management programs. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide the technology to integrate varying informational needs into a single relational database for ease in data retrieval and analysis. The use of a...

  • Light and the behavior of pelagic animals during night and crepuscular periods

    Creator:
    Wisdom, Daniel W.
    Abstract:
    Light plays an important role in ecological processes in the ocean both day and night. While relatively inexpensive, off the shelf instruments are available to measure Photosynthetically Active Radiation or PAR during the day, efforts to quantify light levels at night have proven more difficult. The goal of this work...

  • The effects of scattering-layer composition, animal size, and numerical density on the frequency response of volume backscatter

    Creator:
    Benoit-Bird, Kelly J.
    Abstract:
    Land-associated, sound-scattering layers of mesopelagic micronekton surround the Hawaiian Islands. These animals undergo diel migrations during which they split into multiple, distinct layers that have differences in animal density, taxonomic composition, and size. A video-camera system capable of quantitatively estimating the biological constituency of the layers was combined with a...

    Hay, Joshua
    Abstract:
    Metabolic syndrome, characterized by a collection of risk factors including abdominal obesity, insulin insensitivity, elevated plasma triglycerides, hypertension and low plasma high-density lipoproteins (HDLs), is a major contributing factor to the development of cardiovascular diseases and type II diabetes (T2D). Xanthohumol (XN), a flavonoid isolated from Humulus lupulus cones, has...

  • Enhancing the Economic Contribution of Fisheries to West and Central African Nations

    Creator:
    Horemans, Benoit and Kebe, Moustapha
    Abstract:
    The fishery sector plays multiple roles in the national economies of West and Central African countries, including contributions to economic growth, employment, exports and tax revenues. A high proportion of these benefits are generated by the small-scale sector and contribute in various ways to food security and poverty reduction -...

  • B-cell development in rainbow trout : a molecular/cellular based approach

    Creator:
    Hansen, John D. (John David)
    Abstract:
    Currently little is known about the mechanisms and locations of lymphocyte development in teleosts. In this study several aspects of the underlying factors which govern B lymphocyte development in trout were investigated which included: the isolation and characterization of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) genes, the recombination activating genes 1 and...

  • Broadband backscatter from individual Hawaiian mesopelagic boundary community animals with implications for spinner dolphin foraging

    Creator:
    Au, Whitlow W. L. and Benoit-Bird, Kelly J.
    Abstract:
    Broadband simulated dolphin echolocation signals were used to measure the ex situ backscatter properties of mesopelagic boundary community MBC in order to gain a better understanding of the echolocation process of spinner dolphins foraging on the MBC. Subjects were captured by trawling with a 2-m-opening Isaacs-Kidd Midwater Trawl. Backscatter measurements...

  • Target strength measurements of Hawaiian mesopelagic boundary community animals

    Creator:
    Benoit-Bird, Kelly J. and Au, Whitlow W. L.
    Abstract:
    A 200-kHz echosounder modified to digitize the envelope of the received echoes directly into a computer was used to measure the ex situ target strength (TS) of live animals from the Hawaiian mesopelagic boundary community as a function of animal size, tilt and roll angle, and biological classification. Dorsal aspect...

  • Echo strength and density structure of Hawaiian mesopelagic boundary community patches

    Creator:
    Benoit-Bird, Kelly J. and Au, Whitlow W. L.
    Abstract:
    A broadband sonar system and digital camera with strobe lights were mounted on a vertically profiling frame with a depth sensor. The echo strengths and densities of animals within individual mesopelagic boundary community patches were investigated as a function of depth. Time and distance from shore were also investigated. Simultaneous...

  • Bottom-up regulation of a pelagic community through spatial aggregations - not biomass

    Creator:
    Benoit-Bird, Kelly J. and McManus, Margaret A.
    Abstract:
    The importance of spatial pattern in ecosystems has long been recognized. However, incorporating patchiness into our understanding of forces regulating ecosystems has proven challenging. We used a combination of continuously sampling moored sensors complemented by shipboard sampling to measure the temporal variation, abundance, and vertical distribution of four trophic levels...
