The Columbia River Gillnetter is the pilot of the Lower Columbia River commercial fishing industry, keeping fishermen and the public in touch with today's important issues.
The marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula has proven to be extraordinarily rich in bioactive secondary metabolites. This dissertation describes the chemistry of L. majuscula collected from Grenada, Fiji and Papua New Guinea, and the biosyntheses of two L. majuscula metabolites, curacin A and barbamide.
The chemical studies with a Grenada collection...
The work presented in this dissertation examines possible
modes of action for growth inhibition by anthropogenic endocrine
disrupting chemicals (EDCs) as well as endogenous hormones
associated with growth in fish. Using the sheepshead minnow (SHM)
(Cyprinodon variegatus) as a model, I developed methods to examine
perturbations in the endocrine axis...
