Aspects of the systematics of the viviparous bythitids, of the genera Ogilbia and Gunterichthys (Ophidiformes: bythitidae) in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Bythitidae are one of two viviparous families of the order Ophidiformes, a diverse but poorly known taxon of fishes that dominate large areas of the deep sea floor but that also live in the pelagic realm, on the continental ...
Experimental studies on the bioaccumulation and bioavailability of colloidally-bound trace metals to penaeid shrimp
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Trace metals in estuarine systems frequently exist as colloid-ion complexes and the chemical characteristics of these complexes may alter their bioavailability. The relative hydrophobicity of the colloid-ion complex could ...
Stable nitrogen isotope measurements of marine bacterial proteins and nucleic acids: tracers of microbial activity
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Stable nitrogen isotopes ([]15N) can trace elemental cycling in aquatic ecosystems if the enzyme mediated fractionations associated with nutrient uptake and assimilation are negligible or consistently predictable. In this ...
Physical properties of seafloor sediments from the Russian Pechora Sea
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
This study is the first of its kind in the English language that characterizes and quantifies the physical, acoustical, and geotechnical properties of the surficial marine sediments in the Pechora Sea. Profiles of bulk ...
Natural and anthropogenic radionuclides in the marginal seas of Siberia: implications for the fate and removal of pollutants
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Natural and anthropogenic radionuclides have been widely used to trace the sources and fate of radioactive pollutants in the marine environment. In this study, particle-reactive radionuclides such as ... Ph and 214 Th have ...
Trace metals in sediments of coastal Siberia
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
For the work described in this thesis, a total of 218 samples from 104 cores from the East Siberian, Laptev, Kara, and Pechora Seas and the Ob and Yenisei Rivers were analyzed for the trace metals Ag, As, Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, ...
Phosphorus limitation in the Mississippi River Plume (MRP) and Louisiana shelf (LS) during May 1992
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Phosphorus (P) cycling and possible P limitation in the Mississippi River Plume (MRP) and Louisiana shelf (LS) were studied during two Nutrient Enhanced Coastal Ocean Productivity (NECOP) cruises in May 1992. Horizontal ...
