(1977)The albacore, Thunnus alalunga, is a high seas pelagic tuna (Scombridae) whose distribution frequently seems governed by temperature. Tunas probably behaviorly thermoregulate using kineses. One method for explaining this ...
-
(1982)The last decade has witnessed a 665% increase in licenses sold to fur trappers in Texas. In 1976-77, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department initiated a program of sending questionnaires to a randomly selected sample of ...
-
(1977)Laboratory bioassays were conducted with toxaphene to determine its toxicity and LC₅₀ for grass shrimp, Palaemonetes pugio. Tests were conducted at 10, 19 and 100 ppb at 25°C and 10, 19 and 23 ppb at 30°C. The 24 hour LC₅₀ ...

(1998)Ridge mortality is a new coral malady, observed only at the Flower Gardens National Marine Sanctuary and the Florida Keys Sanctuary. Its effects are most dramatically seen on the brain coral (Diploria strigosa). This paper ...
-
(1977)Tilapia are currently being evaluated as a potential aquaculture organism. Tilapia culture is restricted by the organism's limited low temperature tolerance and its tendency toward overpopulation resulting in a reduction ...

-
(1978)The functional significance of mandibular papillae in feeding Roseate Spoonbills was studied. Feeding behavior of this species was investigated through observation both in the wild and under captive conditions. Spoonbills ...
-
(1996)I describe addition of a submodel representing dynamics of host resistance to the cattle fever tick (Boophilus microplus) to the simulation model of host-parasite-Iandscape interactions developed by Teel et al. (1996). The ...
-
(1993)In 1991, the neurotoxin, domoic acid, contaminated northern anchovies (.Engraulis mordax Girard) in Monterey Bay, California. Over 100 brown pelicans and Brandt’s cormorants died after consuming the contaminated anchovies. ...
-
(1985)I determined the accuracy and repeatability of electrofishing for estimating the proportional stock density (PSD) of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Three production ponds with known PSDs were electrofished at ...
