An analysis of deep-sea benthic communities in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico
(1977)
The abundance and distribution of 142 benthic species from 39 Skimmer stations in the Northeast Gulf of Mexico were analyzed using cluster analysis. Five deep-sea communities were defined: (1) Upper Continental Slope ...
The transport of heavy metals by the Mississippi River and their fate in the Gulf of Mexico
(1977)
Significant differences in total and leachable concentration of some metals were observed between Mississippi River suspended matter and Gulf of Mexico sediments. These variations are related to diversity in Gulf sediment ...
The origin and distribution of shallow water gammaridean amphipoda in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea with notes on their ecology
(1977)
The present study details the occurrence, distribution and origins of shallow water marine gammarideans in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. One hundred and forty species are diagnosed or discussed and keys to the ...
Tropic interrelationships of selected fishes on the continental shelf of the northern Gulf of Mexico
(1977)
The present study surveys the trophic interrelationships of 26 demersal fishes inhabiting the continental shelf of the northern Gulf of Mexico. Volumetric stomach content analyses were carried out on 4,550 specimens. Fishes ...
Late Pleistocene geologic history of the outer continental shelf and upper continental slope, northwest Gulf of Mexico
(1977)
Integrated high resolution seismic and core data from the Texas outer continental shelf and upper continental slope were used to reconstruct the late Pleistocene geologic history of the area. Seismically aided correlation ...
Ferromanganese remobilization in recent sediments of the Gulf of Mexico
(1977)
Pore water Fe and Mn were measured in a suite of gravity cores from the northern Gulf of Mexico in a study of diagnostic remobilization in recent sediments. Other relevant parameters such as pH, oxidation potential, total ...
A spatial modeling approach to pelagic ecosystems
(1977)
A modeling technique is developed and applied to two different marine ecosystems problems. The technique approaches marine systems through the mathematical modeling of spatial patterns and deals with spatial heterogeneity ...
Protozoan and metazoan symbionts of natural and maricultured populations of commercial shrimp from the northwestern coast of the Gulf of Mexico
(1977)
Natural and cultured populations of P. aztecus and P. setiferus and cultured populations of P. stylirostris and P. vannamei were examined for ecto- and endosymbionts. The 18 symbionts which follow were identified from these ...
