Effects of salinity on chloride cells and Na+ K+-ATPase activity in the teleost Gillchthys mirabilis Effects of salinity on chloride cells and Na+ K+-ATPase activity in the teleost Gillchthys mirabilis
1. Longjawed mudsuckers, Gillichthys mirabilis, in 30ppt seawater (SW) were transferred to 1.5, 30 and 60ppt SW. 2. In the first 1–3 days after transfer, plasma chloride level and plasma osmolarity rose in the 60ppt SW fish, and decreased in the 1.5ppt SW fish. 3. By day 21, however, plasma chloride and osmolarity were at or near the levels seen in the controls (30ppt). 4. Branchial and...

Effects of feeding a high level of D-glucose on liver function juvenile white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) Effects of feeding a high level of D-glucose on liver function juvenile white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus)
Juvenile white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) were fed three isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets containing either 35% D-glucose (HC), a mixture of 20% dextrin and 10% cellulose (MC), or 23% cellulose (LC), to investigate the effects of dietary carbohydrate on liver function. After 8-week feeding, body weight gain of fish fed the HC diet was consistently higher than that of fish...

Fluorspar Fluorspar
The U.S. produced 50 kt of fluorspar in 1992 and imported nearly 409 kt. Almost all the fluorspar was imported from China. The U.S. consumption of 467 kt represents the lowest level since 1958. This is due to the continuing decrease in consumption by the steel and aluminum industries.

[Book review] Illustrations of the birds of California, Texas, Oregon, British and Russian America [Book review] Illustrations of the birds of California, Texas, Oregon, British and Russian America
John Cassin was one of the leading American ornithologists of the 19th century. Appointed Honorary Curator of Birds at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia in 1842, he built and studied the collections of that institution (although engaged full time in business) until his death in 1869. This book represents perhaps his most important and least well known endeavor.

Hydrologic data and hydrologic budget for Summit Lake Reservoir, Henry County, East-Central Indiana, water years 1989 and 1990 Hydrologic data and hydrologic budget for Summit Lake Reservoir, Henry County, East-Central Indiana, water years 1989 and 1990
Hydrologic data were collected near Summit Lake Reservoir for 2 years beginning October 1, 1988, and ending September 30, 1990. The data-collection network consisted of 1 reservoir-stage gage, 2 precipitation gages, 1 evaporation pan, 2 streamflow gages, and 13 observation wells. Stage-area and stage-storage relations for the reservoir were used in combination with the hydrologic data to...
