Sediment transport pathway in the back of a nearly semienclosed subembayment of San Francisco Bay, California Sediment transport pathway in the back of a nearly semienclosed subembayment of San Francisco Bay, California
Time series measurements of current velocity, depth and suspended-solids concentration (SSC) were used to obtain suspended-solids fluxes (SSF) during the fall at central Honker Bay and Spoonbill Creek. A wind-induced shear stress increases SSF out of Honker Bay through Spoonbill Creek by combining two effects: (1) wind-wave resuspension of bed sediments, and (2) wind shear raises the...

The loss of hyperosmoregulatory ability in migrating juvenile American shad, Alosa sapidissima The loss of hyperosmoregulatory ability in migrating juvenile American shad, Alosa sapidissima
Investigations on juvenile American shad (Alosa sapidissima) revealed several physiological changes associated with downstream migration. Plasma chloride decreased 20% in wild juvenile shad during the autumn migration. Migrants had lower condition factor and hematocrit than non-migrant shad captured by beach seining. Gill Na + ,K + -ATPase activity of migrant shad was higher than non...

Anthropogenic molecular markers: Tools to identify the sources and transport pathways of pollutants Anthropogenic molecular markers: Tools to identify the sources and transport pathways of pollutants
The activities of modern civilization have released to the oceans a wide variety of both mobilized natural compounds and synthetic compounds not found prior to modern times. Many of these compounds provide a means of identifying sources of inputs and pathways of movement of chemicals through oceanic ecosystems and serve as molecular markers of human activities. A coastal ocean (Tokyo Bay...
