Association of Cytophaga psychrophila with mortality among eyed eggs of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) Association of Cytophaga psychrophila with mortality among eyed eggs of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

Although Pseudomonas fluorescens was the predominant bacterium associated with Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) eggs incubated at the White River National Fish Hatchery (Bethel, Vermont) during January 1992, the fish pathogen Cytophaga psychrophila was isolated only from specific lots of eggs that displayed poor survival (35% eye-up).

Design procedure for hooded surface oxygen absorption systems Design procedure for hooded surface oxygen absorption systems

A design procedure addressing effluent total dissolved gas pressure limits along with standard performance indicators such as oxygen absorption efficiency (kg absorbed/kg applied), and transfer efficiency (kg/kW.h), is presented for surface agitation equipment operating in an oxygen-enriched atmosphere. Application of this contactor type in closed culture systems is attractive given its

A mechanism for decoupling within the oceanic lithosphere revealed in the Troodos ophiolite A mechanism for decoupling within the oceanic lithosphere revealed in the Troodos ophiolite

Contrasting kinematic histories recorded in the sheeted dykes and underlying plutonic rocks of the Troodos ophiolite provide a new perspective on the mechanical evolution of oceanic spreading centres. The kinematic framework of the decoupling zone that partitions deformation between the sheeted dykes and plutonics contrasts with low-angle detachment models for slow-spreading ridges based...

Dicofol and DDT residues in lizard carcasses and bird eggs from Texas, Florida, and California Dicofol and DDT residues in lizard carcasses and bird eggs from Texas, Florida, and California

Dicofol is an organochlorine agricultural pesticide used to control mites. The principal commercial dicofol product is known as Kelthane TM. More than 70% of dicofol product (about 3 million Ib or 1.4 million kg) sold annually in the U.S. is applied in California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida. Florida citrus and California cotton receive more than half the total (Clark 1990). In...

Surficial aquifer system of the New Jersey Coastal Plain: Significance to resource management Surficial aquifer system of the New Jersey Coastal Plain: Significance to resource management

An understanding of the interaction between human activities and the Nation's surficial (water-table) aquifers is critical to maintaining the quantity and quality of our water resources and the health of the ecosystems they support. In recognition of the importance of these aquifers, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is developing a program to study the surficial aquifers of the New...
