Analysis of zooplankton communities of Nova Scotia lakes with reference to water chemistry
(Dalhousie Printing Centre, 1987-12)Zooplankton collections from Nova Scotian lakes were analysed to determine if relationships existed between plankton distributions and chemical variables associated with acid rain. A total of 27 taxa was identified. The ... -
The effect of lime on the zooplankton population of Sandy Lake, Halifax County, Nova Scotia
(Dalhousie Printing Centre, 1988-05)Liming of Sandy Lake, Nova Scotia, during July and August of 1981 produced an abrupt and transient increase in the pH of the lake and concurrent changes in the zooplankton community. Immediately following liming, the ... -
EUPHAUSIID ECOLOGY AND WATER MASS ASSOCIATIONS IN ROSEWAY BASIN MEASURED FROM AN OCEAN GLIDER
The goal of this thesis is to quantify spatial and temporal variation in the concentration and distribution of zooplankton, with an emphasis on euphausiid krill, in Roseway Basin, on the Scotian Shelf. We used an autonomous ... -
Fatty acids as dietary tracers in benthic food webs
(Inter-Research, Nordbuente 23 Oldendorf/Luhe 21385 Germany, 2011)Fatty acid (FA) analysis is a well-established tool for studying trophic interactions in marine habitats. However, its application to benthic food webs poses 2 particular challenges. First, unlike pelagic zooplankton, ... -
Photosynthetic characteristics and estimated growth rates indicate grazing is the proximate control of primary production in the Equatorial Pacific
(1992)Macronutrients persist in the surface layer of the equatorial Pacific Ocean because the production of phytoplankton is limited. Measurements of photosynthesis as a function of irradiance (P-I) provide information on the ... -
