Coral Communities on a Seaward Reef Slope, Fanning Island

Maragos, JE (University of Hawai'i Press, 1974-07)

The coral community on a 1 x 100 meter long vertical section of the leeward ocean reef slope at Fanning Island was quantitatively investigated with SCUBA and a quadrat transect technique. Forty-seven species of corals ...
Ecological Aspects of the Distributions of Fishes at Fanning Island

Chave, EH; Eckert, DB (University of Hawai'i Press, 1974-07)

The nearshore marine environment of Fanning Island (30 55' N, 159 23' W) was subjectively partitioned into seven habitats which are briefly described. Efforts were made to sample in each in order to obtain as complete ...
Fanning Island: Editor's Note

Kay, E Alison (University of Hawai'i Press, 1974-07)
The Flood-Tide Jet in Fanning Island Lagoon

Stroup, Edward D; Meyers, Gary A (University of Hawai'i Press, 1974-07)

The flood-tide jet entering Fanning Island Lagoon is described and is shown to be effective in promoting exchange between lagoon and ocean water. The residence time of lagoon water must thus be substantially less than ...
Groundwater and Nearshore Hyposaline Conditions at Fanning Island during a Period of Higher than Normal Rainfall

Guinther, Eric B (University of Hawai'i Press, 1974-07)

Exceptionally high rainfall levels accompanying instability of the Intertropical Convergence Zone in 1972 greatly expanded the freshwater realm on Fanning Island. Changes in the head of the groundwater body (a ...
Molluscan Distribution Patterns in Fanning Island Lagoon and a Comparison of the Mollusks of the Lagoon and the Seaward Reefs

Kay, E Alison; Switzer, Marilyn F (University of Hawai'i Press, 1974-07)

Lagoon molluscan assemblages at Fanning Island are described in terms of three topographical areas: the lagoon reef flat, the patch reefs, and the lagoon floor. Among the large mollusks, Clypeomorus brevis, Rhinoclavis ...
Processes of Carbon Dioxide Flux in the Fanning Island Lagoon

Smith, SV; Pesret, F (University of Hawai'i Press, 1974-07)

Carbon dioxide follows a variety of transfer pathways through marine systems, and a budget of CO2 can be used to enumerate those pathways. In a coral reef system, the biogeochemical pathways of organic carbon ...
Reef Corals of Fanning Island

Maragos, JE (University of Hawai'i Press, 1974-07)

Recent surveys indicate that the diversity of reef corals at Fanning Island is greater than previously estimated. Most of the approximately 70 species belonging to 32 genera and subgenera typically are found in one of ...
The Vascular Flora of Fanning Island, Line Islands, Pacific Ocean

St. John, Harold (University of Hawai'i Press, 1974-07)
