The absorption of 14C sugars and 22Na has been studied in the cichlid Tilapia mossambica and the surgeonfish Acanthurus sandvicensis using the everted sac technique of Wilson and Wiseman (1954). Some of the parameters of ...

The ability of marine phytoplankton to acclimate to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) was examined. Monocultures of a subtropical diatom, Chaetoceros gracilis, were maintained under photosynthetically available radiation (PAR-only) ...

Juvenile reef fishes often have a color pattern different from that of adults. It has been theorized that this reduces the aggression received by juveniles from adult conspecifics. This was tested using two species of ...

The environmental dynamics of mercury were studied in Ala Wai Canal, a small Hawaiian estuary. Three indicator species were used in the study - the detritus feeding polychaete Nereis succinea and shrimp Palaemon debilis ...

The Hawaiian angelfish, Centropyge potteri, was used as a model system to develop and test hypotheses regarding the integration of stimuli from both physical and social environments into reproductive strategies; specifically ...

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between social behavior in M. rosenbergii and the utilization of resources. This shrimp is commercially aquacultured, and much of its life history is known. However, ...

With the ultimate purpose of clarifying the role of zooxanthellae in calcification in corals, a study was conducted (1) to analyze the effects of some environmental factors on the rate of calcium uptake by Fungia scutaria ...
