Behavioral Responses of Zooplankton to Thin Layers
My approach is to undertake a series of well replicated experiments on a broad range of zooplanktonic taxa, including copepods, larval fish, larval euphausiids, and ciliates. Our experimental apparatus consists of a series of six columnar tanks equipped with infra-red video cameras that continuously scan the full vertical range (210 cm) of each tank and thereby determine the vertical distributi...
متن کاملZooplankton responses during SEEDS
During the Subarctic Pacific Iron Experiment for the Ecosystem Dynamics Study (SEEDS), chlorophyll a concentration in the iron patch reached near maximum in 9 days (D9) after the iron fertilization and after that remained more or less constant. In spite of the stability of chlorophyll a, primary production was higher than 1.4–2.0 g C m d during D9–D13. As most of the carbon synthesized by phyto...
متن کاملBacterial bioluminescence as a lure for marine zooplankton and fish.
The benefits of bioluminescence for nonsymbiotic marine bacteria have not been elucidated fully. One of the most commonly cited explanations, proposed more than 30 y ago, is that bioluminescence augments the propagation and dispersal of bacteria by attracting fish to consume the luminous material. This hypothesis, based mostly on the prevalence of luminous bacteria in fish guts, has not been te...
متن کاملK/Na-triggered bioluminescence in the oceanic squid Symplectoteuthis oualaniensis.
A distinctive type of luminescent system present in the large dorsal luminous organ of the oceanic squid Symplectoteuthis oualaniensis is described. The organ produces an intense blue flash of light followed by a rapid decay in light intensity. Luminescence originates from numerous oval granules present in the luminous organ. The essential light-emitting components are membrane bound. Intact gr...
متن کاملBehavioral and Physiological Responses of Calves to Marshalling and Roping in a Simulated Rodeo Event.
Rodeos are public events at which stockpeople face tests of their ability to manage cattle and horses, some of which relate directly to rangeland cattle husbandry. One of these is calf roping, in which a calf released from a chute is pursued by a horse and rider, who lassoes, lifts and drops the calf to the ground and finally ties it around the legs. Measurements were made of behavior and stres...
