Modeling tides in Monterey Bay, California
from the regional ocean modeling system (ROMS), has three one-way nested domains with the finest resolution of 1.6 km in the horizontal direction and 32 levels in the vertical direction. In present research, the tidal simulation of the system is validated against tide gauges, ADCP current observations, high-frequency radar surface-current observations, and compared with the output from two baro...
متن کاملDigestive chitinolytic activity in marine fishes of Monterey Bay, California.
Chitinolytic activities, both chitinase (EC 3.2.1.14) and minimum chitobiase (beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase; EC 3.2.1.30), were measured in stomach and intestinal tissues and their contents, from 13 fish species. Higher activities were found in the tissues than in the gut contents, and higher activities were seen in the stomachs than in the intestines. Demersal species exhibited chitobiase ac...
متن کاملAcoustic detection and quantification of benthic egg beds of the squid Loligo opalescens in Monterey Bay, California.
The squid Loligo opalescens is a key species in the nearshore pelagic community of California, supporting the most valuable state marine fishery, yet the stock biomass is unknown. In southern Monterey Bay, extensive beds occur on a flat, sandy bottom, water depths 20-60 m, thus sidescan sonar is a prima-facie candidate for use in rapid, synoptic, and noninvasive surveying. The present study des...
متن کاملEffects of Otter Trawling on a Benthic Community in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary
Bottom trawling is one of the most disruptive and widespread human-induced physical disturbances to seabed communities and has become a global environmental concern. We used a comparative approach to test the hypothesis that persistent otter trawling decreases bottom habitat complexity and biodiversity, increases the abundance of opportunistic species, and benefits prey important in the diet of...
متن کاملA new Glossocephalus (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Hyperiidea: Oxycephalidae) from deep-water in the Monterey Bay region, California, USA, with an overview of the genus.
A new species of Glossocephalus, G. rebecae sp. nov., is described from deep-water in the Monterey Bay region of California, Eastern Pacific Ocean. It seems to be associated exclusively with the mesopelagic ctenophore Bathocyroe fosteri. This association has been observed from 541-830 m depth. It is readily distinguished from G. milneedwardsi Bovallius, 1887 by the shape of the eye fields. The ...
