ERDC TN-DOER-E42 "Using the Fish Larvae and Egg Exposure System (FLEES) to generate effects data for informing environmental windows"
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE: The Fish Larvae and Egg Exposure System (FLEES) was designed to simulate the resuspension of sediment related to dredging operations and has been used over time to generate biological response data for dredging projects where environmental windows (EW) severely restrict dredging operations (Lutz et al. 2012). This technical note focuses on the physical and behavioral effects of resuspended sediment for the purpose of developing better informed EWs for dredging operations.

PURPOSE: Contaminants in dredged material (DM) placed in an upland situation, such as a confined disposal facility (CDF), may move from substrates into food webs because of their contact with CDF-colonizing or –inhabiting plants and animals, and therefore may cause unacceptable risks outside the CDF. The primary goal of this technical note is to provide guidance on evaluating bioaccumulation of...
متن کاملEffects of different starter diets on growth indices of Caspian Kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum larvae
Six different diets including two rainbow trout starters, Gammarus dry powder, shrimp dry powder, egg yolk dry powder and newly hatched Artemia were used in feeding of Caspian Kutum larvae. During a 4-week trial, larvae with a mean weight of 17.5 ± 4.7 mg were fed with three replicates and growth parameters were measured at the end of the experiment. Thirty fish in each experimental unit with...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal distribution of larvae of coral reef fishes in northern Red Sea, Egypt
The larval community of coral reef fishes in the Red Sea was studied in coastal and offshore sites to determine the effects of the exposure to waves and currents and the distance from the shore in structuring the larval fish community. Plankton sampling from inshore and offshore sites and the exposed and sheltered sides of the reefs resulted in the collection of 2048 larvae representing 49 diff...
