TL;DR: In this article, a new method of estimating total water levels relative to a datum is proposed, called tidal constituent and residual interpolation (TCARI), which takes values at the tide gauges and spatially interpolates them throughout the region.

••
TL;DR: An integrated deployment of multiple in situ platforms occurred during two divergent bloom years in the bay, and uncovered detailed aspects of population and toxicity dynamics, highlighting the benefit of expanded biological observing capabilities and targeted sampling methods to capture more comprehensive spatial and temporal scales for studying and predicting future events.

TL;DR: A direct competitive ELISA (cELISA), a method of detection with extremely high sensitivity and specificity, was used to analyze the blood of DA-exposed mice after extraction from the blood collection cards, and could be a very effective means of biomonitoring domoic acid in marine mammals in the field, as well as human populations.

TL;DR: The record of the larval to juvenile transition is clear at the population level, but unresolved at the individual level.
Abstract: Juveniles of the planehead filefish Stephano-lepishispidus (Pisces: Monacanthidae) (Linnaeus, 1766) are a major component of the Sargassum spp. community, yet little is known of their ecology. In this study, the otolith record of age, growth, and ontogeny in S.hispidus was examined. Juveniles caught off Beaufort Inlet, North Carolina (USA) on 30 June 1996 were marked with alizarin complexone and reared in a flow-through, outdoor tank for up to 19 days. Examination of marked otoliths at several time intervals showed that increment formation was not significantly different than one increment per day, and thus, increment number was used to estimate age. Depth-distribution, morphology, and meristics of larvae and juveniles collected (1990–1992) between Cape Romain, South Carolina, and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, were examined to identify the timing of the larval to juvenile transition. All indicators suggested the transition occurred between 17 and 20 days. Mean otolith increment widths exhibited a marked change at about 20 days, coinciding with the timing of the larval to juvenile transition and a change in the depth distribution from bottom to surface waters. Increment width of individual juveniles, however, did not exhibit the same pattern; only 40% conformed to the pattern identified for all fish. Thus, the record of the larval to juvenile transition is clear at the population level, but unresolved at the individual level.
