Growth, mortality, and secondary production of the copepod Acartia tranteri in Westernport Bay, Australia'

TL;DR: The low mortality and high longevity of A. tranteri are consistent with the observed low abundances of planktonic predators and with the low consumption rates of Acartia by planktivorous fish in the bay.
Journal ArticleDOI

pH and buffering capacity problems involved in the determination of ammonia in saline water using the indophenol blue spectrophotometric method

TL;DR: In this article, a maximum capacity of ca. 40μm-pH−1/ml−1 was found at pH 10.2 when [Mg2+] was 0.045m.
Journal ArticleDOI

In Situ Growth and Chemical Composition of the Giant Kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera: Response to Temporal Changes in Ambient Nutrient Availability

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of nutrient availability on growth was well approximated by a Monod rectangular hyperbola, with growth saturating at ambient nitrate concentrations between 1 and 2 FM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of temperature on light‐limited growth and chemical composition of skeletonema costatum (bacillariophyceae)1

TL;DR: Phytoplankton growth rate in response to irradiance can be approximated by a hyperbola defined by three coefficients: i) initial slope (α); ii) asymptote (μm); and, iii) X‐axis intercept or compensation irradiance (Ic).

Water chemistry of the Amazon basin: The distribution of chemical elements among freshwaters

K. Furch
TL;DR: The first classification of Amazonian freshwaters (Sioli 1950) was based mainly on optical characteristics, and distinguished blackwater, with a high content of humic compounds, whitewater and clearwater, which is neither turbid with suspensoids or coloured by humic compound as discussed by the authors.
