  • West Coast Habs Session Approaches to the Detection of Domoic Acid in Marine Food Webs
    ABSTRACTS OF ORAL PRESENTATIONS WEST COAST HABS SESSION APPROACHES TO THE DETECTION OF DOMOIC ACID IN MARINE FOOD WEBS Gregory J. Doucette Marine Biotoxins Program, Center for Coastal Environmental Health & Biomolecular Research, National Ocean Service, 219 Fort Johnson Rd., Charleston, SC 29412 Just over a decade ago in eastern Canada, the neurotoxin domoic acid was identified as the causative agent of a human intoxication syndrome known as amnesic shellfish poisoning. Since that event in 1987, domoic acid and the diatoms that produce it (i.e., Pseudo-nitzschia spp.) have been reported from many U.S. coastal regions, and are now recognized as a public health concern through their contamination of seafood resources. However, it has become increasingly clear that toxic Pseudo-nitzschia species also pose a wider threat to coastal ecosystems based on their association with unusual mortality events involving marine birds and mammals. In order to describe the process by which domoic acid is moved through marine food webs, it is imperative that robust, reliable methods of toxin detection be established. We have adopted a tiered approach to domoic acid detection in diverse sample types (e.g., plankton, seawater, invertebrates, fish, mammals) involving a high throughput receptor binding assay and tandem mass spectrometry, which provides information on toxic activity as well as the unambiguous confirmation of toxin presence. Moreover, innovative techniques for sample collection and extraction of domoic acid from specific matrices have been established that yield high quality samples and optimize our toxin detection capabilities. Finally, methods for the automated, in-situ collection of plankton samples for toxin analysis are under development, with the ultimate aim being remote detection of domoic acid.

Seasonal changes in prey composition and predatory impact were investigated by analysing stomach contents. The dominant prey organisms of A. aurita were several cladoceran species (Bosmina coregoni maritima, Evadne nordmanni and Podon spp.). They represented up to 93% of the food organisms. Bivalve larvae and copepods (Centropages hamatus, Temora longicornis, Acartia spp., Pseudocalanus acuspes, Eurytemora hirundoides and Oithona similis) were less frequently found. Nauplii and copepodites I-III were not eaten by the medusae neither were fish eggs and larvae used as prey. Based on average medusae and zooplankton abundance, the predatory impact was very low. In August, when mean abundance of A. aurita was highest, only 0.1% of the copepod and 0.54% of the cladoceran standing stock were eaten per day. However in regions

Tiny ripples in the rust-colored sand march farther than the eye can see, to a horizon so fl at one might be able to see the curvature of the planet. As far as anyone knows, those ripples have not budged in eons.

The scene is from Meridiani Planum, composed from eight images captured by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity just before she reached a deep crater named Victoria, on the 950th Martian day of her mission.

  • The Magellan Spacecraft at Venus by Andrew Fraknoi, Astronomical Society of the Pacific
    www.astrosociety.org/uitc No. 18 - Fall 1991 © 1991, Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 390 Ashton Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94112. The Magellan Spacecraft at Venus by Andrew Fraknoi, Astronomical Society of the Pacific "Having finally penetrated below the clouds of Venus, we find its surface to be naked [not hidden], revealing the history of hundreds of millions of years of geological activity. Venus is a geologist's dream planet.'' —Astronomer David Morrison This fall, the brightest star-like object you can see in the eastern skies before dawn isn't a star at all — it's Venus, the second closest planet to the Sun. Because Venus is so similar in diameter and mass to our world, and also has a gaseous atmosphere, it has been called the Earth's "sister planet''. Many years ago, scientists expected its surface, which is perpetually hidden beneath a thick cloud layer, to look like Earth's as well. Earlier this century, some people even imagined that Venus was a hot, humid, swampy world populated by prehistoric creatures! But we now know Venus is very, very different. New radar images of Venus, just returned from NASA's Magellan spacecraft orbiting the planet, have provided astronomers the clearest view ever of its surface, revealing unique geological features, meteor impact craters, and evidence of volcanic eruptions different from any others found in the solar system. This issue of The Universe in the Classroom is devoted to what Magellan is teaching us today about our nearest neighbor, Venus. Where is Venus, and what is it like? Spacecraft exploration of Venus's surface Magellan — a "recycled'' spacecraft How does Magellan take pictures through the clouds? What has Magellan revealed about Venus? How does Venus' surface compare with Earth's? What is the next step in Magellan's mission? If Venus is such an uninviting place, why are we interested in it? Reading List Why is it so hot on Venus? Where is Venus, and what is it like? Venus orbits the Sun in a nearly circular path between Mercury and the Earth, about 3/4 as far from our star as the Earth is.

  • Blooms of the Pelagic Tunicate, <I>Dolioletta Gegenbauri:</I> Are
    Journal of Marine Research, 43, 211-236,1985 Blooms of the pelagic tunicate, Dolioletta gegenbauri: Are they associated with Gulf Stream frontal eddies? I 2 by Don Deibel • ABSTRACT Satellite-directed sampling was used to determine whether blooms of Do/ioletta gegenbauri are associated with warm filaments of Gulf Stream frontal eddies. Radio-transmitting drogues were used to mark the center of the bloom so that physical and biological covariables could be measured inside and outside of bloom waters. The bloom was not in the warm filament of a frontal eddy, but was 60 - 70 km northwest of the temperature front between outer-shelf water and the Gulf Stream-in upwelled water probably originating from the eddy's cold core. This cold-core remnant (CCR) water was stranded between 2 middle-shelf fronts. The doliolid bloom resulted from the asexual production of gonozooids by the oozooid stage. This occurred primarily in the nearshore temperature and salinity front and in or beneath the pycnocline between CCR and overriding outer-shelf surface water. Several of the doliolid populations were estimated to be capable of clearing 40-120% of their resident water volume each day-removing particles of less than 50 J.Lm equivalent spherical diameter. Their removal of small particles is thought to be one of the primary reasons for poor copepod recruitment and low net zooplankton concentrations in the midst of doliolid blooms. The phytoplankton community was co-dominated by dinoflagellates and diatoms. indicating the strong influence of the Gulf Stream in these mid-shelf waters. Dominant diatoms were Thalassiosira subti/is and Rhizosolenia sp., both typical of Gulf Stream upwelling in the Georgia Bight.
