Biology The Whale Shark (Rhincodon typus) is the world’s largest living fish (<20m), found globally in tropical and warm temperate waters (Rowat and Brooks 2012). Coastal feeding aggregations are known from these filter feeders, where they exploit seasonal productivity of pelagic invertebrates, fish spawning events, and small schooling fishes. Although encounters are rarely associated with surface temperatures below 21°C, Whale Sharks are capable of withstanding temperatures as low as 4.2°C during dives to up to 1,900 m (Colman 1997; Duffy 2002; Afonso et al. 2014; Tyminski et al. 2015). Their reproductive ecology is poorly understood but associated with slow growth and late maturity and therefore a limited reproductive capacity. 2. Distribution Whale Sharks are distributed circum-tropically from approximately 30°N to 35°S with seasonal variations (Rowat and Brooks 2012; Sequeira et al. 2014). Several aggregation sites are distributed over all three ocean basins, with major subpopulations in the Atlantic Ocean and Indo-Pacific (Sequeira et al.

A 121 m deep well drilled in the central salar disclosed a complex evaporitic sequence of 12 salt crusts separated by 11 mud layers. In the lower half of the profile, thick halite beds alternate with thin mud layers. The mud layers thicken upwards and show clear lacustrine features. The thickness of the salt beds decreases markedly from the base upward. The bromine content of the halite ranges from 1.3 to 10.4 mg/kg. The halite does not originate from the evaporation of the dilute inflow waters of the Altiplano, which would lead to Br content of tens of mg/kg. The presence of halite of very low Br content (2 mg/kg) in a gypsum diapir strongly suggests that most of the halite deposited at Uyuni originated from the leaching of ancient salt formations associated with the numerous gypsum diapirs of the Altiplano. The deep and thick halite beds were probably deposited in a playa lake, as suggested by their very low and fairly constant Br content (1.6-2.3 mg/kg) and by the abundance of detrital minerals.

  • Decontamination of Spas and Wading (Kiddie) Pools Revised – June 2011 Brought to You by the APSP Recreational Water Quality Committee
    Fact Sheet Decontamination of Spas and Wading (Kiddie) Pools Revised – June 2011 Brought to you by the APSP Recreational Water Quality Committee I. INTRODUCTION The purpose of the fact sheet is to provide a generic overview of procedures to be used for the decontamination or annual maintenance of spas, hot tubs, swim spas and wading (kiddie) pools. If used for decontamination, the user/operator should check existing local or state regulatory agency guidelines. The following recommendations do not replace existing state or local guidelines. In the absence of regulatory agency guidelines, please refer to CDC Healthy Swimming recommendations. II. SUMMARY OF DECONTAMINATION CHARACTERISTICS 1. Decontaminate water, filter, plumbing 2. Drain, sanitize vessel, filter, plumbing then continue with water and /or filter media replacement and or treatment 3. Complete required documentation in cases involving an Accidental Fecal Release (AFR) accident or suspected bacterial outbreak or when decontamination is part of a general water replacement routine 4. Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be worn by operators during the decontamination process. See Precautions section for more information. This APSP Fact Sheet has been prepared from the best information available at the time of its publication and represents a consensus of the members of the APSP Recreational Water Quality Committee. The APSP makes no guarantee, and assumes no liability, in connection with any of this information. Moreover, it should not be assumed that every acceptable procedure is included, or that special circumstances may not warrant modified or additional procedures. Appropriate steps should be taken to ensure that the information is current when used.

Geological Evolution of the Red Sea: Historical Background, Review, and Synthesis William Bosworth Abstract The Red Sea is part of an extensive rift system that includes from south to north the oceanic Sheba Ridge, the Gulf of Aden, the Afar region, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aqaba, the Gulf of Suez, and the Cairo basalt province. Historical interest in this area has stemmed from many causes with diverse objectives, but it is best known as a potential model for how continental lithosphere first ruptures and then evolves to oceanic spreading, a key segment of the Wilson cycle and plate tectonics.
