THE IRISH SLATE QUARRYING INDUSTRY The importance of slate as a commercial commodity was highlighted during the mining ‘boom’ of 1824-25, when several Ireland originally obtained slate, utilised as a roofing material, Irish companies scrambled to obtain the leases of slate quarries for flooring slabs and as lintels, from numerous local quarries across the island.

  • Journal of Sherkin Island the Occurrence of the Red-Tide Organism, Gyrodinium Aureolum Hulburt (Dinophyceae), Around the South A
    Journal of Sherkin Island The occurrence of the red-tide organism, Gyrodinium aureolum Hulburt (Dinophyceae), around the south and west of Ireland in August and Sept­ ember, 1979. by Ian R. Jenkinson Department of Oceanography, University College, Galway and Pat Paul Connors Sherkin Island Marine Station, Baltimore, Co. Cork Transcript of a paper read at a seminar The Need For Marine Research', at Sherkin Island Marine Station, 11th - 13th September, 1979. INTRODUCTION Gyrodinium aureolum Hulburt is the dinoflagellate which was responsible for red tides along the south coast of Ireland in 197/6 (Ottway, Parker, McGrath and Crowley, 1979), in 1978 (Roden, Ryan and Lennon, 1980; C. Pybus, 1980; I. R. Jenkinson, unpublished) and again in 1979. It is known to achieve high concentrations in stratified waters (Holligan and Harbour, 1977), particularly within sharp density discontinuities, and especially near fronts (Pingree, Pugh, Holligan and Forster, 1975; Pingree, Holligan, Mardell and Head, 1976; Pingree, Maddock and Butler, 1977). On the south-west coast of Norway in 1966, red tides occurred with G. aureolum concentrations of up to 70x106/l, and during this episode, fish in cages were killed (Tangen, 1977). In 1976 there were again blooms of high concentration off the south-west of Norway (Tangen, loc. at.) in localities where fronts had previously been found (Eggvin, 1940). In 1978 a red tide occurred during late August in Dunmanus Bay, south­ western Ireland, and this was associated with deaths of caged fish (Parker, 1980) and many invertebrates (Leahy, 1980). On passage aboard r.v. Lough Beltra on August 27-28, 1978 (I.
