It was prepared with the idea that it would be used by scientists and educators interested in the Keys. The majority of citations are references to works about marine invertebrates and flora, with a substantial number of citations to works about oceanography, geology, meteorology, marine mammals and fishes, and terrestrial flora and fauna. The bibliography was compiled from searches in the DIALOG online databases conducted in February and March of 1991. Additional citations came from suggestions from individuals who critiqued the first draft. The following list shows the databases searched and the time period coverage of each: AGRIBUSINESS USA (1985-1990) AGRICOLA·(l979- ) AQUACULTURE (1970-1984) AQUATIC SCIENCES & FISHERIES ABSTRACTS (1978-1990) BIOSIS PREVIEWS (1969- ) CAB ABSTRACTS (1972- ) CHEMSEARCH (1965- ) CONFERENCE PAPERS (1973- ) CRIS/USDA (CURRENT RESEARCH INFORMATION SYSTEM (Current) DISSERTATION ABSTRACTS (1861- ) ENERGY SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY (1974- ) ENERGYLINE (1971- ) ENVIROLINE (1971- ) ENVIRONMENTAL BIBLIOGRAPHY (1973- ) GEOARCHIVE (1974- ) INSPEC (1969- ) LIFE SCIENCES COLLECTION (1978- ) METEOROLOGICAL & GEOASTROPHYSICAL ABSTRACTS (1972- ) NTIS (NATIONAL TECHNICAL INFORMATION SERVICE) (1964- ) OCEANIC ABSTRACTS (1964- ) PASCAL (1973- ) POLLUTION ABSTRACTS (1970- ) SCISEARCH (1974- ) SSIE CURRENT RESEARCH (1978-1982) WATER RESOURCES ABSTRACTS (1968- ) The bibliography was prepared using ProCite and Word Perfect software. The citations were downloaded from Dialog to ProCite where they were put into rough bibliographic form. The final version was edited and indexed using Word Perfect and the 13th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style. iii We would like to thank everyone who reviewed the initial draft of this document and provided criticisms and suggestions. In particular we would like to thank Fred Lehrer of the Archbold Biological Station for his suggestions for additions to the bibliography and on the format of the index. We would also like to thank Dr. Elaine Collins of the National Oceanographic Data Center for her numerous suggestions and editing. Thanks also are due to Commander Alan R. Bunn of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary for permission to publish the results of the original searches. The cover photo is from a poster developed for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. This bibliography is available in paper copy as well as a WordPerfect file. To obtain an IBM-compatible electronic copy send a formatted, high-density floppy diskette (either 3.5" or 5.25") along with your request.

Abbott, R. T. 1976. "Cittarium pica 'Trochidae in Florida USA." Nautilus 90 (1) : 24 Recent reports of living specimens of the West Indian trochid, C. pica (Linne), at various localities along the shores of Marathon and Molasses Keys seem to substantiate the fact that this species has become established, at least temporarily, along the Florida Keys [USA]. Whether they were introduced from the West Indies purposefully or accidentally, or whether they arrived as floating larvae will probably never be ascertained. 2. Alam, M., and J. S. Bergmann. 1981.

Bulletin of Marine Science 30 (1): 21-33 Postlarval shrimp of the genus Penaeus [P. aztecus and P. brasiliensis] were sampled for 32 mo. (Jan. 1966-Aug. 1968) at Whale Harbor Channel in the Florida Keys. Most postlarvae were pink shrimp P. duorarum; the majority had 3 dorsal rostral spines and were approximately 7.5 mm total length. P. duorarum postlarvae occurred year-round but were generally most abundant from April-Sept. The seasonal high in postlarval abundance was probably related to the annual increase in water temperature on the offshore spawning grounds and to the annual rise in sea level in the Florida Bay area. Seasonal abundances of postlarvae at Whale Harbor Channel were closely related to abundances of early juvenile P. duorarum on the Florida Bay nursery grounds. The juveniles are recruits to the offshore Tortugas shrimp fishery located west of Key West, Florida. 5. Anderson, D. G. 1970.

Public Works 112 (4): 66-67 A reverse osmosis plant leased by the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority supplies Key West with an additional three mgd of drinking water. A pipeline from Florida City on the mainland is the city's primary water supply source. The plant was designed to reduce the total dissolved solids loading from 38,000 mg/liter to less than 500 mg/liter. A permeator is the actual mechanism that removes dissolved solids from the water. Every cylindrical permeator contains a million or more hollow fibers which act as filtering membranes. Dissolved salts and other minerals in the feedwater are continuously flushed out of the permeator as reject water. The permeator has removed at least 98.5% of the dissolved solids. Plastic and stainless steel are used throughout the plant to resist salt water corrosion. Post-treatment of the water includes degasi.fication to remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, and the pH is adjusted to 7.5 before the water is stored. 12. Anonymous. 1981. "Largest reverse osmosis plant in the western world online." Journal of the American Water Works Association 73 (5) : 32-34 The largest seawater reverse osmosis plant in the Western Hemisphere will be built to serve the Florida Keys, which.now depend on an antiquated 18 in. diameter pipeline from the mainland. A new 36 in. pipeline will be constructed by 1984 at the earliest, and the three mgd seawater desalination plant will help meet the resident and tourist water needs until that time. The plant will use permeators to treat seawater with approximately 38,000 milligrams/liter of total dissolved solids. Following pretreatment and treatment by a single pass through the permeators, the water will be potable and contain less than 500 milligrams/liter of total dissolved solids. Each permeator contains a million or more hollow fibers that act as membranes. Water fed into one end of the permeator 2 circulates under pressure around the bundle of fibers, forcing the freshwater through the walls of the fibers, after which it is collected as product water. 13.
