Time Scale Variations of Estuarine Stratification Parameters and Impact on the Food Chains of the Chesapeake Bay
There are three basic premises in this paper. One is that many species which utilize estuarine waters during part or all of their life cycle stages represent successful specific food chains for which the growt...

Inorganic carbon requirements of natural populations and laboratory cultures of some Chesapeake Bay phytoplankton
The rates of photosynthetic carbon fixation for some natural populations of Chesapeake Bay phytoplankton and for unialgal cultures of species isolated from those populations follow hyperbolic saturation kineti...

Phytoplankton cages for the measurementin situ of the growth rates of mixed natural populations
We have designed and tested phytoplankton “cages” in which captured natural populations can be re-suspendedin situ at their original site or at different sites. The “bars” of the cage consist of a membrane whose ...

Some limitations of thein vivo fluorescence technique
Thein vivo chlorophylla fluorescence technique for phytoplankton depends on the effective absorption and fluorescence quantum yield of chlorophylla. The range of variation in the ratio ofin vivo fluorescence: ext...

Growth and dissipation of phytoplankton in Chesapeake Bay. II. A statistical analysis of phytoplankton standing crops in the Rhode and West Rivers and an adjacent section of the Chesapeake Bay
It is possible to make statistically significant comparative measurements of similar sections of subestuaries under conditions where the large natural variations would mask all but drastic changes in the syste...

Growth and dissipation of phytoplankton in Chesapeake Bay. I. Response to a large pulse of rainfall
Approximately 90 Km2 of Chesapeake Bay contiguous with the Severn, South, Rhode and West Rivers were surveyed by in vivo chlorophyll fluorescence and captured samples following a large pulse of rainfall in summer...
