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...

The transport of oyster larvae in an estuary
Vertical and horizontal distributions of 3 larval stages of the oyster Crassostrea virginica were measured concurrently with phytoplankton species compositions, phytoplankton size distributions and physical hydro...

Light-shade adaptation by the oceanic dinoflagellates Pyrocystis noctiluca and P. fusiformis
Species-specific rates of photosynthetic carbon uptake (P), chlorophyll a content and P versus irradiance (P-I), have been measured for cells of Pyrocystis noctiluca and P. fusiformis isolated from natural popula...

Phytoplankton patchiness and frontal regions
In the Chesapeake Bay estuary there are persistent seasonal frontal and interfrontal regions that serve to deliver and retain different phytoplankton populations. The “patchiness” of phytoplankton, both in tot...

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...
