Benthic metabolism in a natural coastal petroleum seep
(InterResearch, 1986)
The rates of 3 processes known to be mediated by microbial metabolic activity were measured in the sediments of a shallow-water (18 m depth) natural petroleum seep and a nearby non- seep area near Santa Barbara, California. ...
Live controls for radioisotope tracer food chain experiments using meiofauna
(InterResearch, 1983)
malin poisoned samples are inadequate for measuring the amount of label to be subtracted as control values for certain food chain studies that employ radioactive tracers. In some studies, tracer is added just before ...
Temporal variability and the relationship between benthic meiofaunal and microbial populations of a natural coastal petroleum seep
(Yale Peabody Museum, 1987)
Previous studies of the Isla Vista petroleum seep in the Santa Barbara Channel found much higher abundances of macrofauna and concentrations of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in sediments near petroleum seepage compared to ...
Vertical distribution of microbial and meiofaunal populations in sediments of a natural coastal hydrocarbon seep
(Yale Peabody Museum, 1989)
We studied the vertical distribution of microbes and meiofauna in natural hydrocarbon seep sediments to determine if there was a relationship between profiles of benthic trophic structure and the unique biogeochemical ...
In situ measurement of meiobenthic grazing rates on sediment bacteria and edaphic diatoms
(InterResearch, 1984)
A radioactive tracer technique was used to measure meiofaunal grazing on bacteria and diatom communities in natural sediments. Radioactive '4C-glucose and 14C-bicarbonate were used to label heterotrophs (bacteria) and ...
Sampling Design and Enumeration Statistics for Bacteria Extracted from Marine Sediments
(American Society for Microbiology, 1982)
The spatial and temporal distributions of marine bacteria were studied at both a muddy and a sandy subtidal site in North Inlet, S.C. The sampling design was hierarchical, since subsampling (by a dilution series) of the ...
Arctic Sea Ice Fauna1 Assemblage: First Approach to Description and Source of the Underice Meiofauna
(InterResearch, 1982)
The ice meiofaunal assemblage in shallow Stefansson Sound off the northern coast of Alaska included Polychaeta, Nematoda. Rotifera and Crustacea. The crustaceans conlprised calanoid copepods, nauplii, 2 species of harpacticoids ...
