AN - 67235612; 15683837 AB - Stings of fire corals, potent hydroids common in the Red Sea, are known to cause severe pain and they develop burns and itching that lasts few hours after contact. Nematocyst venom of Millepora platyphylla (Mp-TX) was isolated according to a recent method developed in our laboratory to conduct a previous investigation on the nematocyst toxicity of Millepora dichotoma and M. platyphylla. In this study, Mp-TX was fractionated by using both gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. Simultaneous biological and biochemical assays were performed to monitor the hemolytic (using washed human red blood cells, RBCs) and phospholipase A2 (using radiolabeled sn-2 C14-arachidonyl phosphatidylcholine as a substrate) active venom fractions. The magnitude of both hemolysis and phospholipase A2 activity was found in a fraction rich of proteins of molecular masses approximately 30,000-34,000 Daltons. The former fraction was purified by ion exchange chromatography, and a major bioactive protein factor (approx. 32,500 Daltons , here named milleporin-1) was recovered. Milleporin-1 enzymatic activity showed a significant contribution to the overall hemolysis of human RBCs. This activity, however, could not be completely inhibited using phospholipid substrates. Melliporin-1 fraction retained about 30% hemolysis, until totally rendered inactive when boiled for 3 min. The overall mechanism of action of milleporin-1 to impact the cellular membrane was discussed; however, it is pending more biochemical and pharmacological future studies.

Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) concentrations measured during the 1988 R.V. Knorr cruise show strong decrease with increasing density in the Black Sea and illustrate the very slow rate of ventilation of deep water in this basin. We develop a 3D numerical model based on the Modular Ocean Model (MOM), and calibrate it in a way to produce consistent simulations of observed temperature, salinity and CFCs. One important feature is the implementation of a special parameterization for convection, which is an alternative of the convective adjustment in MOM and handles the penetration of the Bosporus plume into the halocline. The model forcing includes interannually variable wind, heat and water fluxes constructed from Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set and ECMWF atmospheric analysis data and river runoff data. The analysis of observations and simulated data are focused on correlations between thermohaline and tracer fields, dynamic control of ventilation, and the relative contributions of sources at the sea surface and outflow from the Bosporus Strait in the formation of intermediate and deep waters. A simple theory is developed which incorporates the outflow from the strait along with the vertical circulation (vertical turbulent mixing and Ekman upwelling) and reveals their mutual adjustment. The analyses of simulated and observed CFCs demonstrate that most of the CFC penetrating the deep layers has its source at the sea surface within the Black Sea rather than from the Marmara Sea via the Bosporus undercurrent. Under present-day conditions, the surface CFC signals have reached only the upper halocline. Intrusions below 600 m are not simulated. The major pathways of penetration of CFCs are associated with cold-water mass formation sites, Bosporus effluent, as well as with the diapycnal mixing in the area of Rim Current. Future CFC sampling strategies coherent with the unique conditions in the Black Sea are discussed. JF - Deep-Sea Research.

A key question is what the effects of these hydrologic changes will be on the crocodile population. Reliable predictions of the viability of endangered species under a variety of management scenarios are of vital importance in conservation ecology. Juvenile American crocodiles are thought to be sensitive to high salinity levels, suffering reduced mass, and potentially reduced survivorship and recruitment. This could negatively impact the population recovery. We addressed the management issue of how the crocodile population will respond to alterations in hydrology with a spatially explicit individual-based model. The model is designed to relate water levels, salinities, and dominant vegetation to crocodile distribution, abundance, population growth, individual growth, survival, nesting effort, and nesting success. Our analysis shows that Everglades restoration, through its effects on water flow to estuaries, may benefit crocodile populations if increased freshwater flow reduces the chance that regional salinity levels exceed levels where small individuals lose mass. In addition, we conclude that conservation priority should be placed on reducing anthropogenic sources of mortality on large individuals, such as road mortality. Finally, research should focus on estimates of annual survivorship for large individuals.

AN - 17610190; 6142625 AB - Every winter, most gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus) of the eastern North Pacific stock migrate from feeding areas in the Arctic to warm, shallow lagoons in Mexico, covering a distance of 15 000-20 000 km roundtrip. It is hypothesized that this migration to warmer climes is undertaken to reduce the whales' thermoregulatory energy requirement during winter when food resources are low. Calves are particularly vulnerable as they have yet to acquire a thick layer of blubber. Prior to the mid-1970s, newborn calves were seen primarily in Mexico's lagoons. However, since 1980, shore-based observers have reported increased numbers of calf sightings north of Mexico. Calves were greatly under-represented in the shore-based records as rarely did more than one independent observer at a time recognize the presence of a calf and a strong nearshore preference was not evident from the aerial data. Although cows with calves were difficult to detect, significant increases in average annual calf counts occurred at two counting stations in California, USA; counts increased in the late 1970s at a station near San Diego (southern California) and in the mid-1980s at a station near Carmel (central California). This trend is probably more than an increased emphasis on reporting calf sightings over the years for two reasons: (1) The first reports of calves stranding north of Mexico during the southbound migration occurred after 1976; and (2) calves were absent during many of the earlier censuses, and when they were seen, most appeared near the end of each migration. In subsequent years, calf sightings spread through the respective seasons, first at the southern stations (sometime after 1969) and then farther north (sometime after 1980). Increased calf counts at the northern stations were strongly correlated with warmer sea surface temperature anomalies. The internnual increase in calf sightings may be related to the increased abundance of the population, to changes in ocean climate, or to both factors. A one-week shift in the timing of the south-bound migration since 1980 placed the mean passage date for pregnant females near Carmel at 8 or 9 January, coinciding with earlier estimates of median calving date (10-13 January). Assuming the median parturition date has not changed, this would mean that nearly half of the calving now occurs north of Carmel.

Incipient LC sub(50) values, the concentration at which the LC sub(50) reaches an asymptote and does not change with increasing duration of exposure, for H. azteca and C. tentans were approximately 60 and 40 mu g times L super(-1), respectively. Incipient levels were not reached for Diporeia; however, the 28-d LC sub(50) concentration was 95.5 mu g times L super(-1). There was a temporal relationship with respect to lethal body residues for each of the test species. For H. azteca, the LR sub(50), the median lethal residue at an identified exposure time required to cause 50% mortality, based on total fluoranthene equivalents (parent + metabolite compounds) decreased from 3.19 mu mol times g super(-1) at 5 d to 0.80 mu mol times g super(-1) at 28 d. For C. tentans, the LR sub(50) decreased from 0.43 to 0.17 mu mol times g super(-1) from 2 to 10 d. The 10-d LR sub(50) for Diporeia was 9.97 mu mol times g super(-1), and the 28-d value was 3.67 mu mol times g super(-1). The toxicokinetics are not sufficient to address the temporal changes in LR sub(50) values. Thus, the data were fit to a Damage Assessment Model that also accounts for toxicodynamic processes. This analysis provides estimates of the incipient lethal residues for H. azteca, C. tentans, and Diporeia: 0.84, 0.21, and 3.00 mu mol times g super(-1), respectively. When comparing the relative sensitivity among species using lethal body residues, special attention should be given to ensure that comparisons are made at a common point in relation to exposure duration (i.e., time to steady state, T sub(ss)). When the LR sub(50(lipid)) values among the three species were compared at steady state, C. tentans is more sensitive than H. azteca and Diporeia spp.; however, there are no significant differences between the amphipod species. The greater sensitivity of C. tentans to fluoranthene as compared to the amphipods may be due, in part, to a potential toxic metabolite.

Growth was determined using length-at-age data derived from otolith increments to indicate age in days from hatching. Growth varied significantly among months and between 1995 and 1996. In general, cod growth exceeded 0.2 mm d super(-1) and reached a maximum growth rate of 0.7 mm d super(-1) in May 1996. Haddock growth was also greater than 0.2 mm d super(-1) with a peak of 0.5 mm d super(-1) in June 1995. For cod, instantaneous growth rates of 3.3 to 3.5% d super(-1) were higher than those published previously for the Georges Bank region. Haddock growth was comparable to that of cod in 1995 (3.3% d super(-1)), but a higher growth rate for haddock (3.5% d super(-1)) in 1996 was probably due to an under-representation of larger sizes in the data available. Increased size-at-age was associated with higher temperatures for both species; however, the effect of temperature on growth appears to have decreased in May as temperatures exceeded 6 degree C and approached 8 degree C. Insufficient numbers of larvae of either species were available in May of 1996 for a similar analysis; however, cod growth during May 1996 was the most rapid observed in this study (0.7 mm d super(-1)). This corresponded to a period of high production of suitable food organisms, early stage Calanus finmarchicus, in May 1996 resulting from cooler winter temperatures and late warming after the winter of 1996, suggesting that cooler temperatures favor a prolonged period of food production for larvae and better conditions for growth late in the larval period.

Temperature has been proposed as a possible factor limiting the range of this introduction. To examine this hypothesis, temperature-tolerance studies were conducted following the chronic lethal minimum protocol, with death as the endpoint. Overall, the mean chronic lethal minimum was 10.0 degree C and mean temperature at feeding cessation was 16.1 degree C. Rate of temperature decrease and acclimation temperature did not have a significant effect on chronic lethal minimum or temperature at feeding cessation. When combined with mean February water temperatures, lionfish thermal tolerance data indicated that lionfish could overwinter on the southeast United States continental shelf, with a northern limit of Cape Hatteras and an inshore limit coincident with the mean 12 degree C isotherm, which equates to a 10 degree C minimum water temperature. The mean 12 degree C bottom isotherm also runs along the continental shelf break (200 m isobath), marking the offshore limit for lionfish on the southeast United States continental shelf. The current southern limit of the invasion is not bound by temperature, as lionfish could survive (but have not yet been reported) on the Florida coast south of Miami, throughout the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea, extending into the southern hemisphere. Possible reasons for the constrained southern limit may include planktonic transport mechanisms, patterns of juvenile and adult movements, and the initial lionfish introduction site.

To address this problem, we applied landscape ecology concepts and methods, together with conventional sampling techniques and path analysis, to test alternative hypotheses of linkages between marine nekton and landscape structure in Moreton Bay, Queensland (Australia). We quantified substratum structure at 3 spatial scales: (1) whole landscape mosaic (10s of hectares); (2) habitat type (benthic class) (100s m super(2) to hectares) and (3) within-patch scale (cm super(2) to m super(2)). Substratum structure at all scales was important for assemblage density and number of species, with the landscape structure of individual habitat types explaining more of the spatial variation than either within-patch structure or the structure of the whole landscape mosaic. Density and the number of species of seagrass residents were strongly influenced by landscape composition quantified as the proportion of all seagrass habitat (r super(2) = 0.40 and 0.48 respectively) and the proportion of long-leaved Zostera capricorni (r super(2) = 0.34 and 0.30 respectively) seagrass in the landscape. An abrupt decline in assemblage density and number of species was evident at <20% seagrass cover. More species of fish used mangroves with adjacent continuous seagrass beds than mangroves with adjacent patchy seagrasses or unvegetated sandflats. Several species of fish using mangroves at high tide were more strongly influenced by the spatial configuration of mangrove patches and the composition of adjacent substratum than the internal structure of mangrove patches. The study highlights the need for a hierarchical landscape approach when investigating animal-environment relations in marine landscapes.

[Part 76 of 87] T2 - CAPE WIND ENERGY PROJECT, NANTUCKET SOUND, MASSACHUSETTS. AN - 36370533; 11248-040529_0076 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of 130 wind turbine generators on the Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound off the coast of Massachusetts are proposed. The turbines would be located approximately 4.7 miles from the nearest point of land on the mainland (Point Gammon), the southeastern portion of the wind park would be approximately 11 miles from Nantucket Island (Great Point) and the westernmost turbines would lie 5.5 miles off Martha's Vineyard (Cape Poge). The turbines would be arranged to maximize the Wind Park's energy generating capacity to achieve a maximum potential electric output of approximately 454 kilowatts of renewable power. The turbine array would provide for sufficient spacing between turbines, ensuring a grid extending a minimum of 0.34 nautical miles) by 0.56 nautical miles. Power generated by each turbines would be transmitted via a 33-kilovolt submarine transmission cable system to the Electric Service Platform located centrally within the turbine array. The platform would transmit electricity to the shore via a submarine cable system consisting of two 12.5-mile-long 115-kilovolt lines extending to a landfall site in Yarmouth (Lewis Bay), which it would connect with an underground cable system near Willow Street in Yarmouth and, then, with the existing NSTAR Electric Barnstable Switching Station for distribution through the existing power grid. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS presents a proposal submitted by the applicant in November 2001. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project's interconnection with the existing NSTAR grid would allow wind-generated energy from the turbine array to be transmitted and distributed to users connected to the New England transmission system, including users on Cape Cod and the Islands. Hence, NSTAR energy generation would be diversified and the environment would benefit from a replacement of some energy generated based on fossil fuel combustion with a safe, clean source of energy. The project would create 154 jobs, generating $6.93 million in annual employment income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Array installation would damage benthic habitat, including valued shellfish habitat, and alter the geologic underpinnings of the seafloor. Avian species would suffer mortality due to collisions with turbine blades. The turbines would present a navigational hazard for ships entering and leaving the area. Archaeological resource sites could be affected by the placement of six turbines and seven portions of the inner array cable grid within the easternmost portion of the array. The array would mar visual aesthetics in the area, including views from a number of historic districts and individual structures and from recreational boats using Nantucket Sound. Noise associated with turbine operation would annoy recreationists and could affect bird populations in the area.

The turbines would be located approximately 4.7 miles from the nearest point of land on the mainland (Point Gammon), the southeastern portion of the wind park would be approximately 11 miles from Nantucket Island (Great Point) and the westernmost turbines would lie 5.5 miles off Martha's Vineyard (Cape Poge). The turbines would be arranged to maximize the Wind Park's energy generating capacity to achieve a maximum potential electric output of approximately 454 kilowatts of renewable power. The turbine array would provide for sufficient spacing between turbines, ensuring a grid extending a minimum of 0.34 nautical miles) by 0.56 nautical miles. Power generated by each turbines would be transmitted via a 33-kilovolt submarine transmission cable system to the Electric Service Platform located centrally within the turbine array. The platform would transmit electricity to the shore via a submarine cable system consisting of two 12.5-mile-long 115-kilovolt lines extending to a landfall site in Yarmouth (Lewis Bay), which it would connect with an underground cable system near Willow Street in Yarmouth and, then, with the existing NSTAR Electric Barnstable Switching Station for distribution through the existing power grid. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS presents a proposal submitted by the applicant in November 2001. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project's interconnection with the existing NSTAR grid would allow wind-generated energy from the turbine array to be transmitted and distributed to users connected to the New England transmission system, including users on Cape Cod and the Islands. Hence, NSTAR energy generation would be diversified and the environment would benefit from a replacement of some energy generated based on fossil fuel combustion with a safe, clean source of energy. The project would create 154 jobs, generating $6.93 million in annual employment income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Array installation would damage benthic habitat, including valued shellfish habitat, and alter the geologic underpinnings of the seafloor. Avian species would suffer mortality due to collisions with turbine blades. The turbines would present a navigational hazard for ships entering and leaving the area. Archaeological resource sites could be affected by the placement of six turbines and seven portions of the inner array cable grid within the easternmost portion of the array. The array would mar visual aesthetics in the area, including views from a number of historic districts and individual structures and from recreational boats using Nantucket Sound. Noise associated with turbine operation would annoy recreationists and could affect bird populations in the area.

In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS presents a proposal submitted by the applicant in November 2001. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project's interconnection with the existing NSTAR grid would allow wind-generated energy from the turbine array to be transmitted and distributed to users connected to the New England transmission system, including users on Cape Cod and the Islands. Hence, NSTAR energy generation would be diversified and the environment would benefit from a replacement of some energy generated based on fossil fuel combustion with a safe, clean source of energy. The project would create 154 jobs, generating $6.93 million in annual employment income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Array installation would damage benthic habitat, including valued shellfish habitat, and alter the geologic underpinnings of the seafloor. Avian species would suffer mortality due to collisions with turbine blades. The turbines would present a navigational hazard for ships entering and leaving the area. Archaeological resource sites could be affected by the placement of six turbines and seven portions of the inner array cable grid within the easternmost portion of the array. The array would mar visual aesthetics in the area, including views from a number of historic districts and individual structures and from recreational boats using Nantucket Sound. Noise associated with turbine operation would annoy recreationists and could affect bird populations in the area.

[Part 27 of 87] T2 - CAPE WIND ENERGY PROJECT, NANTUCKET SOUND, MASSACHUSETTS. AN - 36369319; 11248-040529_0027 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of 130 wind turbine generators on the Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound off the coast of Massachusetts are proposed. The turbines would be located approximately 4.7 miles from the nearest point of land on the mainland (Point Gammon), the southeastern portion of the wind park would be approximately 11 miles from Nantucket Island (Great Point) and the westernmost turbines would lie 5.5 miles off Martha's Vineyard (Cape Poge). The turbines would be arranged to maximize the Wind Park's energy generating capacity to achieve a maximum potential electric output of approximately 454 kilowatts of renewable power. The turbine array would provide for sufficient spacing between turbines, ensuring a grid extending a minimum of 0.34 nautical miles) by 0.56 nautical miles. Power generated by each turbines would be transmitted via a 33-kilovolt submarine transmission cable system to the Electric Service Platform located centrally within the turbine array. The platform would transmit electricity to the shore via a submarine cable system consisting of two 12.5-mile-long 115-kilovolt lines extending to a landfall site in Yarmouth (Lewis Bay), which it would connect with an underground cable system near Willow Street in Yarmouth and, then, with the existing NSTAR Electric Barnstable Switching Station for distribution through the existing power grid. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS presents a proposal submitted by the applicant in November 2001. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project's interconnection with the existing NSTAR grid would allow wind-generated energy from the turbine array to be transmitted and distributed to users connected to the New England transmission system, including users on Cape Cod and the Islands. Hence, NSTAR energy generation would be diversified and the environment would benefit from a replacement of some energy generated based on fossil fuel combustion with a safe, clean source of energy. The project would create 154 jobs, generating $6.93 million in annual employment income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Array installation would damage benthic habitat, including valued shellfish habitat, and alter the geologic underpinnings of the seafloor. Avian species would suffer mortality due to collisions with turbine blades. The turbines would present a navigational hazard for ships entering and leaving the area. Archaeological resource sites could be affected by the placement of six turbines and seven portions of the inner array cable grid within the easternmost portion of the array.

[Part 64 of 87] T2 - CAPE WIND ENERGY PROJECT, NANTUCKET SOUND, MASSACHUSETTS. AN - 36368863; 11248-040529_0064 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of 130 wind turbine generators on the Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound off the coast of Massachusetts are proposed. The turbines would be located approximately 4.7 miles from the nearest point of land on the mainland (Point Gammon), the southeastern portion of the wind park would be approximately 11 miles from Nantucket Island (Great Point) and the westernmost turbines would lie 5.5 miles off Martha's Vineyard (Cape Poge). The turbines would be arranged to maximize the Wind Park's energy generating capacity to achieve a maximum potential electric output of approximately 454 kilowatts of renewable power. The turbine array would provide for sufficient spacing between turbines, ensuring a grid extending a minimum of 0.34 nautical miles) by 0.56 nautical miles. Power generated by each turbines would be transmitted via a 33-kilovolt submarine transmission cable system to the Electric Service Platform located centrally within the turbine array. The platform would transmit electricity to the shore via a submarine cable system consisting of two 12.5-mile-long 115-kilovolt lines extending to a landfall site in Yarmouth (Lewis Bay), which it would connect with an underground cable system near Willow Street in Yarmouth and, then, with the existing NSTAR Electric Barnstable Switching Station for distribution through the existing power grid. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS presents a proposal submitted by the applicant in November 2001. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project's interconnection with the existing NSTAR grid would allow wind-generated energy from the turbine array to be transmitted and distributed to users connected to the New England transmission system, including users on Cape Cod and the Islands. Hence, NSTAR energy generation would be diversified and the environment would benefit from a replacement of some energy generated based on fossil fuel combustion with a safe, clean source of energy. The project would create 154 jobs, generating $6.93 million in annual employment income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Array installation would damage benthic habitat, including valued shellfish habitat, and alter the geologic underpinnings of the seafloor. Avian species would suffer mortality due to collisions with turbine blades. The turbines would present a navigational hazard for ships entering and leaving the area. Archaeological resource sites could be affected by the placement of six turbines and seven portions of the inner array cable grid within the easternmost portion of the array. The array would mar visual aesthetics in the area, including views from a number of historic districts and individual structures and from recreational boats using Nantucket Sound. Noise associated with turbine operation would annoy recreationists and could affect bird populations in the area.

[Part 16 of 87] T2 - CAPE WIND ENERGY PROJECT, NANTUCKET SOUND, MASSACHUSETTS. AN - 36368483; 11248-040529_0016 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of 130 wind turbine generators on the Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound off the coast of Massachusetts are proposed. The turbines would be located approximately 4.7 miles from the nearest point of land on the mainland (Point Gammon), the southeastern portion of the wind park would be approximately 11 miles from Nantucket Island (Great Point) and the westernmost turbines would lie 5.5 miles off Martha's Vineyard (Cape Poge). The turbines would be arranged to maximize the Wind Park's energy generating capacity to achieve a maximum potential electric output of approximately 454 kilowatts of renewable power. The turbine array would provide for sufficient spacing between turbines, ensuring a grid extending a minimum of 0.34 nautical miles) by 0.56 nautical miles. Power generated by each turbines would be transmitted via a 33-kilovolt submarine transmission cable system to the Electric Service Platform located centrally within the turbine array. The platform would transmit electricity to the shore via a submarine cable system consisting of two 12.5-mile-long 115-kilovolt lines extending to a landfall site in Yarmouth (Lewis Bay), which it would connect with an underground cable system near Willow Street in Yarmouth and, then, with the existing NSTAR Electric Barnstable Switching Station for distribution through the existing power grid. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS presents a proposal submitted by the applicant in November 2001. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project's interconnection with the existing NSTAR grid would allow wind-generated energy from the turbine array to be transmitted and distributed to users connected to the New England transmission system, including users on Cape Cod and the Islands. Hence, NSTAR energy generation would be diversified and the environment would benefit from a replacement of some energy generated based on fossil fuel combustion with a safe, clean source of energy. The project would create 154 jobs, generating $6.93 million in annual employment income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Array installation would damage benthic habitat, including valued shellfish habitat, and alter the geologic underpinnings of the seafloor. Avian species would suffer mortality due to collisions with turbine blades. The turbines would present a navigational hazard for ships entering and leaving the area. Archaeological resource sites could be affected by the placement of six turbines and seven portions of the inner array cable grid within the easternmost portion of the array. The array would mar visual aesthetics in the area, including views from a number of historic districts and individual structures and from recreational boats using Nantucket Sound. Noise associated with turbine operation would annoy recreationists and could affect bird populations in the area.

[Part 18 of 87] T2 - CAPE WIND ENERGY PROJECT, NANTUCKET SOUND, MASSACHUSETTS. AN - 36368307; 11248-040529_0018 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of 130 wind turbine generators on the Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound off the coast of Massachusetts are proposed. The turbines would be located approximately 4.7 miles from the nearest point of land on the mainland (Point Gammon), the southeastern portion of the wind park would be approximately 11 miles from Nantucket Island (Great Point) and the westernmost turbines would lie 5.5 miles off Martha's Vineyard (Cape Poge). The turbines would be arranged to maximize the Wind Park's energy generating capacity to achieve a maximum potential electric output of approximately 454 kilowatts of renewable power. The turbine array would provide for sufficient spacing between turbines, ensuring a grid extending a minimum of 0.34 nautical miles) by 0.56 nautical miles. Power generated by each turbines would be transmitted via a 33-kilovolt submarine transmission cable system to the Electric Service Platform located centrally within the turbine array. The platform would transmit electricity to the shore via a submarine cable system consisting of two 12.5-mile-long 115-kilovolt lines extending to a landfall site in Yarmouth (Lewis Bay), which it would connect with an underground cable system near Willow Street in Yarmouth and, then, with the existing NSTAR Electric Barnstable Switching Station for distribution through the existing power grid. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS presents a proposal submitted by the applicant in November 2001. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project's interconnection with the existing NSTAR grid would allow wind-generated energy from the turbine array to be transmitted and distributed to users connected to the New England transmission system, including users on Cape Cod and the Islands. Hence, NSTAR energy generation would be diversified and the environment would benefit from a replacement of some energy generated based on fossil fuel combustion with a safe, clean source of energy. The project would create 154 jobs, generating $6.93 million in annual employment income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Array installation would damage benthic habitat, including valued shellfish habitat, and alter the geologic underpinnings of the seafloor. Avian species would suffer mortality due to collisions with turbine blades. The turbines would present a navigational hazard for ships entering and leaving the area. Archaeological resource sites could be affected by the placement of six turbines and seven portions of the inner array cable grid within the easternmost portion of the array. The array would mar visual aesthetics in the area, including views from a number of historic districts and individual structures and from recreational boats using Nantucket Sound. Noise associated with turbine operation would annoy recreationists and could affect bird populations in the area.

[Part 82 of 87] T2 - CAPE WIND ENERGY PROJECT, NANTUCKET SOUND, MASSACHUSETTS. AN - 36367903; 11248-040529_0082 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of 130 wind turbine generators on the Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound off the coast of Massachusetts are proposed. The turbines would be located approximately 4.7 miles from the nearest point of land on the mainland (Point Gammon), the southeastern portion of the wind park would be approximately 11 miles from Nantucket Island (Great Point) and the westernmost turbines would lie 5.5 miles off Martha's Vineyard (Cape Poge). The turbines would be arranged to maximize the Wind Park's energy generating capacity to achieve a maximum potential electric output of approximately 454 kilowatts of renewable power. The turbine array would provide for sufficient spacing between turbines, ensuring a grid extending a minimum of 0.34 nautical miles) by 0.56 nautical miles. Power generated by each turbines would be transmitted via a 33-kilovolt submarine transmission cable system to the Electric Service Platform located centrally within the turbine array. The platform would transmit electricity to the shore via a submarine cable system consisting of two 12.5-mile-long 115-kilovolt lines extending to a landfall site in Yarmouth (Lewis Bay), which it would connect with an underground cable system near Willow Street in Yarmouth and, then, with the existing NSTAR Electric Barnstable Switching Station for distribution through the existing power grid. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS presents a proposal submitted by the applicant in November 2001. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project's interconnection with the existing NSTAR grid would allow wind-generated energy from the turbine array to be transmitted and distributed to users connected to the New England transmission system, including users on Cape Cod and the Islands. Hence, NSTAR energy generation would be diversified and the environment would benefit from a replacement of some energy generated based on fossil fuel combustion with a safe, clean source of energy. The project would create 154 jobs, generating $6.93 million in annual employment income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Array installation would damage benthic habitat, including valued shellfish habitat, and alter the geologic underpinnings of the seafloor. Avian species would suffer mortality due to collisions with turbine blades. The turbines would present a navigational hazard for ships entering and leaving the area. Archaeological resource sites could be affected by the placement of six turbines and seven portions of the inner array cable grid within the easternmost portion of the array. The array would mar visual aesthetics in the area, including views from a number of historic districts and individual structures and from recreational boats using Nantucket Sound. Noise associated with turbine operation would annoy recreationists and could affect bird populations in the area.

[Part 12 of 87] T2 - CAPE WIND ENERGY PROJECT, NANTUCKET SOUND, MASSACHUSETTS. AN - 36367661; 11248-040529_0012 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of 130 wind turbine generators on the Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound off the coast of Massachusetts are proposed. The turbines would be located approximately 4.7 miles from the nearest point of land on the mainland (Point Gammon), the southeastern portion of the wind park would be approximately 11 miles from Nantucket Island (Great Point) and the westernmost turbines would lie 5.5 miles off Martha's Vineyard (Cape Poge). The turbines would be arranged to maximize the Wind Park's energy generating capacity to achieve a maximum potential electric output of approximately 454 kilowatts of renewable power. The turbine array would provide for sufficient spacing between turbines, ensuring a grid extending a minimum of 0.34 nautical miles) by 0.56 nautical miles. Power generated by each turbines would be transmitted via a 33-kilovolt submarine transmission cable system to the Electric Service Platform located centrally within the turbine array. The platform would transmit electricity to the shore via a submarine cable system consisting of two 12.5-mile-long 115-kilovolt lines extending to a landfall site in Yarmouth (Lewis Bay), which it would connect with an underground cable system near Willow Street in Yarmouth and, then, with the existing NSTAR Electric Barnstable Switching Station for distribution through the existing power grid. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS presents a proposal submitted by the applicant in November 2001. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project's interconnection with the existing NSTAR grid would allow wind-generated energy from the turbine array to be transmitted and distributed to users connected to the New England transmission system, including users on Cape Cod and the Islands. Hence, NSTAR energy generation would be diversified and the environment would benefit from a replacement of some energy generated based on fossil fuel combustion with a safe, clean source of energy. The project would create 154 jobs, generating $6.93 million in annual employment income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Array installation would damage benthic habitat, including valued shellfish habitat, and alter the geologic underpinnings of the seafloor. Avian species would suffer mortality due to collisions with turbine blades. The turbines would present a navigational hazard for ships entering and leaving the area. Archaeological resource sites could be affected by the placement of six turbines and seven portions of the inner array cable grid within the easternmost portion of the array. The array would mar visual aesthetics in the area, including views from a number of historic districts and individual structures and from recreational boats using Nantucket Sound. Noise associated with turbine operation would annoy recreationists and could affect bird populations in the area.

[Part 36 of 87] T2 - CAPE WIND ENERGY PROJECT, NANTUCKET SOUND, MASSACHUSETTS. AN - 36367179; 11248-040529_0036 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of 130 wind turbine generators on the Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound off the coast of Massachusetts are proposed. The turbines would be located approximately 4.7 miles from the nearest point of land on the mainland (Point Gammon), the southeastern portion of the wind park would be approximately 11 miles from Nantucket Island (Great Point) and the westernmost turbines would lie 5.5 miles off Martha's Vineyard (Cape Poge). The turbines would be arranged to maximize the Wind Park's energy generating capacity to achieve a maximum potential electric output of approximately 454 kilowatts of renewable power. The turbine array would provide for sufficient spacing between turbines, ensuring a grid extending a minimum of 0.34 nautical miles) by 0.56 nautical miles. Power generated by each turbines would be transmitted via a 33-kilovolt submarine transmission cable system to the Electric Service Platform located centrally within the turbine array. The platform would transmit electricity to the shore via a submarine cable system consisting of two 12.5-mile-long 115-kilovolt lines extending to a landfall site in Yarmouth (Lewis Bay), which it would connect with an underground cable system near Willow Street in Yarmouth and, then, with the existing NSTAR Electric Barnstable Switching Station for distribution through the existing power grid. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS presents a proposal submitted by the applicant in November 2001. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project's interconnection with the existing NSTAR grid would allow wind-generated energy from the turbine array to be transmitted and distributed to users connected to the New England transmission system, including users on Cape Cod and the Islands. Hence, NSTAR energy generation would be diversified and the environment would benefit from a replacement of some energy generated based on fossil fuel combustion with a safe, clean source of energy. The project would create 154 jobs, generating $6.93 million in annual employment income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Array installation would damage benthic habitat, including valued shellfish habitat, and alter the geologic underpinnings of the seafloor. Avian species would suffer mortality due to collisions with turbine blades. The turbines would present a navigational hazard for ships entering and leaving the area. Archaeological resource sites could be affected by the placement of six turbines and seven portions of the inner array cable grid within the easternmost portion of the array. The array would mar visual aesthetics in the area, including views from a number of historic districts and individual structures and from recreational boats using Nantucket Sound. Noise associated with turbine operation would annoy recreationists and could affect bird populations in the area.

[Part 1 of 87] T2 - CAPE WIND ENERGY PROJECT, NANTUCKET SOUND, MASSACHUSETTS. AN - 36366265; 11248-040529_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of 130 wind turbine generators on the Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound off the coast of Massachusetts are proposed. The turbines would be located approximately 4.7 miles from the nearest point of land on the mainland (Point Gammon), the southeastern portion of the wind park would be approximately 11 miles from Nantucket Island (Great Point) and the westernmost turbines would lie 5.5 miles off Martha's Vineyard (Cape Poge). The turbines would be arranged to maximize the Wind Park's energy generating capacity to achieve a maximum potential electric output of approximately 454 kilowatts of renewable power. The turbine array would provide for sufficient spacing between turbines, ensuring a grid extending a minimum of 0.34 nautical miles) by 0.56 nautical miles. Power generated by each turbines would be transmitted via a 33-kilovolt submarine transmission cable system to the Electric Service Platform located centrally within the turbine array. The platform would transmit electricity to the shore via a submarine cable system consisting of two 12.5-mile-long 115-kilovolt lines extending to a landfall site in Yarmouth (Lewis Bay), which it would connect with an underground cable system near Willow Street in Yarmouth and, then, with the existing NSTAR Electric Barnstable Switching Station for distribution through the existing power grid. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS presents a proposal submitted by the applicant in November 2001. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project's interconnection with the existing NSTAR grid would allow wind-generated energy from the turbine array to be transmitted and distributed to users connected to the New England transmission system, including users on Cape Cod and the Islands. Hence, NSTAR energy generation would be diversified and the environment would benefit from a replacement of some energy generated based on fossil fuel combustion with a safe, clean source of energy. The project would create 154 jobs, generating $6.93 million in annual employment income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Array installation would damage benthic habitat, including valued shellfish habitat, and alter the geologic underpinnings of the seafloor. Avian species would suffer mortality due to collisions with turbine blades. The turbines would present a navigational hazard for ships entering and leaving the area. Archaeological resource sites could be affected by the placement of six turbines and seven portions of the inner array cable grid within the easternmost portion of the array. The array would mar visual aesthetics in the area, including views from a number of historic districts and individual structures and from recreational boats using Nantucket Sound. Noise associated with turbine operation would annoy recreationists and could affect bird populations in the area.

[Part 44 of 87] T2 - CAPE WIND ENERGY PROJECT, NANTUCKET SOUND, MASSACHUSETTS. AN - 36364883; 11248-040529_0044 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of 130 wind turbine generators on the Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound off the coast of Massachusetts are proposed. The turbines would be located approximately 4.7 miles from the nearest point of land on the mainland (Point Gammon), the southeastern portion of the wind park would be approximately 11 miles from Nantucket Island (Great Point) and the westernmost turbines would lie 5.5 miles off Martha's Vineyard (Cape Poge). The turbines would be arranged to maximize the Wind Park's energy generating capacity to achieve a maximum potential electric output of approximately 454 kilowatts of renewable power. The turbine array would provide for sufficient spacing between turbines, ensuring a grid extending a minimum of 0.34 nautical miles) by 0.56 nautical miles. Power generated by each turbines would be transmitted via a 33-kilovolt submarine transmission cable system to the Electric Service Platform located centrally within the turbine array. The platform would transmit electricity to the shore via a submarine cable system consisting of two 12.5-mile-long 115-kilovolt lines extending to a landfall site in Yarmouth (Lewis Bay), which it would connect with an underground cable system near Willow Street in Yarmouth and, then, with the existing NSTAR Electric Barnstable Switching Station for distribution through the existing power grid. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS presents a proposal submitted by the applicant in November 2001. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project's interconnection with the existing NSTAR grid would allow wind-generated energy from the turbine array to be transmitted and distributed to users connected to the New England transmission system, including users on Cape Cod and the Islands. Hence, NSTAR energy generation would be diversified and the environment would benefit from a replacement of some energy generated based on fossil fuel combustion with a safe, clean source of energy. The project would create 154 jobs, generating $6.93 million in annual employment income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Array installation would damage benthic habitat, including valued shellfish habitat, and alter the geologic underpinnings of the seafloor. Avian species would suffer mortality due to collisions with turbine blades. The turbines would present a navigational hazard for ships entering and leaving the area. Archaeological resource sites could be affected by the placement of six turbines and seven portions of the inner array cable grid within the easternmost portion of the array. The array would mar visual aesthetics in the area, including views from a number of historic districts and individual structures and from recreational boats using Nantucket Sound. Noise associated with turbine operation would annoy recreationists and could affect bird populations in the area.

AN - 16360627; 11248 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of 130 wind turbine generators on the Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound off the coast of Massachusetts are proposed. The turbines would be located approximately 4.7 miles from the nearest point of land on the mainland (Point Gammon), the southeastern portion of the wind park would be approximately 11 miles from Nantucket Island (Great Point) and the westernmost turbines would lie 5.5 miles off Martha's Vineyard (Cape Poge). The turbines would be arranged to maximize the Wind Park's energy generating capacity to achieve a maximum potential electric output of approximately 454 kilowatts of renewable power. The turbine array would provide for sufficient spacing between turbines, ensuring a grid extending a minimum of 0.34 nautical miles) by 0.56 nautical miles. Power generated by each turbines would be transmitted via a 33-kilovolt submarine transmission cable system to the Electric Service Platform located centrally within the turbine array. The platform would transmit electricity to the shore via a submarine cable system consisting of two 12.5-mile-long 115-kilovolt lines extending to a landfall site in Yarmouth (Lewis Bay), which it would connect with an underground cable system near Willow Street in Yarmouth and, then, with the existing NSTAR Electric Barnstable Switching Station for distribution through the existing power grid. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS presents a proposal submitted by the applicant in November 2001. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project's interconnection with the existing NSTAR grid would allow wind-generated energy from the turbine array to be transmitted and distributed to users connected to the New England transmission system, including users on Cape Cod and the Islands. Hence, NSTAR energy generation would be diversified and the environment would benefit from a replacement of some energy generated based on fossil fuel combustion with a safe, clean source of energy. The project would create 154 jobs, generating $6.93 million in annual employment income. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Array installation would damage benthic habitat, including valued shellfish habitat, and alter the geologic underpinnings of the seafloor. Avian species would suffer mortality due to collisions with turbine blades. The turbines would present a navigational hazard for ships entering and leaving the area. Archaeological resource sites could be affected by the placement of six turbines and seven portions of the inner array cable grid within the easternmost portion of the array. The array would mar visual aesthetics in the area, including views from a number of historic districts and individual structures and from recreational boats using Nantucket Sound. Noise associated with turbine operation would annoy recreationists and could affect bird populations in the area.

The Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) establishes a framework authorizing the range and type of measures that may be used to exploit the fishery, enumerates 18 objectives, under three broad categories, that management measure must satisfy, and describes more specific criteria for determining the level of harvest that will provide the greatest overall benefit to the nation. Fisheries subject to the management measures include limited entry trawl fisheries, limited entry fixed gear (pot and longline) fisheries, and a variety of other fisheries catching groundfish, either as target species or incidentally, but not license limited under the management framework established in the FMP. Allocations to tribal fisheries in Washington state are also identified. Eight groundfish species have been declared over fished and measures to prevent over fishing and rebuild these over fished stocks are a central element of the proposed action. The proposed action would establish harvest guidelines for groundfish species, species groups, and geographic subunits. In order to constrain fisheries to these harvest guidelines, management measures for commercial and recreational fisheries are identified. Management measures considered for commercial fisheries would include two-month cumulative landing limits for species, species groups, and geographic subunits for limited entry trawl and fixed gear sectors and fisheries not license limited under the FMP, as well as gear restrictions to reduce bycatch of over fished species and reduce habitat impacts. Management measures considered for recreational fisheries would include bag limits, size limits, and fishing seasons; these measures would vary by state. In addition, area closures, based on depth and intended to reduce bycatch of species would apply to both commercial and recreational fisheries that are likely to catch these species; these closures would vary by geographic region. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered for each of the following areas in this final EIS: limited entry trawl fishery, limited-entry fixed gear fishery and open access fisheries, tribal fisheries, and the Washington, Oregon, and California recreational fisheries. A preferred alternative is identified in each case. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The establishment of the fishery specifications would ensure that Pacific Coast groundfish subject to federal management are harvested in an manner by which sustainable use of these fishery resources can be maintained, supporting economic exploitation of the fishery and maintaining fishery stocks at appropriate levels for regeneration. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Commercial and recreational fisheries could lose significant direct ex-vessel revenues. Optimum yields for the over fished species could be exceeded, possibly requiring more severe restrictions in the future. Buyers and processors would also lost income. Communities, including tribal communities would suffer economic losses as well. Enforcement costs could increase.

Application to biomonitoring, however, has received comparably little attention. With the increasing threat of harmful algal blooms to both humans and aquatic organisms, their use as sentinels for early warning and for the examination of organism response in situ is evident. During efforts to monitor and describe the response of juvenile menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) to the reportedly toxic dinoflagellates of the genus Pfiesteria, we devised a simple, inexpensive cage for the conduct of in situ bioassays. This design, in combination with fish husbandry and transport techniques specific for menhaden, allows for rapid, inexpensive deployment of cages in at least a 4-h radius of the holding facility with an acceptable level of mortality and minimal caging effects. Here we describe their application in Middle River, Maryland, where a high prevalence of menhaden with ulcerative lesions was detected in the presence of Pfiesteria-like organisms in August 1999. In all cages, no mortalities occurred that were attributable to anything other than transport stress, and physiological and neurological variables investigated proved to be in the normal range for the species. This approach demonstrates the feasibility of using inexpensive cages for biomonitoring with a sensitive piscine species.

Population Characteristics. Current Population Reports. P20-553 AN - 62126046; ED484520 AB - The data in this report is from the Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC) to the 2003 Current Population Survey (CPS). The population represented (the population universe) in the ASEC is the civilian non institutionalized population living in the United States. Members of the Armed Forces living off post or with their families on post are included if there is at least one civilian adult living in the house hold. Most of the data from the ASEC were collected in March (with some data collected in February and April), and the data was controlled to independent population estimates for March 2003. The decades long decline in the proportion of family groups with children that were married couple families leveled off during the mid 1990s, at about 68 percent from 1996 to 2003. This change reflects declining divorce rates and reduced non marital fertility, especially among teens. Between 1970 and 1996, the median age at first marriage also increased but since 1996 has been fairly stable for both men and women. Basic trends in household and family composition, living arrangements and marital status of adults, and characteristics of unmarried couple households are presented in this report. A new section is included that highlights married couple families with a stay at home parent.

Based on China's own official estimates of demographic change, our intercensal analysis indicates a shortfall in enumeration of more than a quarter of all children under age 5 & an eighth of those between 5 & 9, a total of nearly 37 million children missing in the 2000 census. We show that the shortfall is primarily due to underreporting of children in the census. Sex differences in child underreporting were fairly minor. Child underreporting in China is not unprecedented, but child underreporting rates in 2000 were about triple those of previous censuses. We attribute the increase primarily to policy changes beginning in the early 1990s that held officials at all jurisdictional levels personally responsible for enforcing birth quotas. 4 Tables, 3 Figures, 1 Appendix, 38 References.

Using gridded drought reconstructions that cover most of the western United States over the past 1200 years, we show that this drought pales in comparison to an earlier period of elevated aridity and epic drought in AD 900 to 1300, an interval broadly consistent with the Medieval Warm Period. If elevated aridity in the western United States is a natural response to climate warming, then any trend toward warmer temperatures in the future could lead to a serious long-term increase in aridity over western North America.

A test of the Lagerstaette potential is in progress at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, Gulf of Mexico, where the Jurassic Louann salt intersects the sea floor at a depth of 70m. Here the brine has formed a 500m (super 2) anoxic lake 30-60 cm deep. Salinity in the brine is approximately 200ppt and the brine is rich in dissolved sulfide and hydrocarbon gases. In 1993, empty molluscan shells, sea urchins, crabs and wood were placed within mesh bags and deployed into the brine pool by submersible. In 1995 and 2001 (two years and eight years after deployment) experiments were recovered and the taphonomic condition of the remains were documented. Results show a distinct gradient in preservation that follows salinity, oxygen, and sulfide gradients. In the brine pool itself, the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, was recovered at 2 and 8 years with the soft tissue in excellent condition. The cuticle, however, was softened and decalcified. Down gradient from the brine pool where normal seawater mixes with the brine (lowering salinity to about 60ppt and increasing oxygen levels), crabs have cuticle present, but have lost all soft tissue. Mollusc shells are exceptionally well-preserved in the brine pool, but where brine mixed with normal seawater, shells were severely dissolved. The mixing increases oxygenation and promotes the production of sulfuric acid from the sulfidic brine. These mixing zones also promote thick growth of white filamentous bacterial mats (e.g., Beggiatoa) and the production of elemental sulfur. Bacterial mats have been suggested to act to enhance preservation. However, in the case of brines, the mats mark zones of highly active taphonomic degradation. Therefore, sea floor brine seeps are potentially responsible for exceptional preservation in the fossil record, but are likely ringed by zones of rapid taphonomic loss where sulfidic brines mix with normal sea water.

Favored explanations for the 80 ppm decrease in atmospheric CO2 that accompanied the Earth's glacial cycles involve some change in this biological pump at low or high latitudes. One way to study the pump is to reconstruct the vertical profile in the carbonate ion concentration, useful because the carbonate ion concentration is inversely proportional to CO2. Today the carbonate ion concentration is greatest at the tropical sea surface, low between 1000-5000 m, with a minimum between 500-1500 m. We extend our previous glacial reconstruction to make a complete profile of the glacial ocean from the surface to 5000 m, and reconstruct the entire glacial cycle (150,000 years BP to present) at the critical surface and upper ocean (1500 m) depths. We find that the vertical gradient outside the North Atlantic steepened in the upper 1500 m during glacial times. Reconstructions over the last glacial cycle reveal an 80 micro-mol/kg increase in carbonation at the sea surface during glacial times relative to present, a small increase (10-20 micro-mol/kg) at 1500 m, and little change below. The reconstructions have large (+10 micro-mol/kg) uncertainty and possible biases in absolute value, and are deficient in cores representing 100-1500 m, yet the major conclusion, that over much of the ocean, the carbonate ion concentration (and) CO2 gradient between 0-1500 m steepens during glacial times, appears robust. The change is large, well above measurement uncertainty, supported by different proxies, and is geographically widespread outside the North Atlantic. Mechanisms capable of explaining the increased vertical gradient in carbonate ion concentration include reduced vertical diffusion and thermocline ventilation (the primary mechanisms acting against the biological pump), and/or a stronger/more effective biological pump. Recognizing that over thousands of years the deep ocean carbonate ion concentration is essentially invariant due to the buffering capacity of calcium carbonate that lines the seafloor, the simplest explanation is that changes driven by the steeper glacial thermocline keep more carbon out of the surface ocean during cold glacial times.

These modern studies have focused on paleoshorelines and reefal structures that seem to be nearly ubiquitous along the distal portions of this carbonate ramp system. The application of new digital, high-resolution geoacoustic tools such 300 kHz multibeam, high-resolution seismic reflection and side-scan sonar profiling tied to meter-scale accuracy GPS navigation as well as high-definition bottom cameras mounted on improved, remotely operated vehicles have allowed us to significantly understand the roles of sea level, antecedent topography, substrate control, benthic biology and water-column properties from the late Pleistocene to Recent. This technology has allowed us to address a number of broad themes in the past decade which include: (1) the widespread development of oolitic sediments during the Last Glacial Maximum (MIS 2) sea-level lowstand as seen in lithified, submerged paleoshorelines (-60-70 m) and upper slope bedforms (-110-175 m), (2) the discovery of MIS 5a reefs (-10 m) along the outer margin supported by a terrace of unknown age, (3) the rapid succession of sea-level fluctuations producing multiple, bathtub-ring-like shorelines on the upper slope, (4) lithified shorelines (barrier islands) providing the hard substrate required to support coral-reef development, (5) the rim-to-ramp transition , (6) paleo-flow behavior of the Loop/Florida Current, and (7) the northern extent of relict reefal structures in waters today that cannot support reef growth. Finally, very recent seismic data have revealed extreme lowstand ( approximately 160 m) features that appear to be erosional scarps at some sites, but reefal buildups in others. Drill core recovery and subsequent rock analysis are the next steps as they would provide the missing sea-level and paleoceanographic historical details.

Specifically, the development of surface charge has been studied frequently as a function of pH, at the macroscopic scale. Data predicting the surface behavior of macroscopic crystals may not apply directly to natural, low temperature systems, where nano-sized crystals represent a major fraction of available reactive surfaces. Therefore, to accurately model and predict the role of natural nano-sized particles in the environment it is essential to understand the size-dependencies of mineral-water interface properties. This presentation will summarize our experimental and modeling efforts investigating the size-dependence of surface protonation, and pHznpc and IEP values of nanometer anatase (TiO (sub 2) ). A suite of anatase samples ranging in particle size from <5nm to 200nm were studied. Potentiometric titrations and electrophoretic mobility studies were completed, with the two experimental techniques matching as closely as the different procedures permitted. Titrations were performed in NaCl media at ionic strengths from 0.005 to 0.3 molality, at 25 degrees C. The surface charge of the anatase was enhanced with increasing ionic strength. Moreover, the experimental data suggest that the pHznpc values increase with decreasing particle size. The experimental results were rationalized using the 1-pK and MUSIC surface complexation models, in combination with a basic Stern-layer representation of electrical double layer (EDL) structure. MUSIC model fits were constrained by complementary molecular dynamics modeling results, which provided Ti-O bond lengths. To adequately model and describe the experimental data of the smallest particles at the lower ionic strengths, the spherical symmetry of the diffuse portion of the EDL must be accounted for.

The current phase of this cooperative research uses multibeam bathymetry and CHIRP subbottom data to study the geomorphology and processes controlling the distributions of surficial sediments and sedimentary environments. The geologic interpretations presented here, which are based on a digital terrain model produced from acoustic data collected during survey H11250G by the NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson, cover approximately 91 km (super 2) of the sea floor in eastern LIS and western Block Island Sound. The dominant glacial features in the study area are the northeast-trending Harbor Hill-Orient Point-Fishers Island moraine and another smaller, previously unknown, recessional moraine to the southeast. South-trending sinuous ridges and isolated bathymetric highs associated with the larger moraine are interpreted to be eskers and kames, respectively. Elevated lineations observed on exposed bedrock in the northwestern part of the study area, which trend 154 degrees to 162 degrees and parallel the striations and streamlined hills of onshore formations, show that the effects of glaciation on the bedrock continue offshore under LIS. Also, several irregular elevated lineations on the bedrock surface trend roughly 50 degrees to 62 degrees . These lineations parallel structural trends in the onshore Avalonian terrane and, therefore, may represent strike ridges. Strong tidal currents have scoured and redistributed much of the glacial and younger sediment in easternmost LIS, and produced large bathymetric depressions adjacent to the Race that exceed 100 m in depth. Degradational processes that cause the scour depressions include seabed erosion and mass-wasting, and effects of both processes are visible in the imagery as erosional outliers and talus piles. Asymmetry of transverse sand waves, barchanoid dune orientation, and scour around isolated boulders and a shipwreck indicate that net transport is primarily toward the west and into LIS in the northern part of the study area, but primarily toward the east and out of the Sound in the southern part.

The August 31, 1886 earthquake had an estimated magnitude of 6.9 to 7.3 and was felt over 2.5 million square miles. Earthquake events have been documented in South Carolina since 1698. Seventy percent of these are located in the Middleton Place-Summerville Seismic Zone (MPSSZ), 30 kilometers northwest of downtown Charleston. 137 earthquakes were located in the MPSSZ from 1996 through 2003. The risk from a recurrence of an earthquake of magnitude 6 or higher within the region is greater now due to changes in land use and population growth. Major hazards due to ground shaking and liquefaction during an 1886 style event could lead to an estimated 14 billion dollars of damage and potentially 900 fatalities with 45,000 injuries. The Charleston Seismic Hazard Analysis Consortium (C-SHACe) has been formed to investigate the potential seismic hazard risks in the Charleston region. This group is composed of university researchers and participants from various government agencies including; the USGS, NOAA, and FEMA. The backbone of this disparate group of participants is a novel data sharing exchange driven by Web-GIS. The National Map is being used as a portal for the exchange of geographically reference data sets and provides links to databases that are relevant to seismic hazard analysis in the region. CSHACe is divided into four working groups: Primary Data Acquisition, Hazard and Data Analysis, Seismic Risk Assessment and Data Dissemination and Communication.

Although this earthquake occurred prior to instrumental earthquake recording, detailed information on its effects exist in the form of insurance reports and maps of earthquake building damage. Previous workers (e.g., Robinson and Talwani, BSSA 73, 1983) have used this information to produce simplified maps of the distribution of earthquake damage and compare it to surface geologic conditions. We are in the process of updating this work using modern GIS technology to accurately georectify historical building locations with their current locations in modern Charleston and combine this information with geologic, soil property, flood hazard, etc., maps of the region. The goals of this work are: a) to produce a "ground truth" dataset of building damage and geologic site conditions for use in verifying results of seismic hazard and vulnerability studies in Charleston, b) to guide efforts to map near surface seismic velocities for future detailed seismic hazard studies, and c) to support site planning for Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS) strong motion seismometer stations. This presentation documents the efforts to collect and integrate existing historical data into the GIS system and presents how this GIS based data has been used to help emplace seismographs for the ANSS program. The historical information has already been used to guide the choice of locations of some ANSS sites, in turn; the data that has been returned from the seismometers is already yielding results. One ANSS site on the campus of The Citadel (C2SC) was chosen to be representative of the many artificially filled tidal creek channels that exist in Charleston. Geologically similar locations were sites of extensive damage in the 1886 earthquake. The other ANSS site at The Citadel (C1SC) is located on largely unmodified Pleistocene near shore deposits approximately 500 meters away from C2SC. Accelerograms from the November 11, 2002 M=4.2 offshore South Carolina earthquake show significant ( approximately 50%) amplification of ground motion at C2SC relative to C1SC, reflecting the usefulness of using historical information in choosing these sites.

Three field studies were conducted by an international team of scientists collaborating as part of the Intercontinental Transport and Chemical Transformation (ITCT) program, an activity of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) project of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP). Previous measurements have indicated that the transport of Asian emissions across the North Pacific Ocean influences the concentrations of trace tropospheric species over the Pacific and even the west coast of North America. In this special section, the recently acquired data are used to better characterize the contribution of continental sources to the aerosol, ozone, and related trace species concentrations over the North Pacific. This overview is aimed at providing the operational and logistical context of the study and introducing the principal findings and conclusions that have been drawn from the results.

Sand transport over mesquite areas displayed seasonal variability for most years. This seasonal variability roughly followed the variability of strong winds. Sand transport rates for collectors within a short distance downwind of mesquite bushes were small compared to those for collectors at the end of streets (elongated patches of bare soil) aligned with wind direction. The increased rate of sand transport (wind erosion) associated with mesquite is important because mesquite-dominated areas are increasing in the northern Chihuahuan desert and are therefore responsible for increasing land degradation (desertification).

An immunodominant extracellular protein, called major soluble antigen (MSA), is encoded by two identical genes, msa1 and msa2. We found evidence for a third msa gene, msa3, which appears to be a duplication of msa1. Unlike msa1 and msa2, msa3 is not present in all isolates of R. salmoninarum. The presence of the msa3 locus does not affect total MSA production in culture conditions. In a challenge study, isolates possessing the msa3 locus reduced median survival in juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) by an average of 34% at doses of <10 super(5) cells per fish compared to isolates lacking the msa3 locus. In contrast, no difference in survival was observed at the highest dose, 10 super(6) cells per fish. The phenotype associated with the msa3 locus and its nonuniform distribution may contribute to observed differences in virulence among R. salmoninarum isolates.

The sandblast treatment is applied to the ceramic bottom surface before bonding to the substrate, as in common dental practice. Specimens with polished surfaces are used as a control. Tests are conducted with monotonically increasing (dynamic) and sinusoidal (cyclic) loading on the spherical indenter, up to the point of initiation of a radial fracture at the ceramic bottom surface immediately below the contact. For the polished specimens, data from the dynamic and cyclic tests overlap, consistent with a dominant slow crack growth mode of fatigue. Strengths of sandblasted specimens show significant reductions in both dynamic and cyclic tests, indicative of larger starting flaws. However, the shift is considerably greater in the cyclic data, suggesting some mechanically assisted growth of the sandblast flaws. These results have implications in the context of lifetimes of dental crowns.

Groups of bacteria isolated from affected corals and inoculated onto healthy corals caused disease signs similar to those of YBD. The 16S rRNA genes from these bacteria were sequenced and found to correspond to four Vibrio spp. Elevating the water temperature notably increased the rate of spread of YBD on inoculated corals and induced greater coral mortality. YBD- infected corals held at elevated water temperatures had 50% lower zooxanthella densities, 80% lower division rates, and a 75% decrease in chlorophyll a and c sub(2) pigments compared with controls. Histological sections indicated that the algal pyrenoid was fragmented into separate segments, along with a reconfiguration and swelling of the zooxanthellae, as well as vacuolization. YBD does not appear to produce the same physiological response formerly observed in corals undergoing temperature-related bleaching. Evidence indicates that YBD affects primarily the symbiotic algae rather than coral tissue.

The members of this family are uncharacterized proteins with marginal sequence similarity to the T-protein (aminomethyltransferase) of the glycine cleavage system. To assist with the functional assignment of the YgfZ family, the crystal structure of the E. coli protein was determined by multiwavelength anomalous diffraction. The protein molecule has a three-domain architecture with a central hydrophobic channel. The structure is very similar to that of bacterial dimethylglycine oxidase, an enzyme of the glycine betaine pathway and a homolog of the T-protein. Based on structural superposition, a folate-binding site was identified in the central channel of YgfZ, and the ability of YgfZ to bind folate derivatives was confirmed experimentally. However, in contrast to dimethylglycine oxidase and T- protein, the YgfZ family lacks amino acid conservation at the folate site, which implies that YgfZ is not an aminomethyltransferase but is likely a folate- dependent regulatory protein involved in one-carbon metabolism.

Denitrification, net oxygen consumption and net nitrous oxide flux to the atmosphere were measured in three small rivers (discharge approximately 2-27 m super(3) s super(-1)) at the whole reach scale during Spring and Summer, 2002. Two of these rivers (Iroquois River and Sugar Creek in north-west Indiana - north-east Illinois, U.S.A.) drained agricultural catchments and the other (Millstone River in central New Jersey, U.S.A.) drained a mixed suburban-agricultural catchment. 2. Denitrification, oxygen consumption and N sub(2)O flux were measured based on net changes in dissolved gas concentrations (N sub(2), O sub(2), and N sub(2)O) during riverine transport, correcting for atmospheric exchange. On each date, measurements were made during both light and dark periods. 3. Denitrification rates in these rivers ranged from 0.31 to 15.91 mmol N m super(-2) h super(-1), and rates within each river reach were consistently higher during the day than during the night. This diurnal pattern could be related to cyclic patterns of nitrification driven by diurnal variations in water column pH and temperature. 4. Oxygen consumption ranged from 2.56 to 241 mmol O sub(2) m super(-2) h super(-1). In contrast to denitrification, net oxygen consumption was generally higher during the night than during the day. 5. River water was consistently supersaturated with N sub(2)O, ranging from 102 to 209% saturated. Net flux of N sub(2)O to the atmosphere ranged from 0.4 to 60 mu mol N m super(-2) h super(-1). Net flux of N sub(2)O was generally higher at night than during the day. The high flux of N sub(2)O from these rivers strengthens the argument that rivers are an important contributor to anthropogenic emissions of this greenhouse gas.

Larvae were captured in light traps and were swum in flumes at different experimental swimming speeds (of 5 cm s super(-1) intervals) continuously for 24 h. Logistic regression was used to determine the speed at which 90% of larvae were able to maintain swimming, and this was used to indicate the maximum sustainable swimming speed for each species. Maximum sustainable swimming speeds varied among the species examined, with the lethrinid maintaining the fastest sustainable swimming speed (24 cm s super(-1)), followed by the Pomacentridae (10-20 cm s super(-1)) and the Apogonidae (8-12 cm s super(-1)). U-crit (maximum speed) explained 64% of the variation in sustainable speed among species, whereas total length only explained 33% of the variation in sustained swimming. A regression fitted across species suggests that 50% U-crit is a good approximation of the speed able to be maintained by these larvae for 24 h. A model based on a cubic relationship between sustained swimming time and speed was found to be more successful than either length or U-crit as a method of estimating sustainable swimming speed for most of the species examined. Overall, we found that swimming speed is an important factor when considering the potential for active swimming behaviour to influence dispersal patterns, recruitment success and levels of self-recruitment in reef fish larvae and needs to be carefully considered in models of larval dispersal.

A cooperative study between NOAA Fisheries, local resource agencies, academic researchers, and the fishing industry has completed its first year investigating such effects in the Florida Keys (lobster and stone crab traps) and in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (fish and lobster traps). The project design includes: 1) mapping the distribution of traps, 2) quantifying trap densities by habitat, and 3) quantifying damage to corals and other structural organisms. Preliminary findings suggest that a relatively small percentage (<20%) of the traps set in shallow water (< 30 m) actually contact hard corals. More are found in contact with gorgonians or sponges. In this preliminary analysis, patchy damage was documented mainly on hard corals, at a scale less than the total trap foot print. Continued research will assess whether these preliminary findings are representative of coast-wide trap fisheries and will provide more precise data on trap fishing intensity by habitat type, seasonal movement of traps among habitats, and the potential for gear impacts to associated habitat components such as seagrasses, macroalgae, and sponges. Understanding trap-fishing effects on essential fish habitats like coral reefs at larger than local scales will improve resource management and lead toward more sustainable fisheries.

Chronic hypoxia during the summer has become a common occurrence in numerous estuaries, degrading nursery habitat and increasing the potential for exposure of juvenile fish to low levels of dissolved oxygen (DO). We conducted a laboratory study to investigate how hypoxic conditions and temperature affect growth rates of two juvenile estuary-dependent fish: the Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) and spot (Leiostomus xanthurus). For a 2-week period, we exposed the fish to one of four constant DO levels (6.0, 4.0, 2.0 or 1.5 mg O sub(2) l super(-1)), at one of two temperatures (25 or 30 degree C). A fifth DO treatment, included for spot at 30 degree C, allowed DO to fluctuate from 10.0 mg O sub(2) l super(-1) during the day, to 2.0 mg O sub(2) l super(-1) at night. This diel fluctuation approximated the natural DO cycle in tidal estuarine creeks. Size measurements were recorded at the beginning, middle and end of experiments. Growth rates were generally unaffected by low DO until concentrations dropped to 1.5 mg O sub(2) l super(-1), resulting in 31-89% growth reductions.

In the period 1976-99, the largest trend south of 20 degree S occurs during the January-March season, is positive, and is centered over southern Brazil. From 1948 to 1975 the trend is also positive, but with less than half the slope. The trend is not due to a systematic change in the timing of the rainy season, which almost always starts before January and usually ends after March, but rather results from an increase in the percent of rainy days, and an increase in the rainy day average. The dynamic causes of the trend are not obvious. It does not appear to be accounted for by an increase in synoptic wave activity in the region. The precipitation trend is related to a positive sea surface temperature trend in the nearby Atlantic Ocean, but apparently not causally. The trend in the Atlantic seems to result from a decrease in mechanical stirring and coastal upwelling associated with a decrease in the strength of the western edge of the circulation associated with the South Atlantic high.

All of our samples were temporally replicated, with most samples obtained in 2000 and 2001. We had three goals: (1) to confirm the status of populations identified on the basis of spawning location and life history; (2) to estimate effective population sizes and migration rates in order to determine demographic independence at different spatial scales; and (3) to determine if releases of Washington hatchery coho salmon in the 1980's into Oregon Coast streams resulted in measurable introgression into nearby wild Oregon Coast coho populations. For the last question, our study included a hatchery broodstock sample from 1985, after the Puget Sound introduction, and a 1975 sample taken from the same area prior to the introduction. Our results generally supported previously hypothesized population structure. Most importantly, we found unique lake-rearing groups identified on the basis of a common life-history type were genetically related. Estimates of immigrant fraction using several different methods also generally supported previously identified populations. Estimates of effective population size were highly correlated with estimates of spawning abundance. The 1985 hatchery sample was genetically similar to contemporary Washington samples, and the contemporary Oregon Coast samples were similar to the 1975 Oregon Coast sample, suggesting that introductions of Washington coho salmon did not result in large scale introgression into Oregon populations.

The basic, tricyclic phenazine ring system is synthesized in a series of poorly characterized steps by enzymes encoded in a seven-gene cistron in Pseudomonas and other organisms. Despite the biological importance of these compounds, and our understanding of their mode of action, the biochemistry and mechanisms of phenazine biosynthesis are not well resolved. Here we report the 1.8 AA crystal structure of PhzF, a key enzyme in phenazine biosynthesis, solved by molecular replacement. PhzF is structurally similar to the lysine biosynthetic enzyme diaminopimelate epimerase, sharing an unusual fold consisting of two nearly identical domains with the active site located in an occluded cleft between the domains. Unlike diaminopimelate epimerase, PhzF is a dimer in solution. The two apparently independent active sites open toward opposite sides of the dimer and are occupied by sulfate ions in the structure. In vitro experiments using a mixture of purified PhzF, -A, -B, and -G confirm that phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA) is readily produced from trans-2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxyanthranilic acid (DHHA) without aid of other cellular factors. PhzA, -B, and -G have no activity toward DHHA. However, in the presence of PhzF, individually or in combinations, they accelerate the formation of PCA from DHHA and therefore appear to function after the action of PhzF. Surprisingly, PhzF is itself capable of producing PCA, albeit slowly, from DHHA. These observations suggest that PhzF catalyzes the initial step in the conversion of DHHA to PCA, probably via a rearrangement reaction yielding the more reactive 3-oxo analogue of DHHA, and that subsequent steps can occur spontaneously. A hypothetical model for how DHHA binds to the PhzF active site suggests that Glu45 and Asp208 could act as general acid-base catalysts in a rearrangement reaction. Given that four reactions lie between DHHA and PCA, ketone formation, ring formation, decarboxylation, and oxidation, we hypothesize that the similar PhzA and -B proteins catalyze ring formation and thus may be more than noncatalytic accessory proteins. PhzG is almost certainly an oxidase and is predicted to catalyze the final oxidation/aromatization reaction.

During 2000 & 2001, two large data sets were collected from sessions in which paid users did travel planning using the Communicator systems that had been built by eight research groups. The research groups improved their systems intensively during the 10 months between the two data collections. In this paper, we analyze these data sets to estimate the effects of speech recognition accuracy, as measured by Word Error Rate (WER), on other metrics. The effects that we found were linear. We found correlation between WER & Task Completion & that correlation, unexpectedly, remained more or less linear even for high values of WER. The picture for User Satisfaction metrics is more complex: we found little effect of WER on User Satisfaction for WER less than about 35 to 40% in the 2001 data. The size of the effect of WER on Task Completion was less in 2001 than in 2000, & we believe this difference is due to improved strategies for accomplishing tasks despite speech recognition errors, which is an important accomplishment of the research groups who built the Communicator implementations. We show that additional factors must account for much of the variability in task success, & we present multivariate linear regression models for task success on the 2001 data. We also discuss the apparent gaps in the coverage of our metrics for spoken dialogue systems. 4 Tables, 13 Figures, 15 References.

AN - 67313044; 16425660 AB - To investigate the effects of 12 monthly average air pollution levels on monthly prevalence of respiratory morbidity, the authors examined retrospective questionnaire data on 2034 4th-grade children from 12 Southern California communities that were enrolled in The Children's Health Study. Wheezing during the spring and summer months was associated with community levels of airborne particulate matter with a diameter < or = 10 microm (PM10) (odds ratio (OR) = 2.91; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.46-5.80), but was not associated with community levels of ozone, nitrogen dioxide, PM2.5 (diameter < or = 2.5), nitric acid, or formic acid. Logistic regression was performed on data stratified into two seasonal groups, spring/summer and fall/winter. Among asthmatics, the monthly prevalence of asthma medication use was associated with monthly levels of ozone, nitric acid, and acetic acid (OR = 1.80 [95%CI = 1.19-2.70]; OR = 1.80 [95%CI = 1.23-2.65]; OR = 1.57 [95% CI = 1.11-2.21]; respectively). Asthma medication use was more prevalent among children who spent more time outdoors--with consequential exposure to ozone--than among children who spent more time indoors (OR = 3.07 [95%CI = 1.61-5.86]; OR = 1.31 [95%CI = 0.47-2.71]; respectively).

AN - 66723571; 15261399 AB - To examine the effects of environmentally realistic fipronil concentrations on estuarine ecosystems, replicated mesocosms containing intact marsh plots and seawater were exposed to three treatments of fipronil (150, 355, and 5000 ng/L) and a Control. Juvenile fish (Cyprinidon variegatus), juvenile clams (Mercenaria mercenaria), oysters (Crassostrea virginica), and grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio) were added prior to fipronil in an effort to quantify survival, growth, and the persistence of toxicity during the planned 28-day exposure. Results indicated that there were no fipronil-associated effects on the clams, oysters, or fish. Shrimp were sensitive to the highest two concentrations (40% survival at 355 ng/L and 0% survival at 5000 ng/L). Additionally, the highest fipronil treatment (5000 ng/L) was toxic to shrimp for 6 weeks post dose. These results suggest that fipronil may impact shrimp populations at low concentrations and further use in coastal areas should be carefully assessed.

It is suggested that public opinion researchers who disregard or fail to report survey non-response rates give the impression that they are attempting to conceal information. Four myths concerning survey non-response rates that must be dispelled are highlighted: a high non-response rate unavoidably damages a survey's quality; a minimum response rate must be achieved to produce valid survey results; non-response rates can simply be disregarded; public opinion research that is confirmed by external criteria should not be concerned with non-response rates. Noting the difficulties that non-researchers encounter in interpreting non-response rates, recommendations for facilitating these individuals' engagement with public opinion data are offered, eg, providing contextual information about survey response rates. It is concluded that reporting non-response rates in public opinion research is not a difficult task & will overcome the public's suspicion that public opinion information is partially disclosed. 3 Figures, 14 References.

Hourly grid-based NEXRAD (Next Generation Radar) Stage III precipitation data (approximately 4X4 km (super 2) ) were aggregated in time and space to daily precipitation at 1/8 degree and compared to the University of Washington (UW) daily precipitation data, which were gridded at 1/8 degree based on rain-gauge precipitation data. Comparisons of the temporal cumulative precipitation magnitudes indicate that the NEXRAD precipitation is smaller than the UW data and the rain gauge measurements. Hyetographs obtained from the NEXRAD data in general appear to be narrower with higher peaks. In addition, the NEXRAD data are better in capturing the precipitation spatial distributions than the UW data. Investigations of water fluxes based on simulations forced by the two types of precipitation datasets suggest that realistic streamflow simulations, compared to the observed daily streamflow at the outlet of the Illinois River at Watts, can be obtained if model parameters are calibrated. Compared to soil moisture of the total zone, runoff and evapotranspiration are more sensitive to the temporal and spatial distributions of precipitation, with runoff being most sensitive. Also, runoff and evapotranspiration obtained based on the NEXRAD precipitation data show more spatial heterogeneities than those obtained by using the UW precipitation data. Moreover, the magnitudes of the components of the water budget can be strongly impacted by the VIC-3L calibrated parameters, but their spatial distribution patterns may not be significantly affected.

To encourage collaborative research into appropriate levels of model complexity, the value of spatially distributed data, and methods suitable for model development and calibration, the US National Weather Service Hydrology Laboratory (NWSHL) is promoting the distributed modeling intercomparison project (DMIP). In particular, the project is interested in how spatially distributed estimates of precipitation provided by the next generation radar (NEXRAD) network, high resolution digital elevation models (DEM), soil, land-use and vegetation data can be integrated into an improved system for distributed hydrologic modeling that provides more accurate and informative flood forecasts. The goal of this study is to explore four questions: Can a semi-distributed approach improve the streamflow forecasts at the watershed outlet compared to a lumped approach? What is a suitable calibration strategy for a semi-distributed model structure, and how much improvement can be obtained? What is the minimum level of spatial complexity required, above which the improvement in forecast accuracy is marginal? What spatial details must be included to enable flow prediction at any point along the river network? The study compares lumped, semi-lumped and semi-distributed versions of the SAC-SMA (Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting) model for the Illinois River basin at Watts (OK). A kinematic wave scheme is used to rout the flow along the river channel to the outlet. A Multi-step Automatic Calibration Scheme (MACS) using the Shuffled Complex Evolution (SCE-UA) optimization algorithm is applied for model calibration. The calibration results reveal that moving from a lumped model structure, driven by spatially averaged NEXRAD data over the entire basin, to a semi-distributed model structure, with forcing data averaged over each sub-basin while having identical parameters for all the sub-basins, improves the simulation results. However, varying the parameters between sub-basins does not further improve the simulation results, either at the outlet or at an interior testing point.

Previous SWAT model simulations, uncalibrated and with moderate manual calibration (only the water balance over the calibration period), were provided for the entire set of watersheds and associated outlets for the comparison designed in the DMIP project. The extended goal of this follow up was to verify the model efficiency in simulating hourly hydrographs calibrating each storm event using the formulated approach. This included a combination of a manual and an automatic calibration approach (Shuffled Complex Evolution Method) and the use of input parameter values allowed to vary only within their physical extent. While the model provided reasonable water budget results with minimal calibration, event simulations with the revised calibration were significantly improved. The combination of NEXRAD precipitation data input, the soil water balance and runoff equations, along with the calibration strategy described in the paper, appear to adequately describe the storm events. The presented application and the formulated calibration method are initial steps toward the improvement of the simulation on an hourly basis of the SWAT model loading variables associated with the storm flow, such as sediment and pollutants, and the success of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) projects.

In this study, hourly grid-based NEXRAD (Next Generation Radar) Stage III radar precipitation data approximately at 4X4 km (super 2) resolution are used to compute daily precipitation at spatial resolutions of 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 degree based on an area weighted average method. Soil parameters at the corresponding six spatial resolutions are derived from the State Soil Geographic (STATSGO) soil data. The forcing data of daily maximum and minimum temperature, wind speed, and vegetation parameters are disaggregated/aggregated directly to finer/coarser spatial resolutions based on the University of Washington (UW) data, which are gridded at 1/8 degree spatial resolution. Our study suggests that a critical spatial resolution for the VIC-3L model may exist for the study watershed. For spatial resolutions finer than the critical resolution, one does not necessarily obtain better model performance in terms of runoff, evapotranspiration, and total zone soil moisture with increasing spatial resolution if the VIC-3L model parameters are calibrated at each spatial resolution. Also, model parameters calibrated at a coarse resolution can be applied to finer resolutions to obtain generally comparable results. However, model parameters calibrated at finer resolutions cannot result in comparable results when applied to resolutions coarser than the identified critical resolution. In addition, while soil moisture of the total zone is more sensitive to the spatial distributions of soil properties, runoff and evaporation are more sensitive to the spatial distribution of daily precipitation at the watershed being studied.

The model implementation is based on a topographically derived river network with spatially distributed sub-basins draining to each network reach. The river network is mapped from the US National Elevation Dataset Digital Elevation Model (DEM) using procedures that objectively estimate drainage density from geomorphic principles. Rainfall inputs are derived from NEXRAD (radar) for each sub-basin. For each sub-basin, the wetness index distribution is derived from the DEM. The initial model parameters for each sub-basin are estimated using look up tables based on soils (STATSGO) and vegetation (1-km AVHRR). These initial model parameters provide the spatially distributed pattern of parameters at the scale of each sub-basin. Calibration uses a multiplier for each parameter to adjust the parameters while retaining the relative spatial pattern obtained from the soils and vegetation data. Parameter multipliers were calibrated using the shuffled complex evolution algorithm [J. Optim. Theory Appl. 61 (1993)] with the objective to minimize the mean square error between observed and modeled hourly streamflows. We describe the model and calibrated results submitted for all basins for the time periods involved in the DMIP study. We were encouraged by the relatively good performance of the model, especially in comparison to streamflow from smaller interior watersheds not used in calibration and simulated as ungaged basins. The limited resources used to achieve these results show some of the potential for distributed models to be useful operationally.

Simulations are performed for two basins, the Illinois River and Blue River in Oklahoma. The r.water.fea model is an event-based model that derives parameters and is calibrated using geospatial data. Longstanding research on the Blue and Illinois River basins resulted in a calibrated model using eight events. In order to draw statistical comparisons, the number of events was augmented for the purposes of DMIP. Model performance is evaluated for the Blue and Illinois for the initial and augmented set of storm events. An important finding related to the stability of calibrated parameters from the original 8 to 18-event storm series was observed. As more events were added to expand the number of storms, parameter values changed only slightly. Beyond the calibration phase, a verification period was also used to test the validity of the calibrated parameters. Consistent results were found between the calibration and verification period. In fact prediction accuracy was better in some cases during the verification period, which adds to the confidence in the calibrated model predictions and the methodology. Interior points are used to identify internal model consistency and achievable accuracy. At the interior points located at Watts and Savoy, predictions were biased at Savoy but had better R (super 2) values than obtained at Tahlequah in terms of volume and peak. Watts had comparable bias and nearly identical prediction accuracy compared to Tahlequah. During the verification period for the Blue and Illinois, volume predictions had an accuracy of RMSE = 17 and 19 mm. Peak discharge in the two basins was predicted with an accuracy of RMSE = 105 and 292 m (super 3) /s, respectively. Closer agreement in volume than peak or timing was found in both watersheds, which may indicate the need for improved channel characteristics and routing. The peak discharge predictions achieved by this model in the Illinois during the verification period are biased towards over-prediction by 16% with an R (super 2) of 0.716. Peak discharge prediction accuracy in the Blue River during the verification period is biased towards under-prediction by 13% with an R (super 2) of 0.438. The performance demonstrates that geospatial data may be used to parameterize and calibrate a fully distributed physics-based model, and is capable of making reliable predictions at the outlet and at some interior points.

Toward this end and as a tool for the investigation, a distributed model, HRCDHM, has been formulated and tested as part of the NOAA Distributed Model Intercomparison Project (DMIP). This paper examines hourly flow simulations from HRCDHM applied with operational data obtained for the DMIP study watersheds. HRCDHM is a catchment-based, distributed input, distributed parameter hydrologic model. The hydrologic processes of infiltration/percolation, evapotranspiration, surface and subsurface flow (includes leakage to deep groundwater) are modeled along the vertical direction on a subcatchment basis in a manner similar to the Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting model, and kinematic channel routing carries the flow through the network of subcatchments to the watershed outlet, providing capability for spatially distributed flow simulations. Subcatchment physical properties are derived from various digital terrain and land-characteristics databases through GIS processing and they are used to derive spatially distributed model parameter values. The NWS operational WSR-88D hourly radar rainfall estimates (Stage III product with pixel scale of approximately 4 km) constitute the rainfall forcing and a combination of model-derived and observed hourly surface meteorological data are used to produce the potential evapotranspiration forcing. HRCDHM was applied to and was calibrated for five watersheds for the period May 1993 through June 2000. Validation was done with data not used during the calibration period. This application shows that: (a) the HRCDHM, when forced with hourly data, is able to reproduce well the observed hourly streamflow at the outlet of each study watershed; and (b) beyond these outlet locations, HRCDHM is able to reproduce adequately the hourly flows at several interior locations.

The TIN-based Real-time Integrated Basin Simulator (tRIBS) is calibrated and verified for the Baron Fork at Eldon, Illinois River at Watts, and Blue River at Blue over the period 1993-2000. Computational effort is significantly reduced by simulating complex watersheds using a multiple resolution mesh to represent terrain. Model performance is assessed by comparing streamflow predictions to observations at the basin outlet and interior gauging stations. In addition, simulation results describing the distributed basin response to atmospheric forcing are discussed, including the spatial and temporal variability of runoff, surface soil moisture, evaporative flux, and groundwater table position. By modeling the land-surface water and energy states and fluxes over the computational domain in an efficient manner, the potential for utilizing fully-distributed models at the scales of operational hydrologic forecasting is realized. Through the spatially-explicit approach, high-resolution remote sensing data describing surface properties, topography, rainfall, and soil moisture can be integrated directly into a predictive hydrologic model. A greater degree of physical interpretation of hydrological estimation can thus be added to existing methods of operational forecasting.

The use of distributed and physically based forecasting models can provide improved streamflow forecasts. However, for operational modelling there is a trade-off between the complexity of the model descriptions necessary to represent the catchment processes, the accuracy and representativeness of the input data available for forecasting and the accuracy required to achieve reliable, operational flood management and warning. Four sources of uncertainty occur in deterministic flow modelling; random or systematic errors in the model inputs or boundary condition data, random or systematic errors in the recorded output data, uncertainty due to sub-optimal parameter values and errors due to incomplete or biased model structure. While many studies have addressed the issues of sub-optimal parameter estimation, parameter uncertainty and model calibration very few have examined the impact of model structure error and complexity on model performance and modelling uncertainty. In this study a general hydrological framework is described that allows the selection of different model structures within the same modelling tool. Using this tool a systematic investigation is carried out to determine the performance of different model structures for the DMIP study Blue River catchment using a split sample evaluation procedure. This investigation addresses two questions. First, different model structures are expected to perform differently, but is there a trade-off between model complexity and predictive ability? Secondly, how does the magnitude of model structure uncertainty compare to the other sources of uncertainty? The relative performance of different acceptable model structures is evaluated as a representation of structural uncertainty and compared to estimates of the uncertainty arising from measurement uncertainty, parametric uncertainty and the rainfall input. The results show first that model performance is strongly dependent on model structure. Distributed routing and to a lesser extent distributed rainfall were found to be the dominant processes controlling simulation accuracy in the Blue River basin. Secondly that the sensitivity to variations in acceptable model structure are of the same magnitude as uncertainties arising from the other evaluated sources. This suggests that for practical hydrological predictions there are important benefits in exploring different model structures as part of the overall modelling approach. Furthermore the model structural uncertainty should be considered in assessing model uncertainties. Finally our results show that combinations of several model structures can be a means of improving hydrological simulations.

An extensive Monte Carlo numerical experiment was undertaken for several study watersheds in the southern Central Plains of the United States. It examined the sensitivity of ensemble flow simulations produced by the distributed model HRCDHM to uncertainty in parametric and radar rainfall input. The watersheds are associated with the Distributed Model Intercomparison Project (DMIP) organized by the US National Weather Service Office of Hydrologic Development. The model validated well in DMIP both for watershed outlets and interior points on various scales with Nash-Sutcliffe efficiencies of 0.6-0.9 for hourly flow simulations [J. Hydrol. (2004) 14504, this issue], and we expect that the qualitative nature of the results of this study are of greater applicability than for this model alone. The uncertainty scenarios included: parametric uncertainty involving multiple soil model parameters simultaneously, routing model parameter uncertainty, rainfall uncertainty under two different error distributions, and combined uncertainty in both parameters and input. The flow sensitivities are summarized in terms of a relative measure of the dispersion in the flow ensembles computed for each event, and for several watershed locations consisting of the watershed outlet and additional interior locations. The results consistently show that the flow simulation uncertainty is strongly dependent on catchment scale for all cases of prescribed parametric and radar-rainfall input uncertainty. Simulation uncertainty is significantly reduced for larger scales of distributed model resolution. The consistency of this result across the selected watershed locations allows for the development of scaling relationships between catchment size and the flow uncertainty measure. The derived scaling relationship may be used to infer pronounced small-scale simulation uncertainties in distributed hydrologic model applications. Several fruitful future research directions are identified including the incorporation of model structure uncertainty in the analysis.

However, uncertainty in model structure and parameters, which are distributed in space, and in operational weather radar rainfall estimates, which comprise the main input to the models, contributes to significant uncertainty in distributed model streamflow simulations over a wide range of space and time scales. Using the simulations produced for the Distributed Model Intercomparison Project (DMIP), this paper develops and applies sample-path methods to characterize streamflow simulation uncertainty by diverse distributed hydrologic models. The emphasis in this paper is on the model parameter and structure uncertainty given radar rainfall forcing. Multimodel ensembles are analyzed for six application catchments in the Central US to characterize model structure uncertainty within the sample of models (both calibrated and uncalibrated) participating in DMIP. Ensembles from single distributed and lumped models are also used for one of the catchments to provide a basis to characterize the impact of parametric uncertainty versus model structure uncertainty in flow simulation statistics. Two main science questions are addressed: (a) what is the value of multimodel streamflow ensembles in terms of the probabilistic characterization of simulation uncertainty? And (b) how do probabilistic skill measures of multimodel versus single-model ensembles compare? Discussed also are implications for the operational use of streamflow ensembles generated by distributed hydrologic models. The results support the serious consideration of ensemble simulations and predictions created by diverse models in real time flow prediction.

Postglacial conditions, characterized by warmer than present summer temperatures, prevailed in Baffin Island and NE Labrador beginning about 7500 and 7000 (super 14) C yr BP, respectively, resulting in warmer than present conditions throughout the region by 6000 (super 14) C yr BP (+0.5 degrees C to 1 degrees C). Further south, in Quebec and W Labrador, July temperatures were 1-2 degrees C colder than present until after 6000 (super 14) C yr BP, and only reached modern values after all residual Laurentide ice had melted. Increased summertime insolation and the final disappearance of Laurentide Ice during the middle Holocene probably caused July temperatures throughout eastern Canada to peak between approximately 5000 and 3500 (super 14) C yr BP. Mid-Holocene warming relative to today was more pronounced in Baffin Island and NE Labrador (+1 degrees C to 2 degrees C) compared to the boreal and subarctic regions of Quebec and W Labrador (<+1 degrees C). Over the past 4000 years, decreasing summertime insolation and colder sea surface temperatures in the Davis Strait and Labrador Sea contributed to a decline in July temperatures of 1-2 degrees C throughout Baffin Island, and the tundra regions of N Quebec and Labrador. The absence of similar cooling in the records from the boreal forest may support the notion that the mean position of the summertime polar front blocked the colder Arctic air during the late Holocene.

That report from a panel of experts suggested that it is important to examine the relationship between asset ownership in relation to poverty status. This paper suggests that debt is also an important determinant of economic well-being. While spending down assets can enhance income to make ends meet, servicing debt can be a drain on family income that would otherwise be sufficient to purchase basic necessities. This paper uses data from the 1996 panel of the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to examine these issues.

The use of observed or model-simulated radiative fluxes to diagnose the effect of clouds on climate sensitivity requires an accurate understanding of the distinction between a change in cloud radiative forcing and a cloud feedback. This study compares simulations from different versions of the GFDL Atmospheric Model 2 (AM2) that have widely varying strengths of cloud feedback to illustrate the differences between the two and highlight the potential for changes in cloud radiative forcing to be misinterpreted.

We examine these fields within a suite of general circulation models run to examine the sensitivity of the circulation to the parameterization of subgridscale mixing and surface forcing. We find that different models can explain relatively high fractions of the spatial variance in some fields such as radiocarbon, and that newer estimates of the rate of biological cycling are in better agreement with the models than previously published estimates. We consider how different models achieve such agreement and show that they can accomplish this in different ways. For example, models with high vertical diffusion move young surface waters into the Southern Ocean, while models with high winds move more young North Atlantic water into this region. The dependence on parameter values is not simple. Changes in the vertical diffusion coefficient, for example, can produce major changes in advective fluxes. In the coarse-resolution models studied here, lateral diffusion plays a major role in the tracer budget of the deep ocean, a somewhat worrisome fact as it is poorly constrained both observationally and theoretically.

As each hypothesis is based on a subset of available species data, each holds a degree of "truth." Yet can a composite controlling hypothesis be synthesized from these individual theories, and will it be useful for predictive ecosystem-based fisheries management? Here, we approach the question with two sets of models. The first are "minimum realistic" multispecies models, each containing the minimum complexity required to duplicate a particular control hypothesis. The second are "ecosystem-level" energy flow models, driven by the output of the minimal models, which will be used to ask two questions: (1) do the embedded minimal models produce ecosystem-level predictions which may be evaluated against supplementary data (for example, does the Oscillating Control Hypothesis for Bering Sea Pollock make verifiable predictions for other forage fish); and (2) do control hypotheses "collide" to produce emergent behavior with negative consequences for predictability? We suggest that, if the controlling factors collide, prediction should be approached in terms of "resonance." Regimes emerge as species life-histories interact with frequencies of variation, and dominant species groups at times control the expansion of resources (the wasp-waist) and at times buffer their collapse (the beer-belly). Under such a world view, "ecosystem-based" fisheries management does not fine-tune ecosystems to maximize productivity, but rather bounds expectations by predicting the long-term frequency and magnitude of booms and busts under alternative management policies.

In addition to correlative studies, process-oriented studies have elucidated the mechanisms by which environmental variability influences recruitment. AFSC scientists have applied the knowledge gained from these studies to develop stock assessments that incorporate information on environmental variability. Age-structured assessment models for Eastern Bering Sea flatfish utilize a relationship between survey catchability and bottom temperature. The assessment for Eastern Bering Sea pollock uses simulated surface drift patterns to forecast the size of recruiting year classes. Finally, a current-year recruitment forecast derived from data on precipitation, wind mixing, and advection is incorporated into the Gulf of Alaska pollock assessment. As the fisheries science community moves towards expanded use of environmental information in stock predictions, we will be faced with the question of what type of management measures we should take, given our understanding of environmentally-driven variability in stock production. For some stocks it might be most appropriate to vary biological reference points with each new stock production "regime". For other stocks, the best strategy might be to protect a portion of spawning biomass with no-take reserves. Yet other stocks might be best managed with a biomass-control rule that prohibits targeted fishing below a threshold stock biomass.

Within the past year, the Mexican Gulf States have joined HABSOS resulting in an international collaboration to monitor HAB events and response without regard to political boundaries. HABSOS encountered difficulties in data collection and integration in the formative stages. Communication pathways within the five U.S. Gulf of Mexico coastal states were non-existent or only partially developed. NCDDC found that not all data was publicly accessible, different units of measurement were used in the region for the collected data, and the information was stored in different formats. A data storage system was developed to incorporate the five individual coastal states data into one comprehensive database facilitating the ability to perform the time series function built into the HABSOS ArcIMS site. Currently, an on-line data entry tool is being finalized to aid in the continuation of data collection and storage.

A simplified dynamical model is used to show that the observed simultaneous deepening trend in both the Aleutian and Icelandic lows can be largely explained as a hemispheric planetary wave response to tropical diabatic forcing in the Indo-Pacific region. In the model, the extratropical storm tracks play a role in modulating the wave train, tending to enhance (weaken) the anomalous Icelandic (Aleutian) low in the North Atlantic (North Pacific) sector. The model results also suggest two ways in which the circulation trend over the North Atlantic sector could have been influenced by tropical forcing: one a direct, linear planetary wave response from the eastern tropical Pacific and the other an indirect response of the North Atlantic storm track to tropical forcing over the western Indo-Pacific region. The possible role of tropical SST warming and anthropogenic forcing is also discussed.

Bacterial Kidney Disease (BKD: caused by Renibacterium salmoninarum) is a focus because the infection is known to be widespread in fresh water, the disease is typically chronic (spawning females pass the bacterium to their offspring), and mortality in hatchery and naturally reproducing salmon populations can be high. Using DNA amplification (PCR) to detect the pathogen in juvenile Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and coho salmon (O. kisutch), we determined that the prevalence of infection is consistently higher in the northern study region (54.3% compared to 4.4% in 2000) and that infection prevalence in both areas varies annually as well as spatially (28.1% were infected in the NSA in 2002, compared to 15.7% in the SSA). In both these years, the percentage of infected fish tended to decline from early summer to fall, suggesting that increased mortality may be occurring in salt water. Infection prevalences were similar for Juvenile coho and subyearling and yearling Chinook. The spatial discrepancy in infection by this common pathogen suggests that salmon populations in these areas are partially segregated, which has been confirmed by genetic analysis (allozymes), although no physical barrier separates these regions.

In fact, soluble reactive phosphate concentrations in Florida Bay waters can be as low as a few nM. Sediments represent the largest phosphorus reservoir because Florida Bay sediments are dominated by carbonate, which has a strong capacity to retain phosphorus. The supply of phosphorus to the water column from sediment resuspension is potentially important in providing the nutrients required for phytoplankton production. Applying an improved sequential extraction technique to sediments collected from 40 geographically representative stations in Florida Bay, this study provides the first detailed spatial distribution of total sedimentary phosphorus (TSP) and its partitioning into five chemically distinguishable pools in the surface, fine-grained sediments of the bay. A strong gradient of decreasing TSP concentration was observed from the west (14.6 mu mol g super(-1)) to east (1.2 mu mol g super(-1)) across the central bay. The spatial pattern of TSP is consistent with distribution of both seagrass and phytoplankton that are limited by available phosphorus in Florida Bay. Among the five pools, the authigenic carbonate fluorapatite, biogenic apatite and CaCO sub(3)-bound phosphorus account for the largest fraction (45%) of TSP, of which inorganic phosphorus is the dominant form, and organic phosphorus accounts for about 30% in the western and north central regions and less than 10% in other areas of Florida Bay. The second largest pools are the refractory organic phosphorus (24% of TSP) and reductant-soluble inorganic phosphorus (19% of TSP). Readily exchangeable phosphorus accounts for 8% of TSP, of which organic phosphorus is 60%. Detrital apatite phosphorus of igneous or metamorphic origin represents the smallest fraction, only 5% of TSP. Spatial distribution of phosphorus and iron in sediments indicates that external sources of these two essential plant nutrients to Florida Bay are spatially separated with phosphorus introduced by west coast waters across the western margin of Florida Bay and iron from freshwater flow into the eastern region.

AN - 19798342; 8009764 AB - Based on the studying the abiotic and biotic relationships of juvenile salmon in the coastal waters of Northeast Pacific Ocean, we developed a mathematical model of the juvenile salmon survival in the nearshore oceanic ecosystem. Our model consists of two components: the dynamics of the number of juvenile salmon, N(t), and the growth of individual fish, W(t). Such an approach allows us to separate the bottom-up and top-down effects in the ecosystem and study the questions: Do these effects have equal influence on salmon survival? If not, what are the conditions under which salmon survival is primarily controlled by a bottom-up (or a top-down) mechanism? Calibrated on a reliable data set, our model provides a theoretical ground for a better understanding of the natural mechanisms controlling juvenile salmon survival, enabling predictions of different scenarios of juvenile salmon dynamics depending on various factors affecting fish.

These advection-diffusion models were configured with geostrophic currents estimated from satellite altimetry. Larval dispersal was simulated for each month of the year from 1993-2003 for 3, 6, and 12 month larval durations. Four release locations spanning the Hawaiian archipelago were evaluated, Midway Island, Maro Reef, Necker Island, and Oahu. Retention and the degree of larval influx from other areas were evaluated by tabulating successful settlement, which was scored based on larval proximity to release sites after completion of the pelagic duration. Sea surface temperature and chlorophyll concentration at each daily larval location were tabulated utilizing satellite remotely sensed data products, and these in-situ values were integrated over the entire larval duration for each larval track. These oceanographic variables are of critical importance in the early life history because of their hypothesized relationships to larval growth and feeding success, both critical determinants of larval survival and successful recruitment. The sea surface temperature and chlorophyll histories experienced by successfully settling larvae display strong seasonal and interannual patterns. These patterns may be useful towards understanding episodic recruitment events, as well as for posing hypotheses towards understanding the mechanisms underlying spawning seasonality. These transport dynamics and oceanographic patterns have general implications for a variety of vertebrate and invertebrate meta-populations.

Although the exclusion zones were not specifically designed for fisheries enhancement, they have the potential to protect local aggregations of fish. In order for the zones to be effective there should be little movement of fish from inside to outside the zones and the abundance of fish within the zones should be high. We used tag release-recovery methodology to investigate the effectiveness of trawl exclusion zones in the Aleutian Islands for protecting local aggregations of Atka mackerel, the primary prey of Steller sea lions in this region. We estimated local abundance and movement probability inside and outside the trawl exclusion zones with an integrated model that uses maximum likelihood to estimate all parameters simultaneously. Results to date suggest that in some areas there is little Atka mackerel movement from inside to outside the exclusion zones and abundance inside a given zone is high. In other areas, the opposite appears to be true - movement is high and abundance is low. We suggest that these differences are due to differences in the size and location of trawl exclusion zones relative to Atka mackerel habitat. The implication of these results is that marine protected areas should be designed with consideration of the habitat requirements of fish as well as the local abundance and movement relative to MPA boundaries.

Two such episodes in the summer of 2002 are examined (22-23 July and 11-14 August). In both cases, the pollutants that affected coastal New Hampshire and coastal southwest Maine were transported over coastal waters in stable layers at the surface. These layers were at least intermittently turbulent but retained their chemical constituents. The lack of deposition or deep vertical mixing on the overwater trajectories allowed pollutant concentrations to remain strong. The polluted plumes came directly from the Boston, Massachusetts, area. In the 22-23 July case, the trajectories were relatively straight and dominated by synoptic-scale effects, transporting pollution to the Maine coast. On 11-14 August, sea breezes brought polluted air from the coastal waters inland into New Hampshire.

Composites of precipitation associated with strong jets reveal an approximate doubling of the quantities one would expect from climatology, with an evolution of the rainfall pattern from south to north. The occurrence of extreme precipitation events follows a similar pattern. Meridional cross sections of composite wind reveal a distinct low-level jet near 20 degree S and a baroclinic development farther south that appears to force the jet. Geopotential height, temperature, and large-scale wind composites suggest that this developing disturbance is tied to a wave train that originates in the midlatitude Pacific and turns equatorward as it crosses the Andes Mountains. Similar composites based on SACZ rainfall reveal similar features, but of opposite sign, suggesting that the phase of the wave as it crosses the Andes Mountains determines whether rainfall will be enhanced downstream of the jet or in the SACZ. The alternate suppression or enhancement of rainfall in these adjacent regions results in a precipitation 'dipole.' Many previous studies have found a similar out-of-phase relationship over many time scales. The phase of the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) is composited relative to anomalous precipitation events, revealing statistically relevant amplitudes associated with rainfall both downstream of the jet and in the SACZ. The MJO is a particularly interesting intraseasonal oscillation because it has some predictability. It is speculated that the slowly varying dipole that has been observed is a consequence of the preferred phasing of synoptic waves due to variations of the planetary-scale basic-state flow, which is at times associated with the MJO.

The analysis is based on 10,567 photographs of 2,400 individual whales taken from 1979 to 1996. The central North Pacific stock winters in Hawai'i and migrates to discrete feeding areas in Alaska for the summer and autumn. The Cormack-Jolly-Seber (CJS) estimate of annual survival based on annual sightings in Hawai'i was 0.963 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.944-0.978) and the Pradel estimate was 0.963 (95% CI: 0.944-0.976), with a population rate of increase of 1.10 (95% CI: 1.03-1.16). The best survival estimate for southeastern Alaska whales, based on Barker's model, was 0.957 (95% CI: 0.943-0.967). The best survival estimate for Prince William Sound whales, also based on Barker's model, was 0.984 (95% CI: 0.954-0.995). Whales from the central North Pacific stock mix in Hawai'i; therefore, the best apparent survival estimate for the entire stock is from the pooled Hawai'i data. However, this analysis also demonstrated that we could reduce heterogeneity with Barker's model and obtain more plausible estimates of survival for the whales in discrete feeding areas using semiannual sightings in Hawai'i as opportunistic resightings.

We decided to enter data from 1998 for the west coast of the United States. Previous records that have been entered into the ICES database for 1998 do not contain detailed information regarding location, toxin, and phytoplankton assemblage that better represent the number, magnitude, and duration of HAEs. For example, in Puget Sound, Washington shellfish harvest closures occur annually and there are many inlets in Puget Sound where shellfish harvesting occurs. However, multiple closures in Puget Sound in a given year are currently considered to be a single closure in the ICES database format. To better understand the extent of closures in 1998, we analyzed monitoring data and listed the sites where toxin levels exceeded the regulatory safety limits. At each of these sites we recorded the magnitude of the toxic event as well as its duration. Maps were then made of the number of samples that exceeded the regulatory limits, the magnitude of toxicity, and the duration of HAEs. From these data we formulated suggested modifications to the current ICES HAE report forms that may better suit the needs of PICES member countries.

Sero- or genotyping of these coliphages can also be used for microbial source tracking (MST). Among the male-specific coliphages, the F+ RNA (FRNA) viruses are well studied, while little is known about the F+ DNA (FDNA) viruses. We have developed a reverse line blot hybridization (RLB) assay which allows for the simultaneous detection and genotyping of both FRNA as well as FDNA coliphages. These assays included a novel generic duplex reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) assay for FRNA viruses as well as a generic PCR for FDNA viruses. The RT-PCR assays were validated by using 190 field and prototype strains. Subsequent DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analyses of RT-PCR products revealed the classification of six different FRNA clusters, including the well-established subgroups I through IV, and three different FDNA clusters, including one (CH) not previously described. Within the leviviruses, a potentially new subgroup (called JS) including strains having more than 40% nucleotide sequence diversity with the known levivirus subgroups (MS2 and GA) was identified. We designed subgroup-specific oligonucleotides that were able to genotype all nine (six FRNA, three FDNA) different clusters. Application of the method to a panel of 351 enriched phage samples from animal feces and wastewater, including known prototype strains (MS2, GA, Qbeta, M11, FI, and SP for FRNA and M13, f1, and fd for FDNA), resulted in successful genotyping of 348 (99%) of the samples. In summary, we developed a novel method for standardized genotyping of F+ coliphages as a useful tool for large-scale MST studies.

Basin outflow response to observed spatial variability of rainfall is examined for several basins in the Distributed Model Intercomparison Project. The study basins are located in the Southern Great Plains and range in size from 795 to 1645 km super(2). We test our hypothesis by studying indices of rainfall spatial variability and basin filtering. Spatial variability of rainfall is measured using two indices for specific events: a general variability index and a locational index. The variability of basin response to rainfall event is measured in terms of a dampening ratio reflecting the amount of filtering performed on the input rainfall signal to produce the observed basin outflow signal. Analysis of the observed rainfall and streamflow data indicates that all basins perform a range of dampening of the input rainfall signal. All basins except one had a very limited range of rainfall location index. Concurrent time series of observed radar rainfall estimates and observed streamflow are analyzed to avoid model-specific conclusions. The results indicate that one basin contains complexities that suggest the use of distributed modeling approach. Furthermore, the analyses of observed data support the calibrated results from a distributed model.

DMIP simulations from twelve different models are compared with both observed streamflow and lumped model simulations. The lumped model simulations were produced using the same techniques used at National Weather Service River Forecast Centers (NWS-RFCs) for historical calibrations and serve as a useful benchmark for comparison. The differences between uncalibrated and calibrated model performance are also assessed. Overall statistics are used to compare simulated and observed flows during all time steps, flood event statistics are calculated for selected storm events, and improvement statistics are used to measure the gains from distributed models relative to the lumped models and calibrated models relative to uncalibrated models. Although calibration strategies for distributed models are not as well defined as strategies for lumped models, the DMIP results show that some calibration efforts applied to distributed models significantly improve simulation results. Although for the majority of basin-distributed model combinations, the lumped model showed better overall performance than distributed models, some distributed models showed comparable results to lumped models in many basins and clear improvements in one or more basins. Noteworthy improvements in predicting flood peaks were demonstrated in a basin distinguishable from other basins studied in its shape, orientation, and soil characteristics. Greater uncertainties inherent to modeling small basins in general and distinguishable inter-model performance on the smallest basin (65 km super(2)) in the study point to the need for more studies with nested basins of various sizes.

DMIP was intended to provide guidance on research and implementation directions for the US National Weather Service as well as to address unresolved questions on the variability of rainfall and its effect on basin response. Twelve groups participated, including groups from Canada, China, Denmark, New Zealand, and the US. Numerous data sets including seven years of concurrent radar-rainfall and streamflow data were provided to participants through web access. Detailed modeling instructions specified calibration and verification periods and modeling points. Participating models were run in 'simulation' mode without a forecast component. DMIP proved to be a successful endeavour, providing the hydrologic research and forecasting communities with a wealth of results. This paper presents the background and motivations for DMIP and describes the major project elements.

We verified annual deposition of growth increments with marginal increment analysis and validated it by analyzing vertebrae marked with oxytetracycline from a female blacknose shark held in captivity. Von Bertalanffy growth parameters indicated that female blacknose sharks have a lower growth constant (k), a larger theortical maximum size (L_ infinity ), and are longer lived than males. We compared these growth parameters for blacknose sharks in the western North Atlantic Ocean to growth parameters for blacknose sharks collected in the eastern Gulf of Mexico to test for differences between regions. Females in the western North Atlantic Ocean have a significantly lower L_ infinity , lower k, and a higher theoretical longevity than females in the Gulf of Mexico. Males in the western North Atlantic Ocean have a higher L_ infinity , lower k, and higher theoretical longevity than males in the Gulf of Mexico. The significant differences between these life history parameters for blacknose sharks suggest that, when possible, future management initiatives concerning blacknose sharks should consider managing the populations in the western North Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico as separate stocks.

Stream ecologists have been puzzled by the apparent paradox that invertebrate populations persist in headwater streams despite the high frequency with which individuals drift downstream. To resolve this 'drift paradox', directions and distances of both larval and adult movement must be identified. Using over 50 interception traps in combination with results from several mark-capture experiments using super(15)N as a label, we tested the assumption that interception traps accurately represent the ultimate direction of adult insect flight. 2. In several streams in the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, 76% of super(15)N-labelled stoneflies (Leuctra ferruginea) had flown upstream from where they emerged to where they were captured. In contrast, over 60% of stoneflies were flying downstream when captured, i.e. on the upstream side of an interception trap. 3. The instantaneous direction, as indicated by the side of the interception trap on which they were captured, indicated the ultimate flight direction for fewer than 1/3 of the individuals captured. Thus, such traps did not accurately reflect the ultimate flight patterns of individuals, as indicated by mark-capture data. 4. Conclusions drawn from interception trap counts regarding the direction of movement and the distribution and persistence of populations may need to be re-evaluated. We suggest that better tracking methods, including mass mark-capture studies using stable isotopes, be used to evaluate the potentially complex patterns of adult insect movement and the consequences of that movement for individuals and populations.

Clearly, management decisions regarding common themes like bycatch reduction and nesting beach protection, as well as more sensitive issues such as sustainable harvest and indigenous use, all require information on the status of sea turtle populations being impacted. Although few would argue this point, consensus regarding the most appropriate status assessment technique has been elusive. At a global level, the World Conservation Union's (IUCN) Red List Programme generates status assessments; identifying a species' 'extinction risk' based on past versus present abundance across its entire geographic range. However, the spatial resolution inherent in global assessments of widely distributed species is often inadequate for addressing local and regional trends. For example, whereas olive ridleys in the Atlantic are under a real threat of extirpation, the species is listed at a lower Red List category (Endangered) than are hawksbills and leatherbacks, both of which are under comparatively lesser threat of extirpation in the Atlantic (both listed as Critically Endangered). Some Atlantic leatherback populations are actually increasing. Examples such as this have resulted in considerable debate regarding the utility of global Red List Assessments for sea turtles. In this paper, I discuss the most recent green turtle (Chelonia mydas) Red List Assessment, the pros and cons of global and regional approaches to status assessments, and the need for the IUCN Marine Turtle Specialist Group (MTSG) to take an active role in developing appropriate strategies for assessing sea turtles.

Although interannual variability of blue whale occurrence on the Antarctic feeding grounds was documented by whalers, little was known about where the whales spent the winter months. Antarctic blue whales produce calls that are distinct from those produced by blue whales elsewhere in the world. To investigate potential winter migratory destinations of Antarctic blue whales, we examined acoustic data for these signals from two low-latitude locales: the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Antarctic-type blue whale calls were detected on hydrophones in both regions during the austral autumn and winter (May- September), with peak detections in July. Calls occurred over relatively brief periods in both oceans, suggesting that there may be only a few animals migrating so far north and/or producing calls. Antarctic blue whales appear to use both the Indian and eastern Pacific Oceans concurrently, indicating that there is not a single migratory destination. Acoustic data from the South Atlantic and from mid-latitudes in the Indian or Pacific Oceans are needed for a more global understanding of migratory patterns and destinations of Antarctic blue whales.

DNA was extracted from the skin and compared with DNA from cultured human neonatal control cells (dermal fibroblasts and epidermal keratinocytes) and adult human fibroblasts from a 55-year-old donor and a 96-year-old donor. To determine whether tissue engineering caused oxidative DNA damage, gas chromatography/isotope-dilution mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography/isotope-dilution mass spectrometry were used to measure six oxidatively modified DNA bases as biomarkers. Normal endogenous levels of the modified DNA biomarkers were not elevated in tissue-engineered skin when compared with control cells. Next, denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis-single strand conformation polymorphism were used to measure genetic mutations. Specifically, the TP53 tumor suppressor gene was screened for mutations, because it is the most commonly mutated gene in skin cancer. The tissue-engineered skin was found to be free to TP53 mutations at the level of sensitivity of these measurement technologies. Lastly, fluorescence in situ hybridization was employed to measure the loss of Y chromosome, which is associated with excessive cell passage and aging. Loss of Y chromosome was not detected in the tissue-engineered skin and cultured neonatal cells used as controls. In this study, we have demonstrated that tissue engineering (for TestSkin II) does not introduce genetic damage above the limits of detection of the state-of-the-art technologies used. This work explores the standard for measuring genetic damage that could be introduced during production of novel tissue-engineered products. More importantly, this exploratory work addresses technological considerations that need to be addressed in order to expedite accurate and useful international reference standards for the emerging tissue-engineering industry.

It is shown that the spatial distributions of the annual mean statistics of the total precipitable water are similar among SSM/I, R-2, and TOVS Pathfinder A for both the eddy and mean components. However, transient statistics show that the R-2 total precipitable water agrees with SSM/I with a correlation of 0.77 over the Southern Ocean while the TOVS Pathfinder A moisture is almost uncorrelated with the SSM/I data. Total moisture transport convergence for 1988 over the Antarctic continent is further examined using the R-2 wind and moisture data as well as the moisture retrievals from TOVS Pathfinder A. To gain a better understanding of transient and mean processes on moisture transport, the total moisture transport was decomposed into mean and eddy components. The results suggest that a mass conservation correction is necessary for the mean component, but can safely be ignored for the eddy component. With the mass conservation correction, the mean moisture transport is about the same for both the R-2 estimate alone and the estimate based on the mixed TOVS Pathfinder A moisture-R-2 wind. The computed eddy and total moisture transport convergence over Antarctica for the R-2 data agrees within 10%-15% with previous surface-data-based estimates as well as estimates from other model analyses. However, the eddy component of the mixed TOVS moisture with R-2 wind is about 60%-70% lower than the R-2 result. These differences occur because the eddy moisture amplitude of the TOVS Pathfinder A is nearly 40% lower than the R-2 data and also because the TOVS moisture has a much lower correlation with the R-2 winds. These results reflect the difficulties with the TOVS sensor in quantifying synoptic moisture transients resulting from conditional sampling problems.

The quasi-stationary MCS of this study formed in the Texas/Oklahoma panhandle with a lifetime of 9 h (2200 UTC 26 July to 0700 UTC 27 July 1998). Soil moisture for the finest nested grid (the cloud-resolving grid) was derived from the antecedent precipitation index (API) using 4-km-grid-spacing precipitation data for a 3-month period. In order to vary the heterogeneities of the SMI in the cloud-resolving grid, (i) Barnes objective analysis was used to alter the resolution of the soil moisture initialization, (ii) the amplitudes of the soil moisture anomalies were reduced, (iii) the position of a soil moisture anomaly was altered, and (iv) two experiments with homogeneous SMI (31% and 50% saturation) were performed. Because of the severe drought in the Texas/Oklahoma panhandle area, the saturation API value was lowered in order to introduce heterogeneities in the soil moisture for the sensitivity experiments. All of the experiments with heterogeneous SMI (in addition to an experiment with a homogeneous SMI at 31% saturation) produced an MCS with a quasi-circular cloud shield, similar to the observed timing, size, and location. The authors' findings suggest that a soil moisture dataset with approximately 40-km grid spacing may be adequate to initialize a cloud-resolving model for simulating MCSs. For the simulations in this study, the soil moisture distribution determined where convection was likely to occur. Wetter soil tended to suppress convection for this case, and convection preferentially occurred around the peripheries of wet soil moisture anomalies.

Our results demonstrate that 1) Rhabdosargus sarba has indeterminate fecundity, 2) oocyte hydration commences soon after dusk (ca. 18:30 h) and is complete by ca. 01:30-04:30 h and 3) fish with ovaries containing migratory nucleus oocytes, hydrated oocytes, or postovulatory follicles were caught between July and November. However, in July and August, their prevalence was low, whereas that of fish with ovaries containing substantial numbers of atretic yolk granule oocytes was high. Thus, spawning activity did not start to peak until September.

AN - 17539272; 6243546 AB - The reproductive biology of male franciscanas (Pontoporia blainvillei), based on 121 individuals collected in Rio Grande do Sul State, southern Brazil, was studied. Estimates on age, length, and weight at attainment of sexual maturity are presented. Data on the reproductive seasonality and on the relationship between some testicular characteristics and age, size, and maturity status are provided. Sexual maturity was assessed by histological examination of the testes. Seasonality was determined by changes in relative and total testis weight, and in seminiferous tubule diameters. Testis weight, testicular index of maturity, and seminiferous tubule diameters were reliable indicators of sexual maturity, whereas testis length, age, length, and weight of the dolphin were not. Sexual maturity was estimated to be attained at 3.6 years (CI 95% =2.74.5) with the DeMaster method and 3.0 years with the logistic equation. Length and weight at attainment of sexual maturity were 128.2 cm (CI 95%=125.3 131.1 cm) and 26.4 kg (CI 95% =24.728.1 kg), respectively. It could not be verified that there was any seasonal change in the testis weight and in the seminiferous tubule diameters in mature males. It is suggested that at least some mature males may remain reproductively active throughout the year. The extremely low relative testis weight indicates that sperm competition does not occur in the species. On the other hand, the absence of secondary sexual characteristics, the reversed sexual size dimorphism, and the small number of scars from intrassexual combats in males reinforce the hypothesis that male combats for female reproductive access may be rare for franciscana. It is hypothesized that P. blainvillei form temporary pairs (one male copulating with only one female) during the reproductive period.

AN - 17536274; 6243545 AB - We examined the summer distribution of marine mammals off the northern Washington coast based on six ship transect surveys conducted between 1995 and 2002, primarily from the NOAA ship McArthur. Additionally, small boat surveys were conducted in the same region between 1989 and 2002 to gather photographic identification data on humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) and killer whales (Orcinus orca) to examine movements and population structure. In the six years of ship survey effort, 706 sightings of 15 marine mammal species were made. Humpback whales were the most common large cetacean species and were seen every year and a total of 232 sightings of 402 animals were recorded during ship surveys. Highest numbers were observed in 2002, when there were 79 sightings of 139 whales. Line-transect estimates for humpback whales indicated that about 100 humpback whales inhabited these waters each year between 1995 and 2000; in 2002, however, the estimate was 562 (CV= 0.21) whales. A total of 191 unique individuals were identified photographically and markrecapture estimates also indicated that the number of animals increased from under 100 to over 200 from 1995 to 2002. There was only limited interchange of humpback whales between this area and feeding areas off Oregon and California. Killer whales were also seen on every ship survey and represented all known ecotypes of the Pacific Northwest, including southern and northern residents, transients, and offshore-type killer whales. Dalls porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli) were the most frequently sighted small cetacean; abundance was estimated at 181-291 individuals, except for 2002 when we observed dramatically higher numbers (876, CV= 0.30). Northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) and elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) were the most common pinnipeds observed. There were clear habitat differences related to distance offshore and water depth for different species.

Analytical approaches are now possible that were unthinkable even five years ago due to limitations in computational power or the availability of DNA data, and this has vastly expanded the accuracy and types of information that may be gained from population genetic data. Here we provide a guide to recently developed methods for population genetic analysis, including identification of population structure, quantification of gene flow, and inference of demographic history. We cover both allele-frequency and sequence-based approaches, with a special focus on methods relevant to conservation genetic applications. Although classical population genetic approaches such as F sub(st) (and its derivatives) have carried the field thus far, newer, more powerful, methods can infer much more from the data, rely on fewer assumptions, and are appropriate for conservation genetic management when precise estimates are needed.

Objectives were to describe the distribution of carangid larvae and to examine distribution patterns relative to areas of higher zooplankton volumes in order to reveal areas that may be important nurseries. Samples contained about 29,200 carangid larvae from 13 species or species complexes in 11 genera. Chloroscombrus chrysurusand Decapterus punctatus accounted for 91.7% of all larvae. We found that the 'scads' (D.punctatus, Trachurus lathami, and Selar crumenophthalmus) utilize temporally and/or spatially distinct spawning strategies to reduce co-occurrence of larvae. Samples contained fewer larvae than expected of the amberjacks (Seriola spp.), Caranx crysos, and C. hippos/latus given the abundance of adults in the survey area, possibly due to inadequate sampling at appropriate times and locations, gear avoidance, or gear bias. Zooplankton displacement volumes (ZDVs) differed among regions and seasons and were inversely related to surface salinity and station depth. Differences among years were not significant. ZDVs were consistently highest near the Mississippi River delta and along the western Louisiana/eastern Texas shelf, and moderately high during summer and fall along the shelf break, with localized pockets of elevated volumes over the eastern Gulf shelf. We suggest that Chloroscombrus chrysurus,D. punctatus, T. lathami, and possibly Oligoplites saurus, Hemicaranx amblyrhynchus andCaranx crysos spawn in frontal areas and/or along other hydrographic features that promote higher productivity. We provide new illustrations and descriptive information for the larvae ofH. amblyrhynchus and discuss characters that separate early larvae of several species of Caranx.

Comparative tests on a coarser-grain alumina provide a baseline control. A bilayer configuration with ceramic plates bonded to a compliant polymeric substrate and loaded with concentrated forces at the top surfaces, simulating basic layer structures in dental crowns and hip replacement prostheses, is used as a basic test specimen. Critical times to initiate radial crack failure at the ceramic undersurfaces at prescribed maximum surface loads are measured for Y-TZP with as-polished surfaces, mechanically predamaged undersurfaces, and after a thermal aging treatment. No differences in critical failure conditions are observed between monotonic and cyclic loading on as-polished surfaces, or between as-polished and mechanically damaged surfaces in monotonic loading, consistent with fatigue controlled by slow crack growth. However, the data for mechanically damaged and aged specimens show substantial declines in sustainable stresses and times to failure in cyclic loading, indicating an augmenting role of mechanical.

It was found that the mean primary OC concentrations over the Northeast, Southeast, Central, West and West Pacific regions were 0.39[plus-or- minus-sign]0.09 (mean plus or minus standard deviation), 1.02[plus-or- minus-sign]0.55, 0.47 plus or minus 0.34, 0.51 plus or minus 0.24, and 0.96 plus or minus 0.68 mu g C m super(-3), respectively, while the mean secondary OC concentrations were 1.27 plus or minus 0.15, 1.52[plus-or- minus-sign]0.59, 0.90 plus or minus 0.51, 0.51 plus or minus 0.29, and 0.94 plus or minus 0.52 mu g C m super(-3), respectively. The contribution of secondary OC to the measured OC ranged from 48 plus or minus 16% over the West to 77 plus or minus 3% over the Northeast. The mean values of modeled (OC/EC) sub(pri) ratios ranged from 1.16 plus or minus 0.13 over the Northeast to 3.49 plus or minus 1.22 over the West Pacific. The results at the SEARCH sites indicate that the daily mean values of modeled (OC/EC) sub(pri) ratios ranged from 0.84 to 2.99 at Yorkville and the contributions of secondary OC to OC ranged from 0% to 66% at North Birmingham. Our results indicate significant temporal and geographic variability in the relative contributions of primary and secondary OC and that the use of a constant value to represent the (OC/EC) sub(pri) ratio at a location is not appropriate over the time scales studied here.

These management strategies encompass reductions in atmospheric emissions and deposition of N from sources including, fossil fuel burning utility emissions and mobile NO sub(x) emissions, N treatment in wastewater and controls on agricultural N inputs. We find that in primarily urban watersheds biological removal of N in wastewater treatment produces the greatest reduction in N loading (32-57% reductions), while in less urban watersheds, reductions in agricultural loading are more effective (5-56% reductions) in decreasing N loads to coastal ecosystems. Because anthropogenic N inputs are derived from a variety of sources, we also examined an integrated scenario targeting all major N sources; this resulted in 35-58% reductions in N loading. Nitrogen pollution originates from multiple sources and is transported through several media (air, soil, water); a major challenge of the development of N management strategies will be the control of multiple sources to effectively reduce N loads to estuaries.

A generalized linear model and an additive model were applied to identify environmental factors and gear features that affect sea turtle bycatch rates so that total bycatch during the study period could be predicted. The main factors affecting turtle bycatch were season, time of day, sea surface temperature, and depth zone. Bycatch was highest in summer, when temperatures were over 19 degree C, and at water depths from 49-57 m. Total bycatch during the study period in this area was estimated to be 169 animals. Future hot spots of sea turtle bycatch in controlled access areas may be predicted using this approach.

Catches of more than 20 different ray species peaked in 1993. Under-reporting of elasmobranch bycatch is common in trawl fisheries that discard sharks and rays, so the actual bycatch may be much higher than is reported, complicating fishery management efforts for these species that are vulnerable to over-exploitation because of their reproductive biology. Survival rates of discarded rays from trawlers in Falkland waters were studied. Observations of a random sample from the 66 rays that were discarded in this study showed a mortality rate of 40.9%, with some survivors taking as long as 6 h to recover. Survival rates varied greatly among the eight species sampled. Male survival generally was lower than female survival, and shallow-water species had better survival rates than deep water species had. The critical duration in the fish bin was determined to be 1-2 h, with few discarded rays surviving after that amount of time. Factors that may affect recovery after discarding also are discussed.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - PACIFIC COAST GROUNDFISH BYCATCH MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT. AN - 36378958; 11179-040454_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The establishment of policies and program direction to minimize bycatch in the West Coast groundfish fisheries is proposed. The 1996 Sustainable Fisheries Act requires that every federal fishery management plan (FMP) must be consistent with National Standard 9 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. National Standard 9 requires that conservation and management measures shall, to the extent practicable, minimize bycatch and to the extent bycatch cannot be avoided, minimize the mortality resulting from bycatch. This final EIS evaluates seven alternatives for bycatch mitigation for their effectiveness in reducing unwanted catches of marine species, potential for mitigating other effects on the marine environment, social and economic impacts of measures, administrative costs, and other potential impacts. Certain alternatives would also incorporate research and monitoring components relevant to bycatch and bycatch mortality. A no Action Alternative (Alternative 1) is also addressed. Alternatives 1 through 4 would control bycatch by trip (retention) limits that would vary by gear, depth, area, and season length; marine protected areas would be designated. Alternative 2 would reduce the trawl fleet and increase trip limits to match the smaller fleet. Alternative 3 would reduce commercial fishing time by seasons or other methods and increase trip limits. Alternative 4 would establish vessel and sector catch limits for over fished groundfish and trip limits for other groundfish. Alternative 5 would establish individual catch limits (individual quotas) for groundfish species and set discard caps for over fished species. Alternative 6 would establish no-take reserves and individual catch limits and prohibit all groundfish discards. Alternative 7, the preferred alternative, would combine elements of alternatives 1, 4, and 5, primarily relying on sector allocations, rewarding these sectors with the best bycatch minimization performance. This preferred alternative would encourage individual vessel operators to carry observers at the operators expense and provide larger trip limits for those vessels, in combination with catch limits for over fished species. Those vessel operators that participate in the system would be exempted from sector closures. In the long-term, individual fishing quotas would be developed and applied. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The policies and program direction proposed would minimize bycatch to the extent practicable, minimize mortality caused by unavoidable bycatch, and ensure that bycatch was reported and monitored as required by law. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Trip and catch limitations would place economic hardships on some fishing interests and reduce the supply of groundfish to regional processing facilities, potentially increasing the cost of groundfish to the consumer. Native American fishing interests could be affected. LEGAL MANDATES: Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) and Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996.

Taq polymerase contains a polymerase domain for synthesizing a new DNA strand and a 5'-nuclease domain for cleaving RNA primers or damaged DNA strands. The extended crystal structure of Taq polymerase poses a puzzle on how this enzyme coordinates its polymerase and the nuclease activities to generate only a nick. Using contrast variation solution small angle neutron scattering, we have examined the conformational changes that occur in Taq polymerase upon binding "overlap flap" DNA, a structure-specific DNA substrate that mimics the substrate in strand replacement reactions. In solution, apoTaq polymerase has an overall expanded equilibrium conformation similar to that in the crystal structure. Upon binding to the DNA substrate, both the polymerase and the nuclease domains adopt more compact overall conformations, but these changes are not enough to bring the two active sites close enough to generate a nick. Reconstruction of the three-dimensional molecular envelope from small angle neutron scattering data shows that in the DNA-bound form, the nuclease domain is lifted up relative to its position in the non-DNA-bound form so as to be in closer contact with the thumb and palm subdomains of the polymerase domain. The results suggest that a form of structure sensing is responsible for the coordination of the polymerase and nuclease activities in nick generation. However, interactions between the polymerase and the nuclease domains can assist in the transfer of the DNA substrate from one active site to the other.

AN - 36436297; 11154 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an ecosystem restoration plan to preserve and restore seagrass communities in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary is proposed. Healthy seagrass communities serve an important ecological and socioeconomic function in the Florida Keys. Seagrass beds the nurseries for numerous species of fish and invertebrates. In turn, the viability of the recreational and commercial fishing sectors and the associated service industries are to some degree directly or indirectly dependent on healthy seagrass communities. Seagrass communities are also effective storm surf buffers, natural filters of sediment, and biological filters of impurities in seawater. The cumulative impact of vessel groundings, propeller damage, and berm formation has led to a pervasive scarring of seagrass beds. Common alternatives for seagrass restoration considered in this final EIS include seagrass transplants fertilizer spikes, sediment fill, sediment tubes, berm redistribution, sod replacement, water markers and other aids to navigation to prevent scarring by boats, exclusion cages to prevent herbivore depredation of seagrasses, and bird stakes; the latter attract seabirds, which deposit their fecal fertilizer and, thereby, nurture the growth of seagrasses. A No Action Alternative is also considered. Under the proposed action, a combination of one or more of these options would be implemented according to the situation in the area undergoing restoration treatments. Berm redistribution and sod replacement would occur at the time of injury assessment. Typically, seagrass transplants would be accompanied with bird stakes if water depth is less than 1.5 meters or fertilizer spikes if water depth is greater than 1.5 meters. Exclusion cages would be placed over seagrass transplants in areas close to coral reefs. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Restoration and protection of the seagrass beds would provide for benefits to the recreational and commercial fishing sectors, water quality along the Florida Keys, and marine mammals, including endangered species, dependent on seagrasses for ecosystem preservation and enhancement. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The pertinent analysis indicates that the environmental and socioeconomic conditions at the restoration sites would not be significantly affected in a negative way by proceeding with any of the restoration options.

The gene (Genbank AAB89583; TIGR AF1665) was annotated initially as an ornithine cyclodeaminase (OCD) on the basis of strong homology with the mu crystallin/OCD protein family. We report the structure of the NAD-bound AF1665 AlaDH (AF-AlaDH) at 2.3A in a C2 crystal form with the 70kDa dimer in the asymmetric unit, as the first structural representative of this family. Consistent with its lack of homology to bacterial AlaDH proteins, which are mostly hexameric, the archaeal dimer has a novel structure. Although both types of AlaDH enzyme include a Rossmann-type NAD-binding domain, the arrangement of strands in the C-terminal half of this domain is novel, and the other (catalytic) domain in the archaeal protein has a new fold. The active site presents a cluster of conserved Arg and Lys side-chains over the pro-R face of the cofactor. In addition, the best ordered of the 338 water molecules in the structure is positioned well for mechanistic interaction. The overall structure and active site are compared with other dehydrogenases, including the AlaDH from Phormidium lapideum. Implications for the catalytic mechanism and for the structures of homologs are considered. The archaeal AlaDH represents an ancient and previously undescribed subclass of Rossmann-fold proteins that includes bacterial ornithine and lysine cyclodeaminases, marsupial lens proteins and, in man, a thyroid hormone-binding protein that exhibits 30% sequence identity with AF1665.

Part II: Understanding the effect of Indian Ocean warming AN - 754568231; 13414448 AB - Ensembles of atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) experiments are used in an effort to understand the boreal winter Northern Hemisphere (NH) extratropical climate response to the observed warming of tropical sea surface temperatures (SSTs) over the last half of the twentieth Century. Specifically, we inquire about the origins of unusual, if not unprecedented, changes in the wintertime North Atlantic and European climate that are well described by a linear trend in most indices of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). The simulated NH atmospheric response to the linear trend component of tropic-wide SST change since 1950 projects strongly onto the positive polarity of the NAO and is a hemispheric pattern distinguished by decreased (increased) Arctic (middle latitude) sea level pressure. Progressive warming of the Indian Ocean is the principal contributor to this wintertime extratropical response, as shown through additional AGCM ensembles forced with only the SST trend in that sector. The Indian Ocean influence is further established through the reproducibility of results across three different models forced with identical, idealized patterns of the observed warming. Examination of the transient atmospheric adjustment to a sudden "switch-on" of an Indian Ocean SST anomaly reveals that the North Atlantic response is not consistent with linear theory and most likely involves synoptic eddy feedbacks associated with changes in the North Atlantic storm track. The tropical SST control exerted over twentieth century regional climate underlies the importance of determining the future course of tropical SST for regional climate change and its uncertainty. Better understanding of the extratropical responses to different, plausible trajectories of the tropical oceans is key to such efforts.

The method assumes that current generation AOGCMs are developed and evaluated using present-day radiative forcing and near present day oceanic initial conditions. To find pre-twentieth century initial conditions, we propose that the radiative forcing be run backwards in time from the present to the desired starting date. The model should then be run for 3-5 centuries with the radiative forcing held constant at the desired date. In our tests, instantaneously switching to pre-twentieth century radiative forcing did not save computational time. When a sufficiently stable pre-twentieth century condition is achieved, the coupled system can be integrated forward to the present and into the future. This method is a first step toward the standardization of AOGCM initialization and suggests a framework for AOGCM initialization for the first time. It provides an internally consistent set of pre-twentieth century initial conditions, although they will vary from model to model. Furthermore, it is likely that this method will yield a fairly realistic present-day climate in transient climate change experiments of the twentieth century, if the model biases are not too large. The main disadvantage of the method is that it is fairly computationally expensive in that it requires an additional 4-6 centuries of model integration before starting historical twentieth century integrations. However, the relative cost of this technique diminishes as more simulations are conducted using the oceanic initial condition obtained using our method.

AN - 66677481; 15234096 AB - Although there has been a great deal of research on ozone, interest in exposure of native, herbaceous species is relatively recent and it is still not clear what role the pollutant has in their ecological fitness. The ozone exposure of a plant is usually expressed in terms of the concentration above the canopy or as a time-weighted index. However, to understand the physiological effects of ozone it is necessary to quantify the ozone flux to individual leaves as they develop, which requires knowing the deposition velocity and concentration of the pollutant as a function of height throughout the plant canopy. We used a high-order closure model of sub-canopy turbulence to estimate ozone profiles in stands of cutleaf coneflower (Rudbeckia laciniata L.) located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA. The model was run for periods coinciding with a short field study, during which we measured vertical concentration profiles of ozone along with measurements of atmospheric turbulence and other meteorological and plant variables. Predictions of ozone profiles by the model are compared with observations throughout the canopy.

It also identifies other U.S. Census Bureau products that contain public education data. The tabular section contains 18 tables. Summaries as well as state-level detail are presented in Tables 1 through 10. Table 1 contains data for all major financial categories for public school systems. Revenue summaries and supporting detail are shown in Tables 2 through 5, expenditure in Tables 6 through 9, and indebtedness in Table 10. State rankings based on revenue and expenditure per pupil appear in Table 11. State rankings based on the relation of revenue and expenditure to state personal income are shown in Table 12. National summaries and enrollment size-group data for elementary-secondary education systems appear in Tables 13 and 14. Finance data for individual public school systems with enrollments of 10,000 or more are displayed in Tables 15 through 17. Data are presented in thousands of dollars in Table 15 for revenue, expenditure, and indebtedness items. Table 16 displays percent distributions of federal, state, and local revenue for these same school systems. Per pupil expenditure data appear in Table 17.

FAS/03. AN - 62126132; ED484409 AB - This report presents data on federal government aid to state and local governments by state and U.S. Outlying Area. Coverage is restricted to federal government expenditures for grants and other financial assistance to state and local governments for which data are available by state and outlying area. For fiscal year 2003 (October 1, 2002, to September 30, 2003), the statistics compiled cover $385.7 billion. The data is shown by federal agency and program whenever possible. Federal government aid to state and local governments includes the following: (1) Direct cash grants to state or local government units; (2) Payments for grants-in-kind, such as purchases of commodities distributed to state or local government institutions (e.g., School Lunch and Breakfast programs); (3) Payments to non government entities when such payments result in cash or in kind services passed on to state or local governments; (4) Payments to regional commissions and organizations that are redistributed to the state or local level; (5) Federal government payments to state and local governments for research and development that is an integral part of the provision of public services; and (6) Federal revenues shared with state and local governments. The examination and edit process the Census Bureau uses includes a comparison of reported data to information submitted for the prior year, and to budget amounts supplied by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). All grants data are reconciled by budget account and to budget figures that each federal agency is required to submit annually to OMB, in accordance with OMB Circular A-11. Discrepancies are brought to the attention of the reporting agencies and, where warranted, revisions are made. The OMB also provides assistance in the classification of grants and in ensuring compliance with the reporting requirements. Wherever possible, this report uses statistics representing actual expenditures of the federal government during the fiscal year. Each agency reports a program or project name and a budget account number to identify separately each project or budget account from which expenditures were made. Table 1 is an organized compilation, by department and agency and or program, of nearly 500 of these state by state expenditure reports. Appendix A, presents further detail about the individual expenditure programs that underlie the categories presented in Table 1.

Two regimes of guest dynamics have been identified in the range 10 K to 100 K. Below 50 K, the hydrogen atoms on TMO execute jumps between nonequivalent sites with a jump distance of 2.1 A, consistent with a model of rotations of 90 degrees about the C (sub 2V) molecular axis between sites with unequal occupancy probabilities, and corresponding to an energy difference between sites of approximately 7 me V. Above 50 K, a second dynamical regime appears in which rotational motions of H occur about both the C (sub 2V) axis and a second axis perpendicular to the plane of the molecule. An increase in the activation energy barrier to the motion that appears to accompany the onset of multi-axis motion could be a result of the additional high-energy rotations taking place within more restricted cross sections of the cage.

The impacts of the June 1999 sequence on the hydrologic system, which include changes in vent temperature and chemistry within the Main Endeavour Vent Field, have been well documented previously. Analysis of seismic and hydroacoustic data indicates that both sequences exhibit a swarm-like behavior, characterized by the absence of a dominant main shock event. The epicentral locations of events within the two swarms overlap spatially, with centroid positions near 47 degrees 49' and 47 degrees 46'N latitude. During the June 1999 swarm, the initial activity spans the along-axis region where a shallow axial magma chamber reflector was later imaged. The epicenters then migrate approximately 12 km to the south at a rate of 0.3 m/s, consistent with lateral dike propagation. A distinct subcluster of events also occurred in the vicinity of Surveyor Volcano on the overlapping portion of the Cobb Segment. Given its distance from the main swarm, this activity may represent a triggered response to dynamic shaking. The January 2000 swarm has a more limited along-axis extent, relative to the June 1999 swarm, with no indication of lateral migration. Much of this activity is concentrated in a region predicted to have undergone extension due to dike propagation in 1999. Although it contains fewer total events and is of shorter duration, relative to the June 1999 swarm, the January 2000 activity exhibits a higher peak rate of seismicity and greater mean event magnitude. As in situ temperature monitoring was not in place during January 2000 and vent fluids were not sampled until June 2000, the impacts of this swarm on the hydrothermal system are unknown. The southernmost tip of the Endeavour Segment also is found to be a region of repeating swarm activity. Although morphologic evidence indicates the Cobb Segment has been propagating northward recently, this seismic activity suggests that the western limb of the Endeavour-Cobb overlap zone remains active.

Low-lying states in the Caribbean are especially vulnerable to these effects, posing significant risks to public safety and natural resources. This paper highlights expected trends in the Eastern Caribbean and examines the impacts of urbanization and supporting infrastructure, siting of major structures in high-hazard areas, and negative land-use practices on fragile coastal ecosystems. It focuses on the need to reduce the vulnerability of coastal infrastructure and land uses, arguing for effective linkages between climate change issues and development planning. The paper also provides general recommendations and identifies challenges for the incorporation of climate change impacts and risk assessment into long-term land-use national development plans and strategies.

The present study explores the sensitivity of this result to the choice of climate model used to define the CO2-warmed environment and to the choice of convective parameterization used in the nested regional model that simulates the hurricanes. Approximately 1300 five-day idealized simulations are performed using a higher-resolution version of the GFDL hurricane prediction system (grid spacing as fine as 9 km, with 42 levels). All storms were embedded in a uniform 5 m s-1 easterly background flow. The large-scale thermodynamic boundary conditions for the experiments- atmospheric temperature and moisture profiles and SSTs-are derived from nine different Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP2+) climate models. The CO2-induced SST changes from the global climate models, based on 80-yr linear trends from +1% yr-1 CO2 increase experiments, range from about +0.8 degree to +2.4 degree C in the three tropical storm basins studied. Four different moist convection parameterizations are tested in the hurricane model, including the use of no convective parameterization in the highest resolution inner grid. Nearly all combinations of climate model boundary conditions and hurricane model convection schemes show a CO2-induced increase in both storm intensity and near-storm precipitation rates. The aggregate results, averaged across all experiments, indicate a 14% increase in central pressure fall, a 6% increase in maximum surface wind speed, and an 18% increase in average precipitation rate within 100 km of the storm center. The fractional change in precipitation is more sensitive to the choice of convective parameterization than is the fractional change of intensity. Current hurricane potential intensity theories, applied to the climate model environments, yield an average increase of intensity (pressure fall) of 8% (Emanuel) to 16% (Holland) for the high-CO2 environments. Convective available potential energy (CAPE) is 21% higher on average in the high-CO2 environments. One implication of the results is that if the frequency of tropical cyclones remains the same over the coming century, a greenhouse gas-induced warming may lead to a gradually increasing risk in the occurrence of highly destructive category-5 storms.

On a monthly time scale both surface exchange and atmospheric transport are important in determining the rate of change of CO sub(2) mixing ratio at these sites. Vertical differences between the atmospheric boundary layer and free troposphere over the continent are generally greater than large-scale zonal gradients such as the difference between the free troposphere over the continent and the marine boundary layer. Therefore, as a first approximation we parametrize atmospheric transport as a vertical exchange term related to the vertical gradient of CO sub(2) and the mean vertical velocity from the NCEP Reanalysis model. Horizontal advection is assumed to be negligible in our simple analysis. We then calculate the net surface exchange of CO sub(2) from CO sub(2) mixing ratio measurements at four tower sites. The results provide estimates of the surface exchange that are representative of a regional scale (i.e. similar to 10 super(6) km super(2)). Comparison with direct, local-scale (eddy covariance) measurements of net exchange with the ecosystems around the towers are reasonable after accounting for anthropogenic CO sub(2) emissions within the larger area represented by the mixing ratio data. A network of tower sites and frequent aircraft vertical profiles, separated by several hundred kilometres, where CO sub(2) is accurately measured would provide data to estimate horizontal and vertical advection and hence provide a means to derive net CO sub(2) fluxes on a regional scale. At present CO sub(2) mixing ratios are measured with sufficient accuracy relative to global reference gas standards at only a few continental sites. The results also confirm that flux measurements from carefully sited towers capture seasonal variations representative of large regions, and that the midday CO sub(2) mixing ratios sampled in the atmospheric surface layer similarly capture regional and seasonal variability in the continental CO sub(2) budget.

The profile data, measured with an automated sampling system during the summer of 1999, show a pronounced daily cycle, with a small surface CO sub(2) gradient and low concentrations during the day and a large surface gradient and high concentrations at night. The CO sub(2) profile measurements allow us to test two current assumptions built into measurements of ecosystem carbon fluxes. The first assumption is that the flux from the surface to the atmosphere can be calculated using the measured CO sub(2) gradient and a calculated value of the diffusive transport coefficient. The behaviour of the surface CO sub(2) gradient suggests that one cannot assume diffusive transport across the moss surface at this site when the friction velocity measured at 30 m exceeds 0.4 m s super(-1). This condition, associated with turbulent mixing generated by wind shear and-or solar heating of the surface, was often encountered during the day at this site, though rarely at night. During the day, friction velocity and wind speed measured at 30 m height are linearly related, with friction velocity exceeding 0.4 m s super(-1) when wind speed exceeds about 2 m s super(-1). At night, wind at the top of the canopy may be laminar, so that the wind speed must exceed 4 m s super(-1) to cause enough turbulence to raise friction velocity above the 0.4 m s super(-1) threshold. The second assumption is that changes in soil pore-space CO sub(2) storage can be neglected when correcting eddy covariance measurements for ecosystem respiration that is stored in the ecosystem rather than being mixed into the overlying atmosphere. Our results show that the soil pore-space CO sub(2) profile is not in steady state at the site, but that the magnitude of the corresponding storage flux is small relative to the below-canopy CO sub(2) storage flux. The soil pore-space CO sub(2) storage flux ranges between plus or minus 0.4 mu mol m super(-2) s super(-1), while the below-canopy storage flux ranges between plus or minus 20 mu mol m super(-2) s super(-1). However, the soil pore-space storage flux could be significant relative to the CO sub(2) respiration flux across the soil surface, which we estimate to be in the range of 1-4 mu mol m super(-2) s super(-1).

Brown during the Asian Pacific Regional Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE-Asia) from 14 March to 20 April 2001. This manuscript focuses on the prefrontal and postfrontal air masses sampled aboard the ship in the Sea of Japan between 6 and 15 April 2001 to illustrate the different chemical sources/mixtures off the coast of Asia resulting from the contrasting meteorological transport patterns. The prefrontal air masses had a dominant accumulation mode composed of pollution and volcanic aerosols. The aerosol was predominately ammonium sulfate and organic carbon. Minor amounts of dust were present in the marine boundary layer (MBL) as a result of subsidence from a pronounced Taklimakan dust aerosol layer aloft. The sea salt in both the submicron and supermicron modes was highly depleted in chloride from reaction with sulfuric and nitric acid vapors. The passage of a large low-pressure center, surrounded by a widespread distribution of airborne dust, on 10 April brought elevated concentrations of submicron and supermicron Gobi desert dust to the ship. The supermicron dust particles contained high concentrations of sulfate, nitrate, organic, and elemental carbon. The MBL aerosol properties and controlling processes described here provide data to evaluate and refine chemical transport models. JF - Journal of Geophysical Research. D.

This paper examines the challenges Brazil's first open-water MER is facing in trying to achieve these goals. Results from a pilot project in Arraial do Cabo, Rio de Janeiro suggest that significant social barriers to collective action exist and that local resource governing institutions are not robust. Consequently, fishers are not becoming decisive players in the decision-making process. The implications of these conclusions for future maritime conservation policy in Brazil are explored.

We observed pronounced gradients in the flux of solar energy and water temperature in an earlier large-scale experiment in which we manipulated the width of riparian buffers along headwater streams. Associated with these abiotic changes were increases in periphyton biomass and primary consumer abundance. We present results from a study in streamside channels that was designed to isolate the effects of light on stream communities, while holding water temperature constant. Light treatments in the channel experiment simulated inputs of solar radiation created during the prior watershed-scale experiment. Results from the present study suggested that consumers limited periphyton biomass early in the study; however, a rainstorm midway through the experiment reduced periphyton biomass and insect consumer abundance. Following this disturbance, chlorophyll a biomass was 2 to 4 times higher in the full sunlight treatment compared to the 2 lowest light treatments. At the end of the study, primary consumer abundance, biomass, survival, and growth rate were positively related to light and periphyton resources. Therefore, we inferred biotic control of periphyton during the early part of the channel study, whereas light appeared to control periphyton at the end of the study. Results from the large-scale and channel experiments suggested that light was the primary constraint on periphyton biomass accrual. Moreover, both experiments, especially the channel study, showed that light indirectly influenced consumer performance as mediated by increased primary production.

Specific rates of C-fixation and growth were also measured. Specific C-fixation rates showed a single linear relation with the cellular Fe :C ratio regardless of the photoperiod. Decreasing the photoperiod from 14 to 7 h increased the mean daytime cellular Fe :C ratio by 40%, the specific C-fixation rate by 34%, and the Chl a :C ratio by 91% in mildly iron-limited cultures. These changes reflect a cellular acclimation to the shortened light period. The higher cellular iron level apparently allowed for synthesis of additional iron-rich proteins (e.g., those utilized in photosynthetic electron transport) needed to support the increased rate of C-fixation. Mean cellular Chl a concentration decreased linearly with decreasing specific growth rate under iron and zinc limitation, thereby allowing the cells to maintain a balance between light harvesting and biosynthesis. Cellular concentrations of carbon, Chl a, zinc, and iron typically varied during the light period because of the day-night differences in rates of C-fixation, Chl a synthesis, growth, and metal uptake. Cell carbon concentrations increased by 36-96% during the light period, reflecting daytime storage of fixed carbon to support nighttime respiration and growth. Cellular zinc concentrations decreased by 25% during the light period owing to higher daytime specific growth rates and resulting higher rates of biodilution. By contrast, the direction of change in cellular iron concentrations was dependent on the extent of photochemical redox cycling of iron chelates, which increased iron uptake rates during the day. The direction and magnitude of daytime changes in cellular zinc and iron were also dependent on the parameter (cell volume, cell numbers, or carbon) to which the cellular metal was normalized, as each of these parameters exhibited its own unique diurnal pattern.

Selectivity and diet were evaluated on a biomass basis for alewives collected near Muskegon, Michigan, during June, July-August, and October 1999-2001. Fish were sampled from three depth zones: shallow (15-25 m), transitional (35-55 m), and deep (65- 90 m). Prey selectivity and diet patterns indicated that alewives had considerable flexibility in adjusting to prey availability, which varied by season, depth zone, and year. Although small copepods were an abundant prey item throughout the year and in all depth zones, they were mainly important in the diet (large and small alewives) in June and at the shallow stations, where many of the other prey types were not available. Despite declining numbers, Diporeia continued to be important for large alewives in spring, particularly at the transitional and deep stations, where their biomass was many times higher than that of other prey. During summer, large alewives selected either Bythotrephes longimanus or Mysis relicta in all depth zones and years. The diet of large alewives consisted mainly of Mysis in July 1999 and August 2001, whereas in August 2000 mainly Bosmina were eaten. During October, Mysis and Bythotrephes, along with large zooplankters (Daphnia spp. and large calanoid copepods), were selected and were most important in the diet of large alewives. In contrast, only the large zooplankton were selected and were important prey for the small alewives in fall. Annual, seasonal, and depth differences in prey biomass as well as differences in alewife size all influenced diet and selectivity patterns.

Aerosol properties measured in the marine boundary layer included chemical composition; number size distribution; and light scattering, hemispheric backscattering, and absorption coefficients. In addition, optical depth and vertical profiles of aerosol 180 degree backscatter were measured. Aerosol within the ACE-Asia study region was found to be a complex mixture resulting from marine, pollution, volcanic, and dust sources. Presented here as a function of air mass source region are the mass fractions of the dominant aerosol chemical components, the fraction of the scattering measured at the surface due to each component, mass scattering efficiencies of the individual components, aerosol scattering and absorption coefficients, single scattering albedo, Aangstroem exponents, optical depth, and vertical profiles of aerosol extinction. All results, except aerosol optical depth and the vertical profiles of aerosol extinction, are reported at a relative humidity of 55 +/- 5%. An overdetermined data set was collected so that measured and calculated aerosol properties could be compared, internal consistency in the data set could be assessed, and sources of uncertainty could be identified. By adjusting the measured size distribution to take into account nonsphericity of the dust aerosol, calculated and measured aerosol mass and scattering coefficients agreed within overall experimental uncertainties. Differences between measured and calculated aerosol absorption coefficients were not within reasonable uncertainty limits, however, and may indicate the inability of Mie theory and the assumption of internally mixed homogeneous spheres to predict absorption by the ACE-Asia aerosol. Mass scattering efficiencies of non-sea-salt sulfate aerosol, sea salt, submicron particulate organic matter, and dust found for the ACE-Asia aerosol are comparable to values estimated for ACE 1, Aerosols99, and the Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX). Unique to the ACE-Asia aerosol were the large mass fractions of dust, the dominance of dust in controlling the aerosol optical properties, and the interaction of dust with soot aerosol.

AN - 17606051; 6055240 AB - On several occasions, winter freezes have wrought severe destruction on Florida agriculture. A series of devastating freezes around the turn of the twentieth century, and again during the 1980s, were related to anomalies in the large-scale flow of the ocean-atmosphere system. During the twentieth century, substantial areas of wetlands in south Florida were drained and converted to agricultural land for winter fresh vegetable and sugarcane production. During this time, much of the citrus industry also was relocated to those areas to escape the risk of freeze farther to the north. The purpose of this paper is to present a modeling study designed to investigate whether the conversion of the wetlands to agriculture itself could have resulted in or exacerbated the severity of recent freezes in those agricultural areas of south Florida. For three recent freeze events, a pair of simulations was undertaken with the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System. One member of each pair employed land surface properties that represent pre-1900s (near natural) land cover, whereas the other member of each pair employed data that represent near-current land-use patterns as derived from analysis of Landsat data valid for 1992 /93. These two different land cover datasets capture well the conversion of wetlands to agriculture in south Florida during the twentieth century. Use of current land surface properties resulted in colder simulated minimum temperatures and temperatures that remained below freezing for a longer period at locations of key agricultural production centers in south Florida that were once natural wetlands. Examination of time series of the surface energy budget from one of the cases reveals that when natural land cover is used, a persistent moisture flux from the underlying wetlands during the nighttime hours served to prevent the development of below-freezing temperatures at those same locations. When the model results were subjected to an important sensitivity factor, the depth of standing water in the wetlands, the outcome remained consistent. These results provide another example of the potential for humans to perturb the climate system in ways that can have severe socioeconomic consequences by altering the land surface alone.

As a step toward such an understanding, this study probes some sensitivities of a simulated ensemble of convective clouds in a two-dimensional cloud-resolving model (CRM). The ensemble is initially in statistical equilibrium with a steady imposed background forcing (cooling and moistening). Large-scale stimuli are imposed as horizontally uniform perturbations nudged into the model fields over 10 min, and the rainfall response of the model clouds is monitored. In order to reduce a major source of artificial insensitivity in the CRM, a simple parameterization scheme is devised to account for heating-induced large-scale (i.e., domain averaged) vertical motions that would develop in nature but are forbidden by the periodic boundary conditions. The effects of this large-scale vertical motion are parameterized as advective tendency terms that are applied as a uniform forcing throughout the domain, just like the background forcing. This parameterized advection is assumed to lag rainfall (used as a proxy for heating) by a specified time scale. The time scale determines (via a gravity wave space-time conversion factor) the size of the large-scale region represented by the periodic CRM domain, which can be of arbitrary size or dimensionality. The sensitivity of rain rate to deep cooling and moistening, representing an upward displacement by a large-scale wave of first baroclinic mode structure, is positive. Near linearity is found for plus or minus 1 K perturbations, and the sensitivity is about equally divided between temperature and moisture effects. For a second baroclinic mode (vertical dipole) displacement, the sign of the perturbation in the lower troposphere dominates the convective response. In this dipole case, the initial sensitivity is very large, but quantitative results are distorted by the oversimplified large-scale dynamics parameterization, which only allows for deep baroclinic mode responses. Imposition of moderate wind shear (10 m s-1 over the troposphere) has no significant impact on rain rate.

Consequently, it is of interest to quantify habitat needs and preferences, which can facilitate predictions of conditions favoring persistence and success. Multivariate habitat models of movements and dive behavior of narwhals (Monodon monoceros, Linnaeus) in the eastern Canadian high Arctic and West Greenland were developed using data collected from satellite telemetry studies on three separate sub-populations. Twenty-six narwhals were captured between 1993 and 2000 and fitted with satellite-linked time-depth recorders. Geographic positions of whales at 24-h time steps were linked to dive behavior variables compressed on a daily scale, including numbers of dives to different target depths or durations, time near the surface, daily dive rate, and travel speed. Whale movements and behavior were linked to biophysical variables in a raster format using a GIS (bathymetry, bottom topography, bottom temperature, and distance from the coastline) and analyzed using linear and generalized linear mixed models, accounting for temporal autocorrelation and random variation among individuals. Models suggested that several physical variables described narwhal behavior, predominantly bathymetry and distance from the coastline (particularly deep or long dives). Other descriptor variables, such as size category and sex, also explained portions of the model variability, particularly for shallow dives, surface time, and dive rates. Bottom temperature ( degree C) was the strongest predictor of all dive behaviors when narwhal location data were restricted to periods with available temperatures. The bottom temperature range and gradient selected by narwhals on their wintering grounds often coincided with areas of concurrent high density of Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides, Walbaum) and predictable open water in winter pack ice in Baffin Bay. These quantitative habitat models made it possible to reconcile the behavioral traits of narwhals with dynamic environmental factors.

Field studies and previous laboratory experiments have strongly implicated solar radiation as a factor in bleaching stress. The influence of spectral quality and quantity of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and ultraviolet radiation (UV) on growth rates and bleaching in Amphistegina gibbosa was investigated in the laboratory using fluorescent sources of PAR ('blue' with a spectral peak at 450 nm and 'white' with a 600-nm spectral peak) and biologically effective ultraviolet radiation [UVB (280-320 nm)]. Growth rate, as indicated by increase in maximum shell diameter, saturated at a PAR of 6-8 mu mol photon m super(-2) s super(-1), increased in 'blue' light, and was not influenced by UVB less than or equal to 0.0162 W m super(-2). Frequency of bleaching increased with increasing PAR photon flux density and with exposure to shorter wavelengths, with or without an increase in total energy. Growth was significantly inhibited by UVB at 0.105 W m super(-2). Specimens in treatments exposed to UVB to PAR ratios >0.003 became dark in color, rather than bleaching, which previous cytological studies indicate is a photo-protective response. Implications of these experiments are that environmental factors that affect either the spectral quality or quantity of solar radiation can influence bleaching in Amphistegina.

Maximum consumption (C sub(MAX)) estimates were obtained from feeding and gut evacuation experiments on larvae (3 times 8-19 mm standard length, L sub(S)) at three temperatures (24, 28 and 32 degree C), and maximum consumption experiments on juveniles at three temperatures (20, 26 and 32 degree C). Feeding levels were determined for larvae fed live prey (Brachionus plicatilis and Artemia salina)ad libitum. The midgut and total evacuation times were estimated for fish feeding continuously and discontinuously using alternate meals of tagged and untagged live prey. Temperature and fish size had significant effects on gut evacuation and consumption. The gut evacuation time increased with increasing fish size, and decreased with increasing temperatures. Mass-specific midgut contents increased for small larvae <0 times 156 mg dry mass (M sub(D))(c. 4 mm L sub(S)), and decreased for larger larvae and juveniles. Maximum consumption was modelled by fitting a polynomial function to a reduced dataset of individuals feeding at high levels. The C sub(MAX) model predicted an initial increase in specific feeding rate from 70 to 155% M sub(D) day super(-1) for small larvae, before declining for larger larvae and juveniles.

AN - 17064596; 6697547 AB - Pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) returning to Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska, have increased to historically high levels of abundance in recent years, but average body size at return has declined. We examined how body size at return of PWS pink salmon was related to 10 biophysical factors, including the scale of hatchery production. We also examined the effect of body size at return on productivity of wild pink salmon in PWS. For the 1975-1999 brood years, we found that an index of total abundance of pink salmon in the Gulf of Alaska and sea surface temperature during the year of return best explained the variation in pink salmon body size over time. Body size at return was significantly correlated with productivity of wild pink salmon. We used stepwise-regression to fit a generalized linear version of the Ricker spawner-recruit model to determine if body size would explain significant variation in wild-stock productivity in context with other environmental variation, including hatchery production. The results indicate that variability in wild-stock productivity is primarily driven by density-independent factors in the marine environment, but that body size of wild spawners also significantly affects productivity of wild PWS pink salmon. We conclude that the success of large-scale enhancement increasing the total run in PWS may have contributed to the decline in body size because of density-dependent growth in the Gulf of Alaska. We used a simulation model to estimate the impact of hatchery-induced changes in adult body size on wild-stock production in PWS. We estimated an annual wild-stock yield loss of 1.03 million pink salmon, less than 5% of the annual hatchery return of 24.2 million adult pink salmon for brood years 1990-1999.

A series of model runs were completed using biophysical data collected in Icy Strait, a regional salmon migration corridor, in May, June, July, August, and September of 2001. These data included a temperature (1-m surface versus surface to 20-m average), zooplankton standing crop (surface to 20-m depth versus entire water column), chum salmon diet (percent weight of prey type consumed), energy densities, and weight. Known numbers of hatchery releases were used in a cohort reconstruction model to estimate total abundance of hatchery and wild chum salmon in the northern region of southeastern Alaska, given average survival to adults and for two different (low and high) early marine littoral mortality rate assumptions. Total prey consumption was relatively insensitive to temperature differences associated with the depths potentially utilized by juvenile chum salmon. However, the magnitudes and temporal patterns of total prey consumed differed dramatically between the low and high mortality rate assumptions. Daily consumption rates from the bioenergetics model and CPUE abundance from sampling in Icy Strait were used to estimate amount and percentage of zooplankton standing crop consumed by mixed stocks of chum salmon. We estimated that only a small percentage of the available zooplankton was consumed by juvenile chum salmon, even during peak abundances of marked hatchery and unmarked mixed stocks in July. Total daily consumption of zooplankton by all stock groups of juvenile chum salmon was estimated to be between 330 and 1764 g/km super(2)d super(1) from June to September in the neritic habitat of Icy Strait. As with any modeling exercise, model outputs can be misleading if input parameters and underlying assumptions are not valid; therefore, additional studies are warranted, especially to determine physiological input parameters, and to improve abundance and mortality estimates specific to juvenile chum salmon. Future bioenergetics modeling is also needed to evaluate consumption by the highly abundant, vertically migrating planktivorous that co-occurred in our study; we suggest that these fishes have a greater impact on the zooplankton standing crop in Icy Strait than do hatchery stock groups of juvenile chum salmon.

It is intended for running coupled atmosphere-surface climate scenarios for the Great Lakes basin, to gain a perspective that has been missed by running hydrologic models in off-line mode, driven by the output of global general circulation models. This paper presents validation of this model using historical atmospheric data to drive the regional embedded CHARM model. The current version of CHARM simulates the near-surface air temperature in the region quite well, with some positive bias during the winter and negative bias during the summer. Biases in the temperature averaged over 1 month and over the portion of the domain that is not directly forced by observations are less than or approximately 2 K. The annual precipitation has a positive bias of 6.6% and does well at placing the lake-effect precipitation areas, but may have too strong a west-east gradient. Simulation of annually averaged runoff meets well with expectations, but additional empirical fitting may be required to replicate the seasonal cycle. Aspects of the model that remain troublesome are the tendency for unrealistically low pressure at mean sea level and for persistent heavy low stratus clouds. JF - Journal of Geophysical Research. D.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - BERING SEA AND ALEUTIAN ISLANDS CRAB FISHERIES. AN - 36374335; 11135-040410_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment the fishery management plan (FMP) for the king and tanner crab fisheries of the Aleutian Islands and Bering Sea in the United States Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska is proposed. The current FMP was adopted in 1989 and updated in 1998. The new FMP would revitalize the fisheries by creating a market in the fishery through the allotment of shares to participants. Investment decisions of shareholders in the fishery would then be geared toward receiving maximum returns on their allotted shares. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would maintain the current FMP, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2), known as the Three-Pie Alternative, would implement a complex rationalization program that would include elements to manage several identifiable groups that depend on the fisheries. Allocations of harvest shares would be provided to harvesters, communities, and captains. Processors would be allocated processing shares. Designated regional would be allocated certain percentages of the crab landings and processing activities to preserve their historic interests in the fisheries. Harvesters would be permitted to form cooperatives to realize efficiencies through fleet consolidation. The novelty of the program has compelled the North Pacific Fishery Council to include several safeguards. Including a binding arbitration program for the resolution of price disputes, extensive data collection, and a program review to assess the success of the program. Alternative 3 would establish an individual fishing quota program. The primary difference between the individual quota alternative and the preferred alternative would be the absence of processor shares in the former alternative. Alternative 4 would establish a cooperative program for harvesters in the fisheries. The primary difference between the cooperative alternative and the preferred alternative would be that processors would not receive processor shares but would instead be licensed and receive the benefit of harvest delivery requirements arising out of processor associations with cooperatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would help stem the overly competitive fishing that has depleted the fisheries, while providing for a balanced distribution of benefits and improving fisheries management and resource conservation. As a result, the allocation of labor and capital between fishing and other industries would maximize the net value of production. The program would remove individual incentives to over-invest in labor and capital to secure or maintain a shore of the catch. Efficient operators would be encouraged, while marginal operators would likely be removed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Any action alternative would result in a reduction in the size of the fleet related to the fisheries, resulting in economic hardships for some interested fishery parties. The fisheries could be disbursed more widely than existing fisheries, resulting in some additional fishing effort for some operators. The processor protections of the voluntary cooperative aspect of the preferred alternative and the cooperative alternative could limit processor consolidation.

AN - 36362502; 11131-040406_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The establishment of the annual subsistence harvest of northern fur seals on the Pribilof Islands of Alaska is proposed. Since the first Aleuts were brought to the islands in the late 1700s, fur seal meat has been a dietary staple. The Aleuts use many parts of the seal for food. The number of seals estimated to be necessary for subsistence purposes has varied dramatically since 1985, ranging from greater than 15,000 per year (the upper limit in the 1985 EIS) to the current estimate of less than 2,000 when both islands are combined. A total of 3,713 seals were harvested in 1985. The take range is determined from annual household surveys. Federal regulations require that the National Marine Fisheries Service determine and publish the take ranges for the Pribilof Islands subsistence harvest of northern fur seals every three years. The current range for St. Paul Island is 1,545 to 2,000 seals; the range for St. George Island is 200 to 500 seals. These ranges, and the associated co-management agreements, were developed through close consultation with the tribal governments of St. Paul and St, George islands and have been determined as adequate to meet the local subsistence needs for the Aleut community living in the Pribilof Islands. Key issues include those related to potential impacts to the seal population, effects on subsistence culture and traditions, and potential impacts to other subsistence species, such as Steller sea lions and harbor seals. Four alternatives, including maintenance of the status quo, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would maintain the same take ranges that were established for the three-year period extending from 2000 through 2002. [POS]While having minimal impact on the fur seal population, the preferred alternative would meet the documented subsistence needs of the Aleuts on St. Paul and St. George islands. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would have insignificant impacts on benthic habitats, essential fish habitat, seabirds, wild and scenic rivers, wetlands, ecologically critical areas, other marine mammals, other wildlife, and water quality. The cumulative impact on fur seals could be more damaging, particularly in combination with climatic changes, commercial seal harvest, the impacts of seal entanglement in marine debris, which have drastically affected seal populations in the region.

AN - 36435489; 11129 AB - PURPOSE: The establishment of 2005-2006 groundfish specifications and management measures for the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery is proposed. The Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) establishes a framework authorizing the range and type of measures that may be used to exploit the fishery, enumerates 18 objectives, under three broad categories, that management measure must satisfy, and describes more specific criteria for determining the level of harvest that will provide the greatest overall benefit to the nation. Fisheries subject to the management measures include limited entry trawl fisheries, limited entry fixed gear (pot and longline) fisheries, and a variety of other fisheries catching groundfish, either as target species or incidentally, but not license limited under the management framework established in the FMP. Allocations to tribal fisheries in Washington state are also identified. Eight groundfish species have been declared over-fished and measures to prevent over-fishing and rebuild these over-fished stocks are a central element of the proposed action. The proposed action would establish harvest guidelines for groundfish species, species groups, and geographic subunits. In order to constrain fisheries to these harvest guidelines, management measures for commercial and recreational fisheries are identified. Management measures considered for commercial fisheries would include two-month cumulative landing limits for species, species groups, and geographic subunits for limited entry trawl and fixed gear sectors and fisheries not license limited under the FMP, as well as gear restrictions to reduce bycatch of over-fished species and reduce habitat impacts. Management measures considered for recreational fisheries would include bag limits, size limits, and fishing seasons; these measures would vary by state. In addition, area closures, based on depth and intended to reduce bycatch of species would apply to both commercial and recreational fisheries that are likely to catch these species; these closures would vary by geographic region. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered for each of the following areas in this draft EIS: limited entry trawl fishery, limited-entry fixed gear fishery, open access fishery, tribal fisheries, and the Washington, Oregon, and California recreational fisheries. A preferred alternative is identified in each case. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The establishment of the fishery specifications would ensure that Pacific Coast groundfish subject to federal management are harvested in an manner by which sustainable use of these fishery resources can be maintained, supporting economic exploitation of the fishery and maintaining fishery stocks at appropriate levels for regeneration. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Commercial and recreational fisheries could lose significant direct ex-vessel revenues. Optimum yields for the over-fished species could be exceeded, possibly requiring more severe restrictions in the future. Buyers and processors would also lose income. Communities, including tribal communities would suffer economic losses as well. Enforcement costs could increase.

AN - 36430785; 11128 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the reef fishery management plan (FMP) for the Gulf of Mexico is proposed to set Sustainable Fisheries Act targets and thresholds and to establish a red snapper rebuilding plan. In May 2001, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council submitted a regulatory amendment to th8e National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for the reef fish FMP to set a red snapper rebuilding plan through 2032. In July 2002, the NMFS determined that the regulatory amendment would have reasonable foreseeable significant adverse impacts on the shrimp and, potentially, on the directed snapper fisheries. Hence, the NMFS recommended that the Council develop a supplemental EIS to analyze current and additional rebuilding alternatives n greater detail. Based on federal agency guidance, it was suggested that federal red snapper criteria and the rebuilding plan would be best addressed in an amendment to the Reef Fish FMP, rather than via a regulatory amendment. Additionally, federal law also requires the fishery management plans establish a standard methodology to assess the amount and type of bycatch occurring in the fishery and to limit bycatch. This final EIS addresses five alternatives addressing biological reference points and status criteria, five alternatives addressing termination of over-fishing and rebuilding of the fishery, and nine alternatives addressing bycatch reporting methodologies, including six reporting alternatives for commercial and recreational for-hire fisheries, and three reporting alternatives for the private recreational fishery. In each case, a No Action Alternative and a preferred alternative is identified. With respect to biological reference points and status criteria, the preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would establish formulas for the maximum sustainable yield, optimum yield, minimum stock size threshold, and maximum fish mortality threshold for red snapper. With respect to ending over-fishing and rebuilding of the fishery, the preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would maintain the TAC so as to rebuild the snapper fishery by 2032; the FMP would be reviewed and adjusted through periodic five-year assessments and annual lands would be monitored to ensure that the quota was not exceeded. With respect to bycatch reporting, an observer program would be managed by the National Marine Fisheries Services for the commercial and recreational for-hire fishery (Alternative 4) and the status quo would be maintained for the private recreational fishery (Alternative 1). In addition, bycatch minimization measures would be established. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amendment would alter the FMP to allow review and redefinition of biological reference points and status determination criteria, to establish a rebuilding schedule and plan that would be consistent with current fishery management standards, to establish a standardized methodology to collect by catch information for the fishery, and to evaluate the practicability of additional measures to reduce bycatch and bycatch mortality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Once the stock was rebuild, operation of the amended FMP could result in damage to the physical and biological environments by fishing gear. Conservative stock parameters could result in economic losses to fishery operators due to foregone yield, and regulatory measures could increase fishing costs. Additional administrative effort would be required under any action alternative as status criteria changes occur based on new information gathered for the red snapper stock. Red snapper bycatch in other fisheries might have to be addressed.

We employed a large-scale experimental rocky reef system to examine patterns of recruitment of 2 fishes, the California sheephead Semicossyphus pulcher and the blackeye goby Rhinogobiops nicholsii. We quantified recruitment over a 2 yr period on 21 experimental reefs (each 1600 m super(2)) that represented low, medium, and high treatments of habitat coverage. Recruitment of California sheephead was higher on reefs of medium habitat coverage than on reefs with other coverages, while the blackeye goby exhibited lower recruitment on reefs of low coverage than on reefs with other coverages. Within reefs, recruitment to 'edge' habitat was lower than 'inside' the reef for each species. At the smallest scale, several measures of habitat structure were quantified within 1 m super(2) quadrats to identify microhabitat characteristics that might explain the distribution of recruits. Rugosity was an important characteristic for predicting the presence of recruits for each species at this small scale. The densities of recruits of California sheephead among treatments of habitat corresponded to the densities of Age 1+ (individuals which recruited during the previous year) California sheephead among treatments the following year, suggesting that spatial patterns of abundance may be established early in life. The abundance of predators did not appear to influence the patterns of recruitment observed for either species. Low densities of recruits for each species may have led to the patterns of recruitment observed through the processes of habitat selection at settlement and density-independent mortality. Longer temporal studies covering variable recruitment are needed to determine the importance of habitat structure relative to other processes.

The mechanism by which razor clams tolerate high levels of the toxin, domoic acid, in their tissues while still retaining normal nerve function is unknown. In our study, a domoic acid binding site was solubilized from razor clam siphon using a combination of Triton X-100 and digitonin. In a Scatchard analysis using [ super(3)H]kainic acid, the partially-purified membrane showed two distinct receptor sites, a high affinity, low capacity site with a KD (mean plus or minus S.E.) of 28 plus or minus 9.4nM and a maximal binding capacity of 12 plus or minus 3.8pmol/mg protein and a low affinity, high capacity site with a mM affinity for radiolabeled kainic acid, the latter site which was lost upon solubilization. Competition experiments showed that the rank order potency for competitive ligands in displacing [ super(3)H]kainate binding from the membrane-bound receptors was quisqualate > ibotenate > iodowillardiine = AMPA = fluorowillardiine > domoate > kainate > l-glutamate. At high micromolar concentrations, NBQX, NMDA and ATPA showed little or no ability to displace [ super(3)H]kainate. In contrast, Scatchard analysis using [ super(3)H]glutamate showed linearity, indicating the presence of a single binding site with a KD and Bmax of 500 plus or minus 50nM and 14 plus or minus 0.8pmol/mg protein, respectively. These results suggest that razor clam siphon contains both a high and low affinity receptor site for kainic acid and may contain more than one subtype of glutamate receptor, thereby allowing the clam to function normally in a marine environment that often contains high concentrations of domoic acid.

AN - 66754707; 15279836 AB - In chromosome breakage assays, validated, universal criteria for selection of cells and classification of chromosome aberrations may enhance their utility for cancer susceptibility screening. To standardize a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) modification of the mutagen sensitivity assay (MSA), scoring criteria were evaluated by web-based validation. Two hundred digital FISH images were assigned random identification numbers. With this set of images, criteria for inclusion of cells and measurement of the frequency of abnormal cells were evaluated by eight observers, all of whom had five or more years of experience. Observers included doctoral and MS/BS level cytogeneticists, and were drawn from a randomized pool of 54 volunteers. Questions addressed were: (1) how uniformly were criteria applied to analysis of a standard digital FISH image set and (2) did concordance vary with educational level? These data suggest inter-rater agreement within a factor of 2 for average breakage frequency, but revealed greater variability in cell selection. These results aid in estimating the components of assay variance due to definitions, technical parameters and biological variables.

Estuarine fish communities are likely to exhibit high levels of variation owing to the influence of riverine forcing and the importance of anadromous and transient species, whose abundances may not be locally controlled. We describe patterns of interannual variation and long-term shifts in the nearshore fish community of the mesohaline Hudson River estuary based on 21 yr of beach seine sampling conducted annually between late August and mid November. Of the 60 species encountered, the most abundant were Atlantic silversides (Menidia menidia), striped bass (Morone saxatilis), white perch (Morone americana), American shad (Alosa sapidissima), and blueback herring (Alosa aestivalis). Relationships between annual community composition and seasonal flow and temperature regimes were examined with canonical correspondence analysis. Annual variation was most closely correlated with river flows in the 3-mo period preceding fish sampling, indicating a persistent effect of environmental conditions on community structure. Despite significant interannual variation in composition, longer-term trends in community structure were observed. These included declines in catch rates of freshwater and estuarine species and a dramatic increase in the catch of Atlantic silversides, an annual marine species. Associated with these changes were declines in community diversity and increased compositional variation. These results indicate that analyses of temporal changes in community structure need to account for the multiple time scales under which forcing factors and community composition vary.

AN - 66904440; 15386148 AB - Past studies determined that concentrations of arsenic in the liver of flathead sole from Alaska were generally higher than those found in fish from other locations sampled along the west coast of the United States (Meador et al. 1994). A study was conducted to examine arsenic concentrations and patterns of bioaccumulation in fish and potential prey species from two geographic locations. Flathead sole were collected from four sites in the Gulf of Alaska and white croaker and English sole were collected from five sites in California. Potential prey species from each site were also examined and found to contain high concentrations of arsenic. In California, the sites with the lowest sediment concentrations of arsenic, total organic carbon, and acid-volatile sulfides (AVS) contained invertebrates with the highest tissue concentrations. Regression analysis determined that arsenic in polychaetes was highly correlated to sediment concentrations of arsenic normalized to AVS but was higher overall for the California samples. Even though invertebrates from several of the California sites exhibited much higher concentrations of arsenic than invertebrates from the Alaska sites, liver and muscle tissue from flathead sole collected in Alaska usually exhibited higher concentrations than fish from the California sites. When concentrations of arsenic in fish liver were plotted against concentrations of arsenic in sediment normalized to AVS levels, a very high correlation was obtained for all sites. This suggests that AVS, or some factor correlated with AVS, may have been responsible for controlling arsenic bioaccumulation in these fish species through dietary uptake and exposure to arsenic in water. Based on the available data, it appears that dietary uptake may be related to fish tissue concentrations, but uptake of aqueous arsenic may be responsible for the higher tissue concentrations in fish from Alaska.

AN - 66839711; 15341823 AB - A collaborative sampling cruise off the central California coast was conducted to evaluate contaminant transport pathways along and across the shelf in the spring of 2002. The area has a complex current structure and net transport routes are not known for sure. Sediment characteristics, and organic and trace metal contaminants were analyzed in sediments taken from locations near shore, out to the heads of several canyons. Relative to the continental shelf and Pioneer Canyon stations, DDT was found at higher concentrations in Ascension and Monterey Canyons. Monterey Bay still receives DDT from terrestrial runoff and may be the source of DDT found in Ascension Canyon. DDT concentrations in Monterey Bay biota indicate bioaccumulation is occurring at depth due to continuing input from the shore. Effects on the deep ocean benthic community is unknown.

It provides a profile of demographic and socio economic characteristics, such as region of birth, geographic distribution in the United States, age, educational attainment, earnings, and poverty status. These characteristics are compared with those of the native population and, because the foreign born are a heterogeneous group, variability within the foreign-born population is also discussed. The findings are based on data collected by the Census Bureau in the Current Population Survey (CPS). The foreign born are those who were not U.S. citizens at birth. Natives are those who were born in one of the following areas the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or the Northern Mariana Islands or were born abroad of at least one parent who was a U.S. citizen.

Here we compare hydrothermal plume surveys along three sections of the Gakkel Ridge (Arctic Ocean) and the Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR) to determine if hydrothermal activity is similarly distributed among these ultraslow ridge sections and if these distributions follow the hypothesized linear trend derived from surveys along fast ridges. Along the Gakkel Ridge, most apparent vent sites occur on volcanic highs, and the extraordinarily weak vertical density gradient of the deep Arctic permits plumes to rise above the axial bathymetry. Individual plumes can thus be extensively dispersed along axis, to distances >200 km, and approximately 75% of the total axial length surveyed is overlain by plumes. Detailed mapping of these plumes points to only 9-10 active sites in 850 km, however, yielding a site frequency F (sub s) , sites/100 km of ridge length, of 1.1-1.2. Plumes detected along the SWIR are considerably less extensive for two reasons: an apparent paucity of active vent fields on volcanic highs and a normal deep-ocean density gradient that prevents extended plume rise. Along a western SWIR section (10 degrees -23 degrees E) we identify 3-8 sites, so F (sub s) = 0.3-0.8; along a previously surveyed 440 km section of the eastern SWIR (58 degrees -66 degrees E), 6 sites yield Fs = 1.3. Plotting spreading rate (us) versus Fs, the ultraslow ridges and eight other ridge sections, spanning the global range of spreading rate, establish a robust linear trend (F (sub s) = 0.98+0.015us), implying that the long-term heat supply is the first-order control on the global distribution of hydrothermal activity. Normalizing Fs to the delivery rate of basaltic magma suggests that ultraslow ridges are several times more efficient than faster-spreading ridges in supporting active vent fields. This increased efficiency could derive from some combination of three-dimensional magma focusing at volcanic centers, deep mining of heat from gabbroic intrusions and direct cooling of the upper mantle, and nonmagmatic heat supplied by exothermic serpentinization.

In 1999 and 2000 the seals were removed, allowing crustal formation fluids to vent and be sampled. The composition of these fluids is compared to those of basal deep-sea pore waters, which have been the basis for estimating geochemical fluxes from low-temperature ridge flank hydrothermal systems. Estimates for the composition of the major ions in formation fluids based on basal pore waters are within 5% of the values measured in borehole fluids. Similar comparisons for minor and trace elements are not as good; some are reactive in the sediment section, resulting in large uncertainties in the pore water extrapolation, while others are influenced by a variety of contaminants, including steel, grease, drilling muds, and basal sediment. Evidence for contamination includes high dissolved and particulate concentrations of several metals (e.g., Fe, Cu, Co, Zn, and Pb) and measurable changes in concentration during the past four years in response to reaction with basal sediment. This new confidence in estimating the primary composition of formation fluids, coupled with advances in thermodynamic and kinetic models, reveals the possibility of anhydrite precipitation in ridge flank hydrothermal systems at temperatures of approximately 70 degrees C. Such new insights allow us to address the timing and conditions under which seawater-crustal reactions occur, leading to more accurate models of crustal evolution.

The decrease of the purposefully injected tracers, sulfur hexafluoride and helium-3, could be well described by gas exchange parameterizations with wind speed that satisfy global constraints based on bomb- (super 14) C uptake. The concentration decrease of tracers could be predicted slightly better with established relationships if gas transfer was modeled as a function of the cube rather than the square of the wind speed, particularly over a time interval with high and variable winds. However, both fits can model the concentration decrease within the uncertainty of the observations. This suggests that it will be singularly difficult to definitively determine if a quadratic or cubic dependence of gas exchange with wind is more appropriate based on deliberate tracer measurements.

In addition, it presents the simulated change in water availability that might be realised in a few centuries in response to a quadrupling of CO (sub 2) concentration in the atmosphere. Averaging the results over extended periods, the radiatively forced changes, which are very similar between the two sets of experiments, were successfully extracted. the analysis indicates that the discharges from Arctic rivers such as the Mackenzie and Ob' increase by up to 20% (of the pre-Industrial Period level) by the middle of the 21st century and by up to 40% or more in a few centuries. In the tropics, the discharges from the Amazonas and Ganga-Brahmaputra rivers increase substantially. However, the percentage changes in runoff from other tropical and many mid-latitude rivers are smaller, with both positive and negative signs. For soil moisture, the results of this study indicate reductions during much of the new year in many semiarid regions of the world, such as the southwestern region of North America, the northeastern region of China, the Mediterranean coast of Europe, and the grasslands of Australia and Africa. As a percentage, the reduction is particularly large during the dry season. From middle to high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, soil moisture decreases in summer but increases in winter.

The observations showed that diamond dust contributed only a negligible radiative effect to the sea ice surface. Surface radiative fluxes and radiative forcing values during diamond dust events were similar in magnitude when compared to observed clear-sky periods. Combined information from lidar, radar, and surface observers showed that diamond dust occurred similar to 13% of the time between November and mid-May over the Arctic Ocean and was not observed between mid-May and October. Diamond dust vertical depths, derived from lidar measurements, varied between 100 and 1000 m but were most often observed to be about 250 m. Lidar and radar measurements were analyzed to assess if precipitation from boundary layer clouds was present during times when surface observers reported diamond dust. This analysis revealed that surface observers had incorrectly coded diamond dust events similar to 45% of the time. The miscoded events occurred almost exclusively under conditions with limited or no illumination (December-March). In 95% of the miscoded reports, lidar measurements revealed the presence of thin liquid water clouds precipitating ice crystals down to the surface.

Heat shock protein 60 (Hsp 60), mitochondrial small heat shock protein (mitosHsp), chloroplastic small heat shock protein (chlsHsp), Mn superoxide dismutase (SOD), and Fe SOD were first identified by Western blotting. The induction of these proteins in laboratory cultures in response to elevated temperatures, hydrogen peroxide, lead, or elevated light intensities was next assessed. In parallel, F sub(V)/F sub(M), a measurement of photosynthetic efficiency and common proxy of cellular stress, was determined. Hsp 60, Fe SOD, and Mn SOD were induced following exposure to elevated temperatures, hydrogen peroxide, or lead. MitosHsp responded only to heat, whereas chlsHsp responded only to H sub(2)O sub(2)-induced stress. The expression of stress proteins and antioxidant enzymes appears to be a more sensitive indicator of heat or chemically induced stresses than F sub(V)/F sub(M). However, F sub(V)/F sub(M) decreased significantly in response to elevated light intensities that did not induce the expression of stress proteins. These results identify for the first time stress proteins and antioxidant enzymes in K. brevis, provide evidence for differential sensitivity of cellular organelles to various sources of stress, and confirm the presence of conserved stress responses observed across phyla in a dinoflagellate.

The analysis uses in situ (ship and buoy) and infrared (IR) satellite data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR). Beginning in December 1997, 'microwave' SSTs became available from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite Microwave Imager (TMI). Microwave SSTs have a significant coverage advantage over 'IR' SSTs because microwave SSTs can be retrieved in cloud-covered regions while IR SSTs cannot. However, microwave SSTs are at a much lower spatial resolution than the IR SSTs. In this study, the impact of SSTs derived from TMI was tested from the perspective of the OI analysis. Six different versions of the OI were produced weekly from 10 December 1997 to 1 January 2003 using different combinations of AVHRR and TMI data and including versions with and without a bias correction of the satellite data. To make the results more objective, 20% of the buoys were randomly selected and the SSTs from these buoys were withheld from the OI for independent verification. The results of the intercomparisons show that both AVHRR and TMI data have biases that must be corrected for climate studies. These biases change with time as physical properties of the atmosphere change and as satellite instruments and the orbits of the satellites, themselves, change. It is critical to monitor differences between satellite and other products to quickly diagnose any of these changes. For the OI analyses with bias correction, it is difficult using the withheld buoys to clearly demonstrate that there is a significant advantage in adding TMI data. The advantage of TMI data is clearly shown in the OI analyses without bias correction. Because IR and microwave satellite algorithms are affected by different sources of error, biases may tend to cancel when both TMI and AVHRR data are used in the OI. Bias corrections cannot be made in regions where there are no in situ data. In these regions, the results of the analyses without bias corrections apply. Because there are areas of the ocean with limited in situ data and restricted AVHRR coverage due to cloud cover, the use of both TMI and AVHRR should improve the accuracy of the analysis in these regions. In addition, the use of more than one satellite product is helpful in diagnosing problems in these products.

Current 30-day forecasts use accumulated freezing degree-days (AFDDs) to identify similar historical events and associated ice cover. The authors describe statistical models that relate future ice cover to current ice cover, AFDDs, and teleconnection indices, available on the day the forecast is made. These models are evaluated through Monte Carlo simulation and assess the potential of a perfect AFDD forecast in a regression between ice cover and AFDDs between the forecast date (first day of month) and the date for which the forecast is made (first day of next month).

This study presents a rare opportunity to assess capture-recapture estimates in a free-ranging population with known minimum abundance. Hawaiian monk seal abundance historically has been characterized using a trend index or has been estimated using simple enumeration. Here, I evaluate the applicability of various closed-population capture-recapture models to estimating Hawaiian monk seal abundance and its associated error. I analyzed 12 data sets (two years from each of six subpopulations) representing a wide variety of sampling and logistical scenarios, using models that explored the effects of animal size class (juvenile, subadult, or adult), tag status, and sighting location on initial capture and recapture probabilities. I also explored various models to account for capture heterogeneity among individuals. Size and sex effects always significantly improved model fits, and tag status and location effects were also frequently influential. In most cases, abundance estimated from capture-recapture models were substantially lower than known minimum abundance, suggesting the influence of individual capture heterogeneity. Attributes of individuals known to be alive, but not captured during systematic surveys, did not reveal patterns that explained sources of capture heterogeneity. In some cases, mixture models produced estimates that were less biased but were associated with very large confidence intervals. Among the model types examined, those available in Program CAPTURE performed best; although they are still prone to negative bias, these models nevertheless may prove useful in characterizing population trends in Hawaiian monk seals. This study demonstrates that selection of appropriate closed capture-recapture models can be substantially improved by independent validation.

This paper addresses four such problems: sampling error, density dependence, nonstable age structure, and population supplementation that mask the true population status. Estimating trends and extinction risks using such corrupted data presents serious parameter estimation difficulties. Here I review diffusion approximation (DA) methods for estimating population status and risks from time series data. A variety of parameterization methods are available for DA models; some correct for data corruption and others do not. I illustrate how stochastic Leslie matrix models can be used to evaluate the performance of a proposed DA model and to select among different DA parameterization methods for a given application. Presenting the uncertainty in estimated risks is critical, especially when the data are highly corrupted and estimated parameters are more uncertain. Using a Bayesian approach, I demonstrate how the level of data support for different risk levels can be calculated using DA parameter likelihood functions.

Previous studies developed bioactive composites containing hydroxyapatite fillers in Bis-GMA-based composites for bone repair applications, and they possessed higher strength values. However, these strengths were still lower than the strength of cortical bone. The aim of this study was to develop strong and bioactive composites by combining CPC fillers with nano-silica-fused whiskers in a resin matrix, and to characterize the mechanical properties and cell response. Silica particles were fused to silicon carbide whiskers to roughen the whisker surfaces for enhanced retention in the matrix. Mass ratios of whisker:CPC of 1:2, 1:1 and 2:1 were incorporated into a Bis-GMA-based resin and hardened by two-part chemical curing. Composite with only CPC fillers without whiskers served as a control. The specimens were tested using three-point flexure and nano-indentation. Composites with whisker:CPC ratios of 2:1 and 1:1 had flexural strengths (mean+/-SD; n=9) of (164+/-14) MPa and (139+/-22) MPa, respectively, nearly 3 times higher than (54+/-5) MPa of the control containing only CPC fillers (p<0.05). The strength of the new whisker-CPC composites was 3 times higher than the strength achieved in previous studies for conventional bioactive composites containing hydroxyapatite particles in Bis-GMA-based resins. The mechanical properties of the CPC-whisker composites nearly matched those of cortical bone and trabecular bone. Osteoblast-like cell adhesion, proliferation and viability were equivalent on the non-whisker control containing only CPC fillers, on the whisker composite at whisker:CPC of 1:1, and on the tissue culture polystyrene control, suggesting that the new CPC-whisker composite was non-cytotoxic.

Traditional methods of counting cells in the microscope or colonies on petri dishes are labor-intensive and subject to limitations in both accuracy and precision. In water samples containing microalgae, bacteria, and other microorganisms, as well as non-living, suspended matter, proxy measurements, such as optical density, chlorophyll fluorescence, or packed-cell volume, are subject to error from interference of one particle type with another or inability to distinguish which types of particles are contributing to the measurement. Thus, particle enumeration often limits the temporal or spatial resolution of data. We have addressed this limitation with an admittedly sophisticated tool, the flow cytometer--not a tool expected to be available to most aquaculturists, but a versatile one if available! The flow-cytometric (fcm) protocol we have been developing uses ratios of particles detected in the water sample with a known number of fluorescent, plastic microspheres added to the sample. Microalgal cells are differentiated from other particles by size and chlorophyll fluorescence measured in two detectors, and living particles have been differentiated from non-living by staining with several DNA-binding fluorochromes measured in a third detector. Identities of particles can be confirmed by physically sorting cells and observing them in the microscope. Microalgal counts in both pure and open-tank (bacterized) cultures by our fcm method agree very well with microscope counts (R super(2) > 0.9999) over three orders of magnitude (10 super(4)-10 super(7)), and bacterial counts from pure cultures agree reasonably well with plate counts. In open-tank microalgal cultures, clumping of bacteria in aggregates has made interpretation of counts difficult, but we are addressing this limitation with various anti-aggregating compounds with some success. Compared with plate counts, fcm counts of bacteria in microalgal tank cultures at least are in the same order of magnitude. Processing time for each sample, including addition of reagents, fcm data acquisition, and data reduction, is approximately 3 minutes, which we estimate to be 1/3 the time for an algal microscope count alone. The labor saved is considerably greater if samples need to be settled and concentrated or diluted for valid hemocytometer microscope counts. The fcm method provides, in addition, some quantification of bacteria (subject to interpretation) and non-living particles with no further effort. We are applying this fcm, particle-counting method to studies of microbial and nutrient dynamics in open-tank, mass algal cultures.

However, the population-level effects on coho salmon resulting from the widespread removal of millions of beaver and their dams from Pacific Coast watersheds have not been examined. We assessed the current and historic distributions of beaver ponds and other coho salmon rearing habitat in the Stillaguamish River, a 1,771-km super(2) drainage basin in Washington and found that the greatest reduction in coho salmon smolt production capacity originated from the extensive loss of beaver ponds. We estimated the current summer smolt production potential (SPP) to be 965,000 smolts, compared with a historic summer SPP of 2.5 million smolts. Overall, current summer habitat capacity was reduced by 61% compared with historic levels, most of the reduction resulting from the loss of beaver ponds. Current summer SPP from beaver ponds and sloughs was reduced by 89% and 68%, respectively, compared with historic SPP. A more dramatic reduction in winter habitat capacity was found; the current winter SPP was estimated at 971,000 smolts, compared with a historic winter SPP of 7.1 million smolts. In terms of winter habitat capacity, we estimated a 94% reduction in beaver pond SPP, a 68% loss in SPP of sloughs, a 9% loss in SPP of tributary habitat, and an overall SPP reduction of 86%. Most of the overall reduction resulted from the loss of beaver ponds. Our analysis suggests that summer habitat historically limited smolt production capacity, whereas both summer and winter habitats currently exert equal limits on production. Watershed-scale restoration activities designed to increase coho salmon production should emphasize the creation of ponds and other slow-water environments; increasing beaver populations may be a simple and effective means of creating slow- water habitat.

AN - 17487684; 6146606 AB - Field observations and laboratory studies showing a variety of harmful effects of Prorocentrum minimum upon molluscan shellfish have not resulted in a consensus on whether P. minimum "is toxic" to grazing molluscs. Mortalities of marine life coincident with natural blooms of P. minimum sometimes seem to be associated with resultant hypoxia, but not always. Laboratory experiments testing the response of grazing molluscs to P. minimum cultures have yielded variable results, ranging from mortality to normal growth, and including rejection as pseudofeces, poor development, tissue pathologies (sometimes transient), and systemic immune responses. The variability in trophic interactions between P. minimum and molluscan shellfish suggests variation in the expression of "toxicity" in this species, although a specific chemical compound has not been identified as "the toxin." Several recent studies have provided strong evidence that variation in toxicity is dependent upon environmental conditions and their effects upon the physiology of P. minimum. Accordingly, seemingly conflicting observations from field and laboratory studies may be explained by the transient nature of toxin expression in this dinoflagellate.

The model analytically derives the shadow price (estimated economic value) for dolphin mortality, the fishing-fleet size, and the annual tuna harvest as functions of a few key fishing parameters. The model also provides a statistical method to determine the accuracy of all needed parameter estimates. The paper then applies the model to the year 1996 and the period from 1985 to 1987. The shadow price measures the economic value to the US tuna fleet of dolphins lost in the harvesting of tuna. This value is essential when attempting to evaluate the economic benefits and costs to society of any action designed to reduce the mortality of dolphins in the harvesting of tuna in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.

Several recent observational studies indicate that vertical wind shear is an important factor affecting stratiform cloud fraction and cloud overlap. This study further examines wind shear effects on cloud properties (including cloud fraction and cloud optical depth) and associated top of atmosphere (TOA) and surface radiative fluxes, using observations from the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere program's Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE) experiment and long-term satellite measurements. Wind shear affects cloud-radiative fluxes, through both the cloud fraction and optical thickness, in a strong and systematic way. In typical convecting conditions, shear-induced additional cloudiness can reduce outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) by 10s of Wm super(-2), implying longwave radiative changes on the order of 10% of the total latent heating. Such cloud also reflects shortwave radiation, reducing surface downward flux (energy input to the ocean) by 10s of Wm super(-2). Current climate models lack these effects.

Toxicokinetic coefficients, bioaccumulation factors (BAF), and biota-sediment accumulation factors ([BSAF], BAF normalized to the organism lipid content and sediment organic carbon content) were determined. The contaminant desorption rates from sediments were measured with a Tenax resin extraction technique. The desorption rate constants for rapid, slow, and very slow contaminant compartments and the fractions of contaminant in each compartment were compared with the toxicokinetic coefficients, BAF, and BSAF to describe contaminant behavior across sediments, among compounds, and between species. The best description of the bioavailability was the log BSAF regressed against the fraction rapidly desorbed (F sub(rapid)) across all sediments and compounds for both species, r super(2) = 0.67 and 0.66 for L. variegatus and Diporeia, respectively. Use of a calculated fraction desorbed in 6 h or 24 h, which has been suggested as a surrogate for F sub(rapid), did not produce as predictive a regression because of uneven desorption in a fixed duration for each compound among the sediments. Thus, F sub(rapid) provided a good surrogate for the bioavailability of the sediment-sorbed contaminant as represented by BSAF across seven sediments and four compounds with predictions within a factor of approximately two of the measured value.

Part I: Method Description, Validation, and Demonstration for the August 2002 Flooding in Central Europe AN - 16188134; 5988845 AB - Understanding and quantifying the relationships between evaporation of water in one region, precipitation in another, and the transport processes connecting them, is one of the key problems in hydrometeorology. However, to date few methods exist that are suitable for establishing these relationships. In this paper, a new Lagrangian technique is described that builds on methods that have been developed for investigating source-receptor relationships for air pollutants. It is based on meteorological analysis data and a particle dispersion model and uses a Lagrangian analog to the Eulerian budget method to diagnose the surface moisture flux. Because of its Lagrangian nature, regions of net evaporation are connected by trajectories with regions of net precipitation, and these trajectories can be used to examine how the two are related. The method is shown to yield estimates for the global distribution of the annual mean surface freshwater flux that are equally accurate as those obtained with the Eulerian budget method. It is then applied in a case study of an extreme precipitation event that occurred in central Europe in August 2002 and led to floodings with return periods of 100 to 300 yr in some river catchments. Again it is shown that the moisture fluxes obtained with the Lagrangian and Eulerian method, respectively, agree well with each other, and both agree well with observed precipitation patterns and short-range precipitation forecasts. Then the new method is used to determine where the water that became precipitation during the flooding event has evaporated. It is found that in addition to a strong Mediterranean source, much of the water evaporated from land. The strong extra evaporation over land was likely due to a wet spell the weeks before that left soils saturated with water in large parts of Europe and flooded in some smaller regions. It appears that precipitation forecasts suffered from predicting too little evaporation in these regions.

The more common approach is the offline system, which only allows one-way coupling from the meteorology - sampled at fixed time intervals - to the chemistry. To study the information loss between online and offline numerical forecasts, a next-generation nonhydrostatic air quality modeling system has been developed that can be used both offline or online. First, a control online air quality simulation is conducted and the meteorology and chemical data are saved at a 10 s time interval. Subsequently, three offline simulations are conducted with meteorological data updates at 10, 30, and 60 min time intervals. Analysis of the wind velocity power spectrum and chemical profiles indicate that the offline simulations are susceptible to large errors in the vertical mass distribution.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE SHRIMP FISHERY OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC REGION (DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF FEBRUARY 1981). AN - 36363248; 10909-040361_0001 AB - PURPOSE: A fifth amendment to the management plan for the shrimp fishery in the South Atlantic Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is proposed. The amendment would incorporate seven actions to modify the current fishery management plan. Four of the actions would address the federal mandates to developed a standardized methodology to assess the amount and type of bycatch in the fishery and to include conservation and management measures that minimize, to the extend practicable, the mortality of bycatch that cannot be avoided. The amendment would address bycatch through investigating various ways to reduce bycatch in the fishery by amending the bycatch reduction device testing protocol system, adjusting the criteria for the certification of new bycatch reduction devices (BRDs) and establishing a method to monitor and assess bycatch regularly in the penaeid and rock shrimp fisheries. Additional actions proposed by the council would establish status determination criteria, or proxies thereof, as necessary, for white, brown, pink, and rock shrimp, and would require that vessels participating in the shrimp fisheries possess a federal penaeid shrimp permit. More specifically, the preferred alternative would: 1) withdraw the BRD testing protocol from the management plan and transfer to the federal authority the authority to make appropriate revisions to the protocol; 2) require that certification of a new BRD be supported by evidence that the device could reduce the total weight of finfish bycatch by at least 30 percent; 3) adopt the Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistics Program Release, Discard, and Protected Species Module as the preferred methodology, requiring the use of a variety of sources of information to assess and monitor bycatch until the module is fully funded; 4) require that a federally approved BRD be used on all rock shrimp trips in the South Atlantic; and 5) require all shrimp trawlers hold a valid commercial vessel permit if that trawler is to fish for, or possess, penaeid shrimp unless the trawler is in transit in the South Atlantic EEZ and no trawl net or try net aboard the vessel is rigged for fishing. A federal penaeid shrimp permit would be issued to any vessel owner who submits an application. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In general, the amendment would assist in the protection of the rock shrimp stock, while protecting the economic interests of vessel owners. The increased information from a permit system and bycatch reporting would significantly improve management of the fishery resource and provide associated long-term socioeconomic benefits. The other proposed actions would generate beneficial effects, either directly or indirectly, to the industry, the shrimp resource, and other species identified in the affected environment. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The permit system and bycatch reporting methodology would present direct costs to the industry related to application fees and the completion of paper logbook data, respectively.

[Part 1 of 4] T2 - AMENDMENT 16-3 TO THE PACIFIC COAST GROUNDFISH MANAGEMENT PLAN REBUILDING PLANS FOR BOCACCIO, COWCOD, WIDOW ROCKFISH, AND YELLOWEYE ROCKFISH. AN - 36373501; 10895-040345_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery management plan (FMP) is proposed to set strategic rebuilding parameters to guide stock rebuilding for bocaccio, cowcod, widow rockfish, and yelloweye rockfish. The fishery management plan would address fishing effort with respect to these species within the Exclusive Economic Zone off the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington. The Department of Commerce has declared nine fish species managed under the FMP to be overfished. Amendment 16-3, proposed here, would adopt rebuilding plans for four of the nine species in order to rebuild these stocks to a size capable of supporting maximum sustainable yield (MSY) or to a stock size less than this if such stock size results in long-term net benefit to the nation. This final EIS evaluates alternatives offering various strategic rebuilding parameters covering harvest rate, the probability that each stock would rebuild in the maximum statutorily permitted time period, and the median, or most likely, year in which the stock would be rebuilt to its target biomass. A range of management measures, implemented through the biennial harvest specification process, would be used to constrain total fishing mortality within levels identified by these parameters. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered in this EIS. Each alternative specifies strategic rebuilding parameters in terms of fishing mortality rate, the estimated probability of rebuilding a stock within a standard time period, and the target year for a fish stock to be completely rebuilt. Trip limits, catch quotas, area closures, season limits, and gear restrictions would be typical of the management measures adopted to control fishing effort. The preferred alternative would be a combination of the four action alternatives under consideration. For 2005, optimum yields for bocaccio, cowcod, widow rockfish, and yelloweye rockfish would beset at 307 metric tons, 4.2 metric tons, 0.0093 metric tons, and 0.0153 metric tons. Respective target years for rebuilding of the stocks are 2023, 2090, 2038, and 2071. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed measures would assist in allowing the stocks of the four target species to be return to MSY levels or levels coming close enough to MSY to prevent any of the species from being classified as endangered under federal criteria. The economic viability of the fisheries would be maintained. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some MSY recovery periods would be extremely protracted, placing the affected species at risk for significant population declines at times during the rebuilding period. Fishery closures and other restrictions would result in economic stress for some fishing communities. Damage to fishery habitat would depend on the intensity of fishing effort in local areas.

Principal component analysis (PCA) images with and without 12 mu m IR data were compared subjectively for six weak to moderate eruptions using pattern recognition techniques, and objectively by determining a false detection rate parameter. GOES Sounder data were also evaluated in a few instances to assess any potential contributions from the new 13.3 mu m Imager band. Results indicated that, during periods of daylight, there was little apparent difference in the quality of IR detection without the 12 mu m IR, likely due to a maximum in solar reflectance of silicate ash in a shortwave IR (SWIR) band centered near 3.9 mu m. At night when SWIR reflectance diminished, the ash detection capability appeared to be significantly worse, evidenced by increased ambiguity between volcanic ash and meteorological clouds or surface features. The possible effects of this degradation on aviation operations are discussed. The new 13.3 mu m IR band on GOES has the capability to help distinguish ash from cirrus clouds, but not from low level clouds consisting of water droplets.Multi-spectral data from higher resolution polar orbiting satellites may also be used to supplement analyses from lower resolution GOES for long-lived ash cloud events. The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments appear to be the best options in accomplishing this, with additional satellite missions becoming available later in the decade. In summary, it will still be possible to observe and track significant volcanic ash clouds in the GOES-M through Q era (2003-2012) without the benefit of 12 mu m IR data, but with some degradation that will be most significant at night.

AN - 36436223; 10896 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of two existing fish hatcheries and the construction of two new hatchery facilities are proposed to the Grande Ronde and Imnaha river subbasins to assist in the conservation and recovery of chinook salmon native to these areas. The existing hatcheries, the Lookingglass Hatchery in the Grande Ronde subbasin and the Imnaha Satellite Facility in the Imnaha subbasin, have become over-extended, outdated, or otherwise unsuitable for producing the numbers of hatchery fish necessary to recover the threatened Chinook stocks. The proposed action and a No Action Alternative are considered in this abbreviated final EIS, which is accompanied by the draft EIS under separate cover. Modifications to the Lookingglass hatchery would be made to better accommodate the Catherine Creek and Upper Grande Ronde components of the production program and to transfer other stock responsibilities to facilities on natal streams. Modifications to the Imnaha Satellite Facility's existing adult collection and acclimation system would allow the collection of broodstock over a greater range of flows and the holding, spawning, and incubation of salmon before transport. The newly proposed hatcheries would include the Lostine River Hatchery and Lostine Adult Collection Facility, both of which are on the Lostine River in the Grande Ronde subbasin The Lostine River Hatchery would accommodate the Lostine River component of the production program by incbating and rearing chinook salmon near their natal waters. The Lostine Adult Collection Facility would collect adult Chinook for spawning at the Losting River Hatchery at higher flows. All proposed sites are privately owned, excepting the existing Imnaha Satellite Facility, which operates within the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest under special use permit to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Upgrading of the existing facilities would ameliorate flaws in those facilities, returning them to appropriate levels of spring/summer salmon production and rearing. The newly constructed facilities would help alleviate problems rising from the possibility of fish production failure or a disease epidemic at the existing hatcheries. Together, the facilities would allow hatchery fish production, evaluation and, monitoring programs described in the Northeast Oregon Hatcher Program Spring Chinook Master Plan. Access by Native Americans to additional fishery resources would be improved, and the recreational fishery in the affected streams and rivers would be enhanced.

AN - 36374173; 10896-040346_0008 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of two existing fish hatcheries and the construction of two new hatchery facilities are proposed to the Grande Ronde and Imnaha river subbasins to assist in the conservation and recovery of chinook salmon native to these areas. The existing hatcheries, the Lookingglass Hatchery in the Grande Ronde subbasin and the Imnaha Satellite Facility in the Imnaha subbasin, have become over-extended, outdated, or otherwise unsuitable for producing the numbers of hatchery fish necessary to recover the threatened Chinook stocks. The proposed action and a No Action Alternative are considered in this abbreviated final EIS, which is accompanied by the draft EIS under separate cover. Modifications to the Lookingglass hatchery would be made to better accommodate the Catherine Creek and Upper Grande Ronde components of the production program and to transfer other stock responsibilities to facilities on natal streams. Modifications to the Imnaha Satellite Facility's existing adult collection and acclimation system would allow the collection of broodstock over a greater range of flows and the holding, spawning, and incubation of salmon before transport. The newly proposed hatcheries would include the Lostine River Hatchery and Lostine Adult Collection Facility, both of which are on the Lostine River in the Grande Ronde subbasin The Lostine River Hatchery would accommodate the Lostine River component of the production program by incbating and rearing chinook salmon near their natal waters. The Lostine Adult Collection Facility would collect adult Chinook for spawning at the Losting River Hatchery at higher flows. All proposed sites are privately owned, excepting the existing Imnaha Satellite Facility, which operates within the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest under special use permit to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Upgrading of the existing facilities would ameliorate flaws in those facilities, returning them to appropriate levels of spring/summer salmon production and rearing. The newly constructed facilities would help alleviate problems rising from the possibility of fish production failure or a disease epidemic at the existing hatcheries. Together, the facilities would allow hatchery fish production, evaluation and, monitoring programs described in the Northeast Oregon Hatcher Program Spring Chinook Master Plan. Access by Native Americans to additional fishery resources would be improved, and the recreational fishery in the affected streams and rivers would be enhanced.

All proposed sites are privately owned, excepting the existing Imnaha Satellite Facility, which operates within the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest under special use permit to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Upgrading of the existing facilities would ameliorate flaws in those facilities, returning them to appropriate levels of spring/summer salmon production and rearing. The newly constructed facilities would help alleviate problems rising from the possibility of fish production failure or a disease epidemic at the existing hatcheries. Together, the facilities would allow hatchery fish production, evaluation and, monitoring programs described in the Northeast Oregon Hatcher Program Spring Chinook Master Plan. Access by Native Americans to additional fishery resources would be improved, and the recreational fishery in the affected streams and rivers would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Varying amounts of native vegetation would be displaced by facility structures, and some loss of riparian habitat would be anticipated. Less than one acre of wetland would be lost. Extremely dry periods could result in low flows within hatchery facilities. Instream structures would slightly constrict river flows in the wild and scenic river corridor, and would mar visual aesthetics somewhat LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Pacific Northwest Electric Power and Conservation Act of 1980 (16 U.S.C. 839 et seq.), and Public Law 94-587.

The existing hatcheries, the Lookingglass Hatchery in the Grande Ronde subbasin and the Imnaha Satellite Facility in the Imnaha subbasin, have become over-extended, outdated, or otherwise unsuitable for producing the numbers of hatchery fish necessary to recover the threatened Chinook stocks. The proposed action and a No Action Alternative are considered in this abbreviated final EIS, which is accompanied by the draft EIS under separate cover. Modifications to the Lookingglass hatchery would be made to better accommodate the Catherine Creek and Upper Grande Ronde components of the production program and to transfer other stock responsibilities to facilities on natal streams. Modifications to the Imnaha Satellite Facility's existing adult collection and acclimation system would allow the collection of broodstock over a greater range of flows and the holding, spawning, and incubation of salmon before transport. The newly proposed hatcheries would include the Lostine River Hatchery and Lostine Adult Collection Facility, both of which are on the Lostine River in the Grande Ronde subbasin The Lostine River Hatchery would accommodate the Lostine River component of the production program by incbating and rearing chinook salmon near their natal waters. The Lostine Adult Collection Facility would collect adult Chinook for spawning at the Losting River Hatchery at higher flows. All proposed sites are privately owned, excepting the existing Imnaha Satellite Facility, which operates within the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest under special use permit to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Upgrading of the existing facilities would ameliorate flaws in those facilities, returning them to appropriate levels of spring/summer salmon production and rearing. The newly constructed facilities would help alleviate problems rising from the possibility of fish production failure or a disease epidemic at the existing hatcheries. Together, the facilities would allow hatchery fish production, evaluation and, monitoring programs described in the Northeast Oregon Hatcher Program Spring Chinook Master Plan. Access by Native Americans to additional fishery resources would be improved, and the recreational fishery in the affected streams and rivers would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Varying amounts of native vegetation would be displaced by facility structures, and some loss of riparian habitat would be anticipated. Less than one acre of wetland would be lost. Extremely dry periods could result in low flows within hatchery facilities. Instream structures would slightly constrict river flows in the wild and scenic river corridor, and would mar visual aesthetics somewhat LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Pacific Northwest Electric Power and Conservation Act of 1980 (16 U.S.C. 839 et seq.), and Public Law 94-587.

AN - 36355030; 10896-040346_0010 AB - PURPOSE: The improvement of two existing fish hatcheries and the construction of two new hatchery facilities are proposed to the Grande Ronde and Imnaha river subbasins to assist in the conservation and recovery of chinook salmon native to these areas. The existing hatcheries, the Lookingglass Hatchery in the Grande Ronde subbasin and the Imnaha Satellite Facility in the Imnaha subbasin, have become over-extended, outdated, or otherwise unsuitable for producing the numbers of hatchery fish necessary to recover the threatened Chinook stocks. The proposed action and a No Action Alternative are considered in this abbreviated final EIS, which is accompanied by the draft EIS under separate cover. Modifications to the Lookingglass hatchery would be made to better accommodate the Catherine Creek and Upper Grande Ronde components of the production program and to transfer other stock responsibilities to facilities on natal streams. Modifications to the Imnaha Satellite Facility's existing adult collection and acclimation system would allow the collection of broodstock over a greater range of flows and the holding, spawning, and incubation of salmon before transport. The newly proposed hatcheries would include the Lostine River Hatchery and Lostine Adult Collection Facility, both of which are on the Lostine River in the Grande Ronde subbasin The Lostine River Hatchery would accommodate the Lostine River component of the production program by incbating and rearing chinook salmon near their natal waters. The Lostine Adult Collection Facility would collect adult Chinook for spawning at the Losting River Hatchery at higher flows. All proposed sites are privately owned, excepting the existing Imnaha Satellite Facility, which operates within the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest under special use permit to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Upgrading of the existing facilities would ameliorate flaws in those facilities, returning them to appropriate levels of spring/summer salmon production and rearing. The newly constructed facilities would help alleviate problems rising from the possibility of fish production failure or a disease epidemic at the existing hatcheries. Together, the facilities would allow hatchery fish production, evaluation and, monitoring programs described in the Northeast Oregon Hatcher Program Spring Chinook Master Plan. Access by Native Americans to additional fishery resources would be improved, and the recreational fishery in the affected streams and rivers would be enhanced. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Varying amounts of native vegetation would be displaced by facility structures, and some loss of riparian habitat would be anticipated. Less than one acre of wetland would be lost. Extremely dry periods could result in low flows within hatchery facilities. Instream structures would slightly constrict river flows in the wild and scenic river corridor, and would mar visual aesthetics somewhat LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.), Pacific Northwest Electric Power and Conservation Act of 1980 (16 U.S.C. 839 et seq.), and Public Law 94-587.

Larvae from several spawns were reared at a salinity of 31 and a temperature of 28 degree C. Yolk utilization rate, changes in body parameters and the development of morphological characters were observed. Maximum standard length (L sub(s)) and body depth were observed concurrently with yolk-sac exhaustion at 56 h postfertilization (hpf). A decrease in L sub(s), body width and body depth was observed following yolk-sac exhaustion. Orbit pigmentation, followed by jaw articulation, were observed at 65 hpf. Substantial cranial and body cavity development occurred in the absence of visible yolk material. Complete absence of visible yolk-sac material and less than 2% of the oil globule volume at hatching were observed at the time of development of feeding ability. This indicates an absence of a transitional feeding period and the critical nature of first-feeding in this species within controlled environments.

AN - 36436071; 10870 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to minimize the impacts of the Atlantic herring fishery on essential fish habitat (EFH) is proposed. The EFH components of the herring fishery management plan (FMP) were developed as a component of an Omnibus Amendment prepared by the New England Fishery Management Council. During development of the FMP, a lawsuit brought by several environmental organizations resulted in a ruling by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on September 13, 2000. In that ruling, the Court enjoined the defendants from enforcing the EFH amendments that were challenged in the suit, which included amendments to all of the Council's fishery management plans, until such time as the Council performed a new and thorough environmental assessment or EIS for each of the EFH amendments. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would perpetuate the current management regime and is identified as the preferred alternative, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 2 would modify the regulatory definition of midwater trawl gear. Alternative 3 would prohibit the use of midwater trawl gear in Habitat Closed Areas. Alternative 4 would prohibit the use of midwater trawls in the Gulf of Maine, the area to coincide with herring management area 1. The analysis of the alternatives supports the conclusions that gears used in the directed herring fishery, primarily purse seine and midwater trawl gear, generate habitat impacts that are minor and no more than temporary in nature. Hence, the need to implement measures to minimize impacts of the fishery on EFH does not exist and the No Action Alternative is appropriate. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The No Action Alternative would allow appropriate management of the fishery following the Court's decision. Economic exploitation of the fishery could continue without significant ecological damage. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: As mentioned above, use of the fishery would result in some, largely insignificant, damage to EFH.

AN - 71912961; 15134938 AB - Methacrylated beta-cyclodextrin (MCD) is a candidate dental monomer that can complex molecules within its hydrophobic cavity. This study determined the effects of complexation of polymerization initiators such as camphorquinone (CQ) and ethyl-4-dimethylaminobenzoate (4E) with MCD on the flexural strength (FS) and degree of conversion (DC) of resulting dental composite formulations. Complexation of CQ and 4E with MCD was studied by thin layer chromatography. A mass fraction of 44% 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate or triethyleneglycoldimethacrylate was mixed separately with a mass fraction of 56% MCD to produce a workable formulation. The mixture was activated with varied amounts of CQ and 4E. One part by mass of the activated resin formulation was mixed with three parts by mass of glass filler. Specimens for FS were prepared by filling molds with composites and curing for 2 min. The cured specimens were immersed in 37 degrees C water for 24 h and FS was measured with an Instron machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. DC in MCD-based resin formulations was measured with a differential photocalorimeter under nitrogen. MCD appears to form inclusion complexes with CQ and 4E. As a result, FS and DC of MCD-based composites vary significantly as a function of the concentration of polymerization initiators used in the formulations. Complexation of polymerization initiators with MCD can influence the FS and DC in MCD-based dental formulations and should be taken into consideration when evaluating MCD as a dental monomer.

AN - 66677878; 15238280 AB - Widespread and persistent organochlorine (OC) contaminants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and pesticides, are known to have broad-ranging toxicities in wildlife. In this study we investigated, for the first time, their possible health effects on loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta). Nonlethal fat biopsies and blood samples were collected from live turtles for OC contaminant analysis, and concentrations were compared with clinical health assessment data, including hematology, plasma chemistry, and body condition. Concentrations of total PCBs (Sigma PCBs), Sigma DDTs, Sigma chlordanes, dieldrin, and mirex were determined in 44 fat biopsies and 48 blood samples. Blood concentrations of Sigma chlordanes were negatively correlated with red blood cell counts, hemoglobin, and hematocrit, indicative of anemia. Positive correlations were observed between most classes of OC contaminants and white blood cell counts and between mirex and Sigma TCDD-like PCB concentrations and the heterophil:lymphocyte ratio, suggesting modulation of the immune system. All classes of OCs in the blood except dieldrin were correlated positively with aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity, indicating possible hepatocellular damage. Mirex and Sigma TCDD-like PCB blood concentrations were negatively correlated with alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. Significant correlations to levels of certain OC contaminant classes also suggested possible alteration of protein (increasing blood urea nitrogen, decreasing albumin:globulin ratio), carbohydrate (decreasing glucose), and ion (increasing sodium, decreasing magnesium) regulation. These correlations suggest that OC contaminants may be affecting the health of loggerhead sea turtles even though sea turtles accumulate lower concentrations of OCs compared with other wildlife.

AN - 66663518; 15220064 AB - We argue that the need to reduce human exposure to mercury in the Great Lakes Basin and thus reduce the risk of adverse effects can be accomplished only by reducing the quantity of all mercury species cycling in the ecosystem. It is pointed out that much can be learned from experiences with PCBs. PCB concentrations and exposures have been reduced, in part, because a clear picture has been established of relative sources and PCB' s environmental fate in the form of mass balance models, which document the "big picture" of PCB behavior at a range of scales. It is suggested that a similar strategy is needed for mercury as part of the effort to protect human health throughout the entire Great Lakes ecosystem.

AN - 66661904; 15220060 AB - A special version of the NOAA HYSPLIT_4 model has been developed and used to estimate the atmospheric fate and transport of mercury in a North American modeling domain. Spatial and chemical interpolation procedures were used to expand the modeling results and provide estimates of the contribution of each source in a 1996 anthropogenic US/Canadian emissions inventory to atmospheric mercury deposition to the Great Lakes. While there are uncertainties in the emissions inventories and ambient data suitable for model evaluation are scarce, model results were found to be reasonably consistent with wet deposition measurements in the Great Lakes region and with independent measurement-based estimates of deposition to Lake Michigan. Sources up to 2000 km from the Great Lakes contributed significant amounts of mercury through atmospheric transport and deposition. While there were significant contributions from incineration and metallurgical sources, coal combustion was generally found to be the largest contributor to atmospheric mercury deposition to the Great Lakes.

Household Economics Studies. Current Population Reports. P70-95 AN - 62126294; ED484522 AB - As measured by the most recent income data available from the Current Population Survey (CPS), between 1996 and 2002 median household income increased 4.7 percent more than inflation. That statistic compares a "snapshot" of households in 1996 with another "snapshot" in 2002. This report uses the most recent longitudinal data available from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), to examine movements in the incomes of the same households within the income distribution during the first part of this period (1996 to 1999.) A longitudinal survey captures changes for the same individuals over a period of time. The 1996 SIPP panel is a longitudinal survey that tried to interview 36,700 households 12 times at 4 month intervals from April 1996 through March 2000, following all members of the original sample household. Demographic and economic characteristics for the same households, families, and individuals were gathered during each interview, whereas special topics varied from interview to interview. The SIPP collects more detailed data than any other national survey on general income sources and amounts; program eligibility, access and participation; transfer income; and in kind benefits.

EC02-61I-01. AN - 62126110; ED484443 AB - In this report, information is provided about the Educational Services sector (sector 61), which comprises establishments that provide instruction and training in a wide variety of subjects. This instruction and training is provided by specialized establishments, such as schools, colleges, universities, and training centers. These establishments may be privately owned and operated for profit or not for profit, or they may be publicly owned and operated. They may also offer food and accommodation services to their students. Educational services are usually delivered by teachers or instructors that explain, tell, demonstrate, supervise, and direct learning. Instruction is imparted in diverse settings, such as educational institutions, the workplace, or the home through correspondence, television, or other means. It can be adapted to the particular needs of the students, for example sign language can replace verbal language for teaching students with hearing impairments. All industries in the sector share this commonality of process, namely, labor inputs of instructors with the requisite subject matter expertise and teaching ability. Data for this sector are shown for establishments of firms subject to federal income tax, and separately, of firms that are exempt from federal income tax under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Many of the "kinds of business" included in this sector are not thought of as commercial businesses and the terms (such as "business," "establishment," and "firm") used to describe them may not be descriptive of such services. However, these terms are applied to all "kinds of business" in order to maintain conformity in the measures of the production and delivery of goods and services and in the presentation of data. Reports providing statistics on this sector include the following: Industry Series; Geographic Area Series; Subject Series, such as Product Lines, Establishment and Firm Size (Including Legal Form of Organization), and Miscellaneous Subjects; ZIP Code Statistics; and Other Reports. Appended are: (1) Explanation of Terms; (2) NAICS Codes, Titles, and Descriptions; and (3) Methodology.

This acidification process has changed the saturation state of the oceans with respect to calcium carbonate (CaCO (sub 3) ) particles. Here we estimate the in situ CaCO (sub 3) dissolution rates for the global oceans from total alkalinity and chlorofluorocarbon data, and we also discuss the future impacts of anthropogenic CO (sub 2) on CaCO (sub 3) shell-forming species. CaCO (sub 3) dissolution rates, ranging from 0.003 to 1.2 micromoles per kilogram per year, are observed beginning near the aragonite saturation horizon. The total water column CaCO (sub 3) dissolution rate for the global oceans is approximately 0.5+ or -0.2 petagrams of CaCO (sub 3) -C per year, which is approximately 45 to 65% of the export production of CaCO (sub 3) .

The oceanic sink accounts for approximately 48% of the total fossil-fuel and cement-manufacturing emissions, implying that the terrestrial biosphere was a net source of CO (sub 2) to the atmosphere of about 39+ or -28 petagrams of carbon for this period. The current fraction of total anthropogenic CO (sub 2) emissions stored in the ocean appears to be about one-third of the long-term potential.

We use sequential sediment traps in southern Lake Michigan (1997-2000) to capture settling Daphnia ephippia and sediments, characterizing ephippial production and sediment interactions during hazardous conditions. Each year, there was an enormous pulse of D. mendotae ephippia (ca. 7.2X10 (super 13) ephippia, 1.2X10 (super 14) diapausing eggs) that coincided with autumn population decline. Most ephippia settled through the water column, although a few were captured at the water surface and blown shoreward. The duration and amplitude of the autumn ephippial fluxes were similar among years. Ephippial production was positively correlated with water column depth, a consequence of Daphnia spatial abundance. In contrast, resuspension of ephippia was inversely related to water column depth and spatially complex, influenced by waves, coastal currents, and offshore gyre circulation. Large winter storms created nearshore sediment plumes, could resuspend vast numbers of ephippia (e.g., 10 March 1998 storm; 1.9X10 (super 12) ephippia and 3.1X10 (super 12) diapausing eggs), and were important in the formation of "egg banks". Almost all newly produced and resuspended diapausing eggs came from D. mendotae, with very few from two other species (D. retrocurva, D. dentifera) that dominated waters 12 yr ago. These observations suggest a relatively short relaxation time for species cycling out of egg banks in Lake Michigan (<10 yr), due in part to (1) differential resuspension of unconsolidated versus consolidated sediments and (2) the spatially restricted nature of "high-sedimentation" zones. Our study is the first use of sequential sediment traps to document diapause egg production.

This need arises from > 20 years of globally important ODS manufacture in Russia that reportedly ceased in December 2000, for which only aggregated, unaudited production figures are available. The integrity of these production figures is questionable because, for nearly the last decade, the global emissions of several important ODSs estimated from global production figures (production-based estimates) have been insufficient to account for their measured atmospheric burdens. Are these shortfalls in worldwide production-based estimates the result of Russian emissions that are inordinate relative to the reported production figures? We estimate Russian emissions of six ODSs (chlorofluorocarbon-11 (CFC-11, CCl sub(3)F), CFC-12 (CCl sub(2)F sub(2)), CFC-113 (CCl sub(2)FCClF sub(2)), carbon tetrachloride (CCl sub(4)), methyl chloroform (CH sub(3)CCl sub(3)), and halon-1211 (CBrClF sub(2))) from thousands of measurements of their mixing ratios along 8500 km of the Russian trans-Siberian railway in June-July 2001. Our measurement-based estimates indicate that Russian emissions in 2001, even if grossly underestimated because of underreported production, were insufficient in magnitude to play a major role in recent global emission shortfalls. The results also corroborate the reported termination of CFC production in Russia at the end of 2000. The large CFC-12 emissions observed in Russia suggest that a recent estimate of the global CFC-12 reserve is too small. JF - Journal of Geophysical Research. D.

Large enhancements in acetonitrile (CH sub(3)CN), carbon monoxide (CO) and particle number were measured during the fire plume interception. In the 100 s plume crossing, the Particle Analysis by Laser Mass Spectrometry (PALMS) instrument acquired 202 positive mass spectra from ionizing single particles in the 0.2-5 mu m size range. These particles contained carbon, potassium, organics, and ammonium ions. No pure soot particles were sampled directly from the plume. By characterizing these particle mass spectra, a qualitative biomass-burning particle signature was developed that was then used to identify biomass-burning particles throughout ITCT. The analysis was extended to identify biomass-burning particles in four other missions, without the benefit of gas-phase biomass-burning tracers. During ITCT, approximately 33% of the particles sampled in the North American troposphere and 37% of the particles transported from Asia, not influenced by North American sources, were identified as biomass-burning particles. During the WB-57 Aerosol Mission (WAM), Atmospheric Chemistry of Combustion Emissions near the Tropopause (ACCENT) and ACCENT 2000 missions, 7% of stratospheric particles were identified as biomass-burning particles. During the Cirrus Regional Study of Tropical Anvils and Cirrus Layers - Florida Area Cirrus Experiment (CRYSTAL-FACE) this percentage increased to 52% because the regional stratosphere was strongly affected by an active fire season.

Plumes measured in the troposphere from an aircraft were separated from the background air in data analysis using 1-s measurements of carbon monoxide (CO), total reactive nitrogen (NOy), and other gas-phase species along with back trajectory analysis. On the basis of these measurements, Asian transport plumes with CO mixing ratios greater than 150 ppbv were observed on seven flights. Correlations between 1-s observations of CO, ozone (O sub(3)), and NOy are used to characterize the plumes. The NOy/CO ratios were similar in each plume and significantly lower than those derived from estimated Asian emission ratios, indicating substantial removal of soluble NOy species during transport. Observations of nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO sub(2)), nitric acid (HNO sub(3)), peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), peroxypropionyl nitrate (PPN), and alkyl nitrates are used with the NOy measurements to further distinguish the transport plumes by their NOy partitioning. NOy was primarily in the form of PAN in plumes that were transported in cold high-latitude and high-altitude regions, whereas in plumes transported in warmer, lower latitude and altitude regions, NOy was mainly HNO sub(3). Additional gas-phase species enhanced in these plumes include sulfuric acid, methanol, acetone, propane, and ethane. The O sub(3)/CO ratio varied among the plumes and was affected by the mixing of anthropogenic and stratospheric influences. The complexity of this mixing prevents the determination of the relative contribution of anthropogenic and stratospheric influences to the observed O sub(3) levels.

In this study, one such factor, pyocyanin, has been detected in an oil-degrading culture containing P. aeruginosa and is a redox-active compound capable of inhibiting microbial growth. To examine the effects of pyocyanin further, an oil-degrading culture was grown with and without 9.5 mu M pyocyanin and microbial community structure and oil degradation were monitored for 50 days. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis of cultures revealed a decrease in the microbial community diversity in the pyocyanin-amended cultures compared to that of the unamended cultures. Two members of the microbial community in pure culture exhibited intermediate and high sensitivities to pyocyanin corresponding to intermediate and low levels of activity for the antioxidant enzymes catalase and superoxide dismutase, respectively. Another member of the community that remained constant in the DGGE gels over the 50-day culture incubation period exhibited no sensitivity to pyocyanin, corresponding to a high level of catalase and superoxide dismutase when examined in pure culture. Pyocyanin also affected the overall degradation of the crude oil. At 50 days, the culture without pyocyanin had decreased polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons compared to the pyocyanin-amended culture, with a specific reduction in the degradation of dibenzothiophenes, naphthalenes, and C sub(29) and C sub(30) hopanes. This study demonstrated that pyocyanin influenced the diversity of the microbial community and suggests the importance of understanding how interspecies interactions influence the degradation capability of a microbial community.

The transport module of the model takes predetermined current and turbulent diffusivities and uses Lagrangian tracking to predict the motion of individual particles (droplets), the sum of which constitutes hypothetical oil spills. Currents and turbulent diffusivities used in the model have been generated by a numerical ocean circulation model (POM) implemented for the Caspian Sea. The basic processes affecting the fate of the oil spill are taken into account and parameterised in the transport model. The process of evaporation is modelled with a new technique based on the pseudo-component approach. The model is used to simulate a continuous oil release from the Volga river into the coastal waters of the north part of the Caspian Sea. Oil slick movement and risk of contamination of the coastline by beaching oil spills are illustrated for different wind conditions.

Biochemical and egg-dig evidence suggested that oil reduced the survival of pink salmon embryos for several years. Previous research also demonstrated that dissolved oil can be transferred to developing embryos from surrounding oiled sediment via drainage of interstitial water as a result of tidal cycling and hydraulic gradients. In this study, completed a decade after the spill, we sampled stream water for the presence of oil using passive membrane sampling devices, collected sediment and pink salmon eggs for hydrocarbon analysis, and examined alevins for induction of cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A). Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) consistent with Exxon Valdez oil were present in the water of one of six heavily impacted streams; total PAH concentrations in the stream were greatest in the lower intertidal zone. Similarly distributed total PAHs in a second stream suggested possible contamination. Oil was not detected in the remaining four streams. Induction of CYP1A in pink salmon alevins from the two contaminated streams was lowest in water above mean high tide and increased downstream. Because our samples were all selected from heavily oiled streams, we infer that most pink salmon spawning habitat either has recovered or is recovering.

Results showed that ciguatoxins are more concentrated in the egg mass (0.18 ng/g) of a toxic fish than in the muscle (<0.04 ng/g). We used a microinjection technique in a Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) developmental fish model to mimic the maternal route of toxin exposure to finfish embryos. We describe the developmental effects of two preparations isolated from Caribbean great barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda): a highly purified toxin (C-CTX-1), and ciguatoxins extracted from the flesh of a toxic fish. C-CTX-1 induced a significant decrease in heart rate after four days, which did not persist with further development. Crude extracts from ciguatoxic fish flesh induced hyperkinetic twitching and severe spinal deformities. These effects were observed in embryos receiving as little as 5 pg/egg, and were consistently found in embryos receiving doses exceeding 10 pg/egg. The occurrence of twitching and spinal deformities increased in both frequency and severity with dose. Larvae suffering from spinal abnormalities were unable to orient themselves, and could not feed, resulting in mortality. The greater distribution of toxin to eggs as compared to flesh suggests that fish with low to moderate (0.5 ppb) flesh toxin levels would maternally transfer detrimental amounts of ciguatoxins to their offspring.

The model is validated against measurements taken on board the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration WP-3D Orion aircraft during the North Atlantic Regional Experiment study in the spring of 1996. Overall, the model reproduces the measurements well during the early part of the flight where there is indication of a small stratospheric intrusion. However, the very strong signatures of STE and mixing contained in the measurements later in the flight are not captured. Use of a finer horizontal resolution (20 km as opposed to 60 km) brings the model results closer to the aircraft measurements and yields higher values (50% at 7-8 km altitude) of ozone, O sub(3), with a deeper penetration into the troposphere (20% at 80-120 ppbv levels).

For these purposes, the committee has adopted the Webster's Dictionary definition of a dam as "a bank or mound of earth, or a wall or framework, raised to obstruct a current of water." A dam is considered "removed" when stream flow approaches pre-dam conditions and native habitats become re-established. Although the Resource Policy Committee has focused its effort on dam removal, some of the work may also apply to dam breaching, which is a partial removal with a different mix of benefits and costs, or to special solutions to pass fish over or around dams.

A portfolio framework systematically combines fish stocks that are joined by ecology (e.g. predation, competition) and unspecialized fishing technologies (e.g. mixed-species trawls) into a portfolio which balances expected aggregate returns against the risks associated with stock-attribute and other uncertainties. To be productive, however, this framework must be combined with property rights institutions that clearly state management objectives, create long-run time-horizons among harvesters, internalize spillovers caused by ecological and technological jointness, and reduce uncertainty through research and adaptive management. Although the cost of reducing scientific uncertainty about ecological interactions may limit the portfolio approach to intensive management of relatively few species, its scope can be broadened to integrate tradeoffs among more types of marine resources, such as nature preserves and oil and gas deposits.

During 1997-1999, mark- recapture experiments were conducted for six consecutive days at six sites spanning the 250-km tidal portion of the Hudson River estuary, New York. Each experiment comprised 36 baited eel traps arrayed at 200-m intervals over 144- ha sampling sites. Estimates of local density were complicated by eel behavior, including trap-shy responses to marking and immigration into the experimental grid in response to bait attraction. We compared two open-population models, both modified Peterson methods: Jolly-Seber and a model created to account for eel behavior termed the mean recapture model (MRM). The biases in model outputs in response to trap-shy behavior and immigration were analyzed through simulations; the MRM showed less bias (-13%) than the Jolly-Seber model (+36%). Density estimates for the sampled regions ranged from 2 to 18 eels/ha for MRM and from 3 to 24 eels/ha for the Jolly-Seber model. The lowest density (1.6 eels/ha) was estimated for Albany (river km 240), but all other sites were estimated to have similar densities (5-18 eels/ha). The mean local density in the Hudson River estuary, 9.5 eels/ha, was much lower than those estimated for other systems. An overall abundance of 118,000 was calculated for Hudson River estuary eels larger than 30 cm (total length) at depths of 2-10 m.

Here we provide details of the event and speculate that oceanic killer whales may have less specialized diets than nearshore populations. We also suggest that killer whale predation should be considered a factor in the recovery of this critically endangered sea turtle.

Pacific halibut reared at 2, 6 and 10 degree C were fasted for 1 or 7 days to generate variation in energetic state. The 7 day fast resulted in measurable declines in condition indices at 10 and 6 degree C but not at 2 degree C. At 10 degree C, all Pacific halibut consumed the first meal offered, but fish previously fasted for 7 days took significantly longer to locate and consume the meal than fish fasted for only 1 day. At 2 degree C, Pacific halibut fasted for 7 days did not generally consume the first meal offered, but resumed feeding 2 times 1 days sooner, on average, than fish fasted for only 1 day. The gastric evacuation rate of the squid meal was best described by a power model with near-exponential curvature (a = 1 times 011). The evacuation rate was strongly temperature-dependent (Q sub(10) = 3 times 65) but displayed the same degree of variability at each temperature. The evacuation rate in Pacific halibut was not affected by feeding history, body size or energetic state. Furthermore, individual variation in gastric evacuation rate was not correlated with feeding responsiveness at any temperature. These results indicate a general plasticity in the behavioural but not physiological aspects of energy acquisition.

The assay is based on the displacement of a short sacrificial fluorescent-tagged indicator oligomer by a longer untagged target sequence as it is electrophoresed through a DNA-containing hydrogel plug immobilized in a microfluidic channel. The distinct advantages of this assay are the short sensing times, as a result of directed electrophoretic transport of target DNA to the sensing element, combined with the ability to detect nonlabeled target DNA.

Two exceptions are the Florida State University subjective analysis (FSU1) and the NCEP-NCAR reanalysis (NCEP1), which are widely used in climate research. Here, the focus is on the aspects of the stress most relevant to ENSO-namely, the climatological background, anomaly spectrum, response to SST changes, subannual 'noise' forcing, and seasonal phase locking-and how these differ between FSU1 and NCEP1 over the tropical Pacific for 1961-99. The NCEP1 stress climatology is distinguished from FSU1 by weaker equatorial easterlies, stronger off-equatorial cyclonic curl, stronger southerlies along the Peruvian coast, and weaker convergence zones with weaker seasonality. Compared to FSU1, the NCEP1 zonal stress anomalies ( tau 'x ) are weaker, less noisy, and show less persistent westerly peaks during El Nino events. NCEP1 also shows a more stationary spectrum that more closely resembles that of equatorial east Pacific SST anomalies. After the 1970s, the equatorial trade winds and stress variability shift east and strengthen in FSU1, while the opposite occurs in NCEP1. Both products show increased mean convergence in the equatorial far west Pacific in recent decades, with weaker mean easterlies near the date line, an increased stress response to SST anomalies, and stronger interannual and subannual tau 'x in the central equatorial Pacific (Nino-4; 5 degree N-5 degree S, 160 degree E-150 degree W). The variance of Nino-4 tau 'x is highly seasonal in both datasets, with an interannual peak in October-November and a subannual peak in November-February; yet apart from interannual Nino-4 tau 'x after 1980, stress anomalies are not well correlated between the products. Newer and more reliable stress estimates generally fall between NCEP1 and FSU1, with most closer to FSU1.

The research flight on 10-11 May 2002 detected mixing between polluted and stratospheric air at midtropospheric levels above the California coast. This study uses a Lagrangian domain-filling trajectory technique to illustrate that this event was the result of mixing between two warm conveyor belts (WCB) containing Asian pollution and the remnants of a deep tropopause fold from a downstream midlatitude cyclone (referred to as the stratospheric component of a dry airstream or SCDA). Advection of the trajectory particles shows how the SCDA decayed over 7.5 days. One component dispersed into a downstream WCB, while another component descended into the lower troposphere and became entrained by an upwind WCB. After 7.5 days of transport 22% of the SCDA mass was transported into the troposphere. The portions of the SCDA that penetrated to the lowest altitudes had the greatest likelihood of being transported into the troposphere. For example, over 90% of the SCDA at altitudes below the 600 hPa level was transported to the troposphere, but none of the mass at the 200 hPa level was exchanged. More than half of the exchange occurred during the first 48 hours as the deepest portions of the tropopause fold decayed over the Pacific. The rest of the exchange occurred over the following 5.5 days as the remnants of the SCDA sheared apart along the edge of the stratospheric polar vortex and became entrained into subsequent tropopause folds and vortex breakaway features. Stratosphere to troposphere exchange resulted in the transport of 0.5 Tg of stratospheric ozone to the troposphere during the 7.5 day study period. Roughly half of the SCDA particles that entered the troposphere dispersed into the upwind and downwind WCBs. JF - Journal of Geophysical Research. D.

The success of reserves in estuarine areas in protecting exploitable fishery species may depend on whether the reserves would adequately replenish nearby fisheries through spillover and emigration of exploitable-sized adults. An assessment of net exchange between reserves and surrounding fishing areas is needed. Part of the Indian River Lagoon at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge on Florida's east coast was closed in 1962, actually for security purposes, but the action effectively created a reserve where fish movement could be tracked. Movement of seven species of tagged sportfish in and out of the reserve was monitored from 1990-99. Of the 403 recaptured individuals, 65 emigrated from the reserve and 16 immigrated into the reserve from surrounding waters. Migration distances were 0-150 km and were influenced by the proximity of the reserve to spawning areas or other important habitats. Recapture rates indicate that more individuals move into the protected area than move out. This estuarine reserve can protect species from fishing but may also extract individuals from the fishery. Increased egg production and larval export may be more important replenishment mechanisms than spillover of excess adults from the reserve to fished areas.

A method of estimating the yearly emigration rate from a protected zone is presented, based on tag release data both into the sanctuary and into the fished zone. Recoveries from non-moving tagged animals are only possible from the fished zone. An estimate for the recovery rate (proportion of fish recaptured and their tags reported) in the fished zone also is provided. The estimation method addresses some of the main drawbacks to using tag-recovery data. An analytic formula and an associated double-hypergeometric likelihood method both were derived and applied to tag recoveries from southern rock lobsters released into a sanctuary and the surrounding fished area off the coast of South Australia. At this location this method estimated that 62% of the rock lobsters tagged in the sanctuary moved out in one year. Some limitations and assumptions involved in this method are discussed.

AN - 36434042; 10847 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption of a rule to reduce sea turtle bycatch and bycatch mortality in the Atlantic pelagic longline fishery is proposed. The target species are highly migratory species (HMS) inhabiting the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea; these include swordfish, Atlantic billfish, Atlantic tunas, Atlantic sharks, and other finfish. In June 2001, the National Marine Fisheries Service published a biological opinion regarding Atlantic sea turtles, concluding that the continued operation of the fishery is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the Atlantic leatherback and loggerhead sea turtles. To avoid jeopardy, the reasonable and prudent alternative outlined in the biological opinion included a closure of the Northeast Distant (NED) Statistical Reporting Area, implementation of a research program to develop or modify fishing gear, and implementation of techniques to reduce sea turtle interactions with fishing operations and mortality associated with such interactions. The opinion also included an incidental take statement (ITS) for the fishery that established incidental take levels of 438 leatherback and 402 loggerhead turtles on an annual basis. The opinion further considered modification or reopening of the NED on the condition that takes attributable to fishing effort in that area could be reduced sufficiently through gear and technique modifications. The NED research experiment, permitted under Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act, demonstrated that significant reductions in sea turtle interactions could be achieved through the application of large circle style hooks and certain bait combinations. In December 2002, fisheries data indicated that the ITS had been exceeded for Atlantic leatherback sea turtles in 2001/2002 and for Atlantic loggerhead sea turtles in 2002. The 2001 and 2002 turtle interaction levels for the Atlantic fishery was estimated at 1,208 leatherbacks and 312 loggerheads for 2001 and 962 leatherbacks and 575 loggerheads for 2002. The rule, proposed in this final supplemental EIS, would limit vessels in the Atlantic longline inasmuch as their operation affects HMS. The limitations would allow only the possession and/or use of certain hook and bait combinations, re-open the NED Statistical Reporting Area to pelagic longline fishing under specific hook and bait limitations, and require the possession and use of specific sea turtle handling and release equipment and sea turtle handing and release protocols to reduce bycatch and bycatch mortality of incidentally caught Atlantic sea turtles in the pelagic longline fishery. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By reducing bycatch and incidental catch, the regulatory amendments would improve the sustainability of the HMS species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Certain fishery management provisions, particularly gear restrictions, could result in economic losses to fishing interests.

The 2001 and 2002 turtle interaction levels for the Atlantic fishery was estimated at 1,208 leatherbacks and 312 loggerheads for 2001 and 962 leatherbacks and 575 loggerheads for 2002. The rule, proposed in this final supplemental EIS, would limit vessels in the Atlantic longline inasmuch as their operation affects HMS. The limitations would allow only the possession and/or use of certain hook and bait combinations, re-open the NED Statistical Reporting Area to pelagic longline fishing under specific hook and bait limitations, and require the possession and use of specific sea turtle handling and release equipment and sea turtle handing and release protocols to reduce bycatch and bycatch mortality of incidentally caught Atlantic sea turtles in the pelagic longline fishery. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By reducing bycatch and incidental catch, the regulatory amendments would improve the sustainability of the HMS species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Certain fishery management provisions, particularly gear restrictions, could result in economic losses to fishing interests.

AN - 36372987; 10847-040296_0004 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption of a rule to reduce sea turtle bycatch and bycatch mortality in the Atlantic pelagic longline fishery is proposed. The target species are highly migratory species (HMS) inhabiting the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea; these include swordfish, Atlantic billfish, Atlantic tunas, Atlantic sharks, and other finfish. In June 2001, the National Marine Fisheries Service published a biological opinion regarding Atlantic sea turtles, concluding that the continued operation of the fishery is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the Atlantic leatherback and loggerhead sea turtles. To avoid jeopardy, the reasonable and prudent alternative outlined in the biological opinion included a closure of the Northeast Distant (NED) Statistical Reporting Area, implementation of a research program to develop or modify fishing gear, and implementation of techniques to reduce sea turtle interactions with fishing operations and mortality associated with such interactions. The opinion also included an incidental take statement (ITS) for the fishery that established incidental take levels of 438 leatherback and 402 loggerhead turtles on an annual basis. The opinion further considered modification or reopening of the NED on the condition that takes attributable to fishing effort in that area could be reduced sufficiently through gear and technique modifications. The NED research experiment, permitted under Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act, demonstrated that significant reductions in sea turtle interactions could be achieved through the application of large circle style hooks and certain bait combinations.

AN - 36370118; 10847-040296_0018 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption of a rule to reduce sea turtle bycatch and bycatch mortality in the Atlantic pelagic longline fishery is proposed. The target species are highly migratory species (HMS) inhabiting the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea; these include swordfish, Atlantic billfish, Atlantic tunas, Atlantic sharks, and other finfish. In June 2001, the National Marine Fisheries Service published a biological opinion regarding Atlantic sea turtles, concluding that the continued operation of the fishery is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the Atlantic leatherback and loggerhead sea turtles. To avoid jeopardy, the reasonable and prudent alternative outlined in the biological opinion included a closure of the Northeast Distant (NED) Statistical Reporting Area, implementation of a research program to develop or modify fishing gear, and implementation of techniques to reduce sea turtle interactions with fishing operations and mortality associated with such interactions. The opinion also included an incidental take statement (ITS) for the fishery that established incidental take levels of 438 leatherback and 402 loggerhead turtles on an annual basis. The opinion further considered modification or reopening of the NED on the condition that takes attributable to fishing effort in that area could be reduced sufficiently through gear and technique modifications. The NED research experiment, permitted under Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act, demonstrated that significant reductions in sea turtle interactions could be achieved through the application of large circle style hooks and certain bait combinations. In December 2002, fisheries data indicated that the ITS had been exceeded for Atlantic leatherback sea turtles in 2001/2002 and for Atlantic loggerhead sea turtles in 2002. The 2001 and 2002 turtle interaction levels for the Atlantic fishery was estimated at 1,208 leatherbacks and 312 loggerheads for 2001 and 962 leatherbacks and 575 loggerheads for 2002. The rule, proposed in this final supplemental EIS, would limit vessels in the Atlantic longline inasmuch as their operation affects HMS. The limitations would allow only the possession and/or use of certain hook and bait combinations, re-open the NED Statistical Reporting Area to pelagic longline fishing under specific hook and bait limitations, and require the possession and use of specific sea turtle handling and release equipment and sea turtle handing and release protocols to reduce bycatch and bycatch mortality of incidentally caught Atlantic sea turtles in the pelagic longline fishery. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By reducing bycatch and incidental catch, the regulatory amendments would improve the sustainability of the HMS species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Certain fishery management provisions, particularly gear restrictions, could result in economic losses to fishing interests.

The opinion also included an incidental take statement (ITS) for the fishery that established incidental take levels of 438 leatherback and 402 loggerhead turtles on an annual basis. The opinion further considered modification or reopening of the NED on the condition that takes attributable to fishing effort in that area could be reduced sufficiently through gear and technique modifications. The NED research experiment, permitted under Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act, demonstrated that significant reductions in sea turtle interactions could be achieved through the application of large circle style hooks and certain bait combinations. In December 2002, fisheries data indicated that the ITS had been exceeded for Atlantic leatherback sea turtles in 2001/2002 and for Atlantic loggerhead sea turtles in 2002. The 2001 and 2002 turtle interaction levels for the Atlantic fishery was estimated at 1,208 leatherbacks and 312 loggerheads for 2001 and 962 leatherbacks and 575 loggerheads for 2002. The rule, proposed in this final supplemental EIS, would limit vessels in the Atlantic longline inasmuch as their operation affects HMS. The limitations would allow only the possession and/or use of certain hook and bait combinations, re-open the NED Statistical Reporting Area to pelagic longline fishing under specific hook and bait limitations, and require the possession and use of specific sea turtle handling and release equipment and sea turtle handing and release protocols to reduce bycatch and bycatch mortality of incidentally caught Atlantic sea turtles in the pelagic longline fishery. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By reducing bycatch and incidental catch, the regulatory amendments would improve the sustainability of the HMS species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Certain fishery management provisions, particularly gear restrictions, could result in economic losses to fishing interests.

[Part 9 of 22] T2 - REDUCTION OF SEA TURTLE BYCATCH AND BYCATCH MORTALITY IN THE ATLANTIC PELAGIC LONGLINE FISHERY (FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT). AN - 36354480; 10847-040296_0009 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption of a rule to reduce sea turtle bycatch and bycatch mortality in the Atlantic pelagic longline fishery is proposed. The target species are highly migratory species (HMS) inhabiting the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea; these include swordfish, Atlantic billfish, Atlantic tunas, Atlantic sharks, and other finfish. In June 2001, the National Marine Fisheries Service published a biological opinion regarding Atlantic sea turtles, concluding that the continued operation of the fishery is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the Atlantic leatherback and loggerhead sea turtles. To avoid jeopardy, the reasonable and prudent alternative outlined in the biological opinion included a closure of the Northeast Distant (NED) Statistical Reporting Area, implementation of a research program to develop or modify fishing gear, and implementation of techniques to reduce sea turtle interactions with fishing operations and mortality associated with such interactions. The opinion also included an incidental take statement (ITS) for the fishery that established incidental take levels of 438 leatherback and 402 loggerhead turtles on an annual basis. The opinion further considered modification or reopening of the NED on the condition that takes attributable to fishing effort in that area could be reduced sufficiently through gear and technique modifications. The NED research experiment, permitted under Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act, demonstrated that significant reductions in sea turtle interactions could be achieved through the application of large circle style hooks and certain bait combinations. In December 2002, fisheries data indicated that the ITS had been exceeded for Atlantic leatherback sea turtles in 2001/2002 and for Atlantic loggerhead sea turtles in 2002. The 2001 and 2002 turtle interaction levels for the Atlantic fishery was estimated at 1,208 leatherbacks and 312 loggerheads for 2001 and 962 leatherbacks and 575 loggerheads for 2002. The rule, proposed in this final supplemental EIS, would limit vessels in the Atlantic longline inasmuch as their operation affects HMS. The limitations would allow only the possession and/or use of certain hook and bait combinations, re-open the NED Statistical Reporting Area to pelagic longline fishing under specific hook and bait limitations, and require the possession and use of specific sea turtle handling and release equipment and sea turtle handing and release protocols to reduce bycatch and bycatch mortality of incidentally caught Atlantic sea turtles in the pelagic longline fishery. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By reducing bycatch and incidental catch, the regulatory amendments would improve the sustainability of the HMS species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Certain fishery management provisions, particularly gear restrictions, could result in economic losses to fishing interests.

AN - 905874316; 10845-4_0014 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of seven fishery management plans (FMPs) covering various species taken from the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic Ocean is proposed to protect essential fish habitat (EFH) within the affected areas. Fisheries addressed for the include those for shrimp, red drum, reef fish, stone crab, and coral and coral reefs, of the Gulf of Mexico as well as those for spiny lobster and South Atlantic migratory pelagic species of the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic. In 1999, a coalition of environmental groups initiated a legal action challenging the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's approval of the EFH FMP amendments prepared by the Gulf of Mexico and other fishery management councils. The court found that the EFH amendments were in accordance with the appropriate legislation, but held that the environmental assessments on the amendments were in violation of the National Environmental Policy Act. NOAA entered into a joint stipulation with the plaintiff that called for each affected Council to complete an EIS. This final supplemental EIS identifies and describes EFH resources, identifies habitat areas of particular concern (HAPCs), addresses adverse impacts of fishing on EFH, and evaluates the consequences of five HAPC alternatives and five EFH alternatives. A No Action Alternative is evaluated for EFH and HAPCs (Alternative 1 in each case). With respect to EFH for red drum, reef fish, coastal migratory pelagics, shrimp, stone crab, and spiny lobster, the preferred alternative (Alternative 6) would regulate fishing weights on vertical line fishing gear used over coral reefs in HAPCs, prohibit bottom anchoring over coral reefs in HAPCs, prohibit the use of bottom longlines, buoy gear, and all traps/pots on coral reefs, prohibit the use of trawling gear on coral reefs, and require a week link in the tickler chain of bottom trawls within all habitats. With respect to EFH for coral, the preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would include restrictions on the lengths of trawl headrope and of trawl vessels and the use of tickler chains to one chain with a maximum link diameter of 0.25 inch. The coral EPA alternative would also include prohibitions on the use of: trotlines when using traps/pots; tickler chains on hard bottom, submerged aquatic vegetation and sand/shell, and soft sediments; traps/potsand bottom longlines and buoy gear on coral reefs; and anchors on coral. With respect to the identification of HAPCs, the preferred alternative (Alternative 9) would designate the following areas as HAPCs (Alternative 9): the Flower Garden Banks, the Florida Middle Grounds, the Tortugas North and South Ecological Reserves, and the Madison-Swanson Marine Reserve. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The FMP amendments would ensure the continued protection of EFH within HAPCs in the affected fisheries, while allowing viable commercial exploitation of fishery resources. With respect to corals, the preferred alternative would establish major modifications to fishing gear and gear closures on sensitive habitats to prevent, mitigate, or minimize adverse fishing impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Gear and other restriction would limit access to the fisheries for some local and regional fishing interests, a situation which could result in economic hardships for certain fishery operators.

AN - 905874304; 10845-4_0010 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of seven fishery management plans (FMPs) covering various species taken from the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic Ocean is proposed to protect essential fish habitat (EFH) within the affected areas. Fisheries addressed for the include those for shrimp, red drum, reef fish, stone crab, and coral and coral reefs, of the Gulf of Mexico as well as those for spiny lobster and South Atlantic migratory pelagic species of the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic. In 1999, a coalition of environmental groups initiated a legal action challenging the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's approval of the EFH FMP amendments prepared by the Gulf of Mexico and other fishery management councils. The court found that the EFH amendments were in accordance with the appropriate legislation, but held that the environmental assessments on the amendments were in violation of the National Environmental Policy Act. NOAA entered into a joint stipulation with the plaintiff that called for each affected Council to complete an EIS. This final supplemental EIS identifies and describes EFH resources, identifies habitat areas of particular concern (HAPCs), addresses adverse impacts of fishing on EFH, and evaluates the consequences of five HAPC alternatives and five EFH alternatives. A No Action Alternative is evaluated for EFH and HAPCs (Alternative 1 in each case). With respect to EFH for red drum, reef fish, coastal migratory pelagics, shrimp, stone crab, and spiny lobster, the preferred alternative (Alternative 6) would regulate fishing weights on vertical line fishing gear used over coral reefs in HAPCs, prohibit bottom anchoring over coral reefs in HAPCs, prohibit the use of bottom longlines, buoy gear, and all traps/pots on coral reefs, prohibit the use of trawling gear on coral reefs, and require a week link in the tickler chain of bottom trawls within all habitats. With respect to EFH for coral, the preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would include restrictions on the lengths of trawl headrope and of trawl vessels and the use of tickler chains to one chain with a maximum link diameter of 0.25 inch. The coral EPA alternative would also include prohibitions on the use of: trotlines when using traps/pots; tickler chains on hard bottom, submerged aquatic vegetation and sand/shell, and soft sediments; traps/potsand bottom longlines and buoy gear on coral reefs; and anchors on coral. With respect to the identification of HAPCs, the preferred alternative (Alternative 9) would designate the following areas as HAPCs (Alternative 9): the Flower Garden Banks, the Florida Middle Grounds, the Tortugas North and South Ecological Reserves, and the Madison-Swanson Marine Reserve. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The FMP amendments would ensure the continued protection of EFH within HAPCs in the affected fisheries, while allowing viable commercial exploitation of fishery resources. With respect to corals, the preferred alternative would establish major modifications to fishing gear and gear closures on sensitive habitats to prevent, mitigate, or minimize adverse fishing impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Gear and other restriction would limit access to the fisheries for some local and regional fishing interests, a situation which could result in economic hardships for certain fishery operators.

The coral EPA alternative would also include prohibitions on the use of: trotlines when using traps/pots; tickler chains on hard bottom, submerged aquatic vegetation and sand/shell, and soft sediments; traps/potsand bottom longlines and buoy gear on coral reefs; and anchors on coral. With respect to the identification of HAPCs, the preferred alternative (Alternative 9) would designate the following areas as HAPCs (Alternative 9): the Flower Garden Banks, the Florida Middle Grounds, the Tortugas North and South Ecological Reserves, and the Madison-Swanson Marine Reserve. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The FMP amendments would ensure the continued protection of EFH within HAPCs in the affected fisheries, while allowing viable commercial exploitation of fishery resources. With respect to corals, the preferred alternative would establish major modifications to fishing gear and gear closures on sensitive habitats to prevent, mitigate, or minimize adverse fishing impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Gear and other restriction would limit access to the fisheries for some local and regional fishing interests, a situation which could result in economic hardships for certain fishery operators.

In 1999, a coalition of environmental groups initiated a legal action challenging the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's approval of the EFH FMP amendments prepared by the Gulf of Mexico and other fishery management councils. The court found that the EFH amendments were in accordance with the appropriate legislation, but held that the environmental assessments on the amendments were in violation of the National Environmental Policy Act. NOAA entered into a joint stipulation with the plaintiff that called for each affected Council to complete an EIS. This final supplemental EIS identifies and describes EFH resources, identifies habitat areas of particular concern (HAPCs), addresses adverse impacts of fishing on EFH, and evaluates the consequences of five HAPC alternatives and five EFH alternatives. A No Action Alternative is evaluated for EFH and HAPCs (Alternative 1 in each case). With respect to EFH for red drum, reef fish, coastal migratory pelagics, shrimp, stone crab, and spiny lobster, the preferred alternative (Alternative 6) would regulate fishing weights on vertical line fishing gear used over coral reefs in HAPCs, prohibit bottom anchoring over coral reefs in HAPCs, prohibit the use of bottom longlines, buoy gear, and all traps/pots on coral reefs, prohibit the use of trawling gear on coral reefs, and require a week link in the tickler chain of bottom trawls within all habitats. With respect to EFH for coral, the preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would include restrictions on the lengths of trawl headrope and of trawl vessels and the use of tickler chains to one chain with a maximum link diameter of 0.25 inch. The coral EPA alternative would also include prohibitions on the use of: trotlines when using traps/pots; tickler chains on hard bottom, submerged aquatic vegetation and sand/shell, and soft sediments; traps/potsand bottom longlines and buoy gear on coral reefs; and anchors on coral. With respect to the identification of HAPCs, the preferred alternative (Alternative 9) would designate the following areas as HAPCs (Alternative 9): the Flower Garden Banks, the Florida Middle Grounds, the Tortugas North and South Ecological Reserves, and the Madison-Swanson Marine Reserve. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The FMP amendments would ensure the continued protection of EFH within HAPCs in the affected fisheries, while allowing viable commercial exploitation of fishery resources. With respect to corals, the preferred alternative would establish major modifications to fishing gear and gear closures on sensitive habitats to prevent, mitigate, or minimize adverse fishing impacts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Gear and other restriction would limit access to the fisheries for some local and regional fishing interests, a situation which could result in economic hardships for certain fishery operators.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - SEAGRASS RESTORATION IN THE FLORIDA KEYS NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY. AN - 36372038; 10839-040287_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an ecosystem restoration plan to preserve and restore seagrass communities in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary is proposed. Healthy seagrass communities serve an important ecological and socioeconomic function in the Florida Keys. Seagrass beds the nurseries for numerous species of fish and invertebrates. In turn, the viability of the recreational and commercial fishing sectors and the associated service industries are to some degree directly or indirectly dependent on healthy seagrass communities. Seeagrass communities are also effective storm surve buffers, natural filters of sediment, and biological filters of impurities in seawater. The cumulative impact of vessel groundings, propeller damage, and berm formation has led to a pervasive scarring of seagrass beds. Common alternatives for seagrass restoration considered in this draft EIS include seagrass transplants fertilizer spikes, sediment fill, sediment tubes, berm redistribution, sod replacement, water markers and other aids to navigation to prevent scarring by boats, exclusion cages to prevent herbivore depredation of seagrasses, and bird stakes; the latter attract seabirds, which deposit their fecal fertilizer and, thereby, nurture the growth of seagrasses. A No Action Alternative is also considered. Under the proposed action, a combination of one or more of these options would be implemented according to the situation in the area undergoing restoration treatments. Berm redistribution and sod replacement would occur at the time of injury assessment. Typically, seagrass transplants would be accompanied with bird sstakes if water depth is less than 1.5 meters or fertilizer spikes if water depth is greater than 1.5 meters. Exclusion cages would be placed over seagrass transplants in areas close to coral reefs. If thesite-specific conditions warrant sediment fill for flowholes or sediment tubes for whide propeller scars or blowholes, seagrass transplants and bird stakes would be inserted after sediment placement activities. Finally, if it is determined that the grounding site was likely to recover rapidly or primary restoration was not appropriate for other reasons, the decision to take no action may be taken for part or all of the injury site. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Restoration and protection of the seagrass beds would provide for benefits to the recreational and commercial fishing sectors, water quality along the Florida Keys, and marine mammals, including endangered species, dependent on seagrasses for ecosystem preservation and enhancement. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The pertinent analysis indicates that the environmental and socioeconomic conditions at the restoration sites would not be significantly affected in a negative way by proceeding with any of the restoration options.

AN - 66888255; 15376527 AB - Low-density polyethylene membranes, typically filled with triolein, have been previously deployed as passive environmental samplers designed to accumulate nonpolar hydrophobic chemicals from water, sediments, and air. Hydrocarbons in such samplers, known as semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs), diffuse through pores in the membranes and are trapped in the central hydrocarbon matrix, mimicking uptake by living organisms. Here, we describe laboratory and field verification that low-density polyethylene membrane devices (PEMDs) without triolein provide reliable, relatively inexpensive, time-integrated hydrocarbon sampling from water. For comparison, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) uptake in SPMDs and pink salmon eggs also was studied. Total concentrations of PAH accumulated by PEMDs were highly correlated with concentrations in water (r2 > or = 0.99) and linear over the range tested (0-17 microg/L). Higher-molecular-mass PAH preferentially accumulated in PEMDs and in pink salmon eggs, but the source of oil in PEMDs remained identifiable. Accumulations of PAH were highly similar to those in SPMDs. The PEMDs retained approximately 78% of accumulated total PAH for 40 d in clean water. Thus, a simple plastic membrane can be conveniently used for environmental monitoring, particularly during situations in which contaminant concentrations are low (in the parts-per-billion range), variable, and intermittent.

This analysis examines segregation in the multi-ethnic context over the 1980-2000 period by using the multi-race information theory index (H), which simultaneously takes the presence of many groups into account, & by also looking at the segregation of each group separately. Results indicate that segregation has been decreasing, mainly due to declines in African American segregation & White segregation with little change or slight increases in Asian & Hispanic segregation. Growing diversity was associated with increases in overall segregation, White segregation, Hispanic segregation, & Asian segregation, though strongly associated with declines in Black segregation. For Hispanics & Asians, it was the growth in Hispanic & Asian & Pacific Islander populations, respectively, that were associated with increases in segregation, suggesting that this population growth likely buttressed ethnic enclaves. 8 Tables, 37 References.

Most of the observations were made during the unstratified period (November-May) in water depths between 10 and 55 m. The observations (as well as those obtained from the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) buoy 45007, which is located in the middle of the southern basin of the lake) were compared to the results obtained from the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL)-Donelan wave model implemented on a 2-km grid. The results show that the wave model does a good job of calculating the wave heights, but consistently underestimates the wave periods. In over 80% of the cases the bottom stresses calculated from both the observations and the wave model results agree as to whether or not resuspension occurs, but over 70% of this agreement is for cases when resuspension does not occur; both stresses predict resuspension about 6% of the time. Since the bottom stresses calculated from the model results are usually lower than those calculated from the observations, resuspension estimates based on the wave model parameters are also lower than those calculated from the observed waves.

This report evaluates the synthetic ratio method used to produce postcensal school district estimates of the total population and the school-age population (5 to 17 years). The synthetic ratio method assumes that the ratio of the school district population to the county population, as measured in the most recent decennial census, rernains constant throughout the estimate period. To evaluate the method, school district population estimates for April 1,2000 are produced from the 1990 census population of school districts and counties and the April 1, 2000 county population estimates. The accuracy of the April 1, 2000 estimates is measured by comparison with Census 2000 enumeration data. The Mean Algebraic Percent Error (MALPE), the Mean Absolute Percent Error (MAPE), and the Weighted Mean Absolute Percent Error are calculated for the school district population estimates. The average errors are calculated for regions, states, school district types, school district population size in 1990 and 2000, and the percent population change from 1990 to 2000. The results identify the characteristics of school districts for which the synthetic ratio method performs relatively well and for which the method appears to generate biased estimates.

With the availability of remotely sensed ocean color imagery from SeaWiFS, a regional algorithm that compensates for the scattering of sediments in coastal waters can be applied to accurately estimate chlorophyll concentrations in coastal areas of Florida. Chlorophyll anomalies of 1 mu g l super(-1) based on a 60-day running mean are currently used along the Panhandle and west Florida coast, to detect K. brevis blooms exceeding 100, 000 cells l super(-1). This is the first step in an early warning system to forecast K. brevis blooms in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. A retrospective analysis was performed on imagery acquired from 1999, 2000 and 2001 to determine the accuracy of this technique in detecting K. brevis blooms in this region. During the K. brevis bloom season from August through April, chlorophyll anomalies accurately identified K. brevis blooms along the Florida Panhandle, from Tampa Bay to Cape Romano and Key West >83% of the time. Frequent chlorophyll anomalies were falsely observed in the spring and early summer, prior to the beginning of the K. brevis bloom season. Areas rich in colored dissolved and particulate matter were prone to anomalies that falsely identify K. brevis blooms; however, blooms rarely originate in these areas.

This ranged from research studies and model applications to the provision of advice and guidance in developing programs for improving the Nation's air quality. Research efforts emphasized the development, evaluation, and application of meteorological and air quality models. Among the research studies and results were the release in September 2003 of the latest version of the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system; continued development and improvement of CMAQ and its modules; completion of the wind tunnel modeling study for the estimation and characterization of the dispersion of particulate matter from the World Trade Center recovery site after September 11, 2001; development and evaluation of fine or neighborhood-scale air quality models; development of techniques for model evaluation; development of an updated version of the Biogenic Emissions Inventory System; initiation of a study to model the smoke emissions from prescribed and wildfires; and development of the Eta-CMAQ modeling system for use in air quality forecasting.

In the ETP and CNP models, individual fisheries use slightly different food webs that are defined by the assemblage of targeted tuna species. Distinct energy pathways are required to support different tuna species and, consequently, the specific fisheries that target different tuna assemblages. These simulations suggest that catches of tunas, sharks, and billfishes have lowered the biomass of the upper trophic levels in both systems, whereas increases in intermediate and lower trophic level animals have accompanied the decline of top predators. Trade-offs between fishing and predation mortality rates that occur when multiple fisheries interact with their respective food webs may lead to smaller changes in biomass than if only the effect of a single fishery is considered. Historical simulations and hypothetical management scenarios further demonstrate that the effects of longline and purse seine fisheries have been strongest in upper trophic levels, but that lower trophic levels may respond more strongly to purse-seine fisheries. The apex predator guild has responded most strongly to longlining. Simulations of alternative management strategies that attempt to rebuild shark and billfish populations in each ecosystem reveal that (1) changes in longlining more effectively recover top predator populations than do changes in purse seining and (2) restrictions on both shallow-set longline gear and shark finning may do more to recover top predators than do simple reductions in fishing effort.

The approach adds more practicality to the process of model parameterization, and facilitates an easier transition from current lumped model-based operational systems to more powerful distributed systems. This combination of physically-based and conceptual model features is implemented within the Hydrology Laboratory Research Modeling System (HL-RMS). HL-RMS consists of a well-tested conceptual water balance model applied on a regular spatial grid linked to physically-based kinematic hillslope and channel routing models. Parameter estimation procedures that combine spatially distributed and 'integrated' basin-outlet properties have been developed for the water balance and routing components. High-resolution radar-based precipitation data over a large region are used in testing HL-RMS. Initial tests show that HL-RMS yields results comparable to well-calibrated lumped model simulations in several headwater basins, and it outperforms a lumped model in basins where spatial rainfall variability effects are significant. It is important to note that simulations for two nested basins (not calibrated directly, but parameters from the calibration of the parent basin were applied instead) outperformed lumped simulations even more consistently, which means that HL-RMS has the potential to improve the accuracy and resolution of river runoff forecasts.

From this view, it can be seen that there have been distinct periods of change in performance, most likely associated with deployment of radars, and changes in scientific understanding and training. The model also makes it clear that improvements in the false alarm ratio can only occur at the cost of large decreases in the probability of detection, or with large improvements in the overall quality of the warning system.

The Climate Prediction Center morphing method (CMORPH) uses motion vectors derived from half-hourly interval geostationary satellite IR imagery to propagate the relatively high quality precipitation estimates derived from passive microwave data. In addition, the shape and intensity of the precipitation features are modified (morphed) during the time between microwave sensor scans by performing a time-weighted linear interpolation. This process yields spatially and temporally complete microwave-derived precipitation analyses, independent of the infrared temperature field. CMORPH showed substantial improvements over both simple averaging of the microwave estimates and over techniques that blend microwave and infrared information but that derive estimates of precipitation from infrared data when passive microwave information is unavailable. In particular, CMORPH outperforms these blended techniques in terms of daily spatial correlation with a validating rain gauge analysis over Australia by an average of 0.14, 0.27, 0.26, 0.22, and 0.20 for April, May, June-August, September, and October 2003, respectively. CMORPH also yields higher equitable threat scores over Australia for the same periods by an average of 0.11, 0.14, 0.13, 0.14, and 0.13. Over the United States for June-August, September, and October 2003, spatial correlation was higher for CMORPH relative to the average of the same techniques by an average of 0.10, 0.13, and 0.13, respectively, and equitable threat scores were higher by an average of 0.06, 0.09, and 0.10, respectively.

This is due partly to difficulties in finding SNPs in species where little DNA sequence data exist, as well as to a lack of robust and inexpensive genotyping methods. We have explored one SNP discovery method for molecular ecology, evolution, and conservation studies to evaluate the method and its limitations for population genetics in mammals. We made use of 'CATS' (or 'EPIC') primers to screen for novel SNPs in mammals. Most of these primer sets were designed from primates and/or rodents, for amplifying intron regions from conserved genes. We have screened 202 loci in 16 representatives of the major mammalian clades. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) success correlated with phylogenetic distance from the human and mouse sequences used to design most primers; for example, specific PCR products from primates and the mouse amplified the most consistently and the marsupial and armadillo amplifications were least successful. Approximately 24% (opossum) to 65% (chimpanzee) of primers produced usable PCR product(s) in the mammals tested. Products produced generally high but variable levels of readable sequence and similarity to the expected genes. In a preliminary screen of chimpanzee DNA, 12 SNPs were identified from six (of 11) sequenced regions, yielding a SNP on average every 400 base pairs (bp). Given the progress in genome sequencing, and the large numbers of CATS-like primers published to date, this approach may yield sufficient SNPs per species for population and conservation genetic studies in nonmodel mammals and other organisms.

The green turtle has a long history of human exploitation with some stocks extinct. Here we report on a 30-year study of the nesting abundance of the green turtle stock endemic to the Hawaiian Archipelago. We show that there has been a substantial long-term increase in abundance of this once seriously depleted stock following cessation of harvesting since the 1970s. This population increase has occurred in a far shorter period of time than previously thought possible. There was also a distinct 3-4 year periodicity in annual nesting abundance that might be a function of regional environmental stochasticity that synchronises breeding behaviour throughout the Archipelago. This is one of the few reliable long-term population abundance time series for a large long-lived marine species, which are needed for gaining insights into the recovery process of long-lived marine species and long-term ecological processes.

Tests are made on model flat-layer specimens fabricated from various dental ceramic combinations bonded to dentin-like polymer substrates, in bilayer (ceramic/polymer) and trilayer (ceramic/ceramic/polymer) configurations. The specimens are loaded at their top surfaces with spherical indenters, in simulation of occlusal function. The onset of fracture is observed in situ using a video camera system mounted beneath the transparent polymer substrate. Critical loads to induce fracture and deformation at the ceramic top and bottom surfaces are measured as functions of layer thickness and contact duration. Radial cracking at the ceramic undersurface occurs at relatively low loads, especially in thinner layers. Fracture mechanics relations are used to confirm the experimental data trends, and to provide explicit dependencies of critical loads in terms of key variables: material--elastic modulus, hardness, strength and toughness; geometric--layer thicknesses and contact radius. Tougher, harder and (especially) stronger materials show superior damage resistance. Critical loads depend strongly (quadratically) on crown net thickness. The analytic relations provide a sound basis for the materials design of next-generation dental crowns.

However, the system exhibits low to moderate (2-20 mu g l super(-1)) microalgal biomass with sporadic phytoplankton blooms. Both nitrogen (N) and phosphate (P) limitation of phytoplankton growth have been proposed for the estuary. However, shifts between N and P limitation of algae growth may occur due to annual fluctuations in nutrient concentrations. The primary goal of this work was to determine the primary limiting nutrient for phytoplankton in Galveston Bay. Nutrient addition bioassays were used to assess short-term (1-2 days) phytoplankton responses (both biomass and community composition) to potentially limiting nutrients. The experimental bioassays were conducted over an annual cycle using natural water collected from the center to lower part of the estuary. Total phytoplankton biomass increased in the nitrate (10 mu M) additions in 11 of the 13 bioassays, but no significant increases were detected in the phosphate (3 mu M)-only additions. Bioassay results suggest that the phytoplankton community was usually not phosphate limited. All major groups increased in biomass following nitrate additions but diatoms increased in biomass at a faster rate than other groups, shifting the community composition toward higher relative abundance of diatoms. The results of this study suggest that pulsed N input events preferentially favor increases in diatom biomass in this estuary. The broader implications of this study are that N pulsing events, primarily due to river discharge, play an important role in structuring the phytoplankton community in the Galveston Bay estuary.

These tracts of bottom at 30-40 m comprise more than 4,500 km super(2)of the region's reef area. The habitat was found to be dominated by algal meadows (65% cover of exposed bottom), with infrequent relief features. Annual monitoring of select stations for 4 years at Necker Bank indicated that the relative difference in algal abundance between stations persisted from year to year (at least in summer). Temperature records from year-long deployments of archival thermistors in high-cover (>70%) and low-cover (<30%) algal biotopes were indistinguishable, providing no explanation of the algal differences between stations. At all banks, Microdictyon was the primary alga, averaging 1.22 kg/m super(2). In spite of the extensive standing primary production, and a historical lack of fishing, bank reef-fish populations were impoverished. Mean densities, sizes, and biomass of trophic groups were considerably less than values reported for NWHI reef shallows. An overall mean biomass was estimated at 22.5 g/m super(2), which is a fifth of that reported for shallow reefs of the region. Fish biomass of all trophic groups was associated with the few sources of relief available on the banks. Apex predators (sharks, jacks, and snappers), common on all surveys (with a mean of five per station), were proposed to constrain fish populations to sparse sources of relief resulting in a skewed size structure of the two primary fish trophic components. Sizes of lower-level carnivores were tightly correlated with sources of relief whereas the size of herbivores were not, indicating that herbivores more often venture out and risk the exposed algal meadows. These bank summits are a rare example of a near pristine reef system with high benthic primary productivity and low fish biomass, and are a stark contrast to shallower coral-reef ecosystems of the NWHI.

Current 30-day forecasts, issued on the first of the month for the first of the following month, mainly use forecasts of air temperature. They enable calculation of accumulated freezing degree-days (AFDDs), which are used to identify similar historical events and associated ice cover as a forecast. More information is now available to ice forecasters, and we investigate its use in simple statistical models. The information considered here is limited to observations available at the time of a forecast, but include AFDDs, various telecommunication indices, and current ice cover. Additionally, the potential of AFDD forecasts is assessed in a statistical regression between ice cover and AFDDs during the month between the time of making the forecast and the start date of the forecast. (Actual AFDDs represent the best we could hope to forecast and so its use reveals the potential improvement that could be realized if a forecast of AFDD was developed.) Likewise, the potential of a mechanistic lake thermodynamics model is also assessed in a statistical correlation between ice cover and model outputs.

In this study, we investigated size-dependent depth distributions and the role of shallow habitats as predator refuges for age-0 winter flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus) in a northwest Atlantic estuarine nursery. Analysis of trawl surveys performed during the larval settlement period throughout the Navesink River and Sandy Hook Bay, New Jersey, showed that as fish increased in size, depth of occurrence gradually decreased, so that individuals >35 mm standard length (SL) were concentrated in habitats ~1 m deep. Tethering in structurally simple and adjacent shallow and deep habitats showed that predation risk for flounder (30-50 mm SL) was low in shallow water (<1 m) and increased rapidly with depth. Summer flounder (Paralichthys dentatus), which were more abundant in trammel nets in deep habitats and included winter flounder in their diets, appeared to be important consumers of tethered fish. Our results indicate that following larval settlement, winter flounder emigrate from or suffer high mortality in deeper water to become concentrated in shallow habitats that can serve as predator refuges even when they lack complex physical structures. These results highlight the potential for functional habitat loss when natural and/or anthropogenic factors make shallow habitats unavailable to young fish.

Tanks holding one, two and four fish were video-taped continuously before and after introduction of an olfactory cue and whole baits (squid). Pre-cue indices of activity did not vary with fish density. After olfactory stimulation, per capita activity was directly related to density, with no significant increase in activity by single fish. Numbers of baits located, attacked and consumed were directly related to fish density, and average times to first attack varied from 12 s in groups of four fish to >15 min in single fish. The latency period between location and attack decreased significantly with fish density. When large (43-55 cm, total length, L sub(T)) and small (31-38 cm L sub(T)) Pacific halibut were tested together in pairs and groups of four fish, small individuals located baits first in 61% of the trials. Large fish, however, consumed all of the baits (except one) in trials where both large and small fish responded. Social facilitation in Pacific halibut feeding will result in a non-linear relationship between catch per unit effort and population density, and the size composition of fish captured may be influenced by interference competition.

Males begin the maturation process between 875 and 910 mm fork length (L sub(F)), as indicated by the presence of functional claspers and siphon sacs. The presence of vitellogenic oocytes and developing oviducal glands and uteri indicated that females begin to mature at c. 870 mm L sub(F). Length at which 50% of the population reached maturity was 896 and 964 mm L sub(F), equivalent to 4 times 3 and 4 times 5 years, for males and females, respectively. Gonado-somatic indices suggested that spermatogenesis and vitellogenesis began after December. Mating took place during the end of May and the beginning of June. Fertilization occurred during late June and early July, suggesting that female blacknose sharks were capable of sperm storage. Based on the timing of fertilization and occurrence of females carrying near-term pups in late May and early June, the gestation period for blacknose sharks was c. 11 months. Female blacknose sharks reproduced biennially based on the absence of vitellogenic oocytes in near-term females and there being no indication of vitellogenesis in postpartum females. Male blacknose sharks were capable of reproducing annually as indicated by turgid genital ducts, which were observed in all mature males collected during late May and early June.

[Part 57 of 63] T2 - ALASKA GROUNDFISH FISHERIES, GULF OF ALASKA, BERING SEA, AND ALEUTIAN ISLANDS (FINAL PROGRAMMATIC SUPPLEMENTMNTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT). AN - 36372088; 10812-040259_0057 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the fishery management plans (FMPs) for the groundfish fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska is proposed in this final programmatic EIS. The areas of concern include waters associated with the Bering Sea and the Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska. The environmental reviews for the BSAI and the Gulf fisheries were prepared in 1978 and 1981, respectively. During the intervening years, the fisheries have evolved from primarily foreign fisheries to completely domestic fisheries. Approximately 2.2 million metric tons of groundfish are taken annually in the combined Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands fisheries, with groundfish harvested well below their overfishing levels. Some stocks are at or near their all time high biomass levels (Bering Sea pollack, Pacific cod, and rock sole), while others are at lower levels of abundance (Gulf of Alaska pollock and various rockfish). Fishery participants include catcher vessels, inshore processors and motherships, and catcher processors. This EIS provides a broad environmental evaluation examining alternative FMPs on a large scale. All finfish and invertebrate species in the areas of concern subject to the FMPs are grouped into five management categories, namely, target, prohibited, forage fish, non-specified species, and other species. Harvest quotas, or total allowable catch limits, would be set annually for target species, either individually or by species group based on optimum yield determinations. Prohibited species catch limits would be set for certain species (for example, salmon, herring, halibut, king crab, and Tanner crab) that are the target of other domestic fisheries, but are taken only incidentally during groundfish fishing operations. Principal groundfish fisheries are directed on pollock, Pacific cod, sablefish, flatfish, Atka mackerel, and rockfish. Gear types used to harvest fish include bottom and pelagic trawls, hook-and-ling (longlines), pot, and jig gear. Issues addressed in the alternative FMPs include those related to effects on target groundfish species, prohibited species, forage fish species, non-specified species, other species, essential fish habitat, seabirds, marine mammals, fishing industry socioeconomics, and marine ecosystems. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. A preliminarily preferred alternative has been identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for forward-looking conservation measures that would address differing levels of uncertainty, a precautionary approach that would apply judicious and responsible fisheries management practices based on sound scientific research and analysis. The alternative would result in proactive measures to assure the sustainability of fishery resources and associated ecosystems. Appropriate management of the fisheries would ensure preservation of immediate and long-term economic benefits to the fishing communities of the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands, Kodiak archipelago, south central Alaska, southeast Alaska, Washington inland waters, and the Oregon coast. Significant protection would be provided to federally protected marine mammal and seabird species as well as other non-target species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Excess capacity would continue to exist in some fisheries and in certain areas of each fishery.

AN - 36371915; 10812-040259_0040 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the fishery management plans (FMPs) for the groundfish fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska is proposed in this final programmatic EIS. The areas of concern include waters associated with the Bering Sea and the Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska. The environmental reviews for the BSAI and the Gulf fisheries were prepared in 1978 and 1981, respectively. During the intervening years, the fisheries have evolved from primarily foreign fisheries to completely domestic fisheries. Approximately 2.2 million metric tons of groundfish are taken annually in the combined Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands fisheries, with groundfish harvested well below their overfishing levels. Some stocks are at or near their all time high biomass levels (Bering Sea pollack, Pacific cod, and rock sole), while others are at lower levels of abundance (Gulf of Alaska pollock and various rockfish). Fishery participants include catcher vessels, inshore processors and motherships, and catcher processors. This EIS provides a broad environmental evaluation examining alternative FMPs on a large scale. All finfish and invertebrate species in the areas of concern subject to the FMPs are grouped into five management categories, namely, target, prohibited, forage fish, non-specified species, and other species. Harvest quotas, or total allowable catch limits, would be set annually for target species, either individually or by species group based on optimum yield determinations. Prohibited species catch limits would be set for certain species (for example, salmon, herring, halibut, king crab, and Tanner crab) that are the target of other domestic fisheries, but are taken only incidentally during groundfish fishing operations. Principal groundfish fisheries are directed on pollock, Pacific cod, sablefish, flatfish, Atka mackerel, and rockfish. Gear types used to harvest fish include bottom and pelagic trawls, hook-and-ling (longlines), pot, and jig gear. Issues addressed in the alternative FMPs include those related to effects on target groundfish species, prohibited species, forage fish species, non-specified species, other species, essential fish habitat, seabirds, marine mammals, fishing industry socioeconomics, and marine ecosystems. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. A preliminarily preferred alternative has been identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for forward-looking conservation measures that would address differing levels of uncertainty, a precautionary approach that would apply judicious and responsible fisheries management practices based on sound scientific research and analysis. The alternative would result in proactive measures to assure the sustainability of fishery resources and associated ecosystems. Appropriate management of the fisheries would ensure preservation of immediate and long-term economic benefits to the fishing communities of the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands, Kodiak archipelago, south central Alaska, southeast Alaska, Washington inland waters, and the Oregon coast. Significant protection would be provided to federally protected marine mammal and seabird species as well as other non-target species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Excess capacity would continue to exist in some fisheries and in certain areas of each fishery. Area closures and restrictions on catch, bycatch, and fishing gear, which could be enforced under the preferred alternative, could result in economic hardships for some fishery operators.

AN - 36371598; 10812-040259_0034 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the fishery management plans (FMPs) for the groundfish fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska is proposed in this final programmatic EIS. The areas of concern include waters associated with the Bering Sea and the Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska. The environmental reviews for the BSAI and the Gulf fisheries were prepared in 1978 and 1981, respectively. During the intervening years, the fisheries have evolved from primarily foreign fisheries to completely domestic fisheries. Approximately 2.2 million metric tons of groundfish are taken annually in the combined Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands fisheries, with groundfish harvested well below their overfishing levels. Some stocks are at or near their all time high biomass levels (Bering Sea pollack, Pacific cod, and rock sole), while others are at lower levels of abundance (Gulf of Alaska pollock and various rockfish). Fishery participants include catcher vessels, inshore processors and motherships, and catcher processors. This EIS provides a broad environmental evaluation examining alternative FMPs on a large scale. All finfish and invertebrate species in the areas of concern subject to the FMPs are grouped into five management categories, namely, target, prohibited, forage fish, non-specified species, and other species. Harvest quotas, or total allowable catch limits, would be set annually for target species, either individually or by species group based on optimum yield determinations. Prohibited species catch limits would be set for certain species (for example, salmon, herring, halibut, king crab, and Tanner crab) that are the target of other domestic fisheries, but are taken only incidentally during groundfish fishing operations. Principal groundfish fisheries are directed on pollock, Pacific cod, sablefish, flatfish, Atka mackerel, and rockfish. Gear types used to harvest fish include bottom and pelagic trawls, hook-and-ling (longlines), pot, and jig gear. Issues addressed in the alternative FMPs include those related to effects on target groundfish species, prohibited species, forage fish species, non-specified species, other species, essential fish habitat, seabirds, marine mammals, fishing industry socioeconomics, and marine ecosystems. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. A preliminarily preferred alternative has been identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for forward-looking conservation measures that would address differing levels of uncertainty, a precautionary approach that would apply judicious and responsible fisheries management practices based on sound scientific research and analysis. The alternative would result in proactive measures to assure the sustainability of fishery resources and associated ecosystems. Appropriate management of the fisheries would ensure preservation of immediate and long-term economic benefits to the fishing communities of the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands, Kodiak archipelago, south central Alaska, southeast Alaska, Washington inland waters, and the Oregon coast. Significant protection would be provided to federally protected marine mammal and seabird species as well as other non-target species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Excess capacity would continue to exist in some fisheries and in certain areas of each fishery. Area closures and restrictions on catch, bycatch, and fishing gear, which could be enforced under the preferred alternative, could result in economic hardships for some fishery operators.

AN - 36370677; 10812-040259_0006 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the fishery management plans (FMPs) for the groundfish fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska is proposed in this final programmatic EIS. The areas of concern include waters associated with the Bering Sea and the Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska. The environmental reviews for the BSAI and the Gulf fisheries were prepared in 1978 and 1981, respectively. During the intervening years, the fisheries have evolved from primarily foreign fisheries to completely domestic fisheries. Approximately 2.2 million metric tons of groundfish are taken annually in the combined Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands fisheries, with groundfish harvested well below their overfishing levels. Some stocks are at or near their all time high biomass levels (Bering Sea pollack, Pacific cod, and rock sole), while others are at lower levels of abundance (Gulf of Alaska pollock and various rockfish). Fishery participants include catcher vessels, inshore processors and motherships, and catcher processors. This EIS provides a broad environmental evaluation examining alternative FMPs on a large scale. All finfish and invertebrate species in the areas of concern subject to the FMPs are grouped into five management categories, namely, target, prohibited, forage fish, non-specified species, and other species. Harvest quotas, or total allowable catch limits, would be set annually for target species, either individually or by species group based on optimum yield determinations. Prohibited species catch limits would be set for certain species (for example, salmon, herring, halibut, king crab, and Tanner crab) that are the target of other domestic fisheries, but are taken only incidentally during groundfish fishing operations. Principal groundfish fisheries are directed on pollock, Pacific cod, sablefish, flatfish, Atka mackerel, and rockfish. Gear types used to harvest fish include bottom and pelagic trawls, hook-and-ling (longlines), pot, and jig gear. Issues addressed in the alternative FMPs include those related to effects on target groundfish species, prohibited species, forage fish species, non-specified species, other species, essential fish habitat, seabirds, marine mammals, fishing industry socioeconomics, and marine ecosystems. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. A preliminarily preferred alternative has been identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for forward-looking conservation measures that would address differing levels of uncertainty, a precautionary approach that would apply judicious and responsible fisheries management practices based on sound scientific research and analysis. The alternative would result in proactive measures to assure the sustainability of fishery resources and associated ecosystems. Appropriate management of the fisheries would ensure preservation of immediate and long-term economic benefits to the fishing communities of the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands, Kodiak archipelago, south central Alaska, southeast Alaska, Washington inland waters, and the Oregon coast. Significant protection would be provided to federally protected marine mammal and seabird species as well as other non-target species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Excess capacity would continue to exist in some fisheries and in certain areas of each fishery. Area closures and restrictions on catch, bycatch, and fishing gear, which could be enforced under the preferred alternative, could result in economic hardships for some fishery operators.

AN - 36369288; 10812-040259_0037 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the fishery management plans (FMPs) for the groundfish fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska is proposed in this final programmatic EIS. The areas of concern include waters associated with the Bering Sea and the Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska. The environmental reviews for the BSAI and the Gulf fisheries were prepared in 1978 and 1981, respectively. During the intervening years, the fisheries have evolved from primarily foreign fisheries to completely domestic fisheries. Approximately 2.2 million metric tons of groundfish are taken annually in the combined Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands fisheries, with groundfish harvested well below their overfishing levels. Some stocks are at or near their all time high biomass levels (Bering Sea pollack, Pacific cod, and rock sole), while others are at lower levels of abundance (Gulf of Alaska pollock and various rockfish). Fishery participants include catcher vessels, inshore processors and motherships, and catcher processors. This EIS provides a broad environmental evaluation examining alternative FMPs on a large scale. All finfish and invertebrate species in the areas of concern subject to the FMPs are grouped into five management categories, namely, target, prohibited, forage fish, non-specified species, and other species. Harvest quotas, or total allowable catch limits, would be set annually for target species, either individually or by species group based on optimum yield determinations. Prohibited species catch limits would be set for certain species (for example, salmon, herring, halibut, king crab, and Tanner crab) that are the target of other domestic fisheries, but are taken only incidentally during groundfish fishing operations. Principal groundfish fisheries are directed on pollock, Pacific cod, sablefish, flatfish, Atka mackerel, and rockfish. Gear types used to harvest fish include bottom and pelagic trawls, hook-and-ling (longlines), pot, and jig gear. Issues addressed in the alternative FMPs include those related to effects on target groundfish species, prohibited species, forage fish species, non-specified species, other species, essential fish habitat, seabirds, marine mammals, fishing industry socioeconomics, and marine ecosystems. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. A preliminarily preferred alternative has been identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for forward-looking conservation measures that would address differing levels of uncertainty, a precautionary approach that would apply judicious and responsible fisheries management practices based on sound scientific research and analysis. The alternative would result in proactive measures to assure the sustainability of fishery resources and associated ecosystems. Appropriate management of the fisheries would ensure preservation of immediate and long-term economic benefits to the fishing communities of the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands, Kodiak archipelago, south central Alaska, southeast Alaska, Washington inland waters, and the Oregon coast. Significant protection would be provided to federally protected marine mammal and seabird species as well as other non-target species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Excess capacity would continue to exist in some fisheries and in certain areas of each fishery. Area closures and restrictions on catch, bycatch, and fishing gear, which could be enforced under the preferred alternative, could result in economic hardships for some fishery operators.

AN - 36368814; 10812-040259_0025 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the fishery management plans (FMPs) for the groundfish fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska is proposed in this final programmatic EIS. The areas of concern include waters associated with the Bering Sea and the Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska. The environmental reviews for the BSAI and the Gulf fisheries were prepared in 1978 and 1981, respectively. During the intervening years, the fisheries have evolved from primarily foreign fisheries to completely domestic fisheries. Approximately 2.2 million metric tons of groundfish are taken annually in the combined Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands fisheries, with groundfish harvested well below their overfishing levels. Some stocks are at or near their all time high biomass levels (Bering Sea pollack, Pacific cod, and rock sole), while others are at lower levels of abundance (Gulf of Alaska pollock and various rockfish). Fishery participants include catcher vessels, inshore processors and motherships, and catcher processors. This EIS provides a broad environmental evaluation examining alternative FMPs on a large scale. All finfish and invertebrate species in the areas of concern subject to the FMPs are grouped into five management categories, namely, target, prohibited, forage fish, non-specified species, and other species. Harvest quotas, or total allowable catch limits, would be set annually for target species, either individually or by species group based on optimum yield determinations. Prohibited species catch limits would be set for certain species (for example, salmon, herring, halibut, king crab, and Tanner crab) that are the target of other domestic fisheries, but are taken only incidentally during groundfish fishing operations. Principal groundfish fisheries are directed on pollock, Pacific cod, sablefish, flatfish, Atka mackerel, and rockfish. Gear types used to harvest fish include bottom and pelagic trawls, hook-and-ling (longlines), pot, and jig gear. Issues addressed in the alternative FMPs include those related to effects on target groundfish species, prohibited species, forage fish species, non-specified species, other species, essential fish habitat, seabirds, marine mammals, fishing industry socioeconomics, and marine ecosystems. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. A preliminarily preferred alternative has been identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for forward-looking conservation measures that would address differing levels of uncertainty, a precautionary approach that would apply judicious and responsible fisheries management practices based on sound scientific research and analysis. The alternative would result in proactive measures to assure the sustainability of fishery resources and associated ecosystems. Appropriate management of the fisheries would ensure preservation of immediate and long-term economic benefits to the fishing communities of the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands, Kodiak archipelago, south central Alaska, southeast Alaska, Washington inland waters, and the Oregon coast. Significant protection would be provided to federally protected marine mammal and seabird species as well as other non-target species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Excess capacity would continue to exist in some fisheries and in certain areas of each fishery. Area closures and restrictions on catch, bycatch, and fishing gear, which could be enforced under the preferred alternative, could result in economic hardships for some fishery operators.

AN - 36367942; 10812-040259_0007 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the fishery management plans (FMPs) for the groundfish fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska is proposed in this final programmatic EIS. The areas of concern include waters associated with the Bering Sea and the Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska. The environmental reviews for the BSAI and the Gulf fisheries were prepared in 1978 and 1981, respectively. During the intervening years, the fisheries have evolved from primarily foreign fisheries to completely domestic fisheries. Approximately 2.2 million metric tons of groundfish are taken annually in the combined Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands fisheries, with groundfish harvested well below their overfishing levels. Some stocks are at or near their all time high biomass levels (Bering Sea pollack, Pacific cod, and rock sole), while others are at lower levels of abundance (Gulf of Alaska pollock and various rockfish). Fishery participants include catcher vessels, inshore processors and motherships, and catcher processors. This EIS provides a broad environmental evaluation examining alternative FMPs on a large scale. All finfish and invertebrate species in the areas of concern subject to the FMPs are grouped into five management categories, namely, target, prohibited, forage fish, non-specified species, and other species. Harvest quotas, or total allowable catch limits, would be set annually for target species, either individually or by species group based on optimum yield determinations. Prohibited species catch limits would be set for certain species (for example, salmon, herring, halibut, king crab, and Tanner crab) that are the target of other domestic fisheries, but are taken only incidentally during groundfish fishing operations. Principal groundfish fisheries are directed on pollock, Pacific cod, sablefish, flatfish, Atka mackerel, and rockfish. Gear types used to harvest fish include bottom and pelagic trawls, hook-and-ling (longlines), pot, and jig gear. Issues addressed in the alternative FMPs include those related to effects on target groundfish species, prohibited species, forage fish species, non-specified species, other species, essential fish habitat, seabirds, marine mammals, fishing industry socioeconomics, and marine ecosystems. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. A preliminarily preferred alternative has been identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for forward-looking conservation measures that would address differing levels of uncertainty, a precautionary approach that would apply judicious and responsible fisheries management practices based on sound scientific research and analysis. The alternative would result in proactive measures to assure the sustainability of fishery resources and associated ecosystems. Appropriate management of the fisheries would ensure preservation of immediate and long-term economic benefits to the fishing communities of the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands, Kodiak archipelago, south central Alaska, southeast Alaska, Washington inland waters, and the Oregon coast. Significant protection would be provided to federally protected marine mammal and seabird species as well as other non-target species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Excess capacity would continue to exist in some fisheries and in certain areas of each fishery. Area closures and restrictions on catch, bycatch, and fishing gear, which could be enforced under the preferred alternative, could result in economic hardships for some fishery operators.

AN - 36366824; 10812-040259_0052 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the fishery management plans (FMPs) for the groundfish fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska is proposed in this final programmatic EIS. The areas of concern include waters associated with the Bering Sea and the Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska. The environmental reviews for the BSAI and the Gulf fisheries were prepared in 1978 and 1981, respectively. During the intervening years, the fisheries have evolved from primarily foreign fisheries to completely domestic fisheries. Approximately 2.2 million metric tons of groundfish are taken annually in the combined Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands fisheries, with groundfish harvested well below their overfishing levels. Some stocks are at or near their all time high biomass levels (Bering Sea pollack, Pacific cod, and rock sole), while others are at lower levels of abundance (Gulf of Alaska pollock and various rockfish). Fishery participants include catcher vessels, inshore processors and motherships, and catcher processors. This EIS provides a broad environmental evaluation examining alternative FMPs on a large scale. All finfish and invertebrate species in the areas of concern subject to the FMPs are grouped into five management categories, namely, target, prohibited, forage fish, non-specified species, and other species. Harvest quotas, or total allowable catch limits, would be set annually for target species, either individually or by species group based on optimum yield determinations. Prohibited species catch limits would be set for certain species (for example, salmon, herring, halibut, king crab, and Tanner crab) that are the target of other domestic fisheries, but are taken only incidentally during groundfish fishing operations. Principal groundfish fisheries are directed on pollock, Pacific cod, sablefish, flatfish, Atka mackerel, and rockfish. Gear types used to harvest fish include bottom and pelagic trawls, hook-and-ling (longlines), pot, and jig gear. Issues addressed in the alternative FMPs include those related to effects on target groundfish species, prohibited species, forage fish species, non-specified species, other species, essential fish habitat, seabirds, marine mammals, fishing industry socioeconomics, and marine ecosystems. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. A preliminarily preferred alternative has been identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for forward-looking conservation measures that would address differing levels of uncertainty, a precautionary approach that would apply judicious and responsible fisheries management practices based on sound scientific research and analysis. The alternative would result in proactive measures to assure the sustainability of fishery resources and associated ecosystems. Appropriate management of the fisheries would ensure preservation of immediate and long-term economic benefits to the fishing communities of the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands, Kodiak archipelago, south central Alaska, southeast Alaska, Washington inland waters, and the Oregon coast. Significant protection would be provided to federally protected marine mammal and seabird species as well as other non-target species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Excess capacity would continue to exist in some fisheries and in certain areas of each fishery. Area closures and restrictions on catch, bycatch, and fishing gear, which could be enforced under the preferred alternative, could result in economic hardships for some fishery operators.

AN - 36360948; 10812-040259_0023 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the fishery management plans (FMPs) for the groundfish fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska is proposed in this final programmatic EIS. The areas of concern include waters associated with the Bering Sea and the Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska. The environmental reviews for the BSAI and the Gulf fisheries were prepared in 1978 and 1981, respectively. During the intervening years, the fisheries have evolved from primarily foreign fisheries to completely domestic fisheries. Approximately 2.2 million metric tons of groundfish are taken annually in the combined Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands fisheries, with groundfish harvested well below their overfishing levels. Some stocks are at or near their all time high biomass levels (Bering Sea pollack, Pacific cod, and rock sole), while others are at lower levels of abundance (Gulf of Alaska pollock and various rockfish). Fishery participants include catcher vessels, inshore processors and motherships, and catcher processors. This EIS provides a broad environmental evaluation examining alternative FMPs on a large scale. All finfish and invertebrate species in the areas of concern subject to the FMPs are grouped into five management categories, namely, target, prohibited, forage fish, non-specified species, and other species. Harvest quotas, or total allowable catch limits, would be set annually for target species, either individually or by species group based on optimum yield determinations. Prohibited species catch limits would be set for certain species (for example, salmon, herring, halibut, king crab, and Tanner crab) that are the target of other domestic fisheries, but are taken only incidentally during groundfish fishing operations. Principal groundfish fisheries are directed on pollock, Pacific cod, sablefish, flatfish, Atka mackerel, and rockfish. Gear types used to harvest fish include bottom and pelagic trawls, hook-and-ling (longlines), pot, and jig gear. Issues addressed in the alternative FMPs include those related to effects on target groundfish species, prohibited species, forage fish species, non-specified species, other species, essential fish habitat, seabirds, marine mammals, fishing industry socioeconomics, and marine ecosystems. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. A preliminarily preferred alternative has been identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for forward-looking conservation measures that would address differing levels of uncertainty, a precautionary approach that would apply judicious and responsible fisheries management practices based on sound scientific research and analysis. The alternative would result in proactive measures to assure the sustainability of fishery resources and associated ecosystems. Appropriate management of the fisheries would ensure preservation of immediate and long-term economic benefits to the fishing communities of the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands, Kodiak archipelago, south central Alaska, southeast Alaska, Washington inland waters, and the Oregon coast. Significant protection would be provided to federally protected marine mammal and seabird species as well as other non-target species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Excess capacity would continue to exist in some fisheries and in certain areas of each fishery. Area closures and restrictions on catch, bycatch, and fishing gear, which could be enforced under the preferred alternative, could result in economic hardships for some fishery operators.

AN - 36357967; 10812-040259_0061 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the fishery management plans (FMPs) for the groundfish fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska is proposed in this final programmatic EIS. The areas of concern include waters associated with the Bering Sea and the Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska. The environmental reviews for the BSAI and the Gulf fisheries were prepared in 1978 and 1981, respectively. During the intervening years, the fisheries have evolved from primarily foreign fisheries to completely domestic fisheries. Approximately 2.2 million metric tons of groundfish are taken annually in the combined Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands fisheries, with groundfish harvested well below their overfishing levels. Some stocks are at or near their all time high biomass levels (Bering Sea pollack, Pacific cod, and rock sole), while others are at lower levels of abundance (Gulf of Alaska pollock and various rockfish). Fishery participants include catcher vessels, inshore processors and motherships, and catcher processors. This EIS provides a broad environmental evaluation examining alternative FMPs on a large scale. All finfish and invertebrate species in the areas of concern subject to the FMPs are grouped into five management categories, namely, target, prohibited, forage fish, non-specified species, and other species. Harvest quotas, or total allowable catch limits, would be set annually for target species, either individually or by species group based on optimum yield determinations. Prohibited species catch limits would be set for certain species (for example, salmon, herring, halibut, king crab, and Tanner crab) that are the target of other domestic fisheries, but are taken only incidentally during groundfish fishing operations. Principal groundfish fisheries are directed on pollock, Pacific cod, sablefish, flatfish, Atka mackerel, and rockfish. Gear types used to harvest fish include bottom and pelagic trawls, hook-and-ling (longlines), pot, and jig gear. Issues addressed in the alternative FMPs include those related to effects on target groundfish species, prohibited species, forage fish species, non-specified species, other species, essential fish habitat, seabirds, marine mammals, fishing industry socioeconomics, and marine ecosystems. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. A preliminarily preferred alternative has been identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for forward-looking conservation measures that would address differing levels of uncertainty, a precautionary approach that would apply judicious and responsible fisheries management practices based on sound scientific research and analysis. The alternative would result in proactive measures to assure the sustainability of fishery resources and associated ecosystems. Appropriate management of the fisheries would ensure preservation of immediate and long-term economic benefits to the fishing communities of the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands, Kodiak archipelago, south central Alaska, southeast Alaska, Washington inland waters, and the Oregon coast. Significant protection would be provided to federally protected marine mammal and seabird species as well as other non-target species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Excess capacity would continue to exist in some fisheries and in certain areas of each fishery. Area closures and restrictions on catch, bycatch, and fishing gear, which could be enforced under the preferred alternative, could result in economic hardships for some fishery operators.

AN - 36356954; 10812-040259_0044 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the fishery management plans (FMPs) for the groundfish fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska is proposed in this final programmatic EIS. The areas of concern include waters associated with the Bering Sea and the Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska. The environmental reviews for the BSAI and the Gulf fisheries were prepared in 1978 and 1981, respectively. During the intervening years, the fisheries have evolved from primarily foreign fisheries to completely domestic fisheries. Approximately 2.2 million metric tons of groundfish are taken annually in the combined Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands fisheries, with groundfish harvested well below their overfishing levels. Some stocks are at or near their all time high biomass levels (Bering Sea pollack, Pacific cod, and rock sole), while others are at lower levels of abundance (Gulf of Alaska pollock and various rockfish). Fishery participants include catcher vessels, inshore processors and motherships, and catcher processors. This EIS provides a broad environmental evaluation examining alternative FMPs on a large scale. All finfish and invertebrate species in the areas of concern subject to the FMPs are grouped into five management categories, namely, target, prohibited, forage fish, non-specified species, and other species. Harvest quotas, or total allowable catch limits, would be set annually for target species, either individually or by species group based on optimum yield determinations. Prohibited species catch limits would be set for certain species (for example, salmon, herring, halibut, king crab, and Tanner crab) that are the target of other domestic fisheries, but are taken only incidentally during groundfish fishing operations. Principal groundfish fisheries are directed on pollock, Pacific cod, sablefish, flatfish, Atka mackerel, and rockfish. Gear types used to harvest fish include bottom and pelagic trawls, hook-and-ling (longlines), pot, and jig gear. Issues addressed in the alternative FMPs include those related to effects on target groundfish species, prohibited species, forage fish species, non-specified species, other species, essential fish habitat, seabirds, marine mammals, fishing industry socioeconomics, and marine ecosystems. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. A preliminarily preferred alternative has been identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for forward-looking conservation measures that would address differing levels of uncertainty, a precautionary approach that would apply judicious and responsible fisheries management practices based on sound scientific research and analysis. The alternative would result in proactive measures to assure the sustainability of fishery resources and associated ecosystems. Appropriate management of the fisheries would ensure preservation of immediate and long-term economic benefits to the fishing communities of the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands, Kodiak archipelago, south central Alaska, southeast Alaska, Washington inland waters, and the Oregon coast. Significant protection would be provided to federally protected marine mammal and seabird species as well as other non-target species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Excess capacity would continue to exist in some fisheries and in certain areas of each fishery. Area closures and restrictions on catch, bycatch, and fishing gear, which could be enforced under the preferred alternative, could result in economic hardships for some fishery operators.

AN - 36355260; 10812-040259_0017 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the fishery management plans (FMPs) for the groundfish fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska is proposed in this final programmatic EIS. The areas of concern include waters associated with the Bering Sea and the Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska. The environmental reviews for the BSAI and the Gulf fisheries were prepared in 1978 and 1981, respectively. During the intervening years, the fisheries have evolved from primarily foreign fisheries to completely domestic fisheries. Approximately 2.2 million metric tons of groundfish are taken annually in the combined Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands fisheries, with groundfish harvested well below their overfishing levels. Some stocks are at or near their all time high biomass levels (Bering Sea pollack, Pacific cod, and rock sole), while others are at lower levels of abundance (Gulf of Alaska pollock and various rockfish). Fishery participants include catcher vessels, inshore processors and motherships, and catcher processors. This EIS provides a broad environmental evaluation examining alternative FMPs on a large scale. All finfish and invertebrate species in the areas of concern subject to the FMPs are grouped into five management categories, namely, target, prohibited, forage fish, non-specified species, and other species. Harvest quotas, or total allowable catch limits, would be set annually for target species, either individually or by species group based on optimum yield determinations. Prohibited species catch limits would be set for certain species (for example, salmon, herring, halibut, king crab, and Tanner crab) that are the target of other domestic fisheries, but are taken only incidentally during groundfish fishing operations. Principal groundfish fisheries are directed on pollock, Pacific cod, sablefish, flatfish, Atka mackerel, and rockfish. Gear types used to harvest fish include bottom and pelagic trawls, hook-and-ling (longlines), pot, and jig gear. Issues addressed in the alternative FMPs include those related to effects on target groundfish species, prohibited species, forage fish species, non-specified species, other species, essential fish habitat, seabirds, marine mammals, fishing industry socioeconomics, and marine ecosystems. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the existing management regime, are considered in this draft EIS. A preliminarily preferred alternative has been identified. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The preferred alternative would provide for forward-looking conservation measures that would address differing levels of uncertainty, a precautionary approach that would apply judicious and responsible fisheries management practices based on sound scientific research and analysis. The alternative would result in proactive measures to assure the sustainability of fishery resources and associated ecosystems. Appropriate management of the fisheries would ensure preservation of immediate and long-term economic benefits to the fishing communities of the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands, Kodiak archipelago, south central Alaska, southeast Alaska, Washington inland waters, and the Oregon coast. Significant protection would be provided to federally protected marine mammal and seabird species as well as other non-target species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Excess capacity would continue to exist in some fisheries and in certain areas of each fishery. Area closures and restrictions on catch, bycatch, and fishing gear, which could be enforced under the preferred alternative, could result in economic hardships for some fishery operators.

Preparation date: May 28, 2004 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - FREEPORT LNG PROJECT, FREEPORT LNG DEVELOPMENT, L.P., QUINTANA ISLAND, BRAZORIA COUNTY, TEXAS (DOCKET NO. CP03-75-000). [Part 1 of 1] T2 - FREEPORT LNG PROJECT, FREEPORT LNG DEVELOPMENT, L.P., QUINTANA ISLAND, BRAZORIA COUNTY, TEXAS (DOCKET NO. CP03-75-000). AN - 36367339; 10807-040254_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal facility on Quintana Island southeast of the city of Freeport in Brazoria County, Texas are proposed. Freeport LNG Development, L.P. proposes to construct and operate a new LNG import terminal, including an LNG tanker docking and unloading service facilities. In addition Freeport LNG would construct and operate a new natural gas pipeline and ancillary facilities in Brazoira County. More specifically, Freeport LNG would construct an LNG ship maneuvering area; a protected single berth unloading dock, equipped with three liquid unloading arms and one vapor return arm and mooring and breasting dolphins; a reconfigured storm protection levee and a permanent access road; two 26-inch-diameter double-walled stainless steel vacuum insulated LNG transfer lines and one 16-inch-diameter vapor return line; ancillary service pipelines; two double-walled LNG storage tanks, each with a nominal capacity of just over 1.0 million barrels (3.5 billion cubic feet of gas equivalent); six 3,240-gallon-per-minute (gpm) in-tank pumps; seven 2,315-gpm, high-pressure booster pumps; three boil-off gas compressors and a boil-off gas condensing system; six high-pressure LNG vaporizers using a primary closed-circuit water /glycol solution heated with 12 water/glycol boilers during cold weather and a set of intermediate heat exchangers using a secondary circulating water system heated by an air tower during warm weather, and circulation pumps for both systems; two natural gas superheaters and two fuel gas heaters; and a fire response system, a natural gas flare system, a construction dock, utilities, buildings, access roadways, and service facilities. The associated pipeline system in Brazoria County would consist of 9.6 miles of 36-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline extending from the LNG terminal to the proposed Stratton Ridge Meter Station as well as pig-launcher, pig-receiver, and metering facilities. In addition to Freeport LNG's proposal, this final EIS considers a No-Action Alternative and a postponed action alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The port terminal would provide facilities necessary to deliver imported LNG to shippers, including Dow Chemical Company, at the proposed Stratton Ridge Meter Station by 2007. The proposed facilities would re-vaporize up to 1.5 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas and transport the product to the Texas intrastate market. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Construction activities would affect 296 acres of land and water, including 188.2 acres to be developed for the LNG terminal and 107.8 acres to be developed for the pipeline system. Approximately 119.7 acres at the LNG terminal would be displaced by permanent facilities, the remainder being affected only by temporary construction areas. Following construction of the pipeline, approximately 41.4 acres, including 3.8 acres of grassland/pasture at the Stratton Ridge Meter Station, would be retained as permanent rights-of-way. Approximately 80.9 acres of wetlands would be affected, including 42.6 acres that would be permanently displaced. Approximately 201 acres of vegetation would be disturbed, including 103.3 acres that would be permanently displaced. The terminal facility would lie in an area affected by subsidence; measures would be taken to address this potential problem. Shoreline erosion problems in the area could be exacerbated by construction and operation of the terminal. Hydric soils present throughout the site and along the pipeline route would be replaced by upland soils. The pipeline would traverse four perennial waterbodies and two intermittent waterbodies. One residence would be relocated or demolished prior to the construction of the marine berth on Quintana Island, and 13 residences would lie within 50 feet of the construction work areas for the pipeline. A county boat ramp and the Xeriscape Park on the island would also be relocated. The LNG storage tanks and other LNG terminal facilities would impinge visually on the surrounding area. Thermal impacts of terminal operation could be significant. Cultural resource surveys have not yet been undertaken.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - AMENDMENT 23 TO THE REEF FISH FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN TO SET VERMILION SNAPPER SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES ACT TARGETS AND THRESHOLDS AND TO ESTABLISH A PLAN TO END OVERFISHING AND REBUILD THE STOCK IN THE GULF OF MEXICO DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMACT STATEMENT OF AUGUST 1981). AN - 905874123; 10797-3_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the reef fish fishery management plan for the Gulf of Mexico is proposed to set vermilion snapper sustainable fisheries act targets and thresholds and to establish a plan to end overfishing and rebuild the stock. U.S. fishery operators originate in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas; 15 operators enter the fishery from outside the Gulf region. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council defined maximum sustainable yield (MSY), optimum yield (OY), minimum stock size threshold (MSST), and maximum fishing mortality threshold (MFMT) for the vermilion snapper stock in its 1999 Generic Sustainable Fisheries Act Amendment. However, estimates of MSY, OY, and MSST proposed in that amendment were disapproved because they were not biomass based. Consequently, the Council is required to define biomass-based estimates of MST, OY, and MSST for the vermilion snapper stock. Additionally, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has determined that the Gulf vermilion snapper stock is overfished and experiencing continued overfishing. Vermilion snapper biomass was estimated to be 32 percent of the biomass associated with MSY in 2000 and is well below the default definition of MSST (75 percent of MSY) provided by the NMFS National Standard Guidelines. NMFS also concluded that the vermilion snapper stock experienced a fishing mortality rate in 1999 of nearly twice the rate of instantaneous fishing mortality that can produce MSY. Federal legislation requires that the Council prepare a plan to end overfishing and rebuild the stock within one year of its notice of October 30, 2003. This draft supplement to the final FMP EIS of August 1981 considers six rebuilding alternatives, six recreational fishery management alternatives, seven alternatives designed to achieve the required reduction in commercial harvest in order to rebuild the snapper stock; each set of alternatives includes a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Council's proposed plan would define biomass-based estimates of MSY, OY, and MSST for the vermilion snapper stock; modify, as needed, the definition of MFMT for vermilion snapper to incorporate the best available scientific information on the fishery; and establish a plan to end overfishing and rebuild the vermillion snapper stock to MSY consistent with federal requirements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Lowering the allowable catch of vermilion snapper in the Gulf would result in short-term economic losses and limit recreational access to the fishery.

AN - 36410461; 10797 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the reef fish fishery management plan for the Gulf of Mexico is proposed to set vermilion snapper sustainable fisheries act targets and thresholds and to establish a plan to end overfishing and rebuild the stock. U.S. fishery operators originate in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas; 15 operators enter the fishery from outside the Gulf region. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council defined maximum sustainable yield (MSY), optimum yield (OY), minimum stock size threshold (MSST), and maximum fishing mortality threshold (MFMT) for the vermilion snapper stock in its 1999 Generic Sustainable Fisheries Act Amendment. However, estimates of MSY, OY, and MSST proposed in that amendment were disapproved because they were not biomass based. Consequently, the Council is required to define biomass-based estimates of MST, OY, and MSST for the vermilion snapper stock. Additionally, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has determined that the Gulf vermilion snapper stock is overfished and experiencing continued overfishing. Vermilion snapper biomass was estimated to be 32 percent of the biomass associated with MSY in 2000 and is well below the default definition of MSST (75 percent of MSY) provided by the NMFS National Standard Guidelines. NMFS also concluded that the vermilion snapper stock experienced a fishing mortality rate in 1999 of nearly twice the rate of instantaneous fishing mortality that can produce MSY. Federal legislation requires that the Council prepare a plan to end overfishing and rebuild the stock within one year of its notice of October 30, 2003. This draft supplement to the final FMP EIS of August 1981 considers six rebuilding alternatives, six recreational fishery management alternatives, seven alternatives designed to achieve the required reduction in commercial harvest in order to rebuild the snapper stock; each set of alternatives includes a No Action Alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The Council's proposed plan would define biomass-based estimates of MSY, OY, and MSST for the vermilion snapper stock; modify, as needed, the definition of MFMT for vermilion snapper to incorporate the best available scientific information on the fishery; and establish a plan to end overfishing and rebuild the vermillion snapper stock to MSY consistent with federal requirements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Lowering the allowable catch of vermilion snapper in the Gulf would result in short-term economic losses and limit recreational access to the fishery.

[Part 2 of 3] T2 - BANKS LAKE DRAWDOWN, DOUGLAS AND GRANT COUNTIES, WASHINGTON. AN - 36391590; 10798-040244_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a plan to drawdown Banks Lake in Douglas and Grant counties, Washington is proposed. The proposal would result in a drawdown of the lake surface elevation from 1,565 feet to 1,560 feet in August of each year. On September 1 of each year, the water level would begin to be increased, with an elevation of 1,570 feet being reached no later than September 22. The action is needed to increase the probability of meeting flow objectives in the Columbia River at McNary Dam during out-migration of federally protected salmonid stock. The drawdown would provide an additional 127,200 acre-feet of water for this purpose. Issues addressed during scoping include those associated with lake elevations, irrigation deliveries, fish and wildlife habitat, threatened and endangered species, recreation resources, public safety, cultural resources, and economics, with particular respect to the local economy and hydropower generation. In addition to the drawdown alternative, this final EIS considers a No Action Alternative, resulting in an August surface elevation at the lake of between 1,565 and 1,570 feet. Each alternative includes four potential operational scenarios that could occur within their respective ranges. The No Action Alternative has been selected as the preferred alternative. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the action alternative, the drawdown would help ensure at least a minimum downstream flow level for out-migrating salmonids; fish prey could become more available to bald eagles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Under the action alternative, severe water fluctuations during drawdowns and returns to normal pool elevation would result in damage to vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat and the distribution and abundance of fish and wildlife in the vicinity of the reservoir could be affected. Drawdowns would also affect recreational access and, thereby, recreation-based businesses. Habitat for the federally protected bald eagle and pygmy rabbit would be affected as well. The action alternative would result in annual hydroelectric energy generation losses of 8,000 megawatt-hours (MWh); net power generation losses would range from 812 to 1,695 MWh annually. Surface water quality could be affected by increases in thermal mixing during drawdowns, and groundwater levels could drop during these periods. Drawdown under the preferred alternative would result in mudflats covering 2,500 acres, while the No Action Alternative would only expose 1,300 acres. Under either alternative, up to 12 boat launches would be exposed and rendered unusable during the recreational season. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

AN - 72002139; 15180066 AB - Environmental scientists from federal agencies, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and academia have long suspected that increasing anthropogenic inputs of various trace gases into the atmosphere can cause changes in the earth's climate and protective ozone layer. Nitrous oxide and methane, cited in the Kyoto Protocol, as well astrichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11) and dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12), cited in the Montreal Protocol, are all greenhouse gases and are implicated in the destruction of the stratospheric ozone layer. The lack of national standards prompted research to determine the feasibility of preparing accurate and stable standards containing these four compounds. Development of these standards would support the measurement of these species by those in the atmospheric research community not having their own source of standards. A suite of eight primary gas standards containing methane, nitrous oxide, CFC-11, and CFC-12 in a balance of air were prepared gravimetrically to bracket the ambient atmospheric concentrations. The combined uncertainties (uc) were calculated from error propagation analysis that included the weighing data from the gravimetric preparation and other sources of error such as the purity analysis of the compounds and air matrix. The expanded uncertainties (U) for the gravimetric standards were < 0.5% as calculated from the equation U = kuc, where the coverage factor k is equal to 2 for a 95% confidence interval. Analyses of the suite of standards by gas chromatography with flame-ionization and electron capture detection resulted in average absolute residuals of < 0.25% from regression models. The NIST suite of eight gravimetric standards was used to determine the concentrations in two standardsfrom NOAA. Those analyses resulted in bias across the two laboratories of < or = 2.1%.

Census 2000 Special Reports. CENSR-15. AN - 62116901; ED484415 AB - This report looks at the distribution of earnings by occupation for all workers and separately for men and women as reported on the Census 2000 long form. Earnings include wages, salaries, and self-employment income (see Text Box: What is "Earnings"? for more details). Whereas income questions have been asked on the decennial census only since 1940, occupation questions have been asked since 1850. Census 2000 classified occupations into 509 categories, including four special codes for uniquely military occupations, based on the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification which contains 821 detailed occupations (see Text Box: What is the Standard Occupational Classification?). This report also concentrates on year-round, full-time workers in the civilian labor force 16 years of age or older. (Contains 46 footnotes.) AU - Weinberg, Daniel H.

AN - 60517595; 200510640 AB - We used a preferences-&-constraints model to develop four hypotheses to explain why parents may choose self-care (an unsupervised arrangement) as the primary child care arrangement for their children over supervised alternatives & tested them in a multivariate framework using 1995 data from the Survey of Income & Program Participation. We found that the choice of self-care over supervised care alternatives is linked to the availability of parents' time to care for children, the child's level of responsibility & maturity, & the neighborhood context. However we found no evidence that parents' ability to pay for child care is related to the choice of self-care. The results also suggest that parents use different decision-making processes, depending on their children's ages. 4 Tables, 33 References. Adapted from the source document.

Information from historical surveys, together with data from surface water monitoring programs in three major connecting channels, has also been collated in order to evaluate temporal trends. In general, Lakes Superior and Michigan exhibited the lowest levels of sediment contamination while Lake Ontario had the highest. Contaminants such as gamma -HCH (lindane) and dieldrin were ubiquitous in surface waters across the entire basin, which was indicative of atmospheric sources. The distribution of other compounds including hexachlorobenzene, octachlorostyrene and mirex indicated the presence of local sources within the watersheds of the connecting channels. Surficial sediment contamination was found to have decreased markedly since the late 1960s and 1970s. Similarly, surface water contamination decreased over the period 1986-1997 with concentrations of dieldrin, hexachlorobenzene, octachlorostyrene and mirex reduced by over 50%. However, the spatial distributions of both sediment and surface water contamination indicate that further effort is warranted in reducing local sources of contaminants, particularly in Lake Ontario.

Brown along the coast of New England, downwind of New York, Boston, and Portsmouth and large forested areas in New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts in July and August 2002. The diurnal variations of isoprene, monoterpenes, and aromatics were mainly dependent on their emissions and the abundance of the oxidants OH and NO sub(3). Elevated mixing ratios of short-lived VOCs were only encountered at the ship, which was about 1-6 hours downwind of the sources, when the concentrations of the oxidants were low. For the biogenic compounds this was generally the case during morning and evening hours, when the lifetime of the biogenics was long because of low OH and NO sub(3) concentrations. Most anthropogenic VOCs do not react with NO sub(3), and therefore their mixing ratios remained elevated during the night. The products of isoprene oxidation, methyl vinyl ketone, methacrolein, and peroxymethacrylic nitric anhydride (MPAN) were, on average, more abundant than isoprene itself. Only during the transition periods from day to night, when oxidation rates were at a minimum, could isoprene exceed its products. The loss of the biogenic VOCs was dominated by reactions with NO sub(3), whereas the loss of anthropogenics came mostly from reactions with OH. The oxygenated VOCs are the major contributor to the OH loss, except in close vicinity of emission sources. The total loss of biogenic compounds during the night was so effective that after one night of transport they were in most cases completely reacted away, whereas the mixing ratios of the anthropogenic compounds remained high during the night. The pool of reactive hydrocarbons at sunrise was thus typically dominated by anthropogenic VOCs. JF - Journal of Geophysical Research. D. Atmospheres AU - Warneke, C AU - de Gouw, J.A.

The major source of NO sub(x) in this region is fossil fuel combustion, which is localized within the continental boundary layer (CBL). We use CO as a tracer of these anthropogenic emissions to estimate the fraction of the emitted NO sub(x) that is exported to the free troposphere (FT), either as NO sub(x) itself or as its oxidation products. This export was identified as plumes enhanced in CO above an estimated background by at least 30 ppbv, which account for 20-31% of the air parcels sampled in the FT during the five field studies. These plumes were encountered throughout the FT up to the 8 km ceiling of the aircraft but were primarily located just above the CBL with average altitudes of 3.0-4.1 km above ground level. In the summer over the continent, only 20 plus or minus 5% of the originally emitted nitrogen oxides was transported in those plumes. This fraction is in reasonable accord with model results, but the models include only deep convection and not the shallow CBL venting mechanisms responsible for the observed plumes. During the two field studies in the early fall and in the spring over the western North Atlantic, we find that 9 plus or minus 4% of the NO sub(y) was transported, although Li et al. [2004] suggest that this is an underestimate and that 15 plus or minus 11% is more accurate. Both of these numbers indicate that model results in the literature overestimate the amount of NO sub(y) transported from the CBL to the FT. In these five field studies, HNO sub(3) generally accounted for one-half to two-thirds of the NO sub(y), which is in contrast to the dominance by NO sub(x) and organic nitrates suggested by models. Over the North Atlantic, this difference is likely due to further photochemical processing of the NO sub(y) species within the FT and over the continent due to the different transport mechanism considered in the models.

The locations of observed differences in night-time light during this interval were examined for differences observed in a time-integrated vegetation index associated with net primary production. Just over 13% of the land area within the study region exhibited greater night-time light emitted in 2000 compared to 1992/1993. The locations of greater emitted light were found to have decreased values of the time-integrated vegetation index compared to locations that did not exhibit significant increases in emitted light. The observed decrease in the time-integrated vegetation index within the regions of greater emitted light is likely to be due to the change in land cover (increased urbanization) during this interval. The results suggest that the emitted light data were more useful for assessment of urban growth than the integrated vegetation index data.

Consequently, trends in water quality reflect loadings rather than accumulation of material. Long term trends can be observed in the sediments. Changes in the sedimentary environment have impacted benthos, including demersal eggs of fishes. Exchange between sediments and overlying waters impact dissolved oxygen and consequently the water chemistry. Trends in temperatures, water transparency, benthos and plankton are presented.

We used the latest global circulation model results (United Kingdom's Hadley Center and the Canadian Climate Centre) to consider a range of climate changes. We extracted model output changes between 1961--1990 and 2040--2069 and adjusted historical meteorology data accordingly. We simulated Great Lakes hydrology with extensive rainfall-runoff models and lake thermodynamics models to estimate net water supply scenarios for each lake under each climate scenario. The higher air temperatures under the changed-climate scenarios led to higher over-land evapotranspiration and lower runoff to the lakes with earlier runoff peaks since snow pack is reduced and the snow season is greatly reduced. This also resulted in a reduction in available soil moisture. Water temperatures increased and peaked earlier; heat resident in the deep lakes increased throughout the year. Mixing of the water column diminished, as most of the lakes became mostly monomictic, and lake evaporation increased. Ice formation was greatly reduced over winter on the deep Great Lakes, and lake evaporation increased; average net supplies dropped most where precipitation increases were modest.

While greenhouse warming itself is well-supported by both modeling and observational evidence, its effects on specific sectors at regional spatial scales are subject to much greater uncertainty. In the Great Lakes basin, two main methods of ascertaining effects on lake levels have been used, with contrasting results: 1) direct application of general circulation model (GCM) results to a basin hydrologic model, which has usually predicted a drop in net basin supplies and lake levels, and 2) dynamical downscaling using a regional climate model, which has predicted a rise. A root cause of these discrepancies is the difference in atmospheric moisture divergence, and how this is treated in these two methodologies. A key question is, in terms of secular trends in moisture divergence, can we expect the Great Lakes basin to behave more like a continent or an ocean? A methodology intermediate between these two will be introduced as well.

This study examined the hypothesis that the distribution of these compounds resulted from thermodynamic constraints on microbially mediated processes. The thermodynamic favorableness of a number of ecologically important redox reactions in these lakes was assessed using a simplified Nernst equation and mathematically modified Eh measurements. Our qualitative analysis revealed that the relative dominance of denitrification and nitrification as formation and loss processes for N2O was a complex pattern that was related to the redox conditions present. The results indicate that nitrification was initially the sole pathway for the formation of N2O with denitrification being thermodynamically unfavorable. As the redox conditions became less oxic, both denitrification and nitrification were possible. Once complete anoxia occurred, the importance of nitrification decreased considerably and the loss of N2O via denitrification became increasingly important. With respect to DMSO, the results indicated that DMSO was thermodynamically unfavorable as an electron acceptor for the respiration of organic material by bacteria in well-oxygenated environments, giving a partial explanation for the relatively elevated levels of DMSO found in many aquatic environments. Overall, the results of this study showed that subtle variations in the redox conditions present provided a plausible explanation for the unusual distributions of biogenic sulfur and nitrogen compounds observed in the lakes of the McMurdo Dry Valleys.

We present an automated algorithm for filling spatial and temporal gaps in the data set in order to provide continuous daily full-coverage maps of surface water temperature for all five lakes. The algorithm uses (in decreasing order of precedence) 1) linear interpolation in time, 2) spatial averaging, and 3) lakewide mean trend extrapolation, on a pixel-by-pixel basis to fill gaps. The resulting maps and lake-wide average statistics for 1994-2003 are presented as graphs and animations.

Conventionally practiced dechlorination with sulfite reduces the most refractory organic chloramines too slowly to produce wastewater effluents that meet current ecosystem protection criteria in the United States (i.e. total residual chlorine <=0.011 mg Cl sub(2)/L in freshwaters). Seeking faster dechlorinating agents, we have measured the rates that four test chloramines (NH sub(2)Cl, N-Cl-piperidine, N-Cl-leucylalanine and N-Cl-alanylalanine) react with 10 selected reducing agents at pH 7.4 and pH 8.4. The aqueous-phase reducing agents that offer speed advantages over sulfite alone include dithionite, thiosulfate, and iodide-mediated sulfite. Ascorbic acid was the most reactive of the sulfur-free agents but was found to be slow relative to sulfite. The potential biological oxygen demand might constrain the choice of aqueous reductants. Metallic iron is shown to reduce inorganic and organic chloramines effectively. The implications of these results for wastewater chlorine reduction and analysis are discussed.

Our goal in building the model was to construct a relatively simple ecosystem model that would respond to soil and climatic heterogeneity that allows us to study the impact of Amazonian deforestation, selective logging and accidental fire on the global carbon cycle. This paper focuses on the net flux caused by deforestation and forest re-growth over the period from 1970 to 1998. We calculate that the net flux to the atmosphere during this period reached a maximum of similar to 0.35 PgC yr super(-1) (1 PgC= 1 x 10 super(15) gC) in 1990, with a cumulative release of similar to 7 PgC from 1970 to 1998. The net flux is higher than predicted by an earlier study (Houghton et al., 2000) by a total of 1 PgC over the period 1989-1998 mainly because CARLUC predicts relatively high mature forest carbon storage compared with the datasets used in the earlier study. Incorporating the dynamics of litter and soil carbon pools into the model increases the cumulative net flux by similar to 1 PgC from 1970 to 1998, while different assumptions about land-cover dynamics only caused small changes. The uncertainty of the net flux, calculated with a Monte-Carlo approach, is roughly 35% of the mean value (1 SD).

By the oral route, the fish were most susceptibile to type E neurotoxin, which was lethal at a dose equivalent to 90 mouse intraperitoneal minimum lethal doses (MLDs). The oral lethal dose increased to 2000 MLD for nonproteolytic and proteolytic type F neurotoxins, but the toxin types A, B, and C sub(1) were not lethal to fish at 2000 MLD and type D was not lethal at 20 000 MLD (highest titre tested). The fish were not susceptible to 200 MLD (the highest titres tested) of type G neurotoxin or C sub(2) cytotoxin. By the i.p. route, all of the toxins except type G were lethal to coho salmon. Type E neurotoxin was the most toxic at a level of one-half the mouse MLD. Coho salmon held at temperatures ranging from 1 to 20 degree C were sensitive to type E neurotoxin by both the oral and i.p. routes. As the temperature decreased the fish became more resistant to type E neurotoxin by the oral route, but the i.p. dose remained one-half the mouse MLD at all temperatures.

We tested this hypothesis by constructing simulated streams for coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch to which we added 0, 1, and 4 carcasses/m super(2) (0, 0.71, and 2.85 kg wet mass/m super(2)) of pink salmon O. gorbuscha. After 60 d we evaluated the lipid class and fatty acid composition of rearing coho salmon from the simulated streams; the lipid content and triacylglycerols of the coho salmon increased with increasing carcass density whereas phospholipids decreased. Increased amounts of triacylglycerols accounted for most of the lipid increase. In addition to increasing in concentration, the fatty acid composition of the triacylglycerols also changed with carcass density. Triacylglycerols of juvenile coho salmon from the control streams had significantly higher omega- 3[hairsp]:[hairsp]omega-6 ratios as a result of fivefold and sixfold increases in the concentrations of eicosapentanoic and docosahexanoic fatty acids, respectively. These data demonstrate an immediate nutritional benefit resulting from the introduction of salmon carcasses in juvenile coho salmon rearing habitat and indicate the utility of fatty acid and lipid class analysis for examining the effects of marine-derived nutrients on juvenile salmonids.

Improved understanding of ice cover climatology is therefore needed for an improved understanding and forecasts of the winter lake ecosystem. The duration and extent of ice cover on the Great Lakes also has a major impact on the economy of the region by impeding and eventually stopping commercial navigation, interfering with hydropower production and cooling water intakes, and damaging shore structures. Assel (2003a) presents a climatology of Great Lakes ice cover for each Great Lake over the winters: 1973-2002 on a nominal spatial resolution of 2.5 km grid cells. The purpose of this report is to provide a different aspect of that climatology for Lake Erie, primarily, basin averages of ice concentration for the east, central, and west basins of that lake.

The trawl was fitted with a detection antenna in its cod end and was deployed by two vessels. Fish entering the trawl body exit after passing by the detection antenna. Detection data were recorded by electronic components housed in a small boat tethered to the trawl. The system was modified extensively after its first deployment in 1995 and by 2001 was performing reliably under a variety of weather conditions and river flows. From 1995 to 2001 the device detected 29,699 PIT- tagged juvenile salmon. During extended daily sampling periods, we detected nearly 2% of all PIT tags previously detected at Bonneville Dam, which is located 159 rkm upstream from the study area.

If smaller fish are more susceptible to capture stressors than larger fish, then the assumption that smaller discards would contribute to recruitment may not be true. We tested the hypothesis that small sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria show more behavioral impairment and mortality than large fish when exposed to air (10-60 min) at various temperatures (10- 18 degree C). Sablefish captured by trawl, longline, or trap are commonly exposed to these conditions during warmer seasons when brought up on deck and sorted. Two size-classes of fish (small: 32- 49 cm total length [TL]; large: 50-67 cm TL) were used in the experiments. Behavior was measured as upright orientation and startle responses to visual and mechanical stimuli 1, 2, 3, and 24 h after air exposure; mortality was measured through 7 d after air exposure. Small fish mortality increased as air time increased and was at higher levels than in large fish. Only 10 min of air exposure caused behavioral impairment in small and large fish, which could lead to increased predation on discarded fish. At 24 h after air exposure, normal behavior had not generally resumed and small fish had more behavioral impairment than large fish.

It also provides a preliminary understanding of divergent responses and plans under similar disaster warnings. It outlines stages that governments follow in determining their natural hazard mitigation and preparedness activities. This model should provide hazard planners, particularly those planning for slower onset hazards, with insights into their own local circumstances, allowing them to choose appropriate strategies.

Toxicity was evaluated by calculating the body residue of PCBZ associated with survival. The concentration of PCBZ in the tissues of H. azteca associated with 50% mortality decreased from 3 to 0.5 mu mol/g over the temporal range of 1 to 28 d, respectively. No significant difference was observed in the body residue calculated for 50% mortality when the value was determined using live or dead organisms. Metabolism of PCBZ was not responsible for the temporal response because no detectable PCBZ biotransformation occurred over an exposure period of 10 d. A damage assessment model was used to evaluate the impact and repair of damage by PCBZ on H. azteca. The toxicokinetics were determined so that the temporal toxicity data could be fit to a damage assessment model. The half-life calculated for the elimination of PCBZ averaged approximately 49 h, while the value determined for the half-life of damage repair from the damage assessment model was 33 h.

At most of the sites there is a multiyear record of observations. From locations in the western Pacific (Hong Kong; Taipei; Jeju Island, Korea; and Naha, Kagoshima, Tsukuba, and Sapporo, Japan), a site in the central Pacific (Hilo, Hawaii), and a site on the west coast of the United States (Trinidad Head, California) both a seasonal and event specific picture of tropospheric ozone over the North Pacific emerges. Ozone profiles over the North Pacific generally show a prominent spring maximum throughout the troposphere. This maximum is tied to the location of the jet stream and its influence on stratosphere-troposphere exchange and the increase in photochemical ozone production through the spring. Prominent layers of enhanced ozone in the middle and upper troposphere north of about 30 degree N seem to be more closely tied to stratospheric intrusions while biomass burning leads to layers of enhanced ozone in the lower and upper troposphere at Hong Kong (22 degree N) and Taipei (25 degree N). The lower free tropospheric layers at Hong Kong are associated with burning in SE Asia, but the upper layer may be associated with either equatorial Northern Hemisphere burning in Africa or SE Asian biomass burning. In the boundary layer at Taipei very high mixing ratios of ozone were observed that result from pollution transport from China in the spring and local urban pollution during the summer. At the ozonesonde site near Tokyo (Tsukuba, 36 degree N) very large enhancements of ozone are seen in the boundary layer in the summer that are characteristic of urban air pollution. At sites in the mid and eastern Pacific the signature of transport of polluted air from Asia is not readily identifiable from the ozonesonde profile. This is likely due to the more subtle signal and the fact that from the ozone profile and meteorological data by themselves it is difficult to identify such a signal. During the TRACE-P intensive campaign period (February-April 2001), tropospheric ozone amounts were generally typical of those seen in the long-term records of the stations with multiyear soundings. The exception was the upper troposphere over Hong Kong and Taipei where ozone amounts were lower in 2001. JF - Journal of Geophysical Research. D.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - AMENDMENT 2 TO THE MONKFISH FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF JANUARY 1999). AN - 36358657; 10748-040195_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the fishery management plan (FMP) for monkfish in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) along the north Atlantic coast from Labrador to Virginia and along the Outer Continental Shelf from Georges Bank to North Carolina is proposed. The monkfish (or goosefish) is a widely distributed benthic fish that is landed as a bycatch from groundfish and scallop fishing. Landings from bycatch and directed fishing have increased dramatically in recent years. The alternatives include possible changes to the way monkfish days at sea (DAS) must be used by vessels with a limited access permit in monkfish and either multispecies or scallop fisheries. Permit category C and D vessels (those with limited access scallop or multispecies permits) are currently required to use either a scallop or multispecies DAS when on a monkfish DAS. The governing authorities are considering an alternative that would provide those vessels the option to use their DAS separately. Within the separated DAS alternatives include a number of options on how to configure the DAS program (allocate individual or fleet DAS, allow DAS leasing or transferability, and implement as an area-based or annual declaration of a separated DAS program). Trawl gear configuration options are also considered. As for the impact of potentially increased effort on the rebuilding of the monkfish resource, the program estblished in Framework 2 in April of 2003 sets annual harvest targets and associated trip limits and DAS allocations based on the observed status of each stock relative to annual biomass rebuilding targets. Thus, if monkfish fishing effort were to increase to a level that jeopardized the rebuilding program, measures are already in place to adjust trip limits and/or allocated DAS. The amendment could also modify incidental catch limits for vessels in other fisheries. Another bycatch reduction component of the amendment would change or eliminate the monkfish minimum fish size regulation. The amendment would restore the offshore monkfish fishery displaced by the original FMP regulations that set trip limits and DAS usage requirements in such a way that some vessels could not profitably exploit the fishery; the new program would require an annual declaration and would allow participating vessels to fish at a higher trip limit than other monkfish vessels, on a proportionately reduced number of DAS. Some areas containing deep-sea corals would be closed to fishing. The limited access permit qualification criteria for vessels at the southern end of the range of the fishery that did not qualify under the original FMP would be modified; only a small number of vessels would be affected. A range of alternatives are considered to meet the goal of minimizing the effect of the fishery on essential fish habitat; these are largely limited to trawl gear configuration restrictions. A number of administrative measures would also be included in the amendment. Issues left out of the amendment include protection of sea turtles against interactions with gillnet gear off the North Carolina/Virginia coast and completion of a mandatory five-year review of the elements of the FMP pertaining to essential fish habitat requirements. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the amendment, monkfish would be protected from the effects of overfishing and overfished stocks would be rebuilt as necessary. In addition, the amendment would address problems created by the implementation of the FMP, promote improved data collection and research on monkfish, address deficiencies in meeting federal requirements, address interactions between protected resources and the fishery, and reduce FMP complexity where possible. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Limits on DAS, gear restrictions, and area closures could result in economic hardships for some fishing and processing interests, but these would not be significant in most cases. Continued use of certain gillnets would engender risk to federally protected sea turtle populations, and some damage to essential fish habitat would continue to occur.

AN - 16357399; 10748 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the fishery management plan (FMP) for monkfish in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) along the north Atlantic coast from Labrador to Virginia and along the Outer Continental Shelf from Georges Bank to North Carolina is proposed. The monkfish (or goosefish) is a widely distributed benthic fish that is landed as a bycatch from groundfish and scallop fishing. Landings from bycatch and directed fishing have increased dramatically in recent years. The alternatives include possible changes to the way monkfish days at sea (DAS) must be used by vessels with a limited access permit in monkfish and either multispecies or scallop fisheries. Permit category C and D vessels (those with limited access scallop or multispecies permits) are currently required to use either a scallop or multispecies DAS when on a monkfish DAS. The governing authorities are considering an alternative that would provide those vessels the option to use their DAS separately. Within the separated DAS alternatives include a number of options on how to configure the DAS program (allocate individual or fleet DAS, allow DAS leasing or transferability, and implement as an area-based or annual declaration of a separated DAS program). Trawl gear configuration options are also considered. As for the impact of potentially increased effort on the rebuilding of the monkfish resource, the program estblished in Framework 2 in April of 2003 sets annual harvest targets and associated trip limits and DAS allocations based on the observed status of each stock relative to annual biomass rebuilding targets. Thus, if monkfish fishing effort were to increase to a level that jeopardized the rebuilding program, measures are already in place to adjust trip limits and/or allocated DAS. The amendment could also modify incidental catch limits for vessels in other fisheries. Another bycatch reduction component of the amendment would change or eliminate the monkfish minimum fish size regulation. The amendment would restore the offshore monkfish fishery displaced by the original FMP regulations that set trip limits and DAS usage requirements in such a way that some vessels could not profitably exploit the fishery; the new program would require an annual declaration and would allow participating vessels to fish at a higher trip limit than other monkfish vessels, on a proportionately reduced number of DAS. Some areas containing deep-sea corals would be closed to fishing. The limited access permit qualification criteria for vessels at the southern end of the range of the fishery that did not qualify under the original FMP would be modified; only a small number of vessels would be affected. A range of alternatives are considered to meet the goal of minimizing the effect of the fishery on essential fish habitat; these are largely limited to trawl gear configuration restrictions. A number of administrative measures would also be included in the amendment. Issues left out of the amendment include protection of sea turtles against interactions with gillnet gear off the North Carolina/Virginia coast and completion of a mandatory five-year review of the elements of the FMP pertaining to essential fish habitat requirements. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Under the amendment, monkfish would be protected from the effects of overfishing and overfished stocks would be rebuilt as necessary. In addition, the amendment would address problems created by the implementation of the FMP, promote improved data collection and research on monkfish, address deficiencies in meeting federal requirements, address interactions between protected resources and the fishery, and reduce FMP complexity where possible. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Limits on DAS, gear restrictions, and area closures could result in economic hardships for some fishing and processing interests, but these would not be significant in most cases. Continued use of certain gillnets would engender risk to federally protected sea turtle populations, and some damage to essential fish habitat would continue to occur.

Preparation date: April 22, 2004 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Defects in cardiac function precede morphological abnormalities in fish embryos exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. AN - 71830763; 15081266 AB - Fish embryos exposed to complex mixtures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from petrogenic sources show a characteristic suite of abnormalities, including cardiac dysfunction, edema, spinal curvature, and reduction in the size of the jaw and other craniofacial structures. To elucidate the toxic mechanisms underlying these different defects, we exposed zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos to seven non-alkylated PAHs, including five two- to four-ring compounds that are abundant in crude oil and two compounds less abundant in oil but informative for structure-activity relationships. We also analyzed two PAH mixtures that approximate the composition of crude oil at different stages of weathering. Exposure to the three-ring PAHs dibenzothiophene and phenanthrene alone was sufficient to induce the characteristic suite of defects, as was genetic ablation of cardiac function using a cardiac troponin T antisense morpholino oligonucleotide. The primary etiology of defects induced by dibenzothiophene or phenanthrene appears to be direct effects on cardiac conduction, which have secondary consequences for late stages of cardiac morphogenesis, kidney development, neural tube structure, and formation of the craniofacial skeleton. The relative toxicity of the different mixtures was directly proportional to the amount of phenanthrene, or the dibenzothiophene-phenanthrene total in the mixture. Pyrene, a four-ring PAH, induced a different syndrome of anemia, peripheral vascular defects, and neuronal cell death, similar to the effects previously described for potent aryl hydrocarbon receptor ligands. Therefore, different PAH compounds have distinct and specific effects on fish at early life history stages.

In measurements at subtropical latitudes, minimum HCl values found in the upper troposphere (UT) were often near or below the detection limit of the measurements (0.005 parts per billion by volume), indicating that background HCl values are much lower than a global mean estimate. However, significant abundances of HCl were observed in many UT air parcels, as a result of stratosphere-to-troposphere transport events. We developed a method for diagnosing the amount of stratospheric ozone in these UT parcels using the compact linear correlation of HCl with ozone found throughout the lower stratosphere (LS). Expanded use of this method will lead to improved quantification of cross-tropopause transport events and validation of global chemical transport models.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - PUGET SOUND CHINOOK HARVEST RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, WASHINGTON. AN - 905874617; 10724-0_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of the 2004-2009 Puget Sound Chinook Harvest Resource Management Plan (RMP) is proposed to regulate the commercial, ceremonial, recreational, and subsistence salmon fisheries potentially affecting the federally protected Puget Sound Chinook Evolutionarily Significant Unit within the marine and freshwater areas of Puget Sound, Oregon and Washington. Fishery activities under the RMP would affected the listed Puget Sound Chinook and Hood Canal Summer-Run Chum Evolutionarily Significant Units. Key issues identified during scoping include those related to fish species, RMP economics, federal Native American treaty trust responsibilities, subsistence use, and wildlife habitat. Four alternatives, including an alternative that would prohibit the taking of the species of concern (Alternative 4), are considered in this draft EIS. Harvest objectives specified in the proposed RMP (Alternative 1) would account for fisheries-related mortality of Puget Sound Chinook through the migratory range of this species, which extends from Oregon and Washington to Southeast Alaska. The RMP would also include implementation, monitoring, and evaluation procedures designed to ensure fisheries are consistent with the RMP's objectives for conservation and use. The RMP would exclude Washington Commercial Salmon Management Catch Reporting Area 4B from May to September, when this area falls under the jurisdiction of the Pacific Fisheries Management Council. Salmon abundance is highly variable from year to year, both among Chinook populations and populations of other salmon species, requiring managers to formulate RMP measures that respond to the population abundance conditions particular to the year at hand. Therefore, the RMP does not include the specific details of the annual fishing regime with respect to the location of fisheries, harvest gear allowed to be used, or harvest allocation among gear types, areas, or individual fishery operators. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Among the alternatives considered, the proposed RMP alternative would provide the best means of balancing resource conservation, Native American trust obligations, promotion of sustainable fisheries, prevention of lost economic potential associated with overfishing, declining species, and degraded habitats. The preferred RMP would not appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery of the Chinook populations of concern. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Gear restrictions, area closures, and take quotas would limit access to the fishery, resulting in economic losses for some operators during particular fishing seasons; subsistence fishery users could be affected by these limitations, as could tribal ceremonial and traditional users. The use of certain gear types would continue to cause damage to fish habitat, possibly including essential fish habitat. LEGAL MANDATES: Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

AN - 36433513; 10718 AB - PURPOSE: The provision of shore protection for the shoreline surrounding Phipps Ocean Park within the town of Palm Beach, Florida is proposed. The study area suffers from critical erosion due to littoral drift attributable to Lake Worth Inlet and the adjacent armored shoreline and the existing headland features surrounding the area. Shoreline conditions and structures updrift of the project area exacerbate the erosion problem and, if remedial action is not taken, these conditions will lead to significant future erosion along the project area shoreline and the shoreline to the south. The recommended plan (Alternative 3) would include placement of approximately 1.5 million cubic yards of fill over approximately 1.9 miles of beach, between Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Monuments R-116 and R-126 and installation of 3.1 acres of hardbottom reef. Sand compatible with the existing beech would be obtained from two borrow areas located approximately 3,500 feet offshore between 1.5 and 2.6 miles south of the fill site. Fill would be transferred from the orrow areas by hydraulic dredge; construction by hopper dredge would not be allowed to avoid impacts to hardbottom biological communities in the vicinity of the borrow areas. Geotechnical analysis of the borrow area indicates that the material is suitable for he restoration of the beach and suitable for use by nesting sea turtles and subsequent hatching success. The borrow areas have been designed with buffer zones to avoid impacts to hardbottom communities in the vicinity of the areas. Mitigation of hardbottom communities within the fill area would be implemented. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1) and an alternative involving beach nourishment in combination with the placement of groin structures (Alternative 2). Estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $9.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The recommended plan would mitigate long-term erosion impacts along Lake Worth Inlet and the armored coastline north of the project area; provide and maintain storm protection to upland improvements in the area; restore and maintain the beach for public recreational use; and restore and maintain the beach for marine turtle nesting purposes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging from the borrow sites and deposition of dredged sand at the shoreline would result in destruction of benthic organisms and benthic habitat, though benthic habitat at the dredging sites would recover. Hardbottom habitat would be significantly disturbed. During deposition of sand along the shoreline, recreational uses of the beach would be marred significantly. Beach fill activities could impact sea turtle nesting and/or hatching success. Dredging would result in a temporarily increase in turbidity in the localized water column.

AN - 36356575; 10718-040163_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The provision of shore protection for the shoreline surrounding Phipps Ocean Park within the town of Palm Beach, Florida is proposed. The study area suffers from critical erosion due to littoral drift attributable to Lake Worth Inlet and the adjacent armored shoreline and the existing headland features surrounding the area. Shoreline conditions and structures updrift of the project area exacerbate the erosion problem and, if remedial action is not taken, these conditions will lead to significant future erosion along the project area shoreline and the shoreline to the south. The recommended plan (Alternative 3) would include placement of approximately 1.5 million cubic yards of fill over approximately 1.9 miles of beach, between Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Monuments R-116 and R-126 and installation of 3.1 acres of hardbottom reef. Sand compatible with the existing beech would be obtained from two borrow areas located approximately 3,500 feet offshore between 1.5 and 2.6 miles south of the fill site. Fill would be transferred from the orrow areas by hydraulic dredge; construction by hopper dredge would not be allowed to avoid impacts to hardbottom biological communities in the vicinity of the borrow areas. Geotechnical analysis of the borrow area indicates that the material is suitable for he restoration of the beach and suitable for use by nesting sea turtles and subsequent hatching success. The borrow areas have been designed with buffer zones to avoid impacts to hardbottom communities in the vicinity of the areas. Mitigation of hardbottom communities within the fill area would be implemented. In addition to the proposed action, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1) and an alternative involving beach nourishment in combination with the placement of groin structures (Alternative 2). Estimated cost of the preferred alternative is $9.3 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The recommended plan would mitigate long-term erosion impacts along Lake Worth Inlet and the armored coastline north of the project area; provide and maintain storm protection to upland improvements in the area; restore and maintain the beach for public recreational use; and restore and maintain the beach for marine turtle nesting purposes. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Dredging from the borrow sites and deposition of dredged sand at the shoreline would result in destruction of benthic organisms and benthic habitat, though benthic habitat at the dredging sites would recover. Hardbottom habitat would be significantly disturbed. During deposition of sand along the shoreline, recreational uses of the beach would be marred significantly. Beach fill activities could impact sea turtle nesting and/or hatching success. Dredging would result in a temporarily increase in turbidity in the localized water column.

At least seven species of Vibrio bacteria and other pathogens often infect shrimp during some stage of culture, having profound impacts on productivity. The research described herein was conducted to optimize dosing to allow effective disease control while minimizing environmental residues. Pharmacokinetics of oxytetracycline (OTC), a broad spectrum antibiotic were evaluated in the white shrimp, Litopenaeus setiferus, to characterize its disposition and to determine its potential for use in farm-raised shrimp for the treatment of Vibrio infections. Intravascular dosing and sampling techniques were developed, since this was the first pharmacokinetic study in shrimp using survival sampling. Pharmacokinetics of OTC were evaluated after single low and high bolus intravascular doses and hemolymph sampling. Tissue distribution was investigated after systemic administration, and protein binding was studied in hemolymph isolated from shrimp using ultrafiltration. The hemolymph and tissue levels of OTC were measured by HPLC and fitted to appropriate pharmacokinetic models to characterize the disposition of OTC in shrimp. Hemolymph OTC concentration-time profiles were well described by a biexponential equation indicative of two-compartment pharmacokinetics of OTC in shrimp. The half-lives of distribution and elimination were 2.05 plus or minus 0.48 and 22.27 plus or minus 7.45 h, respectively. Systemic clearance and steady-state volume of distribution were 78.04 plus or minus 24.33 ml/h/kg and 2304 plus or minus 280 ml/kg, respectively. OTC levels in tail muscle (% of total body burden) were significantly lower than in hemolymph, minimizing concerns of OTC residue in edible shrimp tissue after OTC treatment. Hemolymph protein binding of OTC was found to be low with almost 80% free OTC available systemically, supporting the high volume of distribution observed. Despite the simple anatomy, small size and short life span of shrimp, the disposition of OTC in shrimp after intravascular dosing showed pharmacokinetic characteristics indicative of extensive tissue distribution, such as a long elimination half-life and a high volume of distribution, with the low potential for OTC residues in tail muscle tissue. Our results suggest that shrimp given a therapeutic dose of OTC (i.e., sufficient to exceed the MIC) will have no detectable OTC levels in edible tissues 14 days following withdrawal. However, the salt form and formulation of OTC in feeds can impact dissolution, bioavailability, pharmacokinetics and, hence, tissue residues. Thus, withdrawal times should not be drug or agent specific but product and formulation specific. These results must be confirmed with oral dosing studies and bioavailability determinations that are underway in our laboratory.

AN - 36435509; 10713 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery management plan (FMP) is proposed to set strategic rebuilding parameters to guide stock rebuilding for bocaccio, cowcod, widow rockfish, and yelloweye rockfish. The fishery management plan would address fishing effort with respect to these species within the Exclusive Economic Zone off the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington. The Department of Commerce has declared nine fish species managed under the FMP to be overfished. Amendment 16-3, proposed here, would adopt rebuilding plans for four of the nine species in order to rebuild these stocks to a size capable of supporting maximum sustainable yield (MSY) or to a stock size less than this if such stock size results in long-term net benefit to the nation. This draft EIS evaluates alternatives offering various strategic rebuilding parameters covering harvest rate, the probability that each stock would rebuild in the maximum statutorily permitted time period, and the median, or most likely, year in which the stock would be rebuilt to its target biomass. A range of management measures, implemented through the biennial harvest specification process, would be used to constrain total fishing mortality within levels identified by these parameters. Five alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, are considered. Each alternative specifies strategic rebuilding parameters in terms of fishing mortality rate, the estimated probability of rebuilding a stock within a standard time period, and the target year for a fish stock to be completely rebuilt. Trip limits, catch quotas, area closures, season limits, and gear restrictions would be typical of the management measures adopted to control fishing effort. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed measures would assist in allowing the stocks of the four target species to be return to MSY levels or levels coming close enough to MSY to prevent any of the species from being classified as endangered under federal criteria. The economic viability of the fisheries would be maintained. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Some MSY recovery periods would be extremely protracted, placing the affected species at risk for significant population declines at times during the rebuilding period. Fishery closures and other restrictions would result in economic stress for some fishing communities. Damage to fishery habitat would depend on the intensity of fishing effort in local areas.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - FRAMEWORK ADJUSTMENT 4 TO THE ATLANTIC MACKEREL, SQUID, AND BUTTERFISH FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN. AN - 36352466; 10715-040160_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a framework adjustment to the fishery management plan (FMP) for Atlantic mackerel, squid, and butterfish is proposed to address the declining squid stock. Prior to the 1980s, the fishery for squid was exploited primarily by foreign operators. With the implementation of the FMP covering squid and the other two species and subsequent amendments to the FMP, the squid fishery has become fully Americanized. At the same time that the domestic fishery was undergoing development, new biological data became available that indicated that the squid species of interest is an annual species. This resulted in downwardly revised estimates of the sustainable yield for this fishery. The simultaneous growth of the domestic fishery and reduction in the estimated sustainable yield resulted in the squid fishery moving towards a fully capitalized and exploited state. As a result, a limited entry program became necessary and was implemented under Amendment 5 to the FMP. However, due to concerns that capacity might be insufficient to fully exploit the annual quota, a five-year sunset provision was placed on the squid moratorium when it was implemented under Amendment 5. The sunset provision for the moratorium on entry into the squid fishery, implemented in 1997, was set to expire in July 2002, but was extended for one year under Framework Adjustment 2. Framework Adjustment 3 further extended the moratorium until July 2004. The sole purpose of the framework adjustment proposed in this EIS process is to extend the moratorium on entry into the fishery while the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council) addresses this issue in Amendment 9 to the FMP. Three alternative framework adjustments, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 3), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 1) would extend the moratorium on entry to the squid fishery for an additional five years; this would represent the most restrictive approach to the fishery of those under all alternatives considered. POSITIVE IMPACTS: A five-year extension of the moratorium would provide the maximum protection to the Atlantic squid species, allowing ample time to rebuild the stock and providing the Council a sufficient period to examine the impact of the moratorium on the fishery. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: NONE. LEGAL MANDATES: Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).

Improved purification procedures completely removed bromide and led to a 20 degrees C to >100 degrees C increase in organic modified layered silicate thermal stability. Using mass spectrometry and thermal and electrochemical analysis, N,N-dimethyl-N,N-dioctadecyl quaternary ammonium-modified montmorillonite and fluorinated synthetic mica were found to degrade primarily through elimination and nucleophilic attack by these anions. The nature of residual bromides was identified and quantified, and the efficiency of removing these anions was found to be solvent dependent; sequential extraction, first ethanol then tetrahydrofuran, gave the best results.

These hydrophones (8-bit data resolution) are designed for long-term monitoring of MAR seismicity using the acoustic T waves of seafloor earthquakes. The completeness level of the MAR T-wave earthquake catalog estimated from size-frequency constraints is m (sub b) approximately 3.0, a significant improvement in detection compared to the m (sub b) 4.6 completeness level estimated from National Earthquake Information Center magnitude-frequency data. The hydrophones also detect the acoustic phase of converted upper mantle P arrivals from regional earthquakes at epicentral distances of 374-1771 km and from events as small as m (sub b) 3.6. These regional P waves are used to estimate a Pn velocity of 8.0 + or - 0.1 km sec (super -1) along the east and west MAR flanks. An unexpected result was the identification of P arrivals from earthquakes outside the Atlantic Ocean basin. The hydrophones detected P waves from global earthquakes with magnitudes of 5.8-8.3 at epicentral distances ranging from 29.6 degrees to 167.2 degrees . Examination of travel times suggests these teleseismic P waves constitute the suite of body-wave arrivals from direct mantle P to outer- and inner-core reflected/refracted phases. The amplitudes of the teleseismic P waves also exhibit the typical solid-earth wave field phenomena of a P shadow zone and caustic at Delta approximately 144 degrees . These instruments offer a long-term, relatively low-cost alternative to ocean-bottom seismometers that allows for observation of Pn velocities and mantle/core phases arriving at normally inaccessible deep-sea locations.

Here we present a new structural analysis of the plate based on full-plate bathymetric coverage, augmented by seismic reflection data and earthquake moment tensors and locations. We interpret internal deformation of the Gorda plate as an asymmetrical flexural-slip buckle with a vertical axis, utilizing reactivation of spreading-ridge fabric normal faults as strike-slip faults. Newly formed second-generation faults crosscutting the structural grain overprint the reactivated structures. The spreading fabric faults finally begin a second phase of extension as the plate approaches the subduction zone. This model, based on fault constraints, has allowed investigation of ridge-plate-subduction interactions, and suggests that spreading-rate variations along the Gorda Ridge may be controlled by internal deformation of the plate rather than the reverse, as previously hypothesized.

The effect of iron in the Southern Ocean is particularly important because of its large area and abundant nitrate, yet iron-enhanced growth of phytoplankton may be differentially expressed between waters with high silicic acid in the south and low silicic acid in the north, where diatom growth may be limited by both silicic acid and iron. Two mesoscale experiments, designed to investigate the effects of iron enrichment in regions with high and low concentrations of silicic acid, were performed in the Southern Ocean.

We collected data for a small (22.3X10 (super 6) soundings) survey in Valdez Narrows, Alaska, and monitored person-hours expended on processing for a traditional MBES processing stream and the proposed computer-assisted method operating on identical data. The analysis shows that the vast majority of time expended in a traditional processing stream is in subjective hand-editing of data, followed by line planning and quality control, and that the computer-assisted method is significantly faster than the traditional process through its elimination of human interaction time. The potential improvement in editing time is shown to be on the order of 25-37:1 over traditional methods.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - DESIGNATION OF DREDGED MATERIAL DISPOSAL SITES IN CENTRAL AND WESTERN LONG ISLAND SOUND, CONNECTICUT AND NEW YORK. AN - 36381325; 10710-040155_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The designation of one or more open-water dredged material disposal sites in western and central Long Island Sound, Connecticut and New York is proposed. If designed, one or more of these sites could be used for disposal of material dredged from navigation projects and other sources associated with Connecticut and New York rivers, harbors, and coastal areas if the resulting material was found to be suitable for open-water disposal. Currently, no disposal sites are designated for long-term use within Long Island Sound. The currently used sites are authorized for periods of time that will end at various times in the relatively near future. Initial screening eliminated open ocean, upland, beneficial use, and treatment technology alternatives. Through a site screening process that considered the five general and eleven specific criteria in the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 as well as evaluation factors specific to Long Island Sound, the four open-water sites were selected for detailed consideration in this final EIS, along with a No Action Alternative. Two of these sites are currently active dredged material disposal sites, while the other two are inactive historic dredged material disposal sites. The original site analysis encompassed the area of Long Island Sound between the confluence of the East River and the Harlem River at Hells Gate on the western end and Mulberry Point, Connecticut to Mattituck Point, New York on the eastern end. Subsequently the area was modified to encompass the western and central regions of the sound. The preferred alternatives would result in the use of two sites. The Western Long Island Sound site is a 1.2-by-1.3-nautical-mile rectangular area in the Western Long Island Sound that has been used for dredged material disposal since 1982. The site is located 2.7 nautical miles north of Lloyd Point, New York and 2.5 nautical miles south of Long Neck Point near Noroton, Connecticut in water depths of 79 to 118 feet. The Central Long Island Sound Alternative, which has been one of the most active dredged material disposal sites in New England, is a rectangular site, approximately two nautical moles by one nautical mile, located 5.6 nautical miles south of South End Point near East Haven, Connecticut in water depths ranging from 59 to 74 feet. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The availability of the sites would allow for periodic dredging and dredged material disposal to maintain the river, harbor, and coastal channels under federal jurisdiction, maintaining safe navigation and efficient movement of marine commerce. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Disposal operations would result in temporary increase in suspended solids in the water column in the vicinity of and down-current of the disposal site. The dumped material would bury non-motile benthic organisms. Bottom topographies at the sites would be altered.

For this purpose, this paper develops a method for estimating, from information on lethal and incapacitating exposures for rats, smoke toxic potency values for incapacitation of smoke-sensitive people. For those engineering applications where the mix of combustibles is unknown, generic values are derived of the concentration of smoke that would incapacitate smoke-sensitive people in 5 min: 6 g/m super(3) for a well-ventilated fire and 3 g/m super(3) for an underventilated (e.g., post-flashover) fire. These values are estimated with significant assumptions in their derivation, resulting in an estimated uncertainty of about a factor of two. Further, there is a wide range of smoke toxic potency values reported for various combustibles, and some of these will lead to values significantly higher or lower than these generic figures.

Because a large fraction of NO sub(2) reacts to form NO sub(3) and N sub(2)O sub(5) during the course of a night, their fate is an important determining factor to the overall fate of NO sub(x) (=NO and NO sub(2)). As a comprehensive test of nocturnal nitrogen oxide chemistry, concentrations of O sub(3), NO, NO sub(2), NO sub(3), N sub(2)O sub(5), HNO sub(3) and a host of other relevant compounds, aerosol abundance and composition, and meteorological conditions were measured in the marine boundary layer from the NOAA research vessel Ronald H. Brown off the East Coast of the United States as part of the New England Air Quality Study (NEAQS) during the summer of 2002. The results confirm the prominent role of NO sub(3) and N sub(2)O sub(5) in converting NO sub(x) to HNO sub(3) at night with an efficiency on par with daytime photochemical conversion. The findings demonstrate the large role of nighttime chemistry in determining the NO sub(x) budget and consequent production of ozone.

Concern exists about the ultimate fate of NP in aquatic ecosystems and the potential for bioaccumulation by benthic biota from the sediment with the potential for further transfer to higher trophic levels. Our goals were to determine if benthic amphipods bioaccumulate significant amounts of NP from sediment and to determine how additions of organic matter influence NP bioaccumulation by amphipods. Estuarine sediment was spiked with super(14)C-NP and enriched with two types of organic carbon (OC) sources of different nutritional qualities. Macrophytic algae (Ulva species) were used as a labile and nutritious OC source. Wood lignins were used as a refractory and low-nutrition OC source. Nonylphenol bioaccumulation was measured in Eohaustorius estuarius, Grandidierella japonica, and Corophium salmonis after 16 d of exposure. Nonylphenol accumulation was inversely proportional to OC quantity, but was unaffected by OC nutritional quality. Significant differences were found in the accumulation patterns between the three amphipod species. Mean biota-sediment accumulation factors ranged from 8.1 to 33.9 in E. estuarius, from 4.6 to 17.2 in G. japonica, and averaged 7.1 in male C. salmonis and 16.0 in female C. salmonis. These accumulation factors indicate that estuarine amphipods could constitute an important source of NP to higher trophic levels, such as juvenile fish.

The forecast system consists of a tripartite set of one-way coupled models that run routinely on a parallel microprocessor supercomputer. The component models are the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University (PSU)-NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5), the Sparse-Matrix Operator Kernel for Emissions (SMOKE) model, and the Multiscale Air Quality Simulation Platform-Real Time (MAQSIP-RT) photochemical model. Though the system has been run in real time since the summer of 1998, forecast results obtained during August of 2001 at 15-km grid spacing over New England and the northern mid-Atlantic-conducted as part of an 'early start' NOAA air quality forecasting initiative-are described in this article. The development and deployment of a real-time numerical air quality prediction (NAQP) system is technically challenging. MAQSIP-RT contains a full pho-tochemical oxidant gas-phase chemical mechanism together with transport, dry deposition, and sophisticated cloud treatment. To enable the NAQP system to run fast enough to meet operational forecast deadlines, significant work was devoted to data flow design and software engineering of the models and control codes. The result is a turnkey system now in use by a number of agencies concerned with operational ozone forecasting. Results of the chosen episode are compared against three other models/modeling techniques: a traditional statistical model used routinely in the metropolitan Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, area, a set of publicly issued forecasts in the northeastern United States, and the operational Canadian Hemispheric and Regional Ozone and NOx System (CHRONOS) model. For the test period it is shown that the NAQP system performs as well or better than all of these operational approaches. Implications for the impending development of an operational U.S. ozone forecasting capability are discussed in light of these results.

For most animals, lipid catabolism is the preferred source of energy to safeguard important protein sources. However, marine mammals also have a compounding pressure to conserve some lipid stores. The main site of lipid storage in these animals is the blubber layer, which is not only an important energy source during fasting, but is also the primary thermal barrier when at sea. To explain how the allocation of protein and lipid reserves during fasting are influenced by body condition (body mass and percentage lipid of total body mass), a dynamic state variable model that takes into account fitness consequences of different allocation strategies was developed. This model was parameterized with respect to conditions faced by weaned Northern Elephant Seal (Mirounga angustirostris Gill) pups. It incorporates the independent effects of body mass and protein mass (the two state variables) on survival and the costs of utilizing either lipid or protein during the postweaning fast. Predictions of lipid and protein allocation by the model were not significantly different from measurements on wild seals. Finally, the model showed that body lipid content and fasting duration both influence allocation of energy reserves.

Thermal imagers are finding increasing use in fire fighting applications, and the ubiquitous nature of fire sprinklers, water mist suppression systems, and water curtains for radiation attenuation necessitates a thorough understanding of the effect of water sprays and mists on thermal imager performance. Laboratory-scale and full-scale evaluations of thermal imager performance through water sprays have been conducted, and the results analyzed using Mie theory to predict the extinction of radiation by water drops. Imagers were found to perform satisfactorily even through water sprays produced by sprinkler nozzles with K-factors as large as 6.0x10 super(-4) m super(3) s super(-1) kPa super(-0.5) (25 gal min super(-1) psi super(-0.5)). Tests were conducted under non-fire conditions; thus, the effect of interaction between water sprays and a hot smoke layer on imager performance was not investigated.

Likewise the age at which 50% were mature (A sub(50)) was similar in the southeastern Bering Sea (9.7 years) and central Gulf of Alaska (8.7 years). The timing of female flathead sole spawning may also be similar between areas. Batch or serial spawning was indicated for flathead sole. Female flathead sole grew at a similar rate in both the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea. In contrast, males grew faster in the Bering Sea than in the Gulf of Alaska. Males grew more slowly than females in both areas after 5 years of age, and reached a smaller maximum L sub(T). The growth of both sexes was similar during 1993 and 1996 in the Gulf of Alaska.

The potential intensity (PI) of tropical cyclones can be calculated from thermodynamic principles, given the state of the sea surface and atmosphere, and has been shown in earlier studies to give a reasonable estimate of maximum intensity for observed storms. The PI calculated using radiosonde data at 14 tropical island locations shows only small, statistically insignificant trends from 1980 to 1995 and from 1975 to 1995. In the mid-1990s PI at most of these stations does not show the strong increase that appears in global and regional PI calculated from reanalysis data. Comparison with results derived from reanalysis data suggests that previous adjustments to the reanalysis-derived PI may overstate PI after 1980 in some regions in comparison with that before 1980. Both reanalysis and radiosonde PI show similar interannual variability in most regions, much of which appears to be related to ENSO and other changes in SST. Between 1975 and 1980, however, while SSTs rose, PI decreased, illustrating the hazards of predicting changes in hurricane intensity from projected SST changes alone.

Levels of radiocarbon in Pacific halibut otoliths pre-1958 were among the lowest reported to date, but radiocarbon levels increased dramatically post-1960. Subsequently, this reference chronology was used to validate ages determined using the standard break and burn and surface ageing technique. These older fish were collected at a later date but were born during this period of rapidly increasing radiocarbon levels. Otolith cores were compared to the reference chronology based upon the presumed birth year determined from annulus counts and year of capture. The ages derived from both break and burn and surface ageing methods were determined to be accurate.

NLDAS consists of (1) four land models executing in parallel in uncoupled mode, (2) common hourly surface forcing, and (3) common streamflow routing: all using a 1/8 degree grid over the continental United States. The initiative is largely sponsored by the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Continental-Scale International Project (GCIP). As the overview for nine NLDAS papers, this paper describes and evaluates the 3-year NLDAS execution of 1 October 1996 to 30 September 1999, a period rich in observations for validation. The validation emphasizes (1) the land states, fluxes, and input forcing of four land models, (2) the application of new GCIP-sponsored products, and (3) a multiscale approach. The validation includes (1) mesoscale observing networks of land surface forcing, fluxes, and states, (2) regional snowpack measurements, (3) daily streamflow measurements, and (4) satellite-based retrievals of snow cover, land surface skin temperature (LST), and surface insolation. The results show substantial intermodel differences in surface evaporation and runoff (especially over nonsparse vegetation), soil moisture storage, snowpack, and LST. Owing to surprisingly large intermodel differences in aerodynamic conductance, intermodel differences in midday summer LST were unlike those expected from the intermodel differences in Bowen ratio. Last, anticipating future assimilation of LST, an NLDAS effort unique to this overview paper assesses geostationary-satellite-derived LST, determines the latter to be of good quality, and applies the latter to validate modeled LST.

Whole cell vaccines of either a nonpathogenic Arthrobacter spp. or an attenuated Renibacterium salmoninarum strain provided limited prophylactic protection against acute intraperitoneal challenge with virulent R. salmoninarum, and the addition of either synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides or purified R. salmoninarum genomic DNA as adjuvants did not increase protection. However, a combination of both whole cell vaccines significantly increased survival among fish naturally infected with R. salmoninarum, and the surviving fish treated with the combination vaccine exhibited reduced levels of bacterial antigens in the kidney. This is the first demonstration of a potential therapeutic effect of a whole cell vaccine against BKD.

This paper critically reviews those apparatus and sorts them by the combustion conditions (related to a type of fire) producing the smoke, the specimens tested, and the animal effect measured. All the usable data were derived using rats, and the toxicological effects encountered were lethality, represented by an LC sub(50)value, and incapacitation, expressed as an IC sub(50) value. The data showed a wide range of toxic potency values for the products and materials tested. For those engineering applications where the mix of combustibles is unknown, generic values of smoke toxic potency were derived. Statistical analysis of the wealth of published data yielded a generic LC sub(50)value of 30 g/m super(3) plus or minus 20 g/m super(3) (one standard deviation) for 30 minute exposure of rats for smoke from well-ventilated combustion. There are limited data for underventilated combustion, and a value of 15 g/m super(3) plus or minus 5 g /m super(3) is suggested. The mean value of the ratios of IC sub(50) values to LC sub(50)values is 0.50 plus or minus 0.21, consistent with a prior review. Thus, for well-ventilated fires, a generic 30 minute IC sub(50) value (for rats) would be 15 g/m super(3) plus or minus 10 g/m super(3); for underventilated fires, the corresponding number would be 7 g/m super(3) plus or minus 2 g/m super(3). There are some materials with appreciably lower potency values, indicating higher smoke toxicity. If materials like these are expected to comprise a large fraction of the fuel load, a lower generic value should be used.

Phase 3. Evaluation of fire hazard analysis using full-scale passenger rail car tests AN - 17868037; 6249309 AB - Fire safety is an area of particular interest for both conventional intercity and commuter passenger trains, and new high-speed trains. A systems approach to fire safety addresses passenger rail car design and materials, detection and suppression, passenger and train crew evacuation, and their interactions. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is sponsoring a multiphase research program directed at providing the scientific basis for using a systems approach to evaluate the level of passenger train fire safety already achieved through the current prescriptive material requirements. Previously published interim reports document the research program results to date. Phase I focused on the evaluation of passenger rail car interior furnishing materials using data from existing FRA-cited small-scale test methods and from an alternative test method using the cone calorimeter (ASTM International E-1354). In Phase II, full-scale tests were conducted of selected interior material component assemblies using a larger scale furniture calorimeter; fire hazard analyses were then conducted for three types of intercity passenger rail cars, using data from both types of tests. This Phase III interim report compares the results of Phases I and II of the research program, with a series of full-scale fire tests conducted in an Amtrak coach rail car. The goal of Phase III was to evaluate the extent that the results of the small- and full-scale tests and fire hazard analyses using the Consolidated Model of Fire and Smoke Transport (CFAST) computer model are predictive of actual passenger rail car material burning behavior.

Oxygen consumption ( mu l O sub(2)/larva/h) scaled isometrically with body mass for larvae <5.8 mm L sub(S) (phase I, slope = 1.04) and allometrically thereafter (phase II, slope = 0.78). The inflection in the mass-metabolism relationship coincided with the formation of the hypural plate and an increase in the relative tail size of larvae. Salinity did not have a significant effect on routine metabolism during phase I. Temperature and salinity significantly affected routine metabolism during phase II of the mass-metabolism relationship. The effect of salinity was temperature dependent, and was significant only at 30 degree C. Response surfaces describing the environmental influences on routine metabolism were developed to provide a bioenergetic basis for modeling environmental constraints on growth.

Experiments comparing the efficiency and habitat impacts of three alternative gears for harvesting oysters revealed differences among gear types that might be used to help improve the sustainability of commercial oyster fisheries. Hand harvesting by divers produced 25-32% more oysters per unit of time of fishing than traditional dredging and tonging, although the dive operation required two fishermen, rather than one. Per capita returns for dive operations may nonetheless be competitive with returns for other gears even in the short term if one person culling on deck can serve two or three divers. Dredging reduced the height of reef habitat by 34%, significantly more than the 23% reduction caused by tonging, both of which were greater than the 6% reduction induced by diver hand-harvesting. Thus, conservation of the essential habitat and sustainability of the subtidal oyster fishery can be enhanced by switching to diver hand-harvesting. Management schemes must intervene to drive the change in harvest methods because fishermen will face relatively high costs in making the switch and will not necessarily realize the long-term ecological benefits.

The simulation is conducted in a two-way, nested grid with a resolution of 45 km for the coarse domain and 15 km for the fine domain and only the fine domain that covers the core region of the North American monsoon is analyzed. Comparisons with the conventional gauge-based observations show that the coupled model successfully simulates the strength, position, and orientation of the monthly mean heavy rainbelt along the western slopes of Sierra Madre Occidental. In addition, the spatial pattern and phasing of the diurnal cycle of precipitation in this region agrees fairly well with the satellite observations from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM).

The high resolution and precision of the aircraft measurements allow the ozone distribution to be examined on a wide range of spatial scales. Probability distribution functions (pdfs) of ozone, temperature, and wind speed are calculated in a coordinate system centered on the maximum jet wind speeds. There are significant differences in the pdfs near the jet maximum in winter versus spring seasons. The largest gradients in the ozone pdfs are seen at the location of the jet maximum in winter, whereas during spring the largest gradients are most often poleward of the jet by up to several thousand kilometers. These seasonal differences do not appear to be directly related to the strength of the jet on the basis of the limited geographical sampling of the airborne platforms.

The possible role of ocean climate change in the Gulf of Alaska in reorganizing community structure was examined. Cod diets in 1980 and 1995 (right after such a climate shift) showed a large change from pelagic prey to benthic prey over time. In the 1980s, pandalid shrimp and capelin were the main food for cod, while polychaetes, several crab species, and eelpouts were the dominant food in 1995. Temperatures in the Gulf of Alaska became warmer over that time period.

Despite dramatically lower reported bycatch since technological innovations were introduced, dolphin stocks still are not growing at expected rates. To test whether unreported calf mortality may be occurring, a new method of estimating the number of missing calves (i.e. mothers killed without their calves, or "calf deficit") was developed based on a tally of mothers killed, frequency tables, and a weaning model. When applied to pantropical spotted dolphin calves in all tuna purse-seine sets from 1973-90 and 1996-2000 in this region, this method showed a decrease in the calf deficit. Over the study period, about 75%-95% of the lactating females killed did not have a calf. However, assuming the orphaned calves did not survive, the calf deficit represents about a 14% increase in the reported calf kill. The total number of missing calves may be underestimated. More research also is needed on mechanisms of mother-calf separation to understand the potential for permanent separation due to fishery interference without mothers being killed and the likelihood of calf survival without their mothers.

Conch harvesting in Florida has been banned since 1985 but populations have not recovered to levels that could support exploitation. The feasibility of translocating nearshore queen conch adults (which tended to have poor gonadal condition) to offshore sites to augment spawning aggregations and aid in recovery in this region was studied. Changes in reproductive behavior and gonadal development in translocated individuals were monitored. The gonadal condition of nearshore conch improved after translocation so that these animals began spawning three months after being moved. Some component of the nearshore habitat inhibits reproduction, but removal to offshore sites can restore reproductive viability. Translocations are more cost-effective, improve reproductive output faster, and maintain genetic integrity of wild stocks better than releasing hatchery-reared juveniles.

Several known omnivorous and benthivorous fishes were evaluated as possible samplers of the benthic community on the scale of the US northeast continental shelf ecosystem, collected from the early 1970s to 2001. Frequency of occurrence of organisms in the diet across time was examined as an index of relative abundance. Other prey and sampling caveats were accounted for by considering only those predators that met criteria such as adequate sample size, appropriate diet compositions, asymptotic stomach-prey curves, and relative constancy of all major prey groups comprising the diet. The geographic distribution of a suite of benthic organisms found in the stomachs of predators was also examined. The benthic organisms focused on were ophiuroids, echinoids, holothuroideans, asteroids, octopods, stomatopods, cumaceans, pagurids, aphroditids, anthozoans, hydrozoans and caprellids. Of these 12 prey groups, only 3 showed a decline over time based on evidence from multiple predator stomachs. Most benthic organisms exhibited non-negative trends in an index of relative abundance, and 2 showed an increase over the time-series. Additionally, many of the organisms were widely distributed, with some concentrated more on Georges Bank and others more in the Gulf of Maine. Only 1 of 9 organisms showed a shift in distribution compared to studies from 50 yr earlier. I conclude that at broad spatial and temporal scales, the routine and systematic sampling of fish stomachs can be a useful indirect method for inferring information about benthic communities on continental shelves.

AN - 36361963; 10674-040121_0024 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the pelagic fisheries of the western Pacific region, The plan would cover pelagic fisheries within the territorial waters of American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and several western Pacific islands and atolls that are U.S. possessions under direct federal jurisdiction. More specifically, the fisheries falling within the scope of the plan would include the longline fisheries in Hawaii and American Samoa, commercial troll fisheries in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam and the CNMI, and the commercial pole-and-line skipjack fishery in Hawaii. This final supplement to the final EIS of March 2001 addresses means of achieving optimum yields from the affected fisheries without jeopardizing the continued existence of sea turtles or other federally protected species. The range of alternative under consideration includes time /area closures as well as implementation of a limited model shallow-set swordfishery using circle hooks with mackerel bait which, in combination, have been found to reduce interactions with leatherback and loggerhead turtles by 67 percent and 92 percent, respectively, in U.S. Atlantic fishery. In addition, this supplement considers conservation actions to improve sea turtle recruitment and, thereby, offset any potential harm the operation of the fisheries could continue to pose to sea turtles. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 7), are considered in this supplement. The preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would allow 2,120 model swordfish sets annually, in conjunction with tuna fishing with no time/area closures. Other stipulations would cover Hawaii-based longline vessels to adhere to limitations on fishing effort, area closures, reporting and notification requirements, and fishing gear requirements. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The management plan would help ensure the sustainability of the fishery, reduce gear conflicts, and protect non-fishery species, including threatened species, particularly sea turtles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Gear restrictions and area closures would result in economic hardships for some vessel operators and their employees.

[Part 17 of 27] T2 - MANAGEMENT MEASURES TO IMPLEMENT NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE WESTERN PACIFIC PELAGIC LONGLINE FISHERIES DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 2001). AN - 36356986; 10674-040121_0017 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the pelagic fisheries of the western Pacific region, The plan would cover pelagic fisheries within the territorial waters of American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and several western Pacific islands and atolls that are U.S. possessions under direct federal jurisdiction. More specifically, the fisheries falling within the scope of the plan would include the longline fisheries in Hawaii and American Samoa, commercial troll fisheries in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam and the CNMI, and the commercial pole-and-line skipjack fishery in Hawaii. This final supplement to the final EIS of March 2001 addresses means of achieving optimum yields from the affected fisheries without jeopardizing the continued existence of sea turtles or other federally protected species. The range of alternative under consideration includes time /area closures as well as implementation of a limited model shallow-set swordfishery using circle hooks with mackerel bait which, in combination, have been found to reduce interactions with leatherback and loggerhead turtles by 67 percent and 92 percent, respectively, in U.S. Atlantic fishery. In addition, this supplement considers conservation actions to improve sea turtle recruitment and, thereby, offset any potential harm the operation of the fisheries could continue to pose to sea turtles. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 7), are considered in this supplement. The preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would allow 2,120 model swordfish sets annually, in conjunction with tuna fishing with no time/area closures. Other stipulations would cover Hawaii-based longline vessels to adhere to limitations on fishing effort, area closures, reporting and notification requirements, and fishing gear requirements. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The management plan would help ensure the sustainability of the fishery, reduce gear conflicts, and protect non-fishery species, including threatened species, particularly sea turtles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Gear restrictions and area closures would result in economic hardships for some vessel operators and their employees. LEGAL MANDATES: Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) and Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996.

[Part 26 of 27] T2 - MANAGEMENT MEASURES TO IMPLEMENT NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE WESTERN PACIFIC PELAGIC LONGLINE FISHERIES DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 2001). AN - 36354059; 10674-040121_0026 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the pelagic fisheries of the western Pacific region, The plan would cover pelagic fisheries within the territorial waters of American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and several western Pacific islands and atolls that are U.S. possessions under direct federal jurisdiction. More specifically, the fisheries falling within the scope of the plan would include the longline fisheries in Hawaii and American Samoa, commercial troll fisheries in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam and the CNMI, and the commercial pole-and-line skipjack fishery in Hawaii. This final supplement to the final EIS of March 2001 addresses means of achieving optimum yields from the affected fisheries without jeopardizing the continued existence of sea turtles or other federally protected species. The range of alternative under consideration includes time /area closures as well as implementation of a limited model shallow-set swordfishery using circle hooks with mackerel bait which, in combination, have been found to reduce interactions with leatherback and loggerhead turtles by 67 percent and 92 percent, respectively, in U.S. Atlantic fishery. In addition, this supplement considers conservation actions to improve sea turtle recruitment and, thereby, offset any potential harm the operation of the fisheries could continue to pose to sea turtles. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 7), are considered in this supplement. The preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would allow 2,120 model swordfish sets annually, in conjunction with tuna fishing with no time/area closures. Other stipulations would cover Hawaii-based longline vessels to adhere to limitations on fishing effort, area closures, reporting and notification requirements, and fishing gear requirements. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The management plan would help ensure the sustainability of the fishery, reduce gear conflicts, and protect non-fishery species, including threatened species, particularly sea turtles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Gear restrictions and area closures would result in economic hardships for some vessel operators and their employees. LEGAL MANDATES: Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) and Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996.

[Part 11 of 27] T2 - MANAGEMENT MEASURES TO IMPLEMENT NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE WESTERN PACIFIC PELAGIC LONGLINE FISHERIES DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 2001). AN - 36351521; 10674-040121_0011 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the pelagic fisheries of the western Pacific region, The plan would cover pelagic fisheries within the territorial waters of American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and several western Pacific islands and atolls that are U.S. possessions under direct federal jurisdiction. More specifically, the fisheries falling within the scope of the plan would include the longline fisheries in Hawaii and American Samoa, commercial troll fisheries in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam and the CNMI, and the commercial pole-and-line skipjack fishery in Hawaii. This final supplement to the final EIS of March 2001 addresses means of achieving optimum yields from the affected fisheries without jeopardizing the continued existence of sea turtles or other federally protected species. The range of alternative under consideration includes time /area closures as well as implementation of a limited model shallow-set swordfishery using circle hooks with mackerel bait which, in combination, have been found to reduce interactions with leatherback and loggerhead turtles by 67 percent and 92 percent, respectively, in U.S. Atlantic fishery. In addition, this supplement considers conservation actions to improve sea turtle recruitment and, thereby, offset any potential harm the operation of the fisheries could continue to pose to sea turtles. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 7), are considered in this supplement. The preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would allow 2,120 model swordfish sets annually, in conjunction with tuna fishing with no time/area closures. Other stipulations would cover Hawaii-based longline vessels to adhere to limitations on fishing effort, area closures, reporting and notification requirements, and fishing gear requirements. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The management plan would help ensure the sustainability of the fishery, reduce gear conflicts, and protect non-fishery species, including threatened species, particularly sea turtles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Gear restrictions and area closures would result in economic hardships for some vessel operators and their employees. LEGAL MANDATES: Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) and Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996.

[Part 20 of 27] T2 - MANAGEMENT MEASURES TO IMPLEMENT NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE WESTERN PACIFIC PELAGIC LONGLINE FISHERIES DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT OF MARCH 2001). AN - 36350423; 10674-040121_0020 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the pelagic fisheries of the western Pacific region, The plan would cover pelagic fisheries within the territorial waters of American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and several western Pacific islands and atolls that are U.S. possessions under direct federal jurisdiction. More specifically, the fisheries falling within the scope of the plan would include the longline fisheries in Hawaii and American Samoa, commercial troll fisheries in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam and the CNMI, and the commercial pole-and-line skipjack fishery in Hawaii. This final supplement to the final EIS of March 2001 addresses means of achieving optimum yields from the affected fisheries without jeopardizing the continued existence of sea turtles or other federally protected species. The range of alternative under consideration includes time /area closures as well as implementation of a limited model shallow-set swordfishery using circle hooks with mackerel bait which, in combination, have been found to reduce interactions with leatherback and loggerhead turtles by 67 percent and 92 percent, respectively, in U.S. Atlantic fishery. In addition, this supplement considers conservation actions to improve sea turtle recruitment and, thereby, offset any potential harm the operation of the fisheries could continue to pose to sea turtles. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 7), are considered in this supplement. The preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would allow 2,120 model swordfish sets annually, in conjunction with tuna fishing with no time/area closures. Other stipulations would cover Hawaii-based longline vessels to adhere to limitations on fishing effort, area closures, reporting and notification requirements, and fishing gear requirements. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The management plan would help ensure the sustainability of the fishery, reduce gear conflicts, and protect non-fishery species, including threatened species, particularly sea turtles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Gear restrictions and area closures would result in economic hardships for some vessel operators and their employees. LEGAL MANDATES: Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) and Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996.

The current FMP was adopted in 1989 and updated in 1998. The new FMP would rationalize the fisheries by creating a market in the fishery through the allotment of shares to participants.

Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would maintain the current FMP, are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2), known as the Three-Pie Alternative, would implement a complex rationalization program that would include elements to manage several identifiable groups that depend on the fisheries. Allocations of harvest shares would be provided to harvesters, communities, and captains. Processors would be allocated processing shares. Designated regional would be allocated certain percentages of the crab landings and processing activities to preserve their historic interests in the fisheries.

Alternative 3 would establish an individual fishing quota program. The primary difference between the individual quota alternative and the preferred alternative would be the absence of processor shares in the former alternative. Alternative 4 would establish a cooperative program for harvesters in the fisheries. The primary difference between the cooperative alternative and the preferred alternative would be that processors would not receive processor shares but would instead be licensed and receive the benefit of harvest delivery requirements arising out of processor associations with cooperatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The plan would help stem the overly competitive fishing that has depleted the fisheries, while providing for a balanced distribution of benefits and improving fisheries management and resource conservation. As a result, the allocation of labor and capital between fishing and other industries would maximize the net value of production. The program would remove individual incentives to overinvest in labor and capital to secure or maintain a share of the catch. Efficient operators would be encouraged, while marginal operators would likely be removed. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Any action alternative would result in a reduction in the size of the fleet related to the fisheries, resulting in economic hardships for some interested fishery parties. The fisheries could be disbursed more widely than existing fisheries, resulting in some additional fishing effort for some operators. The processor protections of the voluntary cooperative aspect of the preferred alternative and the cooperative alternative could limit processor consolidation.

Fishery management plans stress the need for an ecosystem approach, but few quantitative studies on the foraging ecology of sharks have been published. Stomach contents and catch data of early life stages of Atlantic sharpnose Rhizoprionodon terraenovae, blacktip Carcharhinus limbatus, finetooth Carcharhinus isodon, and spinner sharks Carcharhinus brevipinna taken from fishery independent surveys in Apalachicola Bay, Florida, USA, were examined to test for overlap in resource use. Young-of-the-year Atlantic sharpnose sharks were found to feed mainly on shrimp, juveniles on sciaenids, and adults on clupeids. Young-of-the-year blacktip sharks were found to feed mainly on sciaenids, whereas juveniles fed on clupeids. The primary prey of young-of-the-year and juvenile finetooth and spinner sharks was clupeids. Eight of 10 prey size-selectivity tests showed neutral selection. Compared to relative prey sizes published for teleost piscivores, Atlantic sharpnose and finetooth sharks consume relatively small-sized prey while blacktip sharks consume relatively large prey. Regardless of maturity state and species, diet overlap was high for species-life stage combinations that are similar in size; however, species-life stages did not show significant habitat overlap. Prey categories shared by similar-sized species may not be limiting, although shark species may have alleviated competition pressure by partitioning the resource of time or space.

Recent evidence indicates that some juvenile flatfishes associate with emergent structures such as sponge, shell and other biogenic and bed-form features of otherwise low-relief shelf habitats. In laboratory experiments we examined the habitat preference and effects of habitat structure upon predation vulnerability of sub-yearling (Age-0) Pacific halibut Hippoglossus stenolepis and northern rock sole Lepidopsetta polyxystra. When given the choice between bare sand or sand with 16% sponge coverage, halibut demonstrated strong preference for sponge, while rock sole showed no preference. Larger Age-2 halibut (used as predators in the subsequent experiment) also preferred sponge, but this preference declined with increasing hunger. When allowed to forage for Age-0 flatfishes in either bare sand or sponge, predators consumed more prey in sand and consumed more Age-0 halibut than rock sole. We were able to determine which behavioral processes in the predator-prey interaction were modified by the presence of habitat structure. Predator-prey encounter rates decreased in the sponge habitat as predator search was impeded: predators paused more frequently and swam more slowly to maneuver through the sponges. Sponges also tended to hinder the pursuit of prey. Rock sole utilized stereotypic flatfish defense-mechanisms, relying upon immobility, burial and crypsis, and were less likely to flush at a predator's approach than halibut. Halibut have a less developed ability to mimic sediments, but a deeper/narrower body that confers greater swimming speed, and were more likely to flush as a predator approached. Once they had flushed and were pursued by a predator, halibut were more likely to escape than were rock sole. These experiments support an accumulating body of evidence that emergent structure, in otherwise low-relief benthic habitats, may play an important role in the ecology of some juvenile flatfishes. Removal of emergent structure by towed fishing gear and other anthropogenic and/or natural disturbance may influence patterns of distribution for juvenile halibut, as fish redistribute to less preferred habitat, and may decrease survival rates through increased losses to predation.

The presence and patterns of diel vertical migration (DVM) in this species, as well as its hydrographic habitat, were inferred from these data. Juveniles exhibited twilight vertical migration with residence in the upper water column at night, whereas adults had a reverse vertical migration pattern with residence in surface water during the day. The hydrographic distribution of A. omata is primarily limited to the colder waters of coastal and shelf regions, with very few copepods present in warmer water influenced by the Gulf Stream. Given the hydrographic structure of Onslow Bay during the winter months, undergoing any DVM pattern could aid in retaining this species inshore.

AN - 20749305; 7394938 AB - Ancient lakes are often collectively viewed as evolutionary hot spots of diversification. East Africa's Lake Tanganyika has long been the subject of scientific interest owing to dramatic levels of endemism in species as diverse as cichlid fishes, paludomid gastropods, decapod and ostracod crustaceans and poriferans. It is the largest and deepest of the African rift lakes, and its endemic fauna has been presented with a stable inland environment for over 10 Myr, offering unique opportunities for within-lake diversification. Although astonishing diversification has been documented in the endemic cichlid fauna of the lake, similar patterns of rapid diversification have long been assumed for other groups. In contrast to this hypothesis of rapid speciation, we show here that there has been no acceleration in the rate of speciation in the thalassoid gastropods of the lake following lake colonization. While limited within-lake speciation has occurred, the dramatic conchological diversity of gastropods presently found within the lake has evolved from at least four major lineages that pre-date its formation by as much as 40 Myr. At the same time, a widespread group of African gastropods appears to have evolved from taxa presently found in the lake. While Lake Tanganyika has been a cradle of speciation for cichlid fishes, it has also been an important evolutionary reservoir of gastropod lineages that have been extirpated outside the basin.

AN - 71862936; 14749913 AB - Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners and components of the complex mixture toxaphene are stable in the environment and readily bioaccumulated into wildlife and human tissues. PBDEs are presently used in large quantities worldwide as flame retardants in textiles, furniture, computer equipment, and cables. Toxaphene is a complex mixture of chlorinated bornanes and bornenes that was the most heavily used pesticide in the United States until it was banned in 1982; however, some countries continue to use toxaphene. The National Institute of Standards and Technology has quantified PBDE congeners and toxaphene in several available Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) using methods of gas chromatography with electron impact mass spectrometry (GC-EI-MS) and GC negative chemical ionization (NCI) MS, respectively. SRM 1588a Organics in Cod Liver Oil and SRM 1945 Organics in Whale Blubber were examined for PBDE congeners 47, 99, 100, 153, and 154, total toxaphene, and toxaphene congeners 26, 50, and 62. SRM 1946 Lake Superior Fish Tissue was also examined for total toxaphene and toxaphene congeners. The sum of the PBDE congeners (mean, (1 SD) wet basis) for SRM 1945 was 150 ng g(-1) (7 ng g(-1)). The concentration of PBDE 47 in SRM 1588a was 82.7 ng g(-1) (2.8 ng g(-1)). Other PBDEs were detected in SRM 1588a but were not quantified due their low levels. The total toxaphene (wet mass basis) was 1,210 ng g(-1) (127 ng g(-1)), 1,960 ng g(-1) (133 ng g(-1)), and 3,980 ng g(-1) (248 ng g(-1)) in SRMs 1945, 1946, and 1588a, respectively. The values for PBDEs and toxaphene determined in the SRMs, while not certified, indicate that the SRMs will be suitable control materials for PBDE and toxaphene analyses.

AN - 71861066; 14745475 AB - Two new marine sediment standard reference materials (SRMs), SRM 1941b Organics in Marine Sediment and SRM 1944 New York/New Jersey Waterway Sediment, have been recently issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the determination of organic contaminants including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners, and chlorinated pesticides. Both sediment SRMs were analyzed using multiple analytical methods including gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) on columns with different selectivity, reversed-phase liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (for PAHs only), and GC with electron capture detection (for PCBs and pesticides only). SRM 1941b has certified concentrations for 24 PAHs, 29 PCB congeners, and 7 pesticides, and SRM 1944 has certified concentrations for 24 PAHs, 29 PCB congeners, and 4 pesticides. Reference concentrations are also provided for an additional 58 (SRM 1941b) and 39 (SRM 1944) PAHs, PCB congeners, and pesticides. SRM 1944, which was collected from multiple sites within New York/New Jersey coastal waterways, has contaminant concentrations that are generally a factor of 10-20 greater than SRM 1941b, which was collected in the Baltimore (Maryland) harbor. These two SRMs represent the most extensively characterized marine sediment certified reference materials available for the determination of organic contaminants.

AN - 71784776; 15046330 AB - Concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in eggs of common and thick-billed murres (Uria aalge and U. lomvia) from five Alaskan nesting colonies were dominated by 4,4'-DDE, total polychlorinated biphenyls (totalPCBs; 46 congeners comprised mainly of PCB congeners 153, 118, 138, 99, and 151), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), beta-hexachlorocyclohexane (beta-HCH), and chlordane compounds (totalCHL). Concentrations of 4,4'-DDE, cis-nonachlor, and heptachlor epoxide were lower than those reported for some of the same colonies in the 1970s, while HCB concentrations were similar. In general, significantly higher concentrations were found in eggs from Gulf of Alaska colonies compared to those from Bering Sea colonies except for HCB (higher in the Bering Sea) and beta-HCH (no significant difference between the two regions). Thick-billed murre eggs contained higher concentrations of 4,4'-DDE and totalPCBs, whereas common murre eggs had higher HCB concentrations. Possible factors contributing to the POPs patterns found in eggs from these murre colonies are discussed.

At this plate boundary the North America (NOAM) plate subducts obliquely under the Caribbean plate. The bathymetry data and the associated backscatter images were combined with single-beam and Lidar bathymetry data, seismic profiles, earthquake focal mechanisms, GPS measurements, the gravity field, and kinematic and static stress models to investigate the origin of the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean and the seismic and tsunamogenic hazards that it poses to Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and the Virgin Islands. Landslides' scarps and large normal faults on the NOAM plate, an unusually deep forearc (7500 m), and a northward tilted carbonate platform north of Puerto Rico attest to the vertical collapse of the trench area. The collapse of the trench and the uplift that created the island of Puerto Rico are attributed to tearing of the descending NOAM slab under the northeast edge of the Caribbean. A continuous strike-slip fault system was mapped 10-15 km south of the trench and parallel to it. This fault accommodates the large lateral component of relative plate motion. The location of the fault close to the trench and far from the islands is compatible with GPS and earthquake data and indicates reduced seismic hazard to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands from earthquakes in the subduction zone and on strike slip faults in the forearc, but heightened hazard to the Dominican Republic. Large retrograde submarine slide scarps and cracks were imaged along the edge of the carbonate platform 35-45 km north of Puerto Rico. They indicate that submarine slides continue to be active and may generate tsunamis along the north shore of Puerto Rico.

Samples from a shallow Antarctic ice core (Siple Dome, West Antarctica), ranging in mean gas dates from 1671 to 1942, had a mean CH3Br mixing ratio of 5.8 ppt. These results extend the existing historical record derived from air and Antarctic firn air to about 350 years before present. Model simulations illustrate that the ice core results are consistent with estimates of the impact of anthropogenic activity on the atmospheric CH3Br burden, given the large current uncertainties in the modern atmospheric CH3Br budget. There is a significant imbalance between the known CH3Br sources and sinks in the modern atmospheric CH3Br budget. (modif. j. abstr.)

[Part 2 of 2] T2 - GENERIC ESSENTIAL FISH HABITAT AMENDMENT FOR THE U.S. CARIBBEAN: SPINY LOBSTER FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN, QUEEN CONCH FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN, REEF FISH FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN, AND CORAL FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN. AN - 36358963; 11259-040182_0002 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the fishery management plans (FMPs) for Caribbean stocks of spiny lobster, queen conch, reef fish, and coral fish is proposed to address concerns regarding essential fish habitat (EFH) within the fisheries. U.S. interests within the affected jurisdiction include Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John are also within the affected jurisdiction. In 1999, a coalition of environmental groups undertook litigation to challenge approval of the FMP EFH amendments prepared by the Caribbean Fishery Management Council and other fishery management councils. The court found that the EFH amendments were in accordance with statutory requirements, but also held that the associated environmental assessments on the amendments were in violation of the National Environmental Policy Act. The National Marine Fisheries Service entered into a joint stipulation with the plaintiff environmental organizations that called for each affected fishery management council to complete an EIS. This final EIS considers alternatives with respect to EFH, habitat areas of particular concern (HAPC), and means of preventing, mitigating, or minimizing adverse effects of fishing on EFH. EFH areas and HAPCs for affected species are identified geographically. Alternatives addressing adverse impacts of fishing within EFH include modifications to anchoring and pot and trap gear, closure of areas to pots and traps, usage of gill/trammel nets, and usage of bottom longlines for recreational and commercial fishing gear. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amendments would allow appropriate access to the fishery resources while minimizing to the extent practicable the adverse impacts of fishing on EFH. Gear limitations would particularly benefit coral reef protection, which would, in turn, reduce the impacts of storm surges on areas protected by reefs. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Area closures and gear restrictions would affect the economic status of some commercial interests, including commercial providers of recreational fishing access, and would more generally impede recreational access to the affected fisheries.

Preparation date: March, 2004 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The Atmospheric Response to Realistic Arctic Sea Ice Anomalies in an AGCM during Winter AN - 20985476; 5853224 AB - The influence of realistic Arctic sea ice anomalies on the atmosphere during winter is investigated with version 3.6 of the Community Climate Model (CCM3.6). Model experiments are performed for the winters with the most (1982/83) and least (1995/96) Arctic ice coverage during 1979-99, when ice concentration estimates were available from satellites. The experiments consist of 50-member ensembles: using large ensembles proved critical to distinguish the signal from noise. The local response to ice anomalies over the subpolar seas of both the Atlantic and Pacific is robust and generally shallow with large upward surface heat fluxes (>100 W m-2), near-surface warming, enhanced precipitation, and below-normal sea level pressure where sea ice receded, and the reverse where the ice expanded. The large-scale response to reduced (enhanced) ice extent to the east (west) of Greenland during 1982 /83 resembles the negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation/North Atlantic Oscillation (AO/NAO) with a ridge over the poles and a trough at midlatitudes. The large-scale response was distinctly different in the Pacific, where ice extent anomalies in the Sea of Okhotsk generate a wave train that extends downstream over North America but the wave train response is greatly diminished when the model is driven by ice concentration rather than ice extent anomalies. Comparing the AGCM response to observations suggests that the feedback of the ice upon the atmospheric circulation is positive (negative) in the Pacific (Atlantic) sector. The magnitude of the wintertime response to ice extent anomalies is modest, on the order of 20 m at 500 mb. However, the 500-mb height anomalies roughly double in strength over much of the Arctic when forced by ice concentration anomalies. Furthermore, the NAO-like response increases linearly with the aerial extent of the Atlantic ice anomalies and thus could be quite large if the ice edge retreats as a result of global warming.

As part of the continuous renewal and replacement efforts, a set of new marine sediments has been recently developed covering organic and inorganic determinations. This paper describes the steps taken in sample preparation, homogeneity assay, and analytical characterization and certification with specific emphasis on SRM 2702 inorganics in marine sediment. Neutron activation analysis showed the SRM to be highly homogeneous, opening the possibility for use with solid sampling techniques. The certificate provides certified mass fraction values for 25 elements, reference values for eight elements, and information values for 11 elements, covering most of the priority pollutants with small uncertainties of only several percent relative. The values were obtained by combining results from different laboratories and techniques using a Bayesian statistical model. An intercomparison carried out in field laboratories with the material before certification illustrates a high commutability of this SRM.

This study determined that transversely sectioned otoliths were the most appropriate structure to age spot, and subsequently used those ages to estimate biological parameters and evaluate the potential for growth overfishing. Because spot are short-lived, this study explored estimating population parameters using both whole annulus counts and fractional ages. Although fractional ages may be more realistic, parameters estimated using fractions of a year should be interpreted with caution. Growth of spot was rapid (84% of length attained in the first year), the natural mortality rate was high (59% year super(-1)), and the total mortality rate (natural + fishing) was very high (80-94% year super(-1)). Spot maximised cohort biomass early in life ( similar to 1 year) and were relatively impervious to growth overfishing. This study illustrates the difficulty in providing management advice for species that maximise cohort biomass about the same time as their first potential spawning event. This study also documents that high exploitation rates and size selective fishing gear probably affect estimates of population parameters.

NMFS has several strong mandates for fish and protected species bycatch reduction, including the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Despite efforts to address bycatch during the 1990's, NMFS was petitioned in 2002 to count, cap, and control bycatch. The NBS initiated as part of NMFS's response to the petition for rulemaking contained six components: 1) assess bycatch progress, 2) develop an approach to standardized bycatch reporting methodology, 3) develop bycatch implementation plans, 4) undertake education and outreach, 5) develop new international approaches to bycatch, and 6) identify new funding requirements. The definition of bycatch for the purposes of the NBS proved to be a contentious issue for NMFS, but steady progress is being made by the agency and its partners to minimize bycatch to the extent practicable.

While the ESA specifies that the decision to list be based solely on biological criteria, it also requires that recovery plans for listed stocks reflect some consideration of economic effects. Specifically, the ESA states that "The Secretary [of Commerce, in the case of salmonid stocks], in developing and implementing recovery plans, shall, to the maximum extent practicable ... incorporate in each plan ... estimates of the time required and the cost to carry out those measures needed to achieve the plan's goal and to achieve immediate steps toward that goal" (ESA Section 4.(f)(1)). While habitat restoration is an important aspect of recovery planning, information on restoration costs is very limited. To help address this information gap, the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission organized a Salmon Habitat Restoration Cost Workshop, which was convened on November 14-16, 2000 in Gladstone, Oregon. The goal of the workshop was to evaluate the feasibility of developing and applying standardized methodologies to estimate salmon habitat restoration costs.

We analyzed a data set of more than 54,000 juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) from 15 populations over five years. The juveniles were tagged during the summer in their freshwater rearing habitats and then recaptured at downstream sites the following spring after an extended rearing and overwintering period. We measured the length and weight of fish at tagging and computed a "condition index" that determined how fat or thin a fish was relative to others. Among populations, mean length and mean condition index were poor predictors of survival, but we did detect year and site effects. Within populations, survival was strongly related to the relative length of individuals but not to relative condition index. Our results are consistent with length-related mechanisms of mortality mediated by hierarchical behavior, and thus merely measuring changes in mean values of morphological traits in populations of juveniles may provide little insight into expected changes in population viability. Expanding upon these results, we predicted a nearly 60% increase in selection for juvenile fish length when we extended our observation period through adulthood. Thus, monitoring populations through only a portion of their life history may present an incomplete picture of their survival variability.

Without such an initial assessment, the future effects of the reserve on the local habitat and biotic community cannot be quantified and will remain the subject of debate. This study provides such a baseline assessment of fish diversity and habitat types within a recently enlarged marine reserve. Buck Island Reef National Monument, US Virgin Islands, was recently enlarged from approximately 4 km super(2) to over 76 km super(2). Areas of sand, seagrass, and hard- bottom under protection were increased from 0.29 km super(2), 0.47 km super(2), and 1.96 km super(2) to 2.70 km super(2), 2.89 km super(2), and 18.30 km super(2) respectively when the Monument was expanded. A 53 km super(2) area of pelagic/deep-water habitat with unknown bottom type is now also protected by the Monument. Visual counts of fish within 25×4 m super(2) transects conducted during the day were used to assess fish community structure and habitat utilization patterns. Species richness, diversity, assemblage structure, and fish density were evaluated and compared among sand, seagrass, and hard-bottom habitats. Hard-bottom sites had over twice the mean species richness and diversity as sand and seagrass sites, and several times greater mean fish density. Quantification of the fish community in pelagic and deep-water habitats within the reserve is recommended to provide a more comprehensive assessment of the offshore areas of the reserve. Fish numbers, size, and diversity outside the reserve boundaries must also be evaluated to allow quantification of the effects of the marine reserve on the adjacent fish communities.

ACP was hybridized with tetraethoxysilane or zirconyl chloride and surface-treated with 3-methacryloxypropoxytrimethoxy silane (MPTMS) or zirconyl dimethacrylate (ZrDMA). Composites fabricated with unmodified ACP (u-ACP), hybrid or surface- modified ACP filler and photo-activated Bis-GMA, TEGDMA and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) (BTH resin), Bis-GMA, TEGDMA, HEMA and MPTMS (BTHS resin) or Bis-GMA, TEGDMA, HEMA and ZrDMA (BTHZ resin) were tested for their remineralizing potential and biaxial flexure strength (BFS). Ion releases from all composites were significantly above the minimum necessary for reprecipitation of apatite. The BFS of unfilled polymers was not adversely affected by immersion in saline solutions. The BFS of BTH and BTHS composites deteriorated upon soaking. However, BTHZ composites were practically unaffected by exposure to saline solutions. Filler hybridization resulted in a modest, but significant, improvement in the BFS (up to 24%) of BTHZ composites. Heterogeneous distribution of the ACP on disk surfaces was detected by the FTIR microspectroscopy analyses. This might have been caused by uncontrolled aggregation of ACP particles that appeared to hinder interfacial filler/resin interactions and diminish the mechanical strength of composites.

Variations in crystallinity lead to changes in surface roughness on nanometer length scales, and it is shown that cells are exquisitely sensitive to these changes. Gradients of polymer crystallinity were fabricated on films of poly(L-lactic acid) using a gradient in annealing temperature. The resultant morphologies were characterized using an atomic force microscope. Root-mean-square (rms) roughness values ranging from 0.5 to 13 nm were created on a single sample. MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells were cultured for 1, 3 and 5 d, and the number of cells was measured using automated fluorescence microscopy. It is shown that the rate of proliferation on the smooth regions of the films is much greater than that on the rough regions, and a monotonic variation in rate is observed as a function of roughness. The critical rms roughness, above which a statistically significant reduction in rate of proliferation occurs, was approximately 1.1 nm. Fluorescence microscopy measurements on immunostained cells indicate there is no significant change in cell area, the number or type of adhesions formed, or the degree of actin polymerization. Results from enzyme-linked immunofluorescence assays indicated that there was no detectable change in adhesion protein accessibility, suggesting the cells directly respond to substrate topography. The use of the gradient library approach yielded the functional dependence of cell proliferation on nanometer-scale roughness and gave a sensitive estimate of the critical roughness for which a decrease in proliferation is observed.

Therefore, CPC is promising for use in craniofacial and orthopaedic repairs. However, the low strength and lack of macroporosity of CPC limit its use. The aim of the present study was to increase the strength and toughness of CPC while creating macropores suitable for cell infiltration and bone ingrowth, and to investigate the effects of chitosan and mesh reinforcement on the composite properties. Specimens were self-hardened in 3 mmx4 mmx25 mm molds, immersed in a physiological solution for 1-84 d, and tested in three-point flexure. After 1 d, the unreinforced CPC control had a flexural strength (mean+/-s.d.; n=6) of (3.3+/-0.4) MPa. The incorporation of chitosan or mesh into CPC increased the strength to (11.9+/-0.8) and (21.3+/-2.7) MPa, respectively. The incorporation of both chitosan and mesh synergistically into CPC dramatically increased the strength to (43.2+/-4.1) MPa. The work-of-fracture (WOF) (toughness) was also increased by two orders of magnitude. After 84 d immersion in a simulated physiological solution, the meshes in CPC dissolved and formed interconnected cylindrical macropores. The novel CPC scaffold had a flexural strength 39% higher, and WOF 256% higher than the conventional CPC without macropores. The new composite had an elastic modulus within the range for cortical bone and cancellous bone, and a flexural strength higher than those for cancellous bone and sintered porous hydroxyapatite implants. In conclusion, combining two different reinforcing agents together in self-hardening CPC resulted in superior synergistic strengthening compared to the traditional use of a single reinforcing agent. The strong and macroprous CPC scaffold may be useful in stress-bearing craniofacial and orthopaedic repairs.

Based on species-presence in our surveys, we found endemism to be equal (20.6% using all available data) for fishes in the NWHI and the Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI; 20.9%). On average, percentage endemism was much higher based on the biomass (37%) and numerical densities (52%) of endemics, increased with latitude, and was especially pronounced at the 4 northernmost reefs that are the most ancient emergent geological features of the archipelago. Endemic reef fishes were appreciably smaller bodied than non-endemics within the NWHI. Median body size did not vary with latitude and longitude for either endemics or nonendemics, negating environmental effects. Reef fish populations at higher latitude reefs included larger proportions of young-of-year (YOY) recruits. YOY length frequencies did not differ for most species between northern and southern reefs, suggesting that a seasonal lag in spawning and recruitment at higher latitudes cannot explain the greater YOY densities observed there. Disproportionate recruitment at higher-latitude reefs may be related to better growth and survivors hip after settlement onto reefs, higher levels of within-reef and regional reseeding at higher latitudes, or other factors. Resolution of these issues will be difficult, but it is profoundly important to the future siting of no-take Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) within the NWHI Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve and to the rational conservation and management of reef fish resources throughout the Hawaiian Archipelago.

Therefore, we have developed a simple, but spatially explicit relationship between the geometry of a disturbance and the recovery rate in the context of natural resource damage assessment. Here, grounding of motor vessels in shoalgrass (Halodule wrightii), manatee grass (Syringodium filiforme), and turtlegrass (Thalassia testudinum) habitats results in a variety of injury shapes whose recovery must be evaluated to assign penalties and restoration costs to the party responsible. We developed two spatially explicit, cellular automata modelling techniques to evaluate injury recovery trajectory. Techniques in both SAS super([reg.]) and ArcINFO super([reg.]) were developed and applied to injuries of varying perimeter but fixed area. The SAS method utilized either a simple Boolean or probabalistic interrogation of the status of adjacent pixels using the matrix language component of the software. ArcINFO utilized a cost/distance module to evaluate proximity of unfilled to filled (colonized) pixels and then applied a decision rule that governed conversion from unfilled to a filled state. As expected, the greater the perimeter/area ratio, the faster the recovery; and modelling approaches yielded almost identical results. A case study involving ~1200 m super(2) of almost monotypic T. testudinum revealed that both models predicted that 100% recovery of above-ground components of the injury would not occur for approximately 60 years. This model is now being used routinely in the assessment of vessel groundings in seagrass beds within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and has been used successfully by the Government to prevail in US Federal Court challenges. Both methods have substantial, untapped capabilities to explore the effect of numerous ecological effects on the processes influencing recovery from disturbance.

Using Bayesian methods, we conducted a risk assessment on a harvested beluga population off West Greenland. The population size in recent years was estimated to be 22% of the size in 1954. Results indicate that current catches are unsustainable and that continuation of this situation represents a 90% probability that the population will become extinct in 20 years. The analyses suggest that the harvest should be reduced to no more than 130 animals. Constant catch quotas represent a greater risk of depletion compared with catch limits that are a function of harvest rate and population size. An alternative gradual reduction schedule is proposed as a viable strategy, reducing the harvest in 5 years and adjusting the subsequent quota using a harvest rate of 0.5 of R sub(max), with updates in the abundance. This analysis is presented as an alternative for cases where an immediate catch reduction is desirable but not feasible for marine mammal populations that appear vulnerable or in danger and where catch and abundance data are available.

Consequently, experimental restoration of nine contaminated beds was attempted in 1994; mussels were removed, contaminated surface sediment was replaced (33 metric tons), and original mussels were returned. Hydrocarbon concentrations and mussel populations were monitored for 5 years thereafter. Post-restoration mussel population fluctuations were indistinguishable from regional changes. Increased short-term oil loss was apparent, but long-term (5 year) improvement was equivocal and difficult to distinguish from natural losses. By 1999, oil concentrations in mussels were typically at baseline levels in restored and oiled reference beds; concentrations in replaced sediment were elevated in one third of restored beds, indicating recontamination from underlying or surrounding sediment. These results suggest mussel relocation is feasible but suggest oil might more effectively be removed from sediment mechanically or chemically than manually.

Spotted dolphins began to take solid food at approximately 6 mo of age, or 115 cm, but continued to suckle until they were nearly 2 yr old. Calves tended to feed more frequently on squid as they got older, which suggested there was a shift in diet during weaning. The average age and total body length at weaning was estimated to be 0.8 yr (approximately 9 mo) and 122 cm. The oldest suckling calf was almost 2 yr old, which suggests that some calves continued to suckle for more than a year after they could have been weaned. A better understanding of the weaning process, especially quantifying the period of time when calves are nutritionally dependent on their mothers may lead to a better evaluation of their potential vulnerability to the disturbance caused by the yellowfin tuna purse-seine fishery.

Discrete-depth plankton collections were taken at night, early morning after daylight, and at mid-day or early afternoon at 1, 5, and 11-16 m. No consistent pattern among cruises was evident in the vertical stratification of Atlantic croaker larvae found in mid-day and afternoon collections, but at night the highest abundances were observed at the deepest depths sampled. Atlantic croaker larvae were least abundant in surface waters (1 m) at night. Of the 66,913 Atlantic croaker larvae collected, only 346 specimens (< 1%) were found in 1 m collections at night, and 266 of these larvae were from a single collection of large specimens (mean = 6.7 mm). By morning the vertical distribution of larvae suggested that Atlantic croaker had moved up in the water column, and highest abundances were usually found at 5 m. There was no indication that patterns of larval distribution reflected hydrographic stratification within the water column, prey availability, size of larvae, or moonlight intensity.

Two digital, large-format cameras continuously downloaded images to two laptop computers together with information on position, altitude, pitch, and roll of the aircraft. In 2001 a total of 11,628 images were obtained corresponding to a swept area of 840 km super(2).

In 2002 the area was surveyed seven times and approximately 11,402 images were obtained. This corresponded to a swept area of 2,208 km super(2) with 566 narwhals counted on the images, and an average estimated abundance of 562 narwhals (CV = 0.24) at the surface. Correcting these figures for availability bias (assuming narwhals are submerged deeper than 2 m for 62% of the time) results in abundance estimates of 2,297 (95% CI: 1,472-3,122) in August 2001 and 1,478 (95% CI 1,164-1,793) in August 2002. The uncorrected estimates, when compared to the results of visual line- transect surveys conducted in 1985 and 1986 (Born et al. 1994), show a 10% decline in recent years in the abundance of whales visible at the surface.

Growth rates of early juveniles (initial size 36-50 mm total length, L sub(T)) were manipulated using two temperatures (10 and 20 degree C) and two rations (ad libitum and 3-4% body mass/day). Fish L sub(T), mass and lipid content were measured every 3 weeks for 15 weeks. Irrespective of treatment, the relationship of total lipid content with body size was clearly hyperallometric; small juveniles allocated relatively more energy to growth and less to lipid storage than large juveniles. After adjusting for the influence of body size, temperature and ration significantly influenced body composition but these effects varied over the course of the experiment. In the first 3 week time period, fish on the high ration, high temperature treatment had reduced lipid storage relative to other treatments, but in all subsequent time periods their lipid concentrations were similar to or higher than those of fish on other treatments. In contrast, fish held at low rations and low temperatures initially had average levels of lipid concentration, but after 6 weeks their levels were lower than other treatments. Estimation of allocation to lipid storage over time (proportion of dry mass increase comprised of lipid) suggested that fish in all of the treatments were approaching an asymptotic level of lipid concentration (c. 50-60% of dry mass) but with different rates of lipid increase. Within a treatment, it was predicted that individual differences in allocation would result in trade-offs between somatic growth and storage. This trade-off was evident only for fish held on low rations at low temperatures. In contrast, fish held on high rations at high temperatures exhibited the opposite pattern of a positive correlation between somatic growth and storage. These results suggest that lipostatic regulation of appetite is unlikely in juvenile sablefish. When resources are unlimited, this species appears to adopt a maximizing strategy for both somatic growth and lipid accumulation.

AN - 18041635; 5971555 AB - Compared to the harem and resource defense systems of terrestrial mating pinnipeds, males of aquatic mating species appear unable to monopolize females or resources. We investigated movements, acoustics, and aquatic territorial behavior of male harbor seals, Phoca vitulina richardii, in Elkhorn Slough, California, using VHF telemetry, hydrophones, and acoustic playback experiments. During the mating season 22 males increased time spent in the water and away from haul-out locations, exhibiting activity patterns similar to Atlantic subspecies. Two acoustic display patterns were observed. At one location multiple males aggregated to display with acoustic activity peaking one month before peak estrus. At two other locations, lone males displayed primarily during peak estrus. Acoustic display areas were non-adjacent with a mean +/- SE size of 4,228 +/- 576 m super(2), similar to harbor seal display patterns in the Moray Firth, Scotland. Underwater playbacks of male vocalizations were used to define territorial boundaries by inducing responses from territory-holding males. Four solitary males defended adjacent territories (mean area 39,571 +/- 18,818 m super(2)) along a travel corridor, similar to observations of harbor seals at Miquelon, Newfoundland. Acoustic display stations appeared to be subcomponents of larger territories. Males exhibited site fidelity to territories for at least 2-4 yr. Females moved through territories freely. The establishment of male-display territories along female-traffic corridors resembles terrestrial systems described as hotspot leks.

However, an increasing number of sightings and births have recently occurred in the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI), where no systematic surveys of monk seals were conducted prior to 2000. We estimate that there were at least 45 seals in the MHI in 2000 and at least 52 in 2001, based on aerial surveys of all MHI coastlines, supplemented by sightings of seals from the ground. Moreover, annual births in the MHI have evidently increased since the mid-1990s. Weaned pups in the MHI are longer and have greater girth than those in the NWHI, perhaps reflecting greater per-capita abundance of prey resources. We think that Hawaiian monk seals have recently re- colonized the MHI, which were a very likely part of their historic range. Regardless, the MHI habitat appears to be favorable for continued increases of this endangered species.

Images of these forecasts, at daily to seasonal time scales, are provided on the ECPC World Wide Web site (http://ecpc.ucsd.edu/, ) and digital forecast products are provided on the ECPC anonymous ftp site to interested collaborators. The forecast skill of the GSM for the first two years was previously described in several papers. The purpose of this paper is to further compare two additional years of GSM and the RSM precipitation forecasts over the US, with special attention to various biases and errors, as well as the significant forecast skill at weekly to seasonal time scales. While these experimental forecast results suggest that there is precipitation forecast skill, out to at least a season, to be realized from both global and regional dynamical models, it was disappointing that the RSM did not seem to provide markedly more skillful precipitation forecasts than the GSM. Excessive forecast variance is a major problem with the current RSM.

In the vertical water column of lakes with high solar ultraviolet radiation (UV) and invertebrate predators, zooplankton face two particularly strong and conflicting selective pressures. During daylight hours invertebrate predators often induce an upward vertical migration of zooplankton prey while potentially damaging UV forces a downward migration. We used 2.2 m long columns suspended vertically in a lake to conduct 2 x 2 factorial experiments to examine patterns of depth selection behavior by zooplankton in the presence and absence of both the invertebrate predatorChaoborus and UV. We hypothesized thatChaoborus and UV both affect the distribution of zooplankton and a combination of both factors would lead to a narrowing of depth distribution. We found that whenChaoborus were present zooplankton tended to be distributed at shallower depths in the columns, while in the presence of UV they exhibited a deeper distribution.Chaoborus themselves were always found near the bottom of the columns regardless of the UV treatment. Simultaneous exposure to predators and UV resulted in a peak of zooplankton (especiallyDaphnia catawba) distribution at intermediate depths. In a significant number of cases, depth range was narrowed in response toChaoborus, UV, or both.

Forty-one allozyme loci (29 polymorphic) were analyzed in samples from three Pacific hake spawning populations on the west coast of North America: (1) Port Susan, Puget Sound, Washington (three temporal samples); (2) south-central Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, Canada (two temporal samples); and (3) offshore of southern California (two temporal samples) (total n = 664). Mean heterozygosity over all loci was 12-13% for all populations. Within-population temporal samples were not significantly different from one another, but statistically significant differences were detected at 15 of the 29 polymorphic loci (p < 0.05) among the three populations. Differences at eight of these loci were highly significant (p < 0.001): ADA super(*), ALAT super(*), bGALA super(*), GPI-A super(*), sIDHP super(*), LDH-A super(*), MPI super(*), and PEP-B super(*). The two Georgia Basin populations were significantly different at six loci: bGALA super(*), sIDHP super(*), LDH-A super(*), MPI super(*), PGK super(*), and PGM-2 super(*) (p < 0.05). Nei's genetic distance (D) was 0.0006 between Port Susan and Strait of Georgia pooled temporal samples, and 0.005 between these populations and offshore Pacific hake. F sub(ST) was 0.02 and 0.0046 among all three populations and among the Georgia Basin populations, respectively. Both F sub(ST) estimates were significantly greater than zero, and the results suggest a high degree of demographic isolation among all three populations.

Thirty-five loci and two pairs of isoloci were variable, and of these, 25 loci and one pair of isoloci expressed the most abundant allele with a frequency of less than or equal to 0.95 in at least one collection. A neighbor-joining (NJ) tree of genetic distances defined five regional groups: (1) King Salmon River (the only island collection), which has large allelic frequency differences from other populations in this study; (2) heterogeneous coastal populations from southern southeast Alaska; (3) transmountain collections from the Taku and Stikine Rivers on the eastern side of the coastal mountain range; (4) Chilkat River in northern Southeast Alaska; and (5) northern coastal Southeast Alaska, which consists of the Situk River and the Klukshu River, a tributary of the Alsek River. A second NJ tree that included collections from the Yukon River and British Columbia did not reveal any strong genetic similarity between Southeast Alaska and the Yukon River. The data suggest that Southeast Alaska may have been colonized from both northern and southern refugia following the last glaciation - a period of sufficient time to allow for isolation by distance to occur.

Conflicting legislative mandates to conserve fishery resources while sustaining fisheries, protecting essential fish habitat, and promoting the recovery of protected species are underlying themes. In the Atlantic sea-scallop fishery, spatial management approaches are promising but require trade-offs with groundfish closed areas and protection of essential fish habitat. Rebuilding groundfish stocks and promoting the recovery of endangered and threatened species have conflicted with traditional policies of allowing unrestricted access to fishing grounds. For the Atlantic herring and mackerel fisheries, we describe trade-offs between maintaining these abundant pelagic stocks and minimizing forgone yields and negative fishery feedbacks. Although applying a holistic ecosystem approach to management of New England marine fisheries should reduce conflicts and improve stakeholder satisfaction, such an approach will, in practice, be tempered by political interests and the willingness of the public to pay for increased management and resource costs.

Integrating data from federal, state, and private sources, the Resources and UnderSea Threats (RUST) database was developed to inventory and determine, through analysis, the scope of this potential threat. This paper describes the development, structural content, and data analysis tools incorporated. Although RUST was developed initially for use by sanctuary resource protection managers, its application has relevance to the broader response community.

The issue becomes more apparent and more pressing as many aging submerged wrecks and other structures containing fuel or hazardous cargos deteriorate with time. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is taking a proactive role to address this issue because of the existing potential of significant threat for large releases, or cumulatively, from smaller releases, to impact coastal and marine resources. Preliminary data indicates that there are thousands of wrecks in U.S. coastal waters. The public is well aware of the devastation caused by recent wrecks such as the Prestige off of Spain, and there are concerns about similar impacts from much older sources in U.S. waters. As of yet the scope and scale of this potential threat is not well defined. NOAA is taking on part of that task. NOAA, part of the Department of Commerce, encompasses a broad range of trustee responsibilities and scientific activities. NOAA operates satellites to observe the oceans and atmosphere; develops forecasts for all types of weather; restores corals, seagrasses, and coastal ecosystems; and has expertise in polar sciences, oceanography, and fisheries biology. NOAA both charts and explores the depths of the world's oceans. NOAA also provides the scientific expertise to assess and respond to emergencies whether caused by oil or hazardous chemical spills, forest fires or natural hazards. NOAA manages and protects trust resources including fisheries, fisheries habitats, and marine protected areas. NOAA provides the public with information about coastal and marine resources and the environmental factors that impact daily life.

Adults breed in freshwater and oligohaline habitats associated with emergent vegetation, mostly Panicum sp. and Polygonum sp.; breeding occurs during the wet season (May to November). In southern Mexico, opossum pipefish associate with Ruppia maritima, and reproduction is year-round. Pelagic juveniles are found in the Atlantic Ocean and are associated with Sargassum sp.. Juveniles eventually recruit into oligohaline habitats. The species range is from Sao Paulo, Brazil, to New Jersey, USA, although the northernmost limit of permanent breeding populations occurs in the freshwater tributaries to the Indian River Lagoon in east central Florida. The opossum pipefish is one of 25 species of diadromous fish at risk of extinction in North America and is a candidate species to the US Threatened and Endangered Species List.

Milne-Edwards, 1837 at selected cobble nursery sites in mid-coast Maine and Rhode Island from 1989-2001. Inter-annual variations in settlement (high and low densities) were common in both regions, but from 1995 through 2000 only low settlement densities were recorded in the study area in Maine. This was reversed in 2001 with record high settlement. We show that settlement strength determines cohort abundance at least to age one before lobsters disperse from nurseries. However, because of variable growth rates and the 4-9 yr time lag between settlement and fishery recruitment, it has been difficult to assess the impact of inter-annual differences in settlement on future fishery trends. This is the first attempt to provide population projections based on initial settlement data for the American lobster. We developed a growth model that projects the impact of the observed settlement patterns on future fishery landings. The model incorporates variations in individual growth rates obtained from prior field and laboratory studies. Growth variability masks most of the observed inter-annual fluctuations in settlement, but not multiple years of low values. The projections assume no density- dependence following settlement and that sites sampled are representative of settlement trends over a significant area. The growing time series will provide an assessment of the model and its assumptions over the next several years, thereby testing the efficacy of using settlement as an early warning of population changes in this species.

Ship-based, line-transect abundance surveys were conducted in oceanic waters (>200 m deep) of the northern Gulf within U.S. waters (380,432 km super(2)) during spring from 1996 to 1997 and from 1999 to 2001. Data from these five surveys were pooled and minimum abundance estimates were based on 12,162 km of effort and 512 sightings of at least 19 species. The most commonly sighted species (number of groups) were pantropical spotted dolphin, Stenella attenuata (164); sperm whale, Physeter macrocephalus (67); dwarf/pygmy sperm whale, Kogia sima/breviceps (58); Risso's dolphin, Grampus griseus (38); and bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus (24). The most abundant species (number of individuals; coefficient of variation) were S. attenuata (91,321; 0.16); Clymene dolphin, S. clymene (17,355; 0.65); spinner dolphin, S. longirostris (11,971; 0.71); and striped dolphin, S. coeruleoalba (6,505; 0.43). The only large whales sighted were P. macrocephalus (1,349; 0.23) and Bryde's whale, Balaenoptera edeni (40; 0.61). Abundances for other species or genera ranged from 95 to 2,388 animals. Cetaceans were sighted throughout the oceanic northern Gulf and, whereas many species were widely distributed, some had more regional distributions.

The best statistical technique varies depending on the unit on which the inference is based. We present three environmental case studies where ratios are used to compare two groups, and we provide three parametric models from which to simulate ratio data. The models describe situations in which (1) the numerator variance and mean are proportional to the denominator, (2) the numerator mean is proportional to the denominator but its variance is proportional to a quadratic function of the denominator and (3) the numerator and denominator are independent. We compared standard approaches for drawing inference about differences between two distributions of ratios: t-tests, t-tests with transformations, permutation tests, the Wilcoxon rank test, and ANCOVA-based tests. Comparisons between tests were based both on achieving the specified alpha-level and on statistical power. The tests performed comparably with a few notable exceptions. We developed simple guidelines for choosing a test based on the unit of inference and relationship between the numerator and denominator.

The goal of the curriculum is to teach students to think systematically and statistically about science inquiry. Students participate in each step of the scientific inquiry process, from asking testable research questions, designing unbiased experiments, and collecting their own data, to analyzing these data via graphical representations and statistical summaries, and communicating their research results as both poster and oral presentations. While the necessary statistical skills depend on difficult and abstract mathematical concepts, middle school students have been successful in applying them to their own research projects. The curriculum meets local and national standards in science and mathematics education and fills a gap in available educational materials. It has been piloted and revised through multiple iterations and published by the National Science Teachers Association Press. Feedback from teachers and students has been extremely positive.

They planted them into Sashin Lake which had been fishless to that time and separated from the lower stream by two large waterfalls that prevented upstream migration of any fish. In 1996 we sampled adult steelhead from the lower creek and juvenile O. mykiss from an intermediate portion of the creek, Sashin Lake, and five lakes that had been stocked with fish from Sashin Lake in 1938. Tissue samples from these eight populations were compared for variation in: microsatellite DNA at 10 loci; D-loop sequences in mitochondrial DNA; and allozymes at 73 loci known to be variable in steelhead. Genetic variability was consistently less in the Sashin Lake population and all derived populations than in the source anadromous population. The cause of this reduction is unknown but it is likely that very few fish survived to reproduce from the initial transplant in 1926. Stockings of 50-85 fish into five other fishless lakes in 1938 from Sashin Lake did not result in a similar dramatic reduction in variability. We discuss potential explanations for the observed patterns of genetic diversity in relation to the maintenance of endangered anadromous O. mykiss populations in freshwater refugia.

Particular emphasis is given to two complementary (young-of-year = yoy, and older) life stages whose relative abundances differed between FFS and Midway. Older fishes averaged one- third higher in density at FFS, whereas yoy were two-threefold higher at Midway. Populations of fishes at the two atolls thus have different underlying temporal dynamics. Endemic species were generally important at both atolls, especially at Midway, farther upchain (and downcurrent) in the archipelago. The yoy of Hawaiian endemics were disproportionately numerous, which may indicate more consistent recruitment of endemics - an observation worthy of further evaluation elsewhere. Despite the whole reef-scale differences in yoy densities between atolls, habitat effects on yoy were largely consistent at both. The size/age composition of fishes differed among habitats, with yoy dominating numerically on semi-sheltered backreefs and especially on sheltered lagoonal patch reefs. This is likely due to two related factors: the wave-sheltered location and the relative abundance of small-sized shelter (coral rubble and branching corals) in (semi) sheltered habitats compared to the scoured limestone and large-scale 'spur-and-groove' relief of wave-exposed forereefs. In the NWHI, extensive areas of (semi)sheltered habitat occur only at emergent and drowned atolls that are increasingly represented in the more ancient, northwestern part of the archipelago. The potential importance of sheltered atoll lagoons as juvenile nursery habitat makes atolls prime candidates for consideration as no-take Marine Protected Areas within the provisional NWHI Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve and perhaps elsewhere. This tentative conclusion justifies a long-term evaluation of spatial variations in recruitment among habitats of varying wave exposure at additional atolls, at other more wave-exposed fringing reefs surrounding basalt pinnacles in the NWHI, and at other oceanic atolls and continental reefs.

The most recently prepared material, SRM 1974b, is a fresh frozen tissue homogenate prepared from mussels (Mytilus edulis) collected in Boston Harbor, Massachusetts. The other two materials, SRMs 2977 and 2978, are freeze-dried tissue homogenates prepared from mussels collected in Guanabara Bay, Brazil and Raritan Bay, New Jersey, respectively. All three new mussel tissue SRMs complement the current suite of marine natural-matrix SRMs available from NIST that are characterized for a wide range of contaminants (organic and inorganic). SRM 1974b has been developed to replace its predecessor SRM 1974a, Organics in Mussel Tissue, for which the supply is depleted. Similarly, SRMs 2977 and 2978 were developed to replace a previously available (supply depleted) freeze-dried version of SRM 1974a, SRM 2974, Organics in Freeze-Dried Mussel Tissue. SRM 1974b is the third in a series of fresh frozen mussel tissue homogenate SRMs prepared from mussels collected in Boston Harbor starting in 1988. SRM 1974b has certified concentration values for 22 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), 31 polychlorinated biphenyl congeners (PCBs), and 7 chlorinated pesticides. Reference values are provided for additional constituents: 16 PAHs, 8 PCBs plus total PCBs, 6 pesticides, total extractable organics, methylmercury, and 11 trace elements. PAH concentrations range from about 2 ng g super(-1) dry mass (cyclopenta[cd]pyrene) to 180 ng g super(-1) dry mass (pyrene). PCB concentrations range from about 2 ng g super(-1) dry mass (PCB 157) to 120 ng g super(-1) dry mass (PCB 153). The reference value for total PCBs in SRM 1974b is (2020 plus or minus 420) ng g super(-1) dry mass. Pesticide concentrations range from about 4 ng g super(-1) dry mass (4,4'-DDT) to 40 ng g super(-1) dry mass (4,4'-DDE). SRM 2977 has certified values for 14 PAHs, 25 PCB congeners, 7 pesticides, 6 trace elements, and methylmercury. Reference values for 16 additional PAHs and 9 inorganic constituents are provided, and information values are given for 23 additional trace elements. SRM 2978 has certified and reference concentrations for 41 and 22 organic compounds, respectively, and contains contaminant levels similar to those of SRM 1974b. Organic contaminant levels in SRM 2977 (mussels from Guanabara Bay, Brazil) are typically a factor of 2 to 4 lower than those in SRM 1974b and SRM 2978. The organic contaminant concentrations in each new mussel tissue SRM are presented and compared in this paper. In addition, a chronological review of contaminant concentrations associated with mussels collected in Boston Harbor is discussed as well as a stability assessment of SRM 1974a.

Why overcapacity--not excess capacity or capacity itself--is of importance to fishery managers is explained in terms of living marine resources that are treated as open-access fisheries. As a result, the amount of fish that could be caught by a fisherman at a target stock abundance level greatly exceeds what is actually caught at a given stock size; i.e., overcapacity. While intended to provide a basic understanding of capacity concepts, this note does not present all aspects of the capacity management problem in these highly diverse domestic fisheries.

The first stage modeled bargaining solutions between Council members (harvesters, conservationists, and government) for management targets, and the second stage addressed litigation of those solutions. Results indicate that bargaining power favoring one constituent group could lead to Council outcomes that deviate from management policy. This, in turn, creates incentives for the aggrieved constituent group to litigate. Tradeoffs between benefits and costs of litigation and governmental strategies to address these issues are explored.

A geographic information system (GIS) project documents the locations and associated data of Global Offshore Hazardous Materials Sites (GOHMS) potentially posing threats to human health, safety, navigation, commercial fishing, and the environment. Nearly 350 sites are currently in the project. This paper discusses some of the history of hazardous materials disposal and loss at sea, primarily off the United States coast between 1945 and 1970 when few guidelines existed to geographically document an underwater site. Although not publicly distributed at present, the GOHMS GIS project is intended to add value to existing historical information by providing side investigators and responders easy access to waste stream locations and other spatial data through NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration and the National Marine Sanctuaries Program.

Undersea threat information is only the first step of several in determining the potential scope and scale of the spill trajectories that demonstrate potential to impact sensitive resources. Resource managers frequently have to make decisions based on the precautionary approach, using the best available information to weigh alternatives without knowing for certain whether they are making the right choice. In contrast, pollution responders are generally reactionary, and response alternatives must be generated with the best available information. The Office of Response and Restoration, Hazardous Materials Response Division (HAZMAT) has developed a spill response and planning application, Trajectory Analysis Planner (TAP), which randomly samples seasonal climatology and runs hundreds of possible trajectories. These trajectories are combined to form several modes that display various types of ocean analysis. Combining TAP modeling with the Resources and Undersea Threats database could provide marine resource managers with critical information for making planning decisions, as well as for developing preparedness and response options for inclusion in coastal Area Contingency Plans.

Water, sediment, seagrass, benthos, and nekton characteristics were measured and compared among newly deposited sediments and nearby and distant seagrasses each fall and spring over three years. Over this period, 75% of the estimated total surface area of the original deposits was either re-vegetated by seagrass or dispersed by winds and currents. Differences in water and sediment characteristics among habitat types were mostly detected early in the study. There were signs of steady seagrass re-colonization in the latter half of the study period, and mean seagrass coverage of deposits had reached 48% approximately three years after dredging. Clovergrass Halophila engelmannii was the initial colonist, but shoalgrass Halodule wrightii predominated after about one year. Densities of annelids and non-decapod crustaceans were generally significantly greater in close and distant seagrass habitats than in dredged material habitat, whereas densities of molluscs were not significantly related to habitat type. Nekton (fish and decapod) densities were almost always significantly greater in the two seagrass habitats than in dredged material deposits. Benthos and nekton communities in dredged material deposits were distinct from those in seagrass habitats. Recovery from dredged material placement was nearly complete for water column and sediment components after 1.5 to 3 years, but recovery of seagrasses, benthos, and nekton was predicted to take 4 to 8 years. The current 2 to 5 years dredging cycle virtually insures no time for ecosystem recovery before being disturbed again. The only way to ensure permanent protection of the high primary and secondary productivity of seagrass beds in Laguna Madre from acute and chronic effects of maintenance dredging, while ensuring navigation capability, is to remove dredged materials from the shallow waters of the ecosystem.

The goal of this study was to determine whether blood OC concentrations can predict those in adipose tissue of sea turtles. Blood offers many benefits for monitoring OCs. It can be collected nondestructively from live turtles and can be sampled repeatedly for continuous monitoring. Organochlorine concentrations in blood may better represent the exposure levels of target tissues, but blood concentrations may fluctuate more than those in fatty tissues following recent dietary exposure or lipid mobilization. Paired fat and blood samples were collected from 44 live, juvenile loggerhead sea turtles and 10 juvenile Kemp's ridley sea turtle carcasses. Organochlorines were analyzed using gas chromatography with electron capture detection and mass spectrometry. Lipid-normalized OC concentrations measured in the blood significantly correlated to levels found in the fat samples of both species. This result suggests that sea turtle blood is a suitable alternative to fatty tissues for measuring OCs because blood concentrations reasonably represent those observed in the paired fat samples. However, blood OC concentrations calculated on a wet-mass basis were significantly and inversely correlated to lipid content in the fat samples. Therefore, caution should be used when monitoring spatial or temporal trends, as OC levels may increase in the blood following mobilization of fat stores, such as during long migrations, breeding, or disease events.

The Bureau remained in the Commerce Department until 1941 when it was merged with the Biological Survey and placed in the Department of Interior as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Bureau was a scientific agency with well-conceived programs of action, and it provided knowledge, advice, and example to state governments and individuals with fisheries interests and needs. The efforts were supported by timely international agreements which constituted the precedent for Federal interests in fishery matters. The agency's scientists and facilities made important additions to the sum of human knowledge, derived principles of conservation which were the vital bases for effective regulatory legislation, conducted extensive fish cultural work collected and disseminated fisheries statistics, and began important research in methods of fish harvesting, preservation, transportation, and marketing.

Research to reduce such bycatch resulted in gear modifications and season-area closures that were put in place in the late 1990s. Marine mammal, seabird, and sea turtle mortality estimates from this fishery for 1996-2002 are presented. Estimation methods are described. The most frequently entangled marine mammal species were the short-beaked common dolphin, California sea lion, and northern right whale dolphin. Data on estimated mortality of these and other species, as well as leatherback and loggerhead sea turtles and several seabird species, are reported. Kill rates for common dolphins increased in 1999-2000. Other mortality trends also are discussed.

The National Marine Fisheries Service, in response, has begun initiatives to reduce litigation losses. One is a new focus on forensic fisheries management (the application of science to law) so that agency legal requirements are met. Recent legal literature on useful theories and concepts regarding the intersection of law and science in the regulatory agency context is reviewed with emphasis on articles that help scientists understand key issues and concepts in U.S. forensic fisheries management. The selected literature covers both legal-institutional and sociocultural categories. Among the specific issues covered are best available scientific information, scientific uncertainty, the politicization of science, the influence of institutional structure and function on the environmental decision-making process, integrating new scientific thinking into the existing legal structure, NEPA as a planning tool and source of litigation, the sociology of science, and the professional role of scientists in a regulatory agency.

Juvenile chinook salmon were collected in 1989, 1990, and 1991 from five drainages in the Snake River Basin. In each drainage we attempted to collect fish from streams with no hatchery supplementation (wild), naturally spawning fish from streams with hatchery supplementation (natural), and fish collected at a hatchery. Forty fish were collected per site and the number of elements in bilateral characters were counted on each side of the fish. Indices of fluctuating asymmetry (FA), a measure of minor, random deviations in perfect symmetry of bilateral counts, were calculated as an estimator of developmental instability. Analysis of character counts from seven paired characters revealed normal distributions. Only one of the characters displayed counts that were statistically larger on one side than the other, indicating that directional asymmetry (DA) or antisymmetry was not a major bias of FA. However, the means of all individual characters revealed a non-statistically significant left side bias. We analyzed our data using two indices of FA (FA1 and FA5) with different levels of sensitivity to DA. Differences in both FA indices were found among years, with collection sites in 1989 having significantly larger FA values than in 1991 (FA p < 0.01). Levels of FA among wild, natural, and hatchery fish were comparatively small (FA1 p = 0.17). This suggests developmental conditions were different in the first year of the study than in the last. The cause of these differences may be linked to either genetic or environmental variation or to gene-environment interactions, but the general population declines of salmon that occurred during this time obscures more specific conclusions.

Two separate studies were conducted. In the first, a large-scale study, T. testudinum seedlings were surveyed and collected from a large seagrass disturbance (1560 m super(2)), 4.8 yr after the initial impact from a motor-vessel grounding. In the second, a smaller-scale study, T. testudinum seedling recruitment was examined over a 2 yr period within 9 smaller motor-vessel disturbances located within intact T. testudinum beds. In the large-scale study, we reconstructed the age of the seedlings based on shoot production rates from a previous study and from the small-scale study. A total of 79 seedlings were collected that varied in age from young of the year to 4.8 yr old; 6 different seedling cohorts were identified. The average density and rhizome-elongation rate for 1 yr old seedlings were 1 m super(-2) and 6.6 cm yr super(-1), respectively. In the small-scale study, we surveyed and permanently marked all newly recruited seedlings; monitoring was conducted 5 more times over a 2 yr period. The average seedling survival after Year 1 was 42%; after Year 2, average survival dropped to 20%. The average seedling density after Year 1 was 0.071 m super(-2); after Year 2, average density dropped to 0.026 m super(-2). The average rhizome-elongation rate and shoot-production rate of 1 yr old seedlings were 6 cm yr super(-1) and 1.8 shoots yr super(-1), respectively. The results of this study suggest that T. testudinum seedlings are a regular and reliable source of new recruits on seagrass banks in the Florida Keys.

To determine if otolith composition is a valid tracer of specific nursery sites and can be used to classify adult fish to their nursery area, chemical concentrations in juvenile gag otoliths (Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Mn, Cu, Pb, delta super(13)C and delta super(18)O,) were measured for 4 nursery areas along the Florida west coast in 1992, 1995 and 1996. Classification of fish to nursery area was by parametric discriminant function analysis and neural network simulation; both gave similar results in the spatial and temporal patterns of classification error and in identification of important classification variables (Mn, Sr and delta super(13)C). Classification success rates ranged from 66 to 100%. Interannual variability in otolith composition had a negative effect on classification success rate at the spatial scale of site separation (300 km) the year effect was reduced and classification success remained high without consideration of year class. Analysis of classification errors supports the separation of sites into northern and southern groups. The observed negative trend in otolith Sr and positive trend in otolith Mn with increasing latitude are positively correlated with corresponding trends in groundwater Sr and sediment Mn, respectively, which are hypothesized to be the proximal causes for the otolith trends. Otolith composition is a valid technique for classifying juvenile gag to estuarine habitats along the west coast of Florida. Classification error rates of less than 10% are obtained when the year class of the fish is considered. Similar error rates were achieved across multi-year data at regional spatial scales.

Changes in the size and shape of the Azoarcus group I ribozyme as a function of Mg super(2+) and Na super(+) concentration were followed by small angle neutron scattering. In low salt buffer, the RNA was expanded, with an average radius of gyration (R sub(g)) of 53 plus or minus 1 AA. A highly cooperative transition to a compact form (R sub(g) = 31.5 plus or minus 0.5 AA) was observed between 1.6 and 1.7 mM MgCl sub(2). The collapse transition, which is unusually sharp in Mg super(2+), has the characteristics of a first-order phase transition. Partial digestion with ribonuclease T1 under identical conditions showed that this transition correlated with the assembly of double helices in the ribozyme core. Fivefold higher Mg super(2+) concentrations were required for self-splicing, indicating that compaction occurs before native tertiary interactions are fully stabilized. No further decrease in R sub(g) was observed between 1.7 and 20 mM MgCl sub(2), indicating that the intermediates have the same dimensions as the native ribozyme, within the uncertainty of the data ( plus or minus 1 AA). A more gradual transition to a final R sub(g) of approximately 33.5 AA was observed between 0.45 and 2 M NaCl. This confirms the expectation that monovalent ions not only are less efficient in charge neutralization but also contract the RNA less efficiently than multivalent ions.

[Part 33 of 55] T2 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE ATLANTIC SEA SCALLOP FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF MAY 1982). AN - 900616451; 10621-7_0033 AB - PURPOSE: An amendment to the fishery management plan (FMP) for the sea scallop fishery of the Atlantic Ocean is proposed by the New England Fishery Management Council. The management unit consists of sea scallop resources from the shoreline to the outer boundary of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The overall objectives of the original management plan, implemented in May 1982, are to restore adult sea scallop stock abundance and age distribution; to increase yield per recruit for each stock; to evaluate plan research, development, and enforcement costs; and to minimize adverse environmental impacts on sea scallops. The goals of the amendment are to improve the FMP's ability to meet its objectives and achieve optimum yield, to update the analysis of cumulative impacts of the FMP on the human environment, and to re-revaluate the essential fish habitat (EFH) components of the FMP and minimize adverse effects on EFH. This final supplement to the final EIS of May 1982 addresses preferred alternatives, status quo and no action alternatives, and short-term management actions. The preferred alternative, which is a combination of the alternatives described, would provide for adaptive rotation having flexible rotation boundaries, with supporting surveys, data collection, and research to enable and assist with this form of management. The system could identify up to five types of scallop resource areas: 1) indefinite, long-term closures to protect sensitive and vulnerable habitat or to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 20 multi-year closures to postpone mortality on strong year classes; 3) seasonal closures to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 4) controlled access areas that would be re-opened after a scallop rotation closure; and 5) open scallop fishing areas where customary limited access and general category rules apply. Annual day-at-sea (DAS) allocations would follow current procedures, but the DAS tradeoff and/or scallop possession limits could vary by area and controlled access areas could be opened simultaneously during the fishing year. The definition of "overfishing" would change to achieve optimum yield by maximizing yield-per-recruit in areas that are open or at a future time open to scallop fishing. The alternative would also include a proposal to change the fishing year to begin on a date between July 1 and September 1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Higher scallop yield would be achieved by the application of new techniques to the marine environment. A more formal process would be implemented in order to allow periodic access to the surplus biomass of scallops in the Georges Bank groundfish closed areas. Fishing gear restrictions would reduce damage to EFH. Significant differences across vessels in the scallop would be addressed. Data collection and research needed to monitor the fishery would be improved. Consumer prices for scallops would decline due to increased yield. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The imposition of DAS, area closures, gear restrictions, and other controls would restrict the immediate commercial capacity of the fishery in some areas, causing short-term economic hardships for some users.

[Part 32 of 55] T2 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE ATLANTIC SEA SCALLOP FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF MAY 1982). AN - 900616449; 10621-7_0032 AB - PURPOSE: An amendment to the fishery management plan (FMP) for the sea scallop fishery of the Atlantic Ocean is proposed by the New England Fishery Management Council. The management unit consists of sea scallop resources from the shoreline to the outer boundary of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The overall objectives of the original management plan, implemented in May 1982, are to restore adult sea scallop stock abundance and age distribution; to increase yield per recruit for each stock; to evaluate plan research, development, and enforcement costs; and to minimize adverse environmental impacts on sea scallops. The goals of the amendment are to improve the FMP's ability to meet its objectives and achieve optimum yield, to update the analysis of cumulative impacts of the FMP on the human environment, and to re-revaluate the essential fish habitat (EFH) components of the FMP and minimize adverse effects on EFH. This final supplement to the final EIS of May 1982 addresses preferred alternatives, status quo and no action alternatives, and short-term management actions. The preferred alternative, which is a combination of the alternatives described, would provide for adaptive rotation having flexible rotation boundaries, with supporting surveys, data collection, and research to enable and assist with this form of management. The system could identify up to five types of scallop resource areas: 1) indefinite, long-term closures to protect sensitive and vulnerable habitat or to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 20 multi-year closures to postpone mortality on strong year classes; 3) seasonal closures to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 4) controlled access areas that would be re-opened after a scallop rotation closure; and 5) open scallop fishing areas where customary limited access and general category rules apply. Annual day-at-sea (DAS) allocations would follow current procedures, but the DAS tradeoff and/or scallop possession limits could vary by area and controlled access areas could be opened simultaneously during the fishing year. The definition of "overfishing" would change to achieve optimum yield by maximizing yield-per-recruit in areas that are open or at a future time open to scallop fishing. The alternative would also include a proposal to change the fishing year to begin on a date between July 1 and September 1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Higher scallop yield would be achieved by the application of new techniques to the marine environment. A more formal process would be implemented in order to allow periodic access to the surplus biomass of scallops in the Georges Bank groundfish closed areas. Fishing gear restrictions would reduce damage to EFH. Significant differences across vessels in the scallop would be addressed. Data collection and research needed to monitor the fishery would be improved. Consumer prices for scallops would decline due to increased yield. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The imposition of DAS, area closures, gear restrictions, and other controls would restrict the immediate commercial capacity of the fishery in some areas, causing short-term economic hardships for some users. Some jobs would be lost if vessels excluded from the scallop fishery did not switch to an unregulated species. Declining prices for scallops would also affect the fishing industry as a whole somewhat.

[Part 13 of 55] T2 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE ATLANTIC SEA SCALLOP FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF MAY 1982). AN - 900616435; 10621-7_0013 AB - PURPOSE: An amendment to the fishery management plan (FMP) for the sea scallop fishery of the Atlantic Ocean is proposed by the New England Fishery Management Council. The management unit consists of sea scallop resources from the shoreline to the outer boundary of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The overall objectives of the original management plan, implemented in May 1982, are to restore adult sea scallop stock abundance and age distribution; to increase yield per recruit for each stock; to evaluate plan research, development, and enforcement costs; and to minimize adverse environmental impacts on sea scallops. The goals of the amendment are to improve the FMP's ability to meet its objectives and achieve optimum yield, to update the analysis of cumulative impacts of the FMP on the human environment, and to re-revaluate the essential fish habitat (EFH) components of the FMP and minimize adverse effects on EFH. This final supplement to the final EIS of May 1982 addresses preferred alternatives, status quo and no action alternatives, and short-term management actions. The preferred alternative, which is a combination of the alternatives described, would provide for adaptive rotation having flexible rotation boundaries, with supporting surveys, data collection, and research to enable and assist with this form of management. The system could identify up to five types of scallop resource areas: 1) indefinite, long-term closures to protect sensitive and vulnerable habitat or to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 20 multi-year closures to postpone mortality on strong year classes; 3) seasonal closures to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 4) controlled access areas that would be re-opened after a scallop rotation closure; and 5) open scallop fishing areas where customary limited access and general category rules apply. Annual day-at-sea (DAS) allocations would follow current procedures, but the DAS tradeoff and/or scallop possession limits could vary by area and controlled access areas could be opened simultaneously during the fishing year. The definition of "overfishing" would change to achieve optimum yield by maximizing yield-per-recruit in areas that are open or at a future time open to scallop fishing. The alternative would also include a proposal to change the fishing year to begin on a date between July 1 and September 1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Higher scallop yield would be achieved by the application of new techniques to the marine environment. A more formal process would be implemented in order to allow periodic access to the surplus biomass of scallops in the Georges Bank groundfish closed areas. Fishing gear restrictions would reduce damage to EFH. Significant differences across vessels in the scallop would be addressed. Data collection and research needed to monitor the fishery would be improved. Consumer prices for scallops would decline due to increased yield. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The imposition of DAS, area closures, gear restrictions, and other controls would restrict the immediate commercial capacity of the fishery in some areas, causing short-term economic hardships for some users. Some jobs would be lost if vessels excluded from the scallop fishery did not switch to an unregulated species. Declining prices for scallops would also affect the fishing industry as a whole somewhat.

[Part 37 of 55] T2 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE ATLANTIC SEA SCALLOP FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF MAY 1982). AN - 900616344; 10621-7_0037 AB - PURPOSE: An amendment to the fishery management plan (FMP) for the sea scallop fishery of the Atlantic Ocean is proposed by the New England Fishery Management Council. The management unit consists of sea scallop resources from the shoreline to the outer boundary of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The overall objectives of the original management plan, implemented in May 1982, are to restore adult sea scallop stock abundance and age distribution; to increase yield per recruit for each stock; to evaluate plan research, development, and enforcement costs; and to minimize adverse environmental impacts on sea scallops. The goals of the amendment are to improve the FMP's ability to meet its objectives and achieve optimum yield, to update the analysis of cumulative impacts of the FMP on the human environment, and to re-revaluate the essential fish habitat (EFH) components of the FMP and minimize adverse effects on EFH. This final supplement to the final EIS of May 1982 addresses preferred alternatives, status quo and no action alternatives, and short-term management actions. The preferred alternative, which is a combination of the alternatives described, would provide for adaptive rotation having flexible rotation boundaries, with supporting surveys, data collection, and research to enable and assist with this form of management. The system could identify up to five types of scallop resource areas: 1) indefinite, long-term closures to protect sensitive and vulnerable habitat or to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 20 multi-year closures to postpone mortality on strong year classes; 3) seasonal closures to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 4) controlled access areas that would be re-opened after a scallop rotation closure; and 5) open scallop fishing areas where customary limited access and general category rules apply. Annual day-at-sea (DAS) allocations would follow current procedures, but the DAS tradeoff and/or scallop possession limits could vary by area and controlled access areas could be opened simultaneously during the fishing year. The definition of "overfishing" would change to achieve optimum yield by maximizing yield-per-recruit in areas that are open or at a future time open to scallop fishing. The alternative would also include a proposal to change the fishing year to begin on a date between July 1 and September 1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Higher scallop yield would be achieved by the application of new techniques to the marine environment. A more formal process would be implemented in order to allow periodic access to the surplus biomass of scallops in the Georges Bank groundfish closed areas. Fishing gear restrictions would reduce damage to EFH. Significant differences across vessels in the scallop would be addressed. Data collection and research needed to monitor the fishery would be improved. Consumer prices for scallops would decline due to increased yield. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The imposition of DAS, area closures, gear restrictions, and other controls would restrict the immediate commercial capacity of the fishery in some areas, causing short-term economic hardships for some users. Some jobs would be lost if vessels excluded from the scallop fishery did not switch to an unregulated species. Declining prices for scallops would also affect the fishing industry as a whole somewhat.

[Part 42 of 55] T2 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE ATLANTIC SEA SCALLOP FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF MAY 1982). AN - 900616192; 10621-7_0042 AB - PURPOSE: An amendment to the fishery management plan (FMP) for the sea scallop fishery of the Atlantic Ocean is proposed by the New England Fishery Management Council. The management unit consists of sea scallop resources from the shoreline to the outer boundary of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The overall objectives of the original management plan, implemented in May 1982, are to restore adult sea scallop stock abundance and age distribution; to increase yield per recruit for each stock; to evaluate plan research, development, and enforcement costs; and to minimize adverse environmental impacts on sea scallops. The goals of the amendment are to improve the FMP's ability to meet its objectives and achieve optimum yield, to update the analysis of cumulative impacts of the FMP on the human environment, and to re-revaluate the essential fish habitat (EFH) components of the FMP and minimize adverse effects on EFH. This final supplement to the final EIS of May 1982 addresses preferred alternatives, status quo and no action alternatives, and short-term management actions. The preferred alternative, which is a combination of the alternatives described, would provide for adaptive rotation having flexible rotation boundaries, with supporting surveys, data collection, and research to enable and assist with this form of management. The system could identify up to five types of scallop resource areas: 1) indefinite, long-term closures to protect sensitive and vulnerable habitat or to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 20 multi-year closures to postpone mortality on strong year classes; 3) seasonal closures to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 4) controlled access areas that would be re-opened after a scallop rotation closure; and 5) open scallop fishing areas where customary limited access and general category rules apply. Annual day-at-sea (DAS) allocations would follow current procedures, but the DAS tradeoff and/or scallop possession limits could vary by area and controlled access areas could be opened simultaneously during the fishing year. The definition of "overfishing" would change to achieve optimum yield by maximizing yield-per-recruit in areas that are open or at a future time open to scallop fishing. The alternative would also include a proposal to change the fishing year to begin on a date between July 1 and September 1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Higher scallop yield would be achieved by the application of new techniques to the marine environment. A more formal process would be implemented in order to allow periodic access to the surplus biomass of scallops in the Georges Bank groundfish closed areas. Fishing gear restrictions would reduce damage to EFH. Significant differences across vessels in the scallop would be addressed. Data collection and research needed to monitor the fishery would be improved. Consumer prices for scallops would decline due to increased yield. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The imposition of DAS, area closures, gear restrictions, and other controls would restrict the immediate commercial capacity of the fishery in some areas, causing short-term economic hardships for some users. Some jobs would be lost if vessels excluded from the scallop fishery did not switch to an unregulated species. Declining prices for scallops would also affect the fishing industry as a whole somewhat.

[Part 34 of 55] T2 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE ATLANTIC SEA SCALLOP FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF MAY 1982). AN - 900616152; 10621-7_0034 AB - PURPOSE: An amendment to the fishery management plan (FMP) for the sea scallop fishery of the Atlantic Ocean is proposed by the New England Fishery Management Council. The management unit consists of sea scallop resources from the shoreline to the outer boundary of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The overall objectives of the original management plan, implemented in May 1982, are to restore adult sea scallop stock abundance and age distribution; to increase yield per recruit for each stock; to evaluate plan research, development, and enforcement costs; and to minimize adverse environmental impacts on sea scallops. The goals of the amendment are to improve the FMP's ability to meet its objectives and achieve optimum yield, to update the analysis of cumulative impacts of the FMP on the human environment, and to re-revaluate the essential fish habitat (EFH) components of the FMP and minimize adverse effects on EFH. This final supplement to the final EIS of May 1982 addresses preferred alternatives, status quo and no action alternatives, and short-term management actions. The preferred alternative, which is a combination of the alternatives described, would provide for adaptive rotation having flexible rotation boundaries, with supporting surveys, data collection, and research to enable and assist with this form of management. The system could identify up to five types of scallop resource areas: 1) indefinite, long-term closures to protect sensitive and vulnerable habitat or to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 20 multi-year closures to postpone mortality on strong year classes; 3) seasonal closures to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 4) controlled access areas that would be re-opened after a scallop rotation closure; and 5) open scallop fishing areas where customary limited access and general category rules apply. Annual day-at-sea (DAS) allocations would follow current procedures, but the DAS tradeoff and/or scallop possession limits could vary by area and controlled access areas could be opened simultaneously during the fishing year. The definition of "overfishing" would change to achieve optimum yield by maximizing yield-per-recruit in areas that are open or at a future time open to scallop fishing. The alternative would also include a proposal to change the fishing year to begin on a date between July 1 and September 1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Higher scallop yield would be achieved by the application of new techniques to the marine environment. A more formal process would be implemented in order to allow periodic access to the surplus biomass of scallops in the Georges Bank groundfish closed areas. Fishing gear restrictions would reduce damage to EFH. Significant differences across vessels in the scallop would be addressed. Data collection and research needed to monitor the fishery would be improved. Consumer prices for scallops would decline due to increased yield. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The imposition of DAS, area closures, gear restrictions, and other controls would restrict the immediate commercial capacity of the fishery in some areas, causing short-term economic hardships for some users. Some jobs would be lost if vessels excluded from the scallop fishery did not switch to an unregulated species. Declining prices for scallops would also affect the fishing industry as a whole somewhat.

[Part 29 of 55] T2 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE ATLANTIC SEA SCALLOP FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF MAY 1982). AN - 900616034; 10621-7_0029 AB - PURPOSE: An amendment to the fishery management plan (FMP) for the sea scallop fishery of the Atlantic Ocean is proposed by the New England Fishery Management Council. The management unit consists of sea scallop resources from the shoreline to the outer boundary of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The overall objectives of the original management plan, implemented in May 1982, are to restore adult sea scallop stock abundance and age distribution; to increase yield per recruit for each stock; to evaluate plan research, development, and enforcement costs; and to minimize adverse environmental impacts on sea scallops. The goals of the amendment are to improve the FMP's ability to meet its objectives and achieve optimum yield, to update the analysis of cumulative impacts of the FMP on the human environment, and to re-revaluate the essential fish habitat (EFH) components of the FMP and minimize adverse effects on EFH. This final supplement to the final EIS of May 1982 addresses preferred alternatives, status quo and no action alternatives, and short-term management actions. The preferred alternative, which is a combination of the alternatives described, would provide for adaptive rotation having flexible rotation boundaries, with supporting surveys, data collection, and research to enable and assist with this form of management. The system could identify up to five types of scallop resource areas: 1) indefinite, long-term closures to protect sensitive and vulnerable habitat or to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 20 multi-year closures to postpone mortality on strong year classes; 3) seasonal closures to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 4) controlled access areas that would be re-opened after a scallop rotation closure; and 5) open scallop fishing areas where customary limited access and general category rules apply. Annual day-at-sea (DAS) allocations would follow current procedures, but the DAS tradeoff and/or scallop possession limits could vary by area and controlled access areas could be opened simultaneously during the fishing year. The definition of "overfishing" would change to achieve optimum yield by maximizing yield-per-recruit in areas that are open or at a future time open to scallop fishing. The alternative would also include a proposal to change the fishing year to begin on a date between July 1 and September 1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Higher scallop yield would be achieved by the application of new techniques to the marine environment. A more formal process would be implemented in order to allow periodic access to the surplus biomass of scallops in the Georges Bank groundfish closed areas. Fishing gear restrictions would reduce damage to EFH. Significant differences across vessels in the scallop would be addressed. Data collection and research needed to monitor the fishery would be improved. Consumer prices for scallops would decline due to increased yield. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The imposition of DAS, area closures, gear restrictions, and other controls would restrict the immediate commercial capacity of the fishery in some areas, causing short-term economic hardships for some users. Some jobs would be lost if vessels excluded from the scallop fishery did not switch to an unregulated species. Declining prices for scallops would also affect the fishing industry as a whole somewhat.

[Part 20 of 55] T2 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE ATLANTIC SEA SCALLOP FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF MAY 1982). AN - 900616008; 10621-7_0020 AB - PURPOSE: An amendment to the fishery management plan (FMP) for the sea scallop fishery of the Atlantic Ocean is proposed by the New England Fishery Management Council. The management unit consists of sea scallop resources from the shoreline to the outer boundary of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The overall objectives of the original management plan, implemented in May 1982, are to restore adult sea scallop stock abundance and age distribution; to increase yield per recruit for each stock; to evaluate plan research, development, and enforcement costs; and to minimize adverse environmental impacts on sea scallops. The goals of the amendment are to improve the FMP's ability to meet its objectives and achieve optimum yield, to update the analysis of cumulative impacts of the FMP on the human environment, and to re-revaluate the essential fish habitat (EFH) components of the FMP and minimize adverse effects on EFH. This final supplement to the final EIS of May 1982 addresses preferred alternatives, status quo and no action alternatives, and short-term management actions. The preferred alternative, which is a combination of the alternatives described, would provide for adaptive rotation having flexible rotation boundaries, with supporting surveys, data collection, and research to enable and assist with this form of management. The system could identify up to five types of scallop resource areas: 1) indefinite, long-term closures to protect sensitive and vulnerable habitat or to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 20 multi-year closures to postpone mortality on strong year classes; 3) seasonal closures to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 4) controlled access areas that would be re-opened after a scallop rotation closure; and 5) open scallop fishing areas where customary limited access and general category rules apply. Annual day-at-sea (DAS) allocations would follow current procedures, but the DAS tradeoff and/or scallop possession limits could vary by area and controlled access areas could be opened simultaneously during the fishing year. The definition of "overfishing" would change to achieve optimum yield by maximizing yield-per-recruit in areas that are open or at a future time open to scallop fishing. The alternative would also include a proposal to change the fishing year to begin on a date between July 1 and September 1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Higher scallop yield would be achieved by the application of new techniques to the marine environment. A more formal process would be implemented in order to allow periodic access to the surplus biomass of scallops in the Georges Bank groundfish closed areas. Fishing gear restrictions would reduce damage to EFH. Significant differences across vessels in the scallop would be addressed. Data collection and research needed to monitor the fishery would be improved. Consumer prices for scallops would decline due to increased yield. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The imposition of DAS, area closures, gear restrictions, and other controls would restrict the immediate commercial capacity of the fishery in some areas, causing short-term economic hardships for some users. Some jobs would be lost if vessels excluded from the scallop fishery did not switch to an unregulated species. Declining prices for scallops would also affect the fishing industry as a whole somewhat.

[Part 12 of 55] T2 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE ATLANTIC SEA SCALLOP FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF MAY 1982). AN - 900615726; 10621-7_0012 AB - PURPOSE: An amendment to the fishery management plan (FMP) for the sea scallop fishery of the Atlantic Ocean is proposed by the New England Fishery Management Council. The management unit consists of sea scallop resources from the shoreline to the outer boundary of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The overall objectives of the original management plan, implemented in May 1982, are to restore adult sea scallop stock abundance and age distribution; to increase yield per recruit for each stock; to evaluate plan research, development, and enforcement costs; and to minimize adverse environmental impacts on sea scallops. The goals of the amendment are to improve the FMP's ability to meet its objectives and achieve optimum yield, to update the analysis of cumulative impacts of the FMP on the human environment, and to re-revaluate the essential fish habitat (EFH) components of the FMP and minimize adverse effects on EFH. This final supplement to the final EIS of May 1982 addresses preferred alternatives, status quo and no action alternatives, and short-term management actions. The preferred alternative, which is a combination of the alternatives described, would provide for adaptive rotation having flexible rotation boundaries, with supporting surveys, data collection, and research to enable and assist with this form of management. The system could identify up to five types of scallop resource areas: 1) indefinite, long-term closures to protect sensitive and vulnerable habitat or to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 20 multi-year closures to postpone mortality on strong year classes; 3) seasonal closures to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 4) controlled access areas that would be re-opened after a scallop rotation closure; and 5) open scallop fishing areas where customary limited access and general category rules apply. Annual day-at-sea (DAS) allocations would follow current procedures, but the DAS tradeoff and/or scallop possession limits could vary by area and controlled access areas could be opened simultaneously during the fishing year. The definition of "overfishing" would change to achieve optimum yield by maximizing yield-per-recruit in areas that are open or at a future time open to scallop fishing. The alternative would also include a proposal to change the fishing year to begin on a date between July 1 and September 1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Higher scallop yield would be achieved by the application of new techniques to the marine environment. A more formal process would be implemented in order to allow periodic access to the surplus biomass of scallops in the Georges Bank groundfish closed areas. Fishing gear restrictions would reduce damage to EFH. Significant differences across vessels in the scallop would be addressed. Data collection and research needed to monitor the fishery would be improved. Consumer prices for scallops would decline due to increased yield. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The imposition of DAS, area closures, gear restrictions, and other controls would restrict the immediate commercial capacity of the fishery in some areas, causing short-term economic hardships for some users. Some jobs would be lost if vessels excluded from the scallop fishery did not switch to an unregulated species. Declining prices for scallops would also affect the fishing industry as a whole somewhat.

[Part 8 of 55] T2 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE ATLANTIC SEA SCALLOP FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF MAY 1982). AN - 900615391; 10621-7_0008 AB - PURPOSE: An amendment to the fishery management plan (FMP) for the sea scallop fishery of the Atlantic Ocean is proposed by the New England Fishery Management Council. The management unit consists of sea scallop resources from the shoreline to the outer boundary of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The overall objectives of the original management plan, implemented in May 1982, are to restore adult sea scallop stock abundance and age distribution; to increase yield per recruit for each stock; to evaluate plan research, development, and enforcement costs; and to minimize adverse environmental impacts on sea scallops. The goals of the amendment are to improve the FMP's ability to meet its objectives and achieve optimum yield, to update the analysis of cumulative impacts of the FMP on the human environment, and to re-revaluate the essential fish habitat (EFH) components of the FMP and minimize adverse effects on EFH. This final supplement to the final EIS of May 1982 addresses preferred alternatives, status quo and no action alternatives, and short-term management actions. The preferred alternative, which is a combination of the alternatives described, would provide for adaptive rotation having flexible rotation boundaries, with supporting surveys, data collection, and research to enable and assist with this form of management. The system could identify up to five types of scallop resource areas: 1) indefinite, long-term closures to protect sensitive and vulnerable habitat or to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 20 multi-year closures to postpone mortality on strong year classes; 3) seasonal closures to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 4) controlled access areas that would be re-opened after a scallop rotation closure; and 5) open scallop fishing areas where customary limited access and general category rules apply. Annual day-at-sea (DAS) allocations would follow current procedures, but the DAS tradeoff and/or scallop possession limits could vary by area and controlled access areas could be opened simultaneously during the fishing year. The definition of "overfishing" would change to achieve optimum yield by maximizing yield-per-recruit in areas that are open or at a future time open to scallop fishing. The alternative would also include a proposal to change the fishing year to begin on a date between July 1 and September 1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Higher scallop yield would be achieved by the application of new techniques to the marine environment. A more formal process would be implemented in order to allow periodic access to the surplus biomass of scallops in the Georges Bank groundfish closed areas. Fishing gear restrictions would reduce damage to EFH. Significant differences across vessels in the scallop would be addressed. Data collection and research needed to monitor the fishery would be improved. Consumer prices for scallops would decline due to increased yield. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The imposition of DAS, area closures, gear restrictions, and other controls would restrict the immediate commercial capacity of the fishery in some areas, causing short-term economic hardships for some users. Some jobs would be lost if vessels excluded from the scallop fishery did not switch to an unregulated species. Declining prices for scallops would also affect the fishing industry as a whole somewhat.

Preparation date: February 12, 2004 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE ATLANTIC SEA SCALLOP FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF MAY 1982). AN - 16356656; 10621 AB - PURPOSE: An amendment to the fishery management plan (FMP) for the sea scallop fishery of the Atlantic Ocean is proposed by the New England Fishery Management Council. The management unit consists of sea scallop resources from the shoreline to the outer boundary of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The overall objectives of the original management plan, implemented in May 1982, are to restore adult sea scallop stock abundance and age distribution; to increase yield per recruit for each stock; to evaluate plan research, development, and enforcement costs; and to minimize adverse environmental impacts on sea scallops. The goals of the amendment are to improve the FMP's ability to meet its objectives and achieve optimum yield, to update the analysis of cumulative impacts of the FMP on the human environment, and to re-revaluate the essential fish habitat (EFH) components of the FMP and minimize adverse effects on EFH. This final supplement to the final EIS of May 1982 addresses preferred alternatives, status quo and no action alternatives, and short-term management actions. The preferred alternative, which is a combination of the alternatives described, would provide for adaptive rotation having flexible rotation boundaries, with supporting surveys, data collection, and research to enable and assist with this form of management. The system could identify up to five types of scallop resource areas: 1) indefinite, long-term closures to protect sensitive and vulnerable habitat or to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 20 multi-year closures to postpone mortality on strong year classes; 3) seasonal closures to avoid unacceptable bycatch; 4) controlled access areas that would be re-opened after a scallop rotation closure; and 5) open scallop fishing areas where customary limited access and general category rules apply. Annual day-at-sea (DAS) allocations would follow current procedures, but the DAS tradeoff and/or scallop possession limits could vary by area and controlled access areas could be opened simultaneously during the fishing year. The definition of "overfishing" would change to achieve optimum yield by maximizing yield-per-recruit in areas that are open or at a future time open to scallop fishing. The alternative would also include a proposal to change the fishing year to begin on a date between July 1 and September 1. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Higher scallop yield would be achieved by the application of new techniques to the marine environment. A more formal process would be implemented in order to allow periodic access to the surplus biomass of scallops in the Georges Bank groundfish closed areas. Fishing gear restrictions would reduce damage to EFH. Significant differences across vessels in the scallop would be addressed. Data collection and research needed to monitor the fishery would be improved. Consumer prices for scallops would decline due to increased yield. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The imposition of DAS, area closures, gear restrictions, and other controls would restrict the immediate commercial capacity of the fishery in some areas, causing short-term economic hardships for some users. Some jobs would be lost if vessels excluded from the scallop fishery did not switch to an unregulated species. Declining prices for scallops would also affect the fishing industry as a whole somewhat.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - REDUCTION OF SEA TURTLE BYCATCH AND BYCATCH MORTALITY IN THE ATLANTIC PELAGIC LONGLINE FISHERY (DRAFT SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT). AN - 36351080; 10616-040062_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The adoption of a rule to reduce sea turtle bycatch and bycatch mortality in the Atlantic pelagic longline fishery is proposed. The target species are highly migratory species (HMS) inhabiting the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea; these include swordfish, Atlantic billfish, Atlantic tunas, Atlantic sharks, and other finfish. In June 2001, the National Marine Fisheries Service published a biological opinion regarding Atlantic sea turtles, concluding that the continued operation of the fishery is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the Atlantic leatherback and loggerhead sea turtles. To avoid jeopardy, the reasonable and prudent alternative outlined in the biological opinion included a closure of the Northeast Distant (NED) Statistical Reporting Area, implementation of a research program to develop or modify fishing gear, and implementation of techniques to reduce sea turtle interactions with fishing operations and mortality associated with such interactions. The opinion also included an incidental take statement (ITS) for the fishery that established incidental take levels of 438 leatherback and 402 loggerhead turtles on an annual basis. The opinion further contemplated modification or reopening of the NED on the condition that takes attributable to fishing effort in that area could be reduced sufficiently through gear and technique modifications. The NED research experiment, permitted under section 10 to the Endangered Species Act, demonstrated that significant reductions in sea turtle interactions could be achieved through the application of large circle style hooks and certain bait combinations. In December 2002, fisheries data indicated that the ITS had been exceeded for Atlantic leatherback sea turtles in 2001/2002 and for Atlantic loggerhead sea turtles in 2002. The rule, proposed in this draft supplemental EIS, would limit vessels in the Atlantic longline inasmuch as their operation affects HMS. The limitations would allow only the possession and/or use of certain hook and bait combinations, re-open the NED Statistical Reporting Area to pelagic longline fishing under specific hook and bait limitations, and require the possession and use of specific sea turtle handling and release equipment and sea turtle handing and release protocols to reduce bycatch and bycatch mortality of incidentally caught Atlantic sea turtles in the pelagic longline fishery. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By reducing bycatch and incidental catch, the regulatory amendments would improve the sustainability of the HMS species. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Certain fishery management provisions, particularly gear restrictions, could result in economic losses to fishing interests.

AN - 85374126; pmid-15000162 AB - Inhomogeneity and anisotropy are intrinsic characteristics of daytime and nighttime atmospheric turbulence. For example, turbulent eddies are often stretched in the direction of the mean wind, and the turbulence statistics depends on the height above the ground. Recent studies have shown that the log-amplitude and phase fluctuations of plane and spherical sound waves are significantly affected by turbulence inhomogeneity and anisotropy. The present paper is devoted to studies of the mean sound field and the coherence functions of plane and spherical sound waves propagating through inhomogeneous anisotropic turbulence with temperature and velocity fluctuations. These statistical moments of a sound field are important in many practical applications, e.g., for source detection, ranging, and recognition. Formulas are derived for the mean sound field and coherence function of initially arbitrary waveform. Using the latter formula, we also obtained formulas for the coherence functions of plane and spherical sound waves. All these formulas coincide with those known in the literature for two limiting cases: homogeneous isotropic turbulence with temperature and wind velocity fluctuations, and inhomogeneous anisotropic turbulence with temperature fluctuations only. Using the formulas obtained, we have numerically shown that turbulence inhomogeneity significantly affects the coherence functions of plane and spherical sound waves.

AN - 71683370; 14987705 AB - Isotopic ratio measurements of 135Cs to 137Cs were performed using both resonance ionization mass spectrometry (RIMS) and thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) to determine the chronological age of nuclear fuel burn-up samples. Initial measurements on a lake sediment sample are being performed at NIST for determination of cesium content in the sample. Atomization behavior of the graphite furnace source, the overall efficiency and selectivity were measured for different sample preparations. Single-resonance excitation 6s 2S1/2 (F=4) --> 6p 2P3/2 (F' = 5) with an extended cavity diode laser followed by photoionization with the 488nm line of an argon ion laser yielded optical selectivity for 135Cs and 137Cs of more than two orders of magnitude against stable 133Cs and overall selectivity of 10(8). An overall efficiency of 5 x 10(-7) was measured for standard 133Cs solutions and for the nuclear fuel burn-up samples.

In this method, the soil water contents are estimated as control variables that regulate the variations of soil temperatures at different depths and make the model nonbiased, while the model system noise covariance matrix is estimated by the covariance-matching technique. The method is tested with soil temperature data collected during 1-31 July 2000 from the Soil Water and Temperature System (SWATS) within the Oklahoma Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) central facilities at Lamont. The estimated soil water contents are verified against the observed values, and the rms differences are found to be small.

The turbidity of the ocean water reaches 1.4 NTU, values that are higher than in any other submarine hydrothermal system. The water is enriched in hydrothermal Mn (3.8 ppb) and (super 3) He (1X10 (super -11) cc/g) and we measured water temperature anomalies near the crater floor up to 0.2 degrees C. The hydrothermal system shows complex interactions with the ocean currents around Vailulu'u that include tidally-modulated vertical motions of about 40-50 m, and replenishment of waters into the crater through breaches in the upper half of the crater wall. Inside and outside potential density gradients suggest that hydrothermal venting exports substantial amounts of water from the crater (1.3+ or -0.2X10 (super 8) m (super 3) /day), which is in good agreement with fluxes obtained from a tracer release experiment inside the crater of Vailulu'u (0.8X10 (super 8) m (super 3) /day [Hart et al., 2003]). This mass flux, in combination with the differences in the inside and outside crater temperature, yields a power output of around 760 megawatts, the equivalent of 20-100 MOR black smokers. The Mn output of 300 kg/day is approximately ten times the output of a single black smoker.

The results are compared with in situ measurements and satellite data. An index is calculated from the model results and the satellite viewing angles to allow quantitative comparison with the Total ozone mapping spectrometer (TOMS) absorbing aerosol index. The annual budget over the different continents and oceans are analyzed. The simulated annual emission varies from a minimum of 1950 Tg in 1996 to a maximum of 2400 Tg in 1988. Of these emissions, 65% is from North Africa and 25% from Asia. It is found that North America received twice as much dust from other continents than it emits per year. There is no significant trend over the 16-year simulation. The inter-annual variability of dust distribution is analyzed over the North Atlantic and Africa. It is found that in winter a large fraction of the North Atlantic and Africa dust loading is correlated with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index. It is shown that a controlling factor of such correlation can be attributed to dust emission from the Sahel. The Bodele depression is the major dust source in winter and its inter-annual variability is highly correlated with the NAO. However, the long record of dust concentration measured at Barbados indicates that there is no correlation with the NAO index and surface concentration in winter. Longer simulation should provide the information needed to understand if the effects of the NAO on dust distribution is rather limited or Barbados is at the edge of the affected region.

Theses models in turn implicitly depend on the underlying spatial distribution of organisms. In terrestrial ecosystems, increased natural resource utilization has transformed habitat and changed the spatial distribution of organisms, with subsequent negative effects on biota. Recent studies in lakes demonstrate that human development of lakeshores alters the physical habitat and nutrient cycles. The impact of such disturbance by humans on the spatial distribution of aquatic organisms, however, remains unknown. Here we quantify the effect of lakeshore development on the spatial distribution of fishes in 23 lakes in the US Pacific Northwest. We found a significant decrease in the spatial aggregation of fishes with increased shoreline development by humans, reflecting a loss of refugia and resource heterogeneity that favors aggregation among fishes. We also found that lakes with a high perimeter-surface-area ratio and a relatively shallow littoral zone had much higher levels of fish aggregation, suggesting the importance of terrestrial inputs to lakes. Finally, we found a marginally significant decrease in fish spatial aggregation with increased total phosphorus concentration, but no effect of chlorophyll concentration, water transparency, the predator-prey ratio, or number of species on fish spatial distributions. These results suggest that anthropogenic modification of shorelines is significantly altering the spatial distribution of important aquatic organisms, and that these changes may have important implications for predictive modeling of ecosystem dynamics.

With over 100 Earth observation satellites expected to be launched during the next 10 years, it is clear that collaborative opportunities have not been fully maximized. In 2003 CEOS has been focusing on articulating a more comprehensive satellite data utilization approach and in following up on its significant involvement in the World Summit on Sustainable Development. The CEOS Chair also serves as Co-Chair of the Integrated Global Observing Strategy (IGOS) Partnership, which seeks to reduce observation gaps and unnecessary overlaps and to harmonize and integrate common interests of space-based and in situ systems. IGOS focused in 2003 on development of a number of themes, including Carbon Cycle, Water Cycle and GeoHazards. The IGOS Ocean Theme is now in its implementation phase. NOAA, while chairing CEOS and co-chairing IGOS, has also been actively involved in organizing and hosting a ministerial-level Earth Observation Summit with a follow-on Group on Earth Observations (GEO) charged with developing the framework for a comprehensive global Earth observation system(s). All these activities demonstrate the commitment to developing more coherent and sustained Earth observation strategies for the good of the planet.

Dolphins were sampled via surgical biopsy during capture-release studies near Charleston, South Carolina and Beaufort, North Carolina. Additional animals were sampled using remote biopsy techniques in estuarine waters near Charleston and from the Indian River Lagoon, Florida. Overall concentrations of major contaminant groups were found to vary between sites and mean concentrations of most OCs from male dolphins in the Indian River Lagoon were less than half of those measured from Charleston and Beaufort males. Geometric mean total PCB concentrations were 30, 27 and 14 mu g/g lipid for male dolphins sampled in Beaufort, Charleston and the Indian River Lagoon, respectively. Significant variation related to sex- and age-class, as well as geographic sampling location, was seen in the PCB congener profiles. The measured PCB concentrations, although lower than those reported for stranded animals from the 1987/1988 epizootic along the United States mid-Atlantic coast, are sufficiently high to warrant concern for the health of dolphins from the sampled populations, particularly the animals near Charleston and Beaufort.

SMURFs consisted of a 1.0x0.35 m dia. cylinder of fine mesh plastic grid that contained a folded section of larger mesh plastic grid. SMURFs collected new recruits of 20 species of fish with 92% of the individuals collected from 10 species, mostly rockfish (genus Sebastes). An experiment varying depth of SMURFs in the water column (surface, mid-depth, or bottom) showed that surface SMURFs collected the greatest diversity of species and significantly greater abundance for eight species, with two species having significantly greater abundance on mid-depth SMURFs and three species having significantly greater abundance on bottom SMURFs. A comparison of cumulated recruitment from SMURFs that varied in sampling frequency (removal of new recruits every 1-3, 7, or 28 days) suggested that increasing the time between sampling caused a significant decrease in recruitment estimates for some species but not for others. To determine how well temporal patterns of recruitment to SMURFs reflected patterns to nearby reefs, I compared within season temporal patterns of recruitment to SMURFs with that at nearby reefs, estimated by visual transect surveys conducted on scuba. Temporal patterns of recruitment to SMURFs were significantly and positively related to early recruitment on reefs for one group of benthic-algal associated rockfish species when diver surveys were lagged by 30 days (r=0.87) and for another group of canopy-algal associated rockfish species when lagged by 5 days (r=0.72). SMURFs appeared to be an effective and efficient method for indexing relative rates of delivery of competent juveniles for many temperate nearshore reef fishes.

In the east, high streamflow has increased as well. Soil wetness (as described by the Keetch-Byram Drought index) has increased over the northern and eastern regions of the United States, but in the southwestern quadrant of the country soil dryness has increased, making the region more susceptible to forest fires. In addition to these changes during the past 50 yr, increases in evaporation, near-surface humidity, total cloud cover, and low stratiform and cumulonimbus clouds have been observed. Snow cover has diminished earlier in the year in the west, and a decrease in near-surface wind speed has also occurred in many areas. Much of the increase in heavy and very heavy precipitation has occurred during the past three decades.

This is an extension of earlier work that focused on modeling the ABL for 31 May 1978 at Cabauw, Netherlands; previously, it was found that coupled land-atmosphere tests using a simple land surface scheme did not accurately represent surface fluxes and coupled ABL development. Here, findings from that earlier study on ABL parameterization are utilized, and include a more sophisticated land surface scheme. This land surface scheme allows the land-atmosphere system to respond interactively with the ABL. Results indicate that in coupled land-atmosphere model runs, realistic daytime surface fluxes and atmospheric profiles are produced, even in the presence of ABL clouds (shallow cumulus). Subsequently, the role of soil moisture in the development of ABL clouds is explored in terms of a new relative humidity tendency equation at the ABL top where a number of processes and interactions are involved. Among other issues, it is shown that decreasing soil moisture may actually lead to an increase in ABL clouds in some cases.

There are many sources of copper in urban watersheds, including residential pesticide use, vehicle brake pads, and stormwater drainage systems. It has previously been shown that copper is highly toxic to ciliated sensory neurons in fish, and the periodic transport of copper to surface waters could impair the health and survival of salmonids or other fish species that spawn in urbanized habitats. In the present study we use the zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a surrogate model to examine the effects of copper on the development and function of the lateral line system in fish. We used in vivo fluorescent imaging in combination with a vital dye (DASPEI) that stains ciliated lateral line neurons and neuromasts to examine the impacts of copper on the development of ciliated mechanosensory neurons. We find that short-term copper exposures at concentrations that are representative of urban stormwater runoff in Puget Sound streams are sufficient to induce cell death and a loss of peripheral sensory structures in developing zebrafish. Consequently, short-term exposures to copper in urban stormwater runoff may impair a sensory system that plays an essential role in orientation, schooling, and predator avoidance in salmon and other fish species.

Vegetated summer spawning beaches have been shown to have higher surf smelt embryo abundance and survival, presumably as a result of thermal stress caused by a lack of shading by vegetation. Shoreline armoring and vegetation removal are two of the most prevalent and severe anthropogenic disturbances in nearshore environments. This pilot study compares an armored, unvegetated beach with a natural, vegetated beach in terms of several physical environmental variables, total surf smelt embryo abundance, and live versus dead embryos. At a tidal height of approximately MLLW+12ft during the period of July 16-20, 2001, continuous electronic data loggers were installed on a natural beach and on an adjacent highly modified beach on the north shore of Camano Island, Washington. Data loggers recorded light intensity, humidity, and air and substrate temperature. At the end of the experimental period, five substrate samples were collected from the top 3-cm at each beach along 10-m transects parallel to shore at the site and elevation where the loggers were located. These substrate samples were preserved for later examination of surf smelt embryos. The modified, unvegetated beach had significantly lower mean relative humidity, and higher mean light intensity, air temperature, and substrate temperature. Particularly striking were differences in substrate temperature, which, on the natural beach, ranged from 12.1 degree C to 18.2 degree C with a mean of 14. degree C, and on the modified beach ranged from 12.5 degree C to 29.4 degree C with a mean of 18.5 degree C. Although not significantly different statistically, the proportion of live embryos and total embryo abundance at the altered beach were approximately half that of the natural beach. Expanded, systematic field studies combined with controlled laboratory experiments could build on this and historical information to evaluate the effects of altered shoreline habitats on surf smelt spawning habitat.

In the Georgia Basin/Puget Sound region, non-point sources of PAHs are increasing. Regional monitoring studies have detected PAHs in both marine and anadromous fish species, and a common suite of morphologic defects, including edema and dorsal curvature of the body axis, have been observed in marine and freshwater fish embryos exposed to hydrocarbons in the laboratory and in the field. However, basic mechanisms of PAH toxicity in fish embryos and larvae are still poorly understood. To address this uncertainty, we designed a study to (1) identify the tissue and molecular targets of PAHs during early developmental stages, and (2) determine which individual PAH congeners (within a complex mixture) contribute to the morphological defects that have been previously reported. These studies were conducted using the zebrafish (Danio rerio), a leading experimental system for molecular and genetic analysis of vertebrate development. Our results indicate that: (1) PAHs act on specific targets in the excitatory conduction system of the developing heart. (2) Most of the morphological defects induced by PAHs are secondary to cardiac dysfunction. (3) Dibenzothiophenes and phenanthrenes are major contributors to PAH-induced developmental toxicity.

As floodplains have been routinely isolated or impacted by adjacent land use practices, off-channel habitats have been lost. The objectives of this project are to determine the effectiveness of various off-channel habitat restoration techniques by (1) gathering and summarizing known information on off-channel salmonid production, and (2) determining what physical, biological, and hydrological features characterize the most successful projects. Based on analysis of smolt-trapping data from more than 30 off-channel sites in Washington State, we found that constructed groundwater channels were particularly productive for juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). We evaluated fish use at a set of constructed and reference groundwater channels in two geographic provinces: the North Sound and Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. Although we observed five salmonids species using these off-channel habitats, coho overwhelmingly comprised the dominant species, particularly at constructed channels. We also collected temperature, nutrient, and invertebrate data so as to evaluate the specific relationships between these site characteristics and fish use parameters. Knowledge of these relationships will help to establish future guidelines for the design and construction of off-channel habitats.

However, males can synthesize Vtg when exposed to exogenous estradiol or to substances that mimic estrogens. Thus, the abnormal production of Vtg in male animals can be used as a biomarker for exposure to estrogenic substances. In 1997 through 1999, as part of the Puget Sound Ambient Monitoring Program (PSAMP), plasma from adult male English sole from numerous urban embayments in Puget Sound were analyzed for the presence of Vtg utilizing a quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for this species. Results from the project revealed the presence of significant levels of Vtg in sole from several urban sites. Although no significant correlation was found with contaminant (e.g., PAHs, PCBs) levels in bottom sediments, the highest Vtg concentrations and greatest percentage of fish that exhibited Vtg were from sites near combined sewage overflows (CSOs). Between 2000 and 2002 the study was expanded to include several new sites and conduct follow-up surveys at several `sites of concern' to better assess the spatial and temporal trend of Vtg presence in male sole. These new results will enable us to determine the extent to which xenoestrogen exposure is occurring in Puget Sound marine fish.

The impacts of degraded water quality are a particular concern for at-risk stocks such as herring and Pacific salmon. However, detailed developmental investigations are difficult because precise staging and molecular tools have not been worked out for native species. Moreover, marine fish embryos are often difficult to obtain and rear under laboratory conditions. To address these logistical difficulties, we are using the zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model system for rapid, high throughput phenotypic screens of fish embryos and larvae. Zebrafish are an important system for biomedical research, and there is now an array of molecular and genomic tools available for developmental studies. We are adapting phenotypic screens that were originally used to identify developmental mutants to evaluate the effects of toxins and toxicants on sensitive life history stages of teleosts. These screens fall into three categories: (1) Anatomical (2) Physiological (3) Behavioral Our goal is to use zebrafish to identify specific pathways of developmental toxicity for common contaminants, and then validate the findings in native species of concern.

During harmful algal blooms, planktonic fish embryos and larvae are exposed to these dissolved toxins, yet little is known about their impacts on the developmental processes that establish the body plan and functional capacity of fish at early life history stages. Using zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model system for fish development, morphological and behavioral effects of the dinoflagellate-produced neurotoxin, saxitoxin (STX), were examined. Additionally, the effects of STX on the visual system were investigated. Gross morphological aberrations (edema of the eyes, pericardium and yolk sac, and dorsal body curvature) and functional aberrations (delayed hatching, impaired optomotor function, reduced touch response, and complete paralysis) occurred at concentrations ranging from 112 to 350 ng STX equiv. ml super(-1). To confirm STX concentrations in exposure media, samples were taken regularly throughout each experiment and STX was quantified using a receptor-binding assay. A discussion of the ecological relevancy of toxic doses and the potential implications for population and community level impacts will be presented.

We have examined the general trends for PSP in Puget Sound using forty-five years of data collected by the Washington State Department of Health (WDOH). Although the dataset has certain limitations, including the lack of consistency in number of samples and collection sites, we conclude that the approximately ten-fold increase in maximal levels of paralytic shellfish toxins is not due to increased sample frequency. Since 1978, historically unaffected areas within southern Puget Sound have experienced more frequent and intense outbreaks of PSP indicating a southward spread of toxigenic algae over the past four decades. By 1988, the first shellfish harvest closures occurred in the southern areas of Puget Sound. A combination of factors may have contributed to this geographical spread including increased urbanization and population and the movement of Alexandrium cells and/or cysts past sills from northern Puget Sound into the central and southern basins.

This is a key question for natural resource managers who must confront the complex impacts of urbanization, agricultural land uses, and industrial activities on salmon habitats in Puget Sound and the Georgia Basin. Obviously, where pollution occurs, habitat-based recovery models for salmon should address the potential significance of chemical habitat deterioration. Unfortunately, specific determinants of chemical habitat quality (i.e., water and sediment contamination) are often excluded from habitat models. This is because (1) chemical habitat quality can be very complex and expensive to measure, and (2) there is a general absence of relevant toxicological data for most of the chemicals that salmon are exposed to. In the absence of empirical data for pollution, habitat recovery plans have generally placed a higher priority on the restoration of physical processes. Critically, this practice may undervalue the importance of chemical habitat quality and lead to predictive errors in recovery planning. To address these uncertainties, we provide examples of ongoing research designed to bridge the gaps between toxicology and the implementation of conservation measures for salmon.

Rather than the traditional null hypothesis testing approach, they have adopted an approach called model selection, in which several competing hypotheses are simultaneously confronted with data. Model selection can be used to identify a single best model, thus lending support to one particular hypothesis, or it can be used to make inferences based on weighted support from a complete set of competing models. Model selection is widely accepted and well developed in certain fields, most notably in molecular systematics and mark-recapture analysis. However, it is now gaining support in several other areas, from molecular evolution to landscape ecology. Here, we outline the steps of model selection and highlight several ways that it is now being implemented. By adopting this approach, researchers in ecology and evolution will find a valuable alternative to traditional null hypothesis testing, especially when more than one hypothesis is plausible.

Mapping adult run timing (the life-history trait most commonly used to characterize salmon populations) onto a tree based on the genetic data shows that the same run-time phenotypes exist in many different genetic lineages. In a hierarchical gene diversity analysis, differences among major geographic and ecological provinces explained the majority (62%) of the overall G ST, whereas run-time differences explained only 10%. Collectively, these results indicate that run-timing diversity has developed independently by a process of parallel evolution in many different coastal areas. However, genetic differences between coastal populations with different run timing from the same basin are very modest (G ST < 0.02), indicating that evolutionary divergence of this trait linked to reproductive isolation has not led to parallel speciation, probably because of ongoing gene flow. A strikingly different pattern is seen in the interior Columbia River Basin, where run timing and other correlated life-history traits map cleanly onto two divergent genetic lineages (G ST similar to 0.15), indicating that some patterns of life-history diversity have a much older origin. Indeed, genetic data indicate that in the interior Columbia Basin, the two divergent lineages behave essentially as separate biological species, showing little evidence of genetic contact in spite of the fact that they comigrate through large areas of the river and ocean and in some locations spawn in nearly adjacent areas.

AN - 17887958; 5857915 AB - One commonly used PVA (population viability analysis) approach applies a diffusion approximation (DA) of population growth to time series of abundance data to estimate population parameters and various metrics of extinction risk. The simplest versions of this PVA assume density-independent population growth, an assumption that is commonly called into question for populations experiencing self-limitation. Using time series data generated from simulations of populations limited by three commonly used forms of density dependence (ceiling, Beverton-Holt, and Ricker) we asked the question: "When do simple density-independent PVA models provide useful guidelines for prioritizing extinction risk despite density-dependence inherent in the underlying real populations?" Simple DA methods severely underestimated maximum growth rates ( mu sub(max)) used to generate time series data for all three forms of density dependence. These methods also underestimated the intrinsic environmental variability in growth rates, or process error ( sigma super(2)), for the ceiling model, but overestimated this parameter for the Beverton-Holt and Ricker models. Despite misestimation of the intrinsic parameters, the estimated probabilities of 50% and 75% declines were highly correlated with the observed probabilities for populations growing with a ceiling (coefficients of correlation, or R super(2) = 0.87-0.93). DA methods were less accurate for populations exhibiting more complex forms of density dependence (R super(2) = 0.61-0.79). Although correlations between observed and estimated risks were high, bias (e.g., over- and underestimation) was extensive. Estimated probabilities of 50% declines were typically much lower (overly optimistic) than observed probabilities of the same decline. By contrast, accuracy increased substantially for predictions of 75% decline, and the "optimistic" bias was replaced by conservative bias (overestimates of risk). Regardless of the form of density dependence, estimates of risk were least accurate when populations were recovering rapidly but were much more accurate when most needed by conservation practitioners: when the population fluctuated near its carrying capacity, recovered slowly to this abundance level, or declined toward extinction. Finally, when we classified risk in broad categories (e.g., extremely low, low, moderate, high, and extremely high), DA methods correctly or conservatively estimated the risk of a 75% decline for >85% of the parameter combinations, regardless of the form of density dependence followed by the real population.

This is currently one of only three ozone sounding stations in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) tropics, and the only one in the equatorial Atlantic region. Paramaribo is part of the Southern Hemisphere Additional Ozone Sounding program (SHADOZ). Owing to its position close to the equator, the inter-tropical convergence zone (ITCZ) passes over Paramaribo twice per year, which results in a semi-annual seasonality of many parameters including relative humidity and ozone. The dataset from Paramaribo is used to: (1) evaluate the ozone variability relative to precipitation, atmospheric circulation patterns and biomass burning; (2) contrast ozone at the NH equatorial Atlantic with that at nearby Southern Hemisphere (SH) stations Natal (6 degree S, 35 degree W) and Ascension (8 degree S, 14 degree W); (3) compare the seasonality of tropospheric ozone with a satellite-derived ozone product: tropical tropospheric ozone columns from the modified residual method (MR-TTOC). We find that Paramaribo is a distinctly Atlantic station. Despite its position north of the equator, it resembles nearby SH stations during most of the year. Transport patterns in the lower and middle troposphere during February and March differ from SH stations, which leads to a seasonality of ozone with two maxima. MR-TTOC over Paramaribo does not match the observed seasonality of ozone due to the use of a SH ozone sonde climatology in the MR method. The Paramaribo ozone record is used to suggest an improvement for Northern Hemisphere MR-TTOC retrievals. We conclude that station Paramaribo shows unique features in the region, and clearly adds new information to the existing SHADOZ record. JF - Tellus.

[Part 19 of 54] T2 - AMENDMENT 13 TO THE NORTHEAST MULTISPECIES FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN. AN - 36360715; 10608-040054_0019 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for groundfish is proposed. The FMP was adopted in 1986 to manage key groundfish stocks from Maine to Cape Hatteras. The Species regulated under the FMP include Atlantic cod, witch flounder, American plaice, yellowtail flounder, haddock, Pollock, winter flounder, windowpane flounder, redfish, white hake, Atlantic halibut, and ocean pout. The fishery is currently managed through limitations on the number of days fished (days-at-sea), area closures, trip limits, minimum fish sizes, and gear restrictions. Although the numbers of fish of many of the 12 groundfish species, which encompass a total of 20 stocks, have increased substantially in recent years and harvest rates have gradually declined, for many stocks the rates of increase must be accelerated to comply with legislative mandates and for other stocks the harvest rate must be reduced. The stocks requiring the largest reduction in fishing mortality are Gulf of Maine cod, Georges Bank cod, Cape Cod/Gulf of Maine yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic winter flounder, white hake, and American plaice. In addition to the proposed measures, this final EIS addresses a No Action Alterative for each regulatory adjustment. Issues addressed in the proposal include the extent of the fishing year, the periodic management adjustment process, reduction of frequency of framework adjustments to existing regulations from an annual to a biennial cycle, incorporation of a US/Canada resource-sharing agreement into the FMP, administration of certified bycatch/exempted fisheries under periodic review, initiation of special access programs to allow access to stocks that are in good condition, administrative options of opening access to closed areas, the leasing of days-at-sea and means of counting days-at-sea, recreational fishing permits, modification of "running clock" stipulations used to calculate trip /possession limits, vessel monitoring system requirements, handgear permits, reporting requirements, sector allocation, and the Gulf of Maine Inshore Conservation and Management Stewardship Plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amended FMP would ensure the implementation of formal stock rebuilding programs for overfished stocks and eliminate overfishing on those stocks affected by overly intense exploitation. Excess harvest capacity would be controlled and adverse impacts on EFH would be minimized where possible. The amendment would also address administrative issues, maintain flexibility in the fishery, reduce bycatch, and minimize the impact of fishing activities on fish habitat and federally protected species, including whales and turtles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions on days-at-sea, area closures, and other regulatory limitations could result in reduced access to the fishery and the reduction of fishing efficiently, thereby subjecting some fishery operators to economic hardship.

[Part 24 of 54] T2 - AMENDMENT 13 TO THE NORTHEAST MULTISPECIES FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN. AN - 36360542; 10608-040054_0024 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for groundfish is proposed. The FMP was adopted in 1986 to manage key groundfish stocks from Maine to Cape Hatteras. The Species regulated under the FMP include Atlantic cod, witch flounder, American plaice, yellowtail flounder, haddock, Pollock, winter flounder, windowpane flounder, redfish, white hake, Atlantic halibut, and ocean pout. The fishery is currently managed through limitations on the number of days fished (days-at-sea), area closures, trip limits, minimum fish sizes, and gear restrictions. Although the numbers of fish of many of the 12 groundfish species, which encompass a total of 20 stocks, have increased substantially in recent years and harvest rates have gradually declined, for many stocks the rates of increase must be accelerated to comply with legislative mandates and for other stocks the harvest rate must be reduced. The stocks requiring the largest reduction in fishing mortality are Gulf of Maine cod, Georges Bank cod, Cape Cod/Gulf of Maine yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic winter flounder, white hake, and American plaice. In addition to the proposed measures, this final EIS addresses a No Action Alterative for each regulatory adjustment. Issues addressed in the proposal include the extent of the fishing year, the periodic management adjustment process, reduction of frequency of framework adjustments to existing regulations from an annual to a biennial cycle, incorporation of a US/Canada resource-sharing agreement into the FMP, administration of certified bycatch/exempted fisheries under periodic review, initiation of special access programs to allow access to stocks that are in good condition, administrative options of opening access to closed areas, the leasing of days-at-sea and means of counting days-at-sea, recreational fishing permits, modification of "running clock" stipulations used to calculate trip /possession limits, vessel monitoring system requirements, handgear permits, reporting requirements, sector allocation, and the Gulf of Maine Inshore Conservation and Management Stewardship Plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amended FMP would ensure the implementation of formal stock rebuilding programs for overfished stocks and eliminate overfishing on those stocks affected by overly intense exploitation. Excess harvest capacity would be controlled and adverse impacts on EFH would be minimized where possible. The amendment would also address administrative issues, maintain flexibility in the fishery, reduce bycatch, and minimize the impact of fishing activities on fish habitat and federally protected species, including whales and turtles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions on days-at-sea, area closures, and other regulatory limitations could result in reduced access to the fishery and the reduction of fishing efficiently, thereby subjecting some fishery operators to economic hardship. The costs of administering the fishery would increase with respect to some of the regulatory tasks involved.

[Part 28 of 54] T2 - AMENDMENT 13 TO THE NORTHEAST MULTISPECIES FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN. AN - 36355543; 10608-040054_0028 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for groundfish is proposed. The FMP was adopted in 1986 to manage key groundfish stocks from Maine to Cape Hatteras. The Species regulated under the FMP include Atlantic cod, witch flounder, American plaice, yellowtail flounder, haddock, Pollock, winter flounder, windowpane flounder, redfish, white hake, Atlantic halibut, and ocean pout. The fishery is currently managed through limitations on the number of days fished (days-at-sea), area closures, trip limits, minimum fish sizes, and gear restrictions. Although the numbers of fish of many of the 12 groundfish species, which encompass a total of 20 stocks, have increased substantially in recent years and harvest rates have gradually declined, for many stocks the rates of increase must be accelerated to comply with legislative mandates and for other stocks the harvest rate must be reduced. The stocks requiring the largest reduction in fishing mortality are Gulf of Maine cod, Georges Bank cod, Cape Cod/Gulf of Maine yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic winter flounder, white hake, and American plaice. In addition to the proposed measures, this final EIS addresses a No Action Alterative for each regulatory adjustment. Issues addressed in the proposal include the extent of the fishing year, the periodic management adjustment process, reduction of frequency of framework adjustments to existing regulations from an annual to a biennial cycle, incorporation of a US/Canada resource-sharing agreement into the FMP, administration of certified bycatch/exempted fisheries under periodic review, initiation of special access programs to allow access to stocks that are in good condition, administrative options of opening access to closed areas, the leasing of days-at-sea and means of counting days-at-sea, recreational fishing permits, modification of "running clock" stipulations used to calculate trip /possession limits, vessel monitoring system requirements, handgear permits, reporting requirements, sector allocation, and the Gulf of Maine Inshore Conservation and Management Stewardship Plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amended FMP would ensure the implementation of formal stock rebuilding programs for overfished stocks and eliminate overfishing on those stocks affected by overly intense exploitation. Excess harvest capacity would be controlled and adverse impacts on EFH would be minimized where possible. The amendment would also address administrative issues, maintain flexibility in the fishery, reduce bycatch, and minimize the impact of fishing activities on fish habitat and federally protected species, including whales and turtles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions on days-at-sea, area closures, and other regulatory limitations could result in reduced access to the fishery and the reduction of fishing efficiently, thereby subjecting some fishery operators to economic hardship. The costs of administering the fishery would increase with respect to some of the regulatory tasks involved.

[Part 35 of 54] T2 - AMENDMENT 13 TO THE NORTHEAST MULTISPECIES FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN. AN - 36354924; 10608-040054_0035 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for groundfish is proposed. The FMP was adopted in 1986 to manage key groundfish stocks from Maine to Cape Hatteras. The Species regulated under the FMP include Atlantic cod, witch flounder, American plaice, yellowtail flounder, haddock, Pollock, winter flounder, windowpane flounder, redfish, white hake, Atlantic halibut, and ocean pout. The fishery is currently managed through limitations on the number of days fished (days-at-sea), area closures, trip limits, minimum fish sizes, and gear restrictions. Although the numbers of fish of many of the 12 groundfish species, which encompass a total of 20 stocks, have increased substantially in recent years and harvest rates have gradually declined, for many stocks the rates of increase must be accelerated to comply with legislative mandates and for other stocks the harvest rate must be reduced. The stocks requiring the largest reduction in fishing mortality are Gulf of Maine cod, Georges Bank cod, Cape Cod/Gulf of Maine yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic winter flounder, white hake, and American plaice. In addition to the proposed measures, this final EIS addresses a No Action Alterative for each regulatory adjustment. Issues addressed in the proposal include the extent of the fishing year, the periodic management adjustment process, reduction of frequency of framework adjustments to existing regulations from an annual to a biennial cycle, incorporation of a US/Canada resource-sharing agreement into the FMP, administration of certified bycatch/exempted fisheries under periodic review, initiation of special access programs to allow access to stocks that are in good condition, administrative options of opening access to closed areas, the leasing of days-at-sea and means of counting days-at-sea, recreational fishing permits, modification of "running clock" stipulations used to calculate trip /possession limits, vessel monitoring system requirements, handgear permits, reporting requirements, sector allocation, and the Gulf of Maine Inshore Conservation and Management Stewardship Plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amended FMP would ensure the implementation of formal stock rebuilding programs for overfished stocks and eliminate overfishing on those stocks affected by overly intense exploitation. Excess harvest capacity would be controlled and adverse impacts on EFH would be minimized where possible. The amendment would also address administrative issues, maintain flexibility in the fishery, reduce bycatch, and minimize the impact of fishing activities on fish habitat and federally protected species, including whales and turtles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions on days-at-sea, area closures, and other regulatory limitations could result in reduced access to the fishery and the reduction of fishing efficiently, thereby subjecting some fishery operators to economic hardship. The costs of administering the fishery would increase with respect to some of the regulatory tasks involved.

[Part 18 of 54] T2 - AMENDMENT 13 TO THE NORTHEAST MULTISPECIES FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN. AN - 36352491; 10608-040054_0018 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for groundfish is proposed. The FMP was adopted in 1986 to manage key groundfish stocks from Maine to Cape Hatteras. The Species regulated under the FMP include Atlantic cod, witch flounder, American plaice, yellowtail flounder, haddock, Pollock, winter flounder, windowpane flounder, redfish, white hake, Atlantic halibut, and ocean pout. The fishery is currently managed through limitations on the number of days fished (days-at-sea), area closures, trip limits, minimum fish sizes, and gear restrictions. Although the numbers of fish of many of the 12 groundfish species, which encompass a total of 20 stocks, have increased substantially in recent years and harvest rates have gradually declined, for many stocks the rates of increase must be accelerated to comply with legislative mandates and for other stocks the harvest rate must be reduced. The stocks requiring the largest reduction in fishing mortality are Gulf of Maine cod, Georges Bank cod, Cape Cod/Gulf of Maine yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic winter flounder, white hake, and American plaice. In addition to the proposed measures, this final EIS addresses a No Action Alterative for each regulatory adjustment. Issues addressed in the proposal include the extent of the fishing year, the periodic management adjustment process, reduction of frequency of framework adjustments to existing regulations from an annual to a biennial cycle, incorporation of a US/Canada resource-sharing agreement into the FMP, administration of certified bycatch/exempted fisheries under periodic review, initiation of special access programs to allow access to stocks that are in good condition, administrative options of opening access to closed areas, the leasing of days-at-sea and means of counting days-at-sea, recreational fishing permits, modification of "running clock" stipulations used to calculate trip /possession limits, vessel monitoring system requirements, handgear permits, reporting requirements, sector allocation, and the Gulf of Maine Inshore Conservation and Management Stewardship Plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amended FMP would ensure the implementation of formal stock rebuilding programs for overfished stocks and eliminate overfishing on those stocks affected by overly intense exploitation. Excess harvest capacity would be controlled and adverse impacts on EFH would be minimized where possible. The amendment would also address administrative issues, maintain flexibility in the fishery, reduce bycatch, and minimize the impact of fishing activities on fish habitat and federally protected species, including whales and turtles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions on days-at-sea, area closures, and other regulatory limitations could result in reduced access to the fishery and the reduction of fishing efficiently, thereby subjecting some fishery operators to economic hardship. The costs of administering the fishery would increase with respect to some of the regulatory tasks involved.

[Part 25 of 54] T2 - AMENDMENT 13 TO THE NORTHEAST MULTISPECIES FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN. AN - 36352119; 10608-040054_0025 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for groundfish is proposed. The FMP was adopted in 1986 to manage key groundfish stocks from Maine to Cape Hatteras. The Species regulated under the FMP include Atlantic cod, witch flounder, American plaice, yellowtail flounder, haddock, Pollock, winter flounder, windowpane flounder, redfish, white hake, Atlantic halibut, and ocean pout. The fishery is currently managed through limitations on the number of days fished (days-at-sea), area closures, trip limits, minimum fish sizes, and gear restrictions. Although the numbers of fish of many of the 12 groundfish species, which encompass a total of 20 stocks, have increased substantially in recent years and harvest rates have gradually declined, for many stocks the rates of increase must be accelerated to comply with legislative mandates and for other stocks the harvest rate must be reduced. The stocks requiring the largest reduction in fishing mortality are Gulf of Maine cod, Georges Bank cod, Cape Cod/Gulf of Maine yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic winter flounder, white hake, and American plaice. In addition to the proposed measures, this final EIS addresses a No Action Alterative for each regulatory adjustment. Issues addressed in the proposal include the extent of the fishing year, the periodic management adjustment process, reduction of frequency of framework adjustments to existing regulations from an annual to a biennial cycle, incorporation of a US/Canada resource-sharing agreement into the FMP, administration of certified bycatch/exempted fisheries under periodic review, initiation of special access programs to allow access to stocks that are in good condition, administrative options of opening access to closed areas, the leasing of days-at-sea and means of counting days-at-sea, recreational fishing permits, modification of "running clock" stipulations used to calculate trip /possession limits, vessel monitoring system requirements, handgear permits, reporting requirements, sector allocation, and the Gulf of Maine Inshore Conservation and Management Stewardship Plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amended FMP would ensure the implementation of formal stock rebuilding programs for overfished stocks and eliminate overfishing on those stocks affected by overly intense exploitation. Excess harvest capacity would be controlled and adverse impacts on EFH would be minimized where possible. The amendment would also address administrative issues, maintain flexibility in the fishery, reduce bycatch, and minimize the impact of fishing activities on fish habitat and federally protected species, including whales and turtles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions on days-at-sea, area closures, and other regulatory limitations could result in reduced access to the fishery and the reduction of fishing efficiently, thereby subjecting some fishery operators to economic hardship. The costs of administering the fishery would increase with respect to some of the regulatory tasks involved.

[Part 8 of 54] T2 - AMENDMENT 13 TO THE NORTHEAST MULTISPECIES FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN. AN - 36351713; 10608-040054_0008 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for groundfish is proposed. The FMP was adopted in 1986 to manage key groundfish stocks from Maine to Cape Hatteras. The Species regulated under the FMP include Atlantic cod, witch flounder, American plaice, yellowtail flounder, haddock, Pollock, winter flounder, windowpane flounder, redfish, white hake, Atlantic halibut, and ocean pout. The fishery is currently managed through limitations on the number of days fished (days-at-sea), area closures, trip limits, minimum fish sizes, and gear restrictions. Although the numbers of fish of many of the 12 groundfish species, which encompass a total of 20 stocks, have increased substantially in recent years and harvest rates have gradually declined, for many stocks the rates of increase must be accelerated to comply with legislative mandates and for other stocks the harvest rate must be reduced. The stocks requiring the largest reduction in fishing mortality are Gulf of Maine cod, Georges Bank cod, Cape Cod/Gulf of Maine yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic winter flounder, white hake, and American plaice. In addition to the proposed measures, this final EIS addresses a No Action Alterative for each regulatory adjustment. Issues addressed in the proposal include the extent of the fishing year, the periodic management adjustment process, reduction of frequency of framework adjustments to existing regulations from an annual to a biennial cycle, incorporation of a US/Canada resource-sharing agreement into the FMP, administration of certified bycatch/exempted fisheries under periodic review, initiation of special access programs to allow access to stocks that are in good condition, administrative options of opening access to closed areas, the leasing of days-at-sea and means of counting days-at-sea, recreational fishing permits, modification of "running clock" stipulations used to calculate trip /possession limits, vessel monitoring system requirements, handgear permits, reporting requirements, sector allocation, and the Gulf of Maine Inshore Conservation and Management Stewardship Plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amended FMP would ensure the implementation of formal stock rebuilding programs for overfished stocks and eliminate overfishing on those stocks affected by overly intense exploitation. Excess harvest capacity would be controlled and adverse impacts on EFH would be minimized where possible. The amendment would also address administrative issues, maintain flexibility in the fishery, reduce bycatch, and minimize the impact of fishing activities on fish habitat and federally protected species, including whales and turtles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions on days-at-sea, area closures, and other regulatory limitations could result in reduced access to the fishery and the reduction of fishing efficiently, thereby subjecting some fishery operators to economic hardship. The costs of administering the fishery would increase with respect to some of the regulatory tasks involved.

[Part 9 of 54] T2 - AMENDMENT 13 TO THE NORTHEAST MULTISPECIES FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN. AN - 36350854; 10608-040054_0009 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for groundfish is proposed. The FMP was adopted in 1986 to manage key groundfish stocks from Maine to Cape Hatteras. The Species regulated under the FMP include Atlantic cod, witch flounder, American plaice, yellowtail flounder, haddock, Pollock, winter flounder, windowpane flounder, redfish, white hake, Atlantic halibut, and ocean pout. The fishery is currently managed through limitations on the number of days fished (days-at-sea), area closures, trip limits, minimum fish sizes, and gear restrictions. Although the numbers of fish of many of the 12 groundfish species, which encompass a total of 20 stocks, have increased substantially in recent years and harvest rates have gradually declined, for many stocks the rates of increase must be accelerated to comply with legislative mandates and for other stocks the harvest rate must be reduced. The stocks requiring the largest reduction in fishing mortality are Gulf of Maine cod, Georges Bank cod, Cape Cod/Gulf of Maine yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic winter flounder, white hake, and American plaice. In addition to the proposed measures, this final EIS addresses a No Action Alterative for each regulatory adjustment. Issues addressed in the proposal include the extent of the fishing year, the periodic management adjustment process, reduction of frequency of framework adjustments to existing regulations from an annual to a biennial cycle, incorporation of a US/Canada resource-sharing agreement into the FMP, administration of certified bycatch/exempted fisheries under periodic review, initiation of special access programs to allow access to stocks that are in good condition, administrative options of opening access to closed areas, the leasing of days-at-sea and means of counting days-at-sea, recreational fishing permits, modification of "running clock" stipulations used to calculate trip /possession limits, vessel monitoring system requirements, handgear permits, reporting requirements, sector allocation, and the Gulf of Maine Inshore Conservation and Management Stewardship Plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amended FMP would ensure the implementation of formal stock rebuilding programs for overfished stocks and eliminate overfishing on those stocks affected by overly intense exploitation. Excess harvest capacity would be controlled and adverse impacts on EFH would be minimized where possible. The amendment would also address administrative issues, maintain flexibility in the fishery, reduce bycatch, and minimize the impact of fishing activities on fish habitat and federally protected species, including whales and turtles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions on days-at-sea, area closures, and other regulatory limitations could result in reduced access to the fishery and the reduction of fishing efficiently, thereby subjecting some fishery operators to economic hardship. The costs of administering the fishery would increase with respect to some of the regulatory tasks involved.

[Part 29 of 54] T2 - AMENDMENT 13 TO THE NORTHEAST MULTISPECIES FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN. AN - 36350086; 10608-040054_0029 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for groundfish is proposed. The FMP was adopted in 1986 to manage key groundfish stocks from Maine to Cape Hatteras. The Species regulated under the FMP include Atlantic cod, witch flounder, American plaice, yellowtail flounder, haddock, Pollock, winter flounder, windowpane flounder, redfish, white hake, Atlantic halibut, and ocean pout. The fishery is currently managed through limitations on the number of days fished (days-at-sea), area closures, trip limits, minimum fish sizes, and gear restrictions. Although the numbers of fish of many of the 12 groundfish species, which encompass a total of 20 stocks, have increased substantially in recent years and harvest rates have gradually declined, for many stocks the rates of increase must be accelerated to comply with legislative mandates and for other stocks the harvest rate must be reduced. The stocks requiring the largest reduction in fishing mortality are Gulf of Maine cod, Georges Bank cod, Cape Cod/Gulf of Maine yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic winter flounder, white hake, and American plaice. In addition to the proposed measures, this final EIS addresses a No Action Alterative for each regulatory adjustment. Issues addressed in the proposal include the extent of the fishing year, the periodic management adjustment process, reduction of frequency of framework adjustments to existing regulations from an annual to a biennial cycle, incorporation of a US/Canada resource-sharing agreement into the FMP, administration of certified bycatch/exempted fisheries under periodic review, initiation of special access programs to allow access to stocks that are in good condition, administrative options of opening access to closed areas, the leasing of days-at-sea and means of counting days-at-sea, recreational fishing permits, modification of "running clock" stipulations used to calculate trip /possession limits, vessel monitoring system requirements, handgear permits, reporting requirements, sector allocation, and the Gulf of Maine Inshore Conservation and Management Stewardship Plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amended FMP would ensure the implementation of formal stock rebuilding programs for overfished stocks and eliminate overfishing on those stocks affected by overly intense exploitation. Excess harvest capacity would be controlled and adverse impacts on EFH would be minimized where possible. The amendment would also address administrative issues, maintain flexibility in the fishery, reduce bycatch, and minimize the impact of fishing activities on fish habitat and federally protected species, including whales and turtles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions on days-at-sea, area closures, and other regulatory limitations could result in reduced access to the fishery and the reduction of fishing efficiently, thereby subjecting some fishery operators to economic hardship. The costs of administering the fishery would increase with respect to some of the regulatory tasks involved.

[Part 22 of 54] T2 - AMENDMENT 13 TO THE NORTHEAST MULTISPECIES FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN. AN - 36348853; 10608-040054_0022 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for groundfish is proposed. The FMP was adopted in 1986 to manage key groundfish stocks from Maine to Cape Hatteras. The Species regulated under the FMP include Atlantic cod, witch flounder, American plaice, yellowtail flounder, haddock, Pollock, winter flounder, windowpane flounder, redfish, white hake, Atlantic halibut, and ocean pout. The fishery is currently managed through limitations on the number of days fished (days-at-sea), area closures, trip limits, minimum fish sizes, and gear restrictions. Although the numbers of fish of many of the 12 groundfish species, which encompass a total of 20 stocks, have increased substantially in recent years and harvest rates have gradually declined, for many stocks the rates of increase must be accelerated to comply with legislative mandates and for other stocks the harvest rate must be reduced. The stocks requiring the largest reduction in fishing mortality are Gulf of Maine cod, Georges Bank cod, Cape Cod/Gulf of Maine yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic yellowtail flounder, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic winter flounder, white hake, and American plaice. In addition to the proposed measures, this final EIS addresses a No Action Alterative for each regulatory adjustment. Issues addressed in the proposal include the extent of the fishing year, the periodic management adjustment process, reduction of frequency of framework adjustments to existing regulations from an annual to a biennial cycle, incorporation of a US/Canada resource-sharing agreement into the FMP, administration of certified bycatch/exempted fisheries under periodic review, initiation of special access programs to allow access to stocks that are in good condition, administrative options of opening access to closed areas, the leasing of days-at-sea and means of counting days-at-sea, recreational fishing permits, modification of "running clock" stipulations used to calculate trip /possession limits, vessel monitoring system requirements, handgear permits, reporting requirements, sector allocation, and the Gulf of Maine Inshore Conservation and Management Stewardship Plan. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amended FMP would ensure the implementation of formal stock rebuilding programs for overfished stocks and eliminate overfishing on those stocks affected by overly intense exploitation. Excess harvest capacity would be controlled and adverse impacts on EFH would be minimized where possible. The amendment would also address administrative issues, maintain flexibility in the fishery, reduce bycatch, and minimize the impact of fishing activities on fish habitat and federally protected species, including whales and turtles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions on days-at-sea, area closures, and other regulatory limitations could result in reduced access to the fishery and the reduction of fishing efficiently, thereby subjecting some fishery operators to economic hardship. The costs of administering the fishery would increase with respect to some of the regulatory tasks involved.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - AMENDMENT OF THE REEF FISH FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN TO SET RED SNAPPER SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES ACT TARGETS AND THRESHOLDS, SET A REBUILDINIG PLAN, AND ESTABLISH BYCATCH REPORTING METHODOLOGIES FOR THE REEF FISY FISHERY. AN - 900615870; 10595-0_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the reef fishery management plan (FMP) for the Gulf of Mexico is proposed to set Sustainable Fisheries Act targets and thresholds and to establish a rebuilding plan. In May 2001, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council submitted a regulatory amendment to th8e National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for the reef fish FMP to set a red snapper rebuilding plan through 2032. In July 2002, the NMFS determined that the regulatory amendment would have reasonable foreseeable significant adverse impacts on the shrimp and, potentially, on the directed snapper fisheries. Hence, the NMFS recommended that the Council develop a supplemental EIS to analyze current and additional rebuilding alternatives n greater detail. Based on federal agency guidance, it was suggested that federal red snapper criteria and the rebuilding plan would be best addressed in an amendment to the Reef Fish FMP, rather than via a regulatory amendment. Additionally, federal law also requires that fishery management plans establish a standard methodology to assess the amount and type of bycatch occurring in the fishery and to limit bycatch. Five alternatives addressing biological reference points and status criteria, five alternatives addressing rebuilding of the fishery are considered in this draft EIS, six alternatives addressing bycatch reporting methodologies for commercial and recreational for-hire fisheries, and three alternatives addressing the private recreational fishery. In each case, a No Action Alternative and a preferred alternative is identified. With respect to biological reference points and status criteria, the preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would establish formulas for the maximum sustainable yield, optimum yield, minimum stock size threshold, and maximum fish mortality threshold for red snapper. With respect to rebuilding of the fishery, the preferred alternative would maintain the TAC so as to rebuild the snapper fishery by 2032; the FMP would be reviewed and adjusted through periodic five-year assessments and annual lands would be monitored to ensure that the quota was not exceeded. In each case, a preferred alternative has been identified. In addition, bycatch minimization measures would be established. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amendment would alter the FMP to allow review and redefinition of biological reference points and status determination criteria, to establish a rebuilding schedule and plan that would be consistent with current fishery management standards, to establish a standardized methodology to collect by catch information for the fishery, and to evaluate the practicability of additional measures to reduce bycatch and bycatch mortality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Once the stock was rebuild, operation of the amended FMP could result in damage to the physical and biological environments by fishing gear. Conservative stock parameters could result in economic losses to fishery operators due to foregone yield, and regulatory measures could increase fishing costs. Additional administrative effort would be required under any action alternative as status criteria changes occur based on new information gathered for the red snapper stock. Red snapper bycatch in other fisheries might have to be addressed.

Preparation date: January 23, 2004 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - TRACTEBEL CALYPSO PIPELINE PROJECT, FREEPORT, BAHAMAS TO FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA. AN - 36433255; 10591 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a natural gas pipeline and associated aboveground facilities to transport gas from a point near Freeport in the Bahamas to a point near Fort Lauderdale, Florida are proposed. The pipeline system would transport 832,000 dekatherms (832 million cubic feet) per day of natural gas to new markets in south Florida. The southeastern Florida region is expected to experience significant population growth over the next 10 years, requiring an increase in electric generation capacity, much of which is to be provided by gas-fired generators. The south Florida region is expected to experience significant population growth over the next 10 years, requiring an increase in electric generation capacity, much of which is to be provided by gas-fired generators. The facilities would provide for a 90-mile pipeline system extending from a liquefied natural gas import/export terminal near Freeport to a receipt point near Fort Lauderdale. The portion of the pipeline under US jurisdiction and, therefore, addressed in this EIS, would extend 36 miles from the US/Bahama Exclusive Economic Zone boundary to a shore approach near Port Everglades in Broward County. The pipeline would then proceed 6.5 miles overland to an interconnect with the Florida Gas Transmission Company's Lauderdale Lateral Pipeline near the Florida Power and Light's (FPL) Fort Lauderdale Power Plant. The jurisdictional portion of this project would also include construction and operation of two block valves and one meter and pressure regulation station/block valve. This draft EIS also considers a No Action Alternative, project system alternatives, pipeline route alternatives, and route variations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new pipeline system would provided much needed natural gas capacity and supply to meet the needs of FPL in south Florida, allowing FPL to satisfy the electric power demand of its end-users. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project facilities would require setting aside approximately 900 acres, more than 800 acres of which would be associated with the 200-foot-wide rights-of-way typically authorized for offshore pipelines at depths of greater than 200 feet. The actual area of deepwater disturbance would be limited to the footprint of the 24-inch-diameter pipeline. Construction of the shallower portion of the pipeline in marine waters would affect approximately 7.2 acres extending from the shoreline to a depth of 200 feet. Long-term impacts in the nearshore habitat would affect less than 0.3 acre of live bottom habitat. Construction of onshore facilities would affect 72.7 acres of land in Broward County, Florida; of this affected area, 43.7 acres would be impacted by activities within the pipeline rights-of-way, 1.6 acres by construction of aboveground facilities, and 27.4 acres by extra workspaces, pipeline storage yards, and contractor yards. Permanent onshore impact would affect 7.9 acres. A total of 24 commercial structures would lie within 50 feet of the construction rights-of-way. Four waterbodies would be crossed, including two major waterbodies and two minor waterboeies. Construction activities would disturb less than 0.1 acre of wetland vegetation; there would be no permanent wetland impacts. Small areas of nearshore marine habitat would be impacted. Essential fish habitat, including coral reef, seagrass, and estuarine habitat, could be affected. Five state-listed protected species could be affected.

Preparation date: January 23, 2004 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - AMENDMENT OF THE REEF FISH FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN TO SET RED SNAPPER SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES ACT TARGETS AND THRESHOLDS, SET A REBUILDINIG PLAN, AND ESTABLISH BYCATCH REPORTING METHODOLOGIES FOR THE REEF FISY FISHERY. AN - 36418944; 10595 AB - PURPOSE: The amendment of the reef fishery management plan (FMP) for the Gulf of Mexico is proposed to set Sustainable Fisheries Act targets and thresholds and to establish a rebuilding plan. In May 2001, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council submitted a regulatory amendment to th8e National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for the reef fish FMP to set a red snapper rebuilding plan through 2032. In July 2002, the NMFS determined that the regulatory amendment would have reasonable foreseeable significant adverse impacts on the shrimp and, potentially, on the directed snapper fisheries. Hence, the NMFS recommended that the Council develop a supplemental EIS to analyze current and additional rebuilding alternatives n greater detail. Based on federal agency guidance, it was suggested that federal red snapper criteria and the rebuilding plan would be best addressed in an amendment to the Reef Fish FMP, rather than via a regulatory amendment. Additionally, federal law also requires that fishery management plans establish a standard methodology to assess the amount and type of bycatch occurring in the fishery and to limit bycatch. Five alternatives addressing biological reference points and status criteria, five alternatives addressing rebuilding of the fishery are considered in this draft EIS, six alternatives addressing bycatch reporting methodologies for commercial and recreational for-hire fisheries, and three alternatives addressing the private recreational fishery. In each case, a No Action Alternative and a preferred alternative is identified. With respect to biological reference points and status criteria, the preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would establish formulas for the maximum sustainable yield, optimum yield, minimum stock size threshold, and maximum fish mortality threshold for red snapper. With respect to rebuilding of the fishery, the preferred alternative would maintain the TAC so as to rebuild the snapper fishery by 2032; the FMP would be reviewed and adjusted through periodic five-year assessments and annual lands would be monitored to ensure that the quota was not exceeded. In each case, a preferred alternative has been identified. In addition, bycatch minimization measures would be established. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The amendment would alter the FMP to allow review and redefinition of biological reference points and status determination criteria, to establish a rebuilding schedule and plan that would be consistent with current fishery management standards, to establish a standardized methodology to collect by catch information for the fishery, and to evaluate the practicability of additional measures to reduce bycatch and bycatch mortality. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Once the stock was rebuild, operation of the amended FMP could result in damage to the physical and biological environments by fishing gear. Conservative stock parameters could result in economic losses to fishery operators due to foregone yield, and regulatory measures could increase fishing costs. Additional administrative effort would be required under any action alternative as status criteria changes occur based on new information gathered for the red snapper stock. Red snapper bycatch in other fisheries might have to be addressed.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - TRACTEBEL CALYPSO PIPELINE PROJECT, FREEPORT, BAHAMAS TO FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA. AN - 36350543; 10591-040036_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction and operation of a natural gas pipeline and associated aboveground facilities to transport gas from a point near Freeport in the Bahamas to a point near Fort Lauderdale, Florida are proposed. The pipeline system would transport 832,000 dekatherms (832 million cubic feet) per day of natural gas to new markets in south Florida. The southeastern Florida region is expected to experience significant population growth over the next 10 years, requiring an increase in electric generation capacity, much of which is to be provided by gas-fired generators. The south Florida region is expected to experience significant population growth over the next 10 years, requiring an increase in electric generation capacity, much of which is to be provided by gas-fired generators. The facilities would provide for a 90-mile pipeline system extending from a liquefied natural gas import/export terminal near Freeport to a receipt point near Fort Lauderdale. The portion of the pipeline under US jurisdiction and, therefore, addressed in this EIS, would extend 36 miles from the US/Bahama Exclusive Economic Zone boundary to a shore approach near Port Everglades in Broward County. The pipeline would then proceed 6.5 miles overland to an interconnect with the Florida Gas Transmission Company's Lauderdale Lateral Pipeline near the Florida Power and Light's (FPL) Fort Lauderdale Power Plant. The jurisdictional portion of this project would also include construction and operation of two block valves and one meter and pressure regulation station/block valve. This draft EIS also considers a No Action Alternative, project system alternatives, pipeline route alternatives, and route variations. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The new pipeline system would provided much needed natural gas capacity and supply to meet the needs of FPL in south Florida, allowing FPL to satisfy the electric power demand of its end-users. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Project facilities would require setting aside approximately 900 acres, more than 800 acres of which would be associated with the 200-foot-wide rights-of-way typically authorized for offshore pipelines at depths of greater than 200 feet. The actual area of deepwater disturbance would be limited to the footprint of the 24-inch-diameter pipeline. Construction of the shallower portion of the pipeline in marine waters would affect approximately 7.2 acres extending from the shoreline to a depth of 200 feet. Long-term impacts in the nearshore habitat would affect less than 0.3 acre of live bottom habitat. Construction of onshore facilities would affect 72.7 acres of land in Broward County, Florida; of this affected area, 43.7 acres would be impacted by activities within the pipeline rights-of-way, 1.6 acres by construction of aboveground facilities, and 27.4 acres by extra workspaces, pipeline storage yards, and contractor yards. Permanent onshore impact would affect 7.9 acres. A total of 24 commercial structures would lie within 50 feet of the construction rights-of-way. Four waterbodies would be crossed, including two major waterbodies and two minor waterboeies. Construction activities would disturb less than 0.1 acre of wetland vegetation; there would be no permanent wetland impacts. Small areas of nearshore marine habitat would be impacted. Essential fish habitat, including coral reef, seagrass, and estuarine habitat, could be affected. Five state-listed protected species could be affected. Cultural resource surveys have been conducted along the pipeline route, and construction would be deferred until all the results of these surveys and the related mitigation plans, if any, were forwarded.

At temperatures lower than 202 kelvin, RH sub(i) values show a sharp increase to average values of over 130% in both cloud types. These enhanced RH sub(i) values are attributed to the presence of a new class of HNO sub(3)-containing ice particles ([Delta]-ice). We propose that surface HNO sub(3) molecules prevent the ice/vapor system from reaching equilibrium by a mechanism similar to that of freezing point depression by antifreeze proteins. [Delta]-ice represents a new link between global climate and natural and anthropogenic nitrogen oxide emissions. Including [Delta]-ice in climate models will alter simulated cirrus properties and the distribution of upper tropospheric water vapor.

AN - 16367443; 10577 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a management plan for the pelagic fisheries of the western Pacific region, The plan would cover pelagic fisheries within the territorial waters of American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and several western Pacific islands and atolls that are U.S. possessions under direct federal jurisdiction. More specifically, the fisheries falling within the scope of the plan would include the longline fisheries in Hawaii and American Samoa, commercial troll fisheries in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam and the CNMI, and the commercial pole-and-line skipjack fishery in Hawaii. This draft supplement to the final EIS of March 2001 addresses means of achieving optimum yield from the affected fisheries without jeopardizing the continued existence of sea turtles or other endangered species. The range of alternatives under consideration includes time/area closures as well as implementation of a limited model shallow-set sword fishery using circle hools? with mackerel bait which, in combination, have been found to reduce interactions with leatherback and loggerhead turtles by 67 percent and 92 percent, respectively, in U.S. Atlantic fishery. In addition, this supplement considers conservation actions to improve sea turtle recruitment and, thereby, offset any potential harm the operation of the fisheries could continue to pose to sea turtles. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 7), are considered in this supplement. The preferred alternative (Alternative 4) would allow 2,120 model swordfish sets annually, in conjunction with tuna fishing with no time/area closures. Other stipulations would cover Hawaii-based longline vessels to adhere to limitations on fishing effort, area closures, reporting and notification requirements, and fishing gear requirements. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The management plan would help ensure the sustainability of the fishery, reduce gear conflicts, and protect non-fishery species, including threatened species, particularly sea turtles. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Gear restrictions and area closures would result in economic hardships for some vessel operators and their employees.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - ACCEPTABLE BIOLOGICAL CATCH AND OPTIMUM YIELD SPECIFICATIONS AND MANAGEMENT MEASURES FOR THE 2004 PACIFIC COAST GROUNDFISH FISHERY. AN - 36351596; 10568-040011_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of fishery specifications and management measures, within the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery management plan (FMP) for the 2004 fishery is proposed. The FMP covers the groundfish fishery within the Exclusive Economic Zone off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California. The FMP establishes a framework authorizing the range and type of measures that may be used to manage groundfish fisheries, enumerates 18 objectives that management measures must satisfy, and describes more specific criteria for determining the level of harvest that will provide the greatest overall benefit to the nation, also know as optimum yield (OY). Fisheries subject to management measures include limited entry trawl fisheries, limited entry fixed gear (pot and Longline) fisheries, and a variety of other fisheries catching groundside, either as target species or incidentally, but not license limited under the management framework established in the groundfish FMP. Allocations to tribal fisheries in Washington State are also identified. To date, nine groundfish species have been declared overfished by the Secretary of Commerce, and measures to prevent overfishing and rebuild these overfished stocks would be the central element of the proposed action. The proposal at hand would specify acceptable biological catch (ABC) and OY values for species and species complexes in the fishery management unit and establish management measures for 2004 within the context of past management provisions and the long-term sustainability of managed fish stocks. Harvest specifications for 2004 would include new harvest levels for species with new stock assessments and re-established harvest levels for species with stock assessments completed in prior years. Harvest guidelines would address groundfish species, species groups, and geographic subunits. In order to constrain fisheries to these harvest guidelines, management measures for commercial and recreational fisheries include two-month cumulative landing limits for species, species groups, and geographic subunits for limited entry trawl and fixed gear sectors, and fisheries not license limited under the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan, as well as gear restrictions to reduce bycatch of overfished species and reduce habitat impacts. Long-term management programs, such as capacity reduction programs, are not developed as part of the annual management process but rather in separate deliberations. Management measures could be modified in 2003 so that total fishing mortality is at the OYs identified in the preferred alternative. Three management issues were considered when developing the alternatives under consideration: 1) alternative harvest levels for 11 species or species complexes; (2) allocation of catch sharing among different fishing interest groups, including commercial fishing interest, Native American tribe members, and recreationists, for each stock; and 3) management of the limited entry trawl fishery as a two-platoon system, with each platoon of fishing vessels alternating its time at sea. Five alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, which would perpetuate the existing OY using measures enforced during the 2003 calendar year, are considered in this final EIS. The alternative preferred by the Pacific Fishery Management Council would defer selection of a 2004 OY for Pacific whiting until March 2004, when a new stock assessment would be available and prior to the most intense fishing for whiting (May through August). Regarding other stocks, OYs would be 57 metric tons (mt) for Canary rockfish, 250 mt for bocaccio, and a complex, geographic and depth-based system for determination of the OY for darkblotched rockfish. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would constrain commercial and recreational harvests during 2004 to levels that would ensure groundfish stocks were maintained at, or restored to, sizes and structures that would result in the highest net benefit to the nation, while attending to the affected environmental and social values. Recreational access to the fishery and the quality of recreational fishing would improve substantially, NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though overall income from the fishery would increase, ABC limits could result in some economic hardships for some users of the fishery, and operator costs could increase somewhat. Fishing activities could impair adjacent fisheries to some extent.

Preparation date: January 9, 2004 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - ACCEPTABLE BIOLOGICAL CATCH AND OPTIMUM YIELD SPECIFICATIONS AND MANAGEMENT MEASURES FOR THE 2004 PACIFIC COAST GROUNDFISH FISHERY. AN - 16368638; 10568 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of fishery specifications and management measures, within the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery management plan (FMP) for the 2004 fishery is proposed. The FMP covers the groundfish fishery within the Exclusive Economic Zone off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California. The FMP establishes a framework authorizing the range and type of measures that may be used to manage groundfish fisheries, enumerates 18 objectives that management measures must satisfy, and describes more specific criteria for determining the level of harvest that will provide the greatest overall benefit to the nation, also know as optimum yield (OY). Fisheries subject to management measures include limited entry trawl fisheries, limited entry fixed gear (pot and Longline) fisheries, and a variety of other fisheries catching groundside, either as target species or incidentally, but not license limited under the management framework established in the groundfish FMP. Allocations to tribal fisheries in Washington State are also identified. To date, nine groundfish species have been declared overfished by the Secretary of Commerce, and measures to prevent overfishing and rebuild these overfished stocks would be the central element of the proposed action. The proposal at hand would specify acceptable biological catch (ABC) and OY values for species and species complexes in the fishery management unit and establish management measures for 2004 within the context of past management provisions and the long-term sustainability of managed fish stocks. Harvest specifications for 2004 would include new harvest levels for species with new stock assessments and re-established harvest levels for species with stock assessments completed in prior years. Harvest guidelines would address groundfish species, species groups, and geographic subunits. In order to constrain fisheries to these harvest guidelines, management measures for commercial and recreational fisheries include two-month cumulative landing limits for species, species groups, and geographic subunits for limited entry trawl and fixed gear sectors, and fisheries not license limited under the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan, as well as gear restrictions to reduce bycatch of overfished species and reduce habitat impacts. Long-term management programs, such as capacity reduction programs, are not developed as part of the annual management process but rather in separate deliberations. Management measures could be modified in 2003 so that total fishing mortality is at the OYs identified in the preferred alternative. Three management issues were considered when developing the alternatives under consideration: 1) alternative harvest levels for 11 species or species complexes; (2) allocation of catch sharing among different fishing interest groups, including commercial fishing interest, Native American tribe members, and recreationists, for each stock; and 3) management of the limited entry trawl fishery as a two-platoon system, with each platoon of fishing vessels alternating its time at sea. Five alternatives, including the No Action Alternative, which would perpetuate the existing OY using measures enforced during the 2003 calendar year, are considered in this final EIS. The alternative preferred by the Pacific Fishery Management Council would defer selection of a 2004 OY for Pacific whiting until March 2004, when a new stock assessment would be available and prior to the most intense fishing for whiting (May through August). Regarding other stocks, OYs would be 57 metric tons (mt) for Canary rockfish, 250 mt for bocaccio, and a complex, geographic and depth-based system for determination of the OY for darkblotched rockfish. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The proposed action would constrain commercial and recreational harvests during 2004 to levels that would ensure groundfish stocks were maintained at, or restored to, sizes and structures that would result in the highest net benefit to the nation, while attending to the affected environmental and social values. Recreational access to the fishery and the quality of recreational fishing would improve substantially, NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Though overall income from the fishery would increase, ABC limits could result in some economic hardships for some users of the fishery, and operator costs could increase somewhat. Fishing activities could impair adjacent fisheries to some extent. Though operational efficiency for recreational charterboat operators would generally increase, it would decrease in northern California in some areas.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - PACIFIC SALMON FISHERIES MANAGEMENT OFF THE COASTS OF SOUTHEAST ALASKA, WASHINGTON, OREGON, AND CALIFORNIA, AND IN THE COLUMBIA RIVER BASIN. AN - 898669967; 10561-4_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The review of fishery management plans (FMPs) for salmon fisheries off the coasts of southeast Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California, and in the Columbia River basin is proposed in this programmatic final EIS. The causes of salmon population declines in the study areas are manifold and are rarely, if ever, solely a result of harvest impacts. The plan described in this document represents an attempt to provide fishery review flexibility and to provide an overview of fishing management methods and strategies that could be implemented as part of the annual FMP process planning. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would perpetuate the existing FMP regimes, are considered in this final EIS. Alternative 2 would reduce Chinook non-retention fisheries in southeastern Alaska. With respect to Pacific Coast fisheries, Alternative 2 would also maximize the duration of sport fishing seasons and the value of commercial harvest while meeting conservation standards or meet or exceed conservation objectives while approximating the fishing opportunity under the current FMP regime. With respect to the Columbia River basin, Alternative 2 would either allow harvesting of surpluses of naturally spawning unmarked fish in areas where the abundance of federally protected species is low or prohibit the harvest of surpluses of naturally spawning fish. With respect to the southeast Alaska fishery, Alternative 3 would close all commercial troll and recreational salmon fisheries, with the exception of terminal area experimental fisheries and foregoing Alaska hatchery runs and leave the gillnet and purse seine fisheries directed at sockeye, chum, pink, and Coho salmon open. With respect to the Pacific Coast and Columbia River fisheries, Alternative 3 would allow no incidental take or salmon and close the fishery. For the Southeast Alaska, Pacific Coast, and Columbia River fisheries, respectively, the preferred alternatives are Alternative 1, Alternative 2, and Alternative 2, though option adjustments would be made for the latter two fisheries. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The planning effort would seek to protect salmonid resources, seek to maximize long-term socioeconomic benefits, and meet national treaty obligations to Native American tribes. Restrictions on fishing would allow stocks of federally protected and other species to revive, protecting the economic, social, and cultural value of the fisheries. Restrictions would also result in increased fishing effort relative to catch in some areas. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Restrictions on fishing would result in socioeconomic hardships for some fishing communities, including Native American communities. Removal of restrictions would result in decreases of salmonid populations, including populations of federally protected species of salmon.

AN - 36354112; 10563-040006_0029 AB - PURPOSE: Identification of essential fish habitat (EFH) and implementation of associated conservation measures through amendment of fishery management plans (FMPs) for Alaskan fisheries are proposed. The FMPs to be amended include those addressing the groundfish fishery of the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands, groundfish fishery of the Gulf of Alaska, king and tanner crab fisheries of the Bering Sea /Aleutian Islands, scallop fishery off the Alaskan coast, and salmon fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone off the Alaskan coast. This draft EIS addresses alternative actions with respect to three actions: 1) describing and identifying EFH for fisheries management by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (six alternatives); 2) adopting an approach for the Council to identify habitat areas of particular concern within EFA (five alternatives); and 3) minimizing to the extent practicable the adverse effects of Council-managed fishing within EFH (seven alternatives). Each action considered could be addressed by a No Action Alternative. Most of the controversy surrounding the level of protection needed for EFH concerns the impacts of fishing activities on sea floor habitats. Substantial differences of opinion exist as to the extent and significance of habitat alteration caused by bottom trawling and other fishing activities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The analysis incorporated into this EIS indicates that the effects on EFH of fishing activities undertaken at the current levels and those allowed under the FMP amendments would be minimal NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Bottom trawling and other fishing activities could have long-term impacts on benthic habitat features off Alaska. Considerable scientific uncertainty remains regarding the consequences of habitat changes for sustained productivity of the managed species. Impact areas addressed in the EIS include those associated with habitat, target species, economic and socioeconomic aspects of the federally managed fisheries, other fisheries and fishery resources, protected resources, including birds, marine mammals, and federally protected salmonids, ecosystems and biodiversity, and non-fishing activities.

AN - 36352681; 10563-040006_0002 AB - PURPOSE: Identification of essential fish habitat (EFH) and implementation of associated conservation measures through amendment of fishery management plans (FMPs) for Alaskan fisheries are proposed. The FMPs to be amended include those addressing the groundfish fishery of the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands, groundfish fishery of the Gulf of Alaska, king and tanner crab fisheries of the Bering Sea /Aleutian Islands, scallop fishery off the Alaskan coast, and salmon fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone off the Alaskan coast. This draft EIS addresses alternative actions with respect to three actions: 1) describing and identifying EFH for fisheries management by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (six alternatives); 2) adopting an approach for the Council to identify habitat areas of particular concern within EFA (five alternatives); and 3) minimizing to the extent practicable the adverse effects of Council-managed fishing within EFH (seven alternatives). Each action considered could be addressed by a No Action Alternative. Most of the controversy surrounding the level of protection needed for EFH concerns the impacts of fishing activities on sea floor habitats. Substantial differences of opinion exist as to the extent and significance of habitat alteration caused by bottom trawling and other fishing activities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The analysis incorporated into this EIS indicates that the effects on EFH of fishing activities undertaken at the current levels and those allowed under the FMP amendments would be minimal NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Bottom trawling and other fishing activities could have long-term impacts on benthic habitat features off Alaska. Considerable scientific uncertainty remains regarding the consequences of habitat changes for sustained productivity of the managed species. Impact areas addressed in the EIS include those associated with habitat, target species, economic and socioeconomic aspects of the federally managed fisheries, other fisheries and fishery resources, protected resources, including birds, marine mammals, and federally protected salmonids, ecosystems and biodiversity, and non-fishing activities.

AN - 36350759; 10563-040006_0005 AB - PURPOSE: Identification of essential fish habitat (EFH) and implementation of associated conservation measures through amendment of fishery management plans (FMPs) for Alaskan fisheries are proposed. The FMPs to be amended include those addressing the groundfish fishery of the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands, groundfish fishery of the Gulf of Alaska, king and tanner crab fisheries of the Bering Sea /Aleutian Islands, scallop fishery off the Alaskan coast, and salmon fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone off the Alaskan coast. This draft EIS addresses alternative actions with respect to three actions: 1) describing and identifying EFH for fisheries management by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (six alternatives); 2) adopting an approach for the Council to identify habitat areas of particular concern within EFA (five alternatives); and 3) minimizing to the extent practicable the adverse effects of Council-managed fishing within EFH (seven alternatives). Each action considered could be addressed by a No Action Alternative. Most of the controversy surrounding the level of protection needed for EFH concerns the impacts of fishing activities on sea floor habitats. Substantial differences of opinion exist as to the extent and significance of habitat alteration caused by bottom trawling and other fishing activities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The analysis incorporated into this EIS indicates that the effects on EFH of fishing activities undertaken at the current levels and those allowed under the FMP amendments would be minimal NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Bottom trawling and other fishing activities could have long-term impacts on benthic habitat features off Alaska. Considerable scientific uncertainty remains regarding the consequences of habitat changes for sustained productivity of the managed species. Impact areas addressed in the EIS include those associated with habitat, target species, economic and socioeconomic aspects of the federally managed fisheries, other fisheries and fishery resources, protected resources, including birds, marine mammals, and federally protected salmonids, ecosystems and biodiversity, and non-fishing activities.

AN - 36349615; 10563-040006_0030 AB - PURPOSE: Identification of essential fish habitat (EFH) and implementation of associated conservation measures through amendment of fishery management plans (FMPs) for Alaskan fisheries are proposed. The FMPs to be amended include those addressing the groundfish fishery of the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands, groundfish fishery of the Gulf of Alaska, king and tanner crab fisheries of the Bering Sea /Aleutian Islands, scallop fishery off the Alaskan coast, and salmon fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone off the Alaskan coast. This draft EIS addresses alternative actions with respect to three actions: 1) describing and identifying EFH for fisheries management by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (six alternatives); 2) adopting an approach for the Council to identify habitat areas of particular concern within EFA (five alternatives); and 3) minimizing to the extent practicable the adverse effects of Council-managed fishing within EFH (seven alternatives). Each action considered could be addressed by a No Action Alternative. Most of the controversy surrounding the level of protection needed for EFH concerns the impacts of fishing activities on sea floor habitats. Substantial differences of opinion exist as to the extent and significance of habitat alteration caused by bottom trawling and other fishing activities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The analysis incorporated into this EIS indicates that the effects on EFH of fishing activities undertaken at the current levels and those allowed under the FMP amendments would be minimal NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Bottom trawling and other fishing activities could have long-term impacts on benthic habitat features off Alaska. Considerable scientific uncertainty remains regarding the consequences of habitat changes for sustained productivity of the managed species. Impact areas addressed in the EIS include those associated with habitat, target species, economic and socioeconomic aspects of the federally managed fisheries, other fisheries and fishery resources, protected resources, including birds, marine mammals, and federally protected salmonids, ecosystems and biodiversity, and non-fishing activities.

AN - 36348362; 10563-040006_0039 AB - PURPOSE: Identification of essential fish habitat (EFH) and implementation of associated conservation measures through amendment of fishery management plans (FMPs) for Alaskan fisheries are proposed. The FMPs to be amended include those addressing the groundfish fishery of the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands, groundfish fishery of the Gulf of Alaska, king and tanner crab fisheries of the Bering Sea /Aleutian Islands, scallop fishery off the Alaskan coast, and salmon fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone off the Alaskan coast. This draft EIS addresses alternative actions with respect to three actions: 1) describing and identifying EFH for fisheries management by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (six alternatives); 2) adopting an approach for the Council to identify habitat areas of particular concern within EFA (five alternatives); and 3) minimizing to the extent practicable the adverse effects of Council-managed fishing within EFH (seven alternatives). Each action considered could be addressed by a No Action Alternative. Most of the controversy surrounding the level of protection needed for EFH concerns the impacts of fishing activities on sea floor habitats. Substantial differences of opinion exist as to the extent and significance of habitat alteration caused by bottom trawling and other fishing activities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The analysis incorporated into this EIS indicates that the effects on EFH of fishing activities undertaken at the current levels and those allowed under the FMP amendments would be minimal NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Bottom trawling and other fishing activities could have long-term impacts on benthic habitat features off Alaska. Considerable scientific uncertainty remains regarding the consequences of habitat changes for sustained productivity of the managed species. Impact areas addressed in the EIS include those associated with habitat, target species, economic and socioeconomic aspects of the federally managed fisheries, other fisheries and fishery resources, protected resources, including birds, marine mammals, and federally protected salmonids, ecosystems and biodiversity, and non-fishing activities.

AN - 36347698; 10563-040006_0032 AB - PURPOSE: Identification of essential fish habitat (EFH) and implementation of associated conservation measures through amendment of fishery management plans (FMPs) for Alaskan fisheries are proposed. The FMPs to be amended include those addressing the groundfish fishery of the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands, groundfish fishery of the Gulf of Alaska, king and tanner crab fisheries of the Bering Sea /Aleutian Islands, scallop fishery off the Alaskan coast, and salmon fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone off the Alaskan coast. This draft EIS addresses alternative actions with respect to three actions: 1) describing and identifying EFH for fisheries management by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (six alternatives); 2) adopting an approach for the Council to identify habitat areas of particular concern within EFA (five alternatives); and 3) minimizing to the extent practicable the adverse effects of Council-managed fishing within EFH (seven alternatives). Each action considered could be addressed by a No Action Alternative. Most of the controversy surrounding the level of protection needed for EFH concerns the impacts of fishing activities on sea floor habitats. Substantial differences of opinion exist as to the extent and significance of habitat alteration caused by bottom trawling and other fishing activities. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The analysis incorporated into this EIS indicates that the effects on EFH of fishing activities undertaken at the current levels and those allowed under the FMP amendments would be minimal NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Bottom trawling and other fishing activities could have long-term impacts on benthic habitat features off Alaska. Considerable scientific uncertainty remains regarding the consequences of habitat changes for sustained productivity of the managed species. Impact areas addressed in the EIS include those associated with habitat, target species, economic and socioeconomic aspects of the federally managed fisheries, other fisheries and fishery resources, protected resources, including birds, marine mammals, and federally protected salmonids, ecosystems and biodiversity, and non-fishing activities.

AN - 85371805; pmid-14759002 AB - Inhomogeneity and anisotropy are intrinsic characteristics of daytime and nighttime turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer. In the present paper, line-of-sight sound propagation through inhomogeneous, anisotropic turbulence with temperature and velocity fluctuations is considered. Starting from a parabolic equation and using the Markov approximation, formulas are derived for the correlation functions and variances of log-amplitude and phase fluctuations of a spherical sound wave. These statistical moments of a sound field are important for many practical applications in atmospheric acoustics. The derived formulas for the correlation functions and variances generalize those already known in the literature for two limiting cases: (a) homogeneous, isotropic turbulence, and (b) inhomogeneous, anisotropic turbulence with temperature fluctuations only. Furthermore, the formulas differ from those for the case of plane wave propagation. Using the derived formulas and Mann's spectral tensor of velocity fluctuations for shear-driven turbulence, the correlation functions and variances of log-amplitude and phase fluctuations are studied numerically. The results obtained clearly show that turbulence inhomogeneity and anisotropy significantly affect sound propagation in the atmosphere.

AN - 80177507; 14974714 AB - One of the major technical challenges in calculating solar irradiance on the human form has been the complexity of the surface geometry (i.e. the surface-normal vis-a-vis the incident radiation). Over 80% of skin cancers occur on the face, head, neck and back of the hands. The quantification, as well as the mapping of the anatomical distribution of solar radiation on the human form, is essential if we are to study the etiology of skin cancers or cataracts or immune system suppression. Using advances in computer graphics, including high-resolution three-dimensional mathematical representations of the human form, the calculation of irradiance has been attained to subcentimeter precision. Lighting detail included partitioning of direct beam and diffuse skylight, shadowing effects and gradations of model surface illumination depending on model surface geometry and incident light angle. With the incorporation of ray-tracing and irradiance algorithms, the results are not only realistic renderings but also accurate representations of the distribution of light on the subject model. The calculation of light illumination at various receptor points across the anatomy provides information about differential radiant exposure as a function of subject posture, orientation relative to the sun and sun elevation. The integration of a geodesic sun-tracking model into the lighting module enabled simulation of specific sun exposure scenarios, with instantaneous irradiance, as well as the cumulative radiant exposure, calculated for a given latitude, date, time of day and duration. Illustration of instantaneous irradiance or cumulative radiant exposure is achieved using a false-color rendering--mapping light intensity to color--creating irradiance or exposure isopleths. This approach may find application in the determination of the reduction in exposure that one achieves by wearing a hat, shirt or sunglasses. More fundamentally, such an analysis tool could provide improved estimates of scenario-specific dose (i.e. absorbed radiant exposure) needed to develop dose-response functions for sunlight-induced disease.

How does a product affect global warming, smog, fossil fuel depletion, and human toxicity? How about its costs over time? Building for Environmental and Economic Sustainability (BEES) addresses these questions by measuring the life-cycle environmental and economic performance of construction products. Used by thousands of designers worldwide, BEES measures environmental performance using the life-cycle assessment approach specified in the ISO 14040 series of standards. All stages in the life of a product are analyzed: raw material acquisition, manufacture, transportation, installation, use, and recycling and waste management. Twelve environmental impacts are assessed: global warming, acidification, eutrophication, fossil fuel depletion, indoor air quality, habitat alteration, smog, ozone depletion, ecological toxicity, human health, criteria air pollutants, and water intake. Economic performance is measured using the American Society for Testing and Materials, International (ASTM) standard life-cycle cost method, which covers the costs of initial investment, replacement, operation, maintenance and repair, and disposal. Environmental performance and economic performance are combined into an overall performance measure using the ASTM standard for Multiattribute Decision Analysis. The paper will explain the BEES approach and illustrate its application to alternative concrete products with and without supplementary cementitious materials.

Evans has said, "Environmental Literacy is critical to enable learners of all ages to pursue knowledge, produce advanced products, and enhance personal growth." The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recognizes it has a role and a responsibility to the nation in advancing education leading to such a literate society. In order to effectively carry out this work, NOAA recently established an Office of Education and Sustainable Development (OESD) and an Education Council. Their role is to lead NOAA in articulating, assessing and sustaining a comprehensive education program directly supporting the Agency's mission. The Council is comprised of representatives across NOAA, including members from programs with long-standing education mandates. OESD and the Education Council were assigned the critical task of creating a Plan for Education to move the Agency to the forefront of environmental literacy efforts. This Plan builds on existing efforts and provides a basis for strategic investment of resources. It is based on a multi-level approach and serves many constituents and partners at national, regional and local levels. The Plan is the product of a network within NOAA, in collaboration with external partners, and is consistent with national efforts. The planning effort incorporates external evaluation and review. Upon its adoption, it will be implemented in a phased approach. NOAA's Plan for Education outlines the vision and scope necessary to address exponential increases in society's information needs and bring the riches of NOAA data and information to all learners.

Samples were combusted at a low temperature (400 degrees C) and then at 900 degrees C. The CO (sub 2) was collected separately for both combustions and analyzed. The goal of this work was to develop a methodology to improve the accuracy of (super 14) C dating of sediment by combusting at a lower temperature and reducing the amount of reworked carbon bound to clay minerals in the sample material. The (super 14) C fraction modern results for the low and high temperature fractions of these sediments were compared with well-defined (super 137) Cs determinations made on sediment taken from the same cores. Comparison of "bomb curves" for (super 14) C and (super 137) Cs indicate that low temperature combustion of sediment improved the accuracy of (super 14) C dating of the sediment. However, fraction modern results for the low temperature fractions were depressed compared to atmospheric values for the same time frame, possibly the result of carbon mixing and the low sedimentation rate in the lake system.

In 1988, critical habitat for monk seals was designated as the emergent land, lagoon waters, and ocean waters out to a depth of 20 fathoms (37 m) around breeding islands (excluding the main Hawaiian Islands) and Maro Reef. In 1991, a Protected Species Zone was established out to 50 nautical miles from the islands and the corridors between islands. There are six main reproductive populations of Hawaiian monk seals in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI): French Frigate Shoals (FFS), Laysan Island, Lisianski Island, Pearl and Hermes Reef, Midway Atoll, and Kure Atoll. Smaller numbers are present on Necker Island and Nihoa Island and on the main Hawaiian Islands.

Held in La Jolla, California on February 19-20, 2004 AN - 19663192; 8932298 AB - This workshop was organized to provide background information needed by NOAA for developing a research program that will address issues of anthropogenic sound in the worlds oceans. Experts from the Navy, academic research institutions, industry, and within NOAA were brought together at the NOAA Fisheries, Southwest Fisheries Science Center, La Jolla, CA on 19-20 February, 2004 to review ongoing and planned acoustic research on anthropogenic sound, both within and outside NOAA.

Report of the NOAA Fisheries National Task Force for Improving Marine Mammal and Turtle Stock Assessments AN - 19466805; 8017871 AB - Under the mandates of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA), NOAA fisheries must regularly evaluate the status of protected species, specifically marine mammal and turtle species. In addition, these laws prohibit the taking of protected species unless a specific exception, usually granted through a permit or authorization, is made for a particular activity that may affect any protected species. The plan provided here is designed to provide the basis for improving NOAA Fisheries' protected species stock assessments. The plan explicitly identifies the attributes of a stock assessment that make it reliable, and enumerates NOAA fisheries' goals for the protected species stock assessment program in terms of present research capability and capacity, and delineates the resources necessary to acquire reliable assessment information. Finally, the plan describes reasonable expectations from the assessment program given current levels of effort and support, and highlights the resource gap between FY03 levels of program effort and the levels required to fully meet the NOAA Fisheries' legislative mandates.

Species presence and abundance data were examined within ranges of habitat quality variables to reveal normalized habitat tolerance characteristics for 54 species found in nontidal streams of Maryland. Development of a fish habitat tolerance index (FHTI) provided information on the overall susceptibility of individual species to habitat degradation. Designations of intolerant, moderately intolerant, and tolerant were assigned to all species individually and compared across three regional strata (Coastal Plain, Eastern Piedmont, Highlands). Family Cyprinidae (minnows) contributed the five most intolerant species. Omnivores and invertivores contributed the top 10% of species, showing general intolerance to declining habitat quality. Candidate fish habitat metrics derived from FHTI values were evaluated and compared with selected core metrics to assess the utility of the index for inclusion in the Maryland fish index of biotic integrity (IBI). Classification efficiency (CE) testing of approximately 12 candidate metrics revealed significant discrimination between IBI reference (minimally affected) and degraded stream site locations. Highest CEs among candidate fish habitat metrics were equivalent or higher than CEs obtained for metrics used in the current version of the Maryland fish IBI. Metric performance suggested that physical habitat tolerance indices have significant potential to improve accuracy and effectiveness of existing regional fish IBIs in the mid-Atlantic region.

Over the past 5 years we have conducted research to characterize the developmental physiology of natural and hatchery-reared wild progeny spring Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha in the Yakima River basin. Fish were sampled at the main hatchery in Cle Elum, at remote acclimation sites, and, during smolt migration, at downstream dams. Throughout these studies, we characterized the maturational state of all fish using combinations of visual and histological analyses of testes, computation of gonadosomatic indices, and measurement of plasma 11- ketotestosterone (11-KT). We established that a plasma 11-KT threshold of 0.8 ng/mL can be used to designate male fish as either immature or precociously maturing approximately 8 months prior to final maturation (1-2 months prior to release as 'smolts'). Our analyses revealed that 37-49% of the hatchery-reared males from this program undergo precocious maturation at 2 years of age and that a portion of these fish appear to residualize in the upper Yakima River basin throughout the summer. An unnaturally high incidence of precocious male maturation may result in the loss of returning anadromous adults, the skewing of female : male sex ratios, and ecological and genetic impacts on wild populations and other native species. As precocious male maturation is significantly influenced by the growth rate at specific times of year, in future studies we will alter maturation rates through seasonal growth rate manipulations.

Because the tidal range is so large along the U.S. West Coast, the tides and other sea level variations have a signi.cant e.ect on tsunami runup heights and inundation. For this reason, Houston and Garcia (1978) used predicted tides when computing the 100- and 500- year tsunami runup heights for the previous tsunami Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs).

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Effects of Hurricane Isabel on Water Levels Data Report AN - 1521397850; 8020053 AB - Hurricane Isabel was the most powerful hurricane of the 2003 season and the first hurricane to make landfall on the east coast of the United States since 1999. After coming ashore on the Outer Banks of North Carolina on 18 September as a Category 2 hurricane, Isabel took a northward track through Virginia, causing high winds, storm surge flooding, and extensive property damage, especially to the electric power delivery network, throughout the Chesapeake Bay region. Isabel also had a significant impact on the Delaware River and Bay. The remnants of Isabel crossed Lake Erie late on 19 September setting up a wind-driven oscillation on the lake. The water level stations of the Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (COOPS) recorded varying responses along the coastal ocean, bays, estuaries, and rivers of the U.S. east coast and the Great Lakes caused by the passage of Hurricane Isabel. Thirty coastal stations from Wilmington, NC to Sandy Hook, NJ were strongly affected by the storm and produced water level data from the primary or the backup sensor. Five stations were destroyed by storm surge and two stations experienced an unrecoverable loss of data during the storm. Many of the CO-OPS water level stations collected meteorological data (air temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction) and water temperature during the storm. CO-OPS also had a current meter deployed at a site in mid-Chesapeake Bay during this period which recorded wave and current data throughout the water column, echo amplitudes from backscattering particles in the water column, pressures, and bottom water temperatures.

The Atlantic longline fleet is defined as a Category I fishery under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and it is also the subject of management concerns under the Endangered Species Act due to interactions with marine turtles including leatherback and loggerhead turtles. Using data from the pelagic longline fishery observer program and a mandatory fishery logbook reporting program, total bycatch of marine mammals and turtles in the longline fishery was estimated for the year 2003. A delta- lognormal approach was applied to estimate region specific and total annual interactions and mortality for the fishery.

N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Review of Relative Fitness of Hatchery and Natural Salmon AN - 1521397438; 8017865 AB - To determine the status of natural anadromous salmonid populations with respect to the Endangered Species Act, the viability of these populations must be estimated. Deriving natural population viability estimates is made more difficult by the presence of hatchery-produced anadromous salmonids, which occur in large numbers throughout the Columbia River basin. First, in some cases the number or fraction of the population that represents hatchery fish may be unknown, either due to lack of monitoring or inadequate marking of hatchery fish. Second, even in cases where the number or fraction of hatchery fish is known, it is necessary to know or estimate the relative fitness of the hatchery fish compared to the natural fish in order to estimate the natural productivity of the population. The objectives of this technical memorandum are to summarize information on the relative fitness of hatchery and natural Pacific (Oncorhynchus spp.) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), steelhead (O. mykiss), and brown trout (S. trutta), and to determine if there are any general patterns relating the origin and history of hatchery stocks to their relative fitness. Part of the motivation was to provide information that would be useful in updating the 2000 Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) Biological Opinion. Since that biological opinion was written, numerous additional studies on the relative fitness of hatchery fish have been published in both the peer-reviewed and gray literature.

Absence of Congressional guidance on how to interpret the terms used in the statutory definitions of these categories has left the task of defining them to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and NOAA Fisheries (National Marine Fisheries Service), which are the Federal agencies responsible for listing and delisting species under the ESA. To date, neither of these agencies has developed uniform guidelines for listing, reclassifying, or delisting species. The lack of uniform guidelines for listing decisions has led to consistencies and inequities in the listing process. For example, Appendix 1 reviews the lessons learned from USFWS's experience in implementing the Act. NOAA Fisheries responded to this problem by establishing a Steering Committee and a Quantitative Working Group (QWG) to work toward developing quantitative procedures that will make listing decisions 'more transparent, consistent, and scientifically and legally defensible.' The QWG offers the present report as a possible roadmap by which NOAA Fisheries could eventually develop uniform guidelines for listing, reclassifying, or delisting species.

NTIS Prices: PC A06/MF A02 N1 - Last updated - 2016-05-27 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Status Review of Southern Resident Killer Whales ('Orcinus orca') under the Endangered Species Act, 2004 AN - 1521395910; 8017864 AB - In May and June of each year since 1973/74, the Center for Whale Research, Friday Harbor, Washington, has taken photographs that identify every Southern Resident individual. As a result, the annual survey amounts to a census of the entire population. This census allows a detailed examination of the population dynamics of the Southern Resident community, including the survival and fecundity of individual animals of known age. In 1974 the population comprised 71 whales, whereas the most recent census in the summer of 2003 counted 83 whales, representing an overall annual increase of 0.4% per year. However, the population has fluctuated considerably over the 29 years of the study Using the maximum recorded population size of 97 animals in 1996, the Southern Resident killer whale population declined by 2% per year between 1996 and 2003. Large differences exist in survival rates of Southern Residents among different age and sex categories. Reproductive-age females had the highest survival rate, followed by juveniles, post- reproductive-age females, and young males. Calves and old males had the lowest survival rates. In addition, there have also been large changes in survival rates through time for all age and sex categories. Survival has shifted from relatively high levels in the 1970s, to low levels in the early 1980s, to high levels again in the late 1980s and early 1990s, then returned to low levels through 2000. Survival rates improved in 2001 and 2002, but they were not as high as in previous periods of relatively high survival.
