TY - JOUR T1 - Effects of polymerization initiator complexation in methacrylated beta-cyclodextrin formulations. 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 - 66664663; 15225563 AB - Since oviparous fishes mobilize fat stores to produce eggs, we investigated the potential for deposition of gonadal ciguatoxins to the oil laden yolk sacs which nourish developing embryos, and characterized the effects of these toxins on finfish development. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ( capital sigma PCBs), capital sigma DDTs, capital sigma chlordanes, dieldrin, and mirex were determined in 44 fat biopsies and 48 blood samples. Blood concentrations of capital 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 capital 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 capital 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 ( arrow up blood urea nitrogen, arrow down albumin:globulin ratio), carbohydrate ( arrow down glucose), and ion ( arrow up sodium, arrow down 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.

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.

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.

AN - 36373095; 10847-040296_0011 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.

AN - 36367603; 10847-040296_0003 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 - 905874105; 10845-4_0002 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.

Preparation date: June 18, 2004 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - SEAGRASS RESTORATION IN THE FLORIDA KEYS NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY. AN - 16359133; 10839 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.

This study examined both atrazine uptake and cellular characteristics of microalgae to determine if either can be used to predict algal sensitivity. Standard toxicity tests were performed on five microalgal species, each representing a different algal division or habitat. Test species listed in order of increasing sensitivity were: Isochrysis galbana, Dunaliella tertiolecta, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, and Synechococcus sp. Each species was exposed to super(14)C-atrazine at its growth rate EC50 concentration (44-91 mu g /L). At five time-points over 96h, samples were filtered to collect algae and washed with unlabeled atrazine to displace labeled atrazine loosely absorbed to the cell surface. Radioactivity present on filters and in the growth medium was measured by liquid scintillation counting. Relationships between algal species-sensitivity to atrazine and compound uptake, cell dry weight, cell volume, and cell surface area were determined by linear regression analysis. Cell size measurements (based on dry weight, biovolume, and surface area) were significantly correlated with atrazine uptake (R super(2)>0.45, P-value 0.05). There was a significant correlation between atrazine uptake and species-sensitivity to atrazine (R super(2)=0.5413, P-value = 0.0012). These results indicate that smaller cells with greater surface area to volume ratios will incorporate more atrazine, and in general, will be more sensitive to atrazine exposure. However, I. galbana, with small cell size and relatively high atrazine uptake was the least sensitive species tested. This species and others may have mechanisms to compensate for atrazine stress that make predicting responses of microalgal communities difficult.

Numerical classification (cluster analysis) of stations resulted in 14 distinct site groups that reflected discernible habitatrelated patterns in species distributions. Multiple discriminant analysis, performed on synoptic abiotic variables (depth, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, percent silt-clay), showed that the separation of site groups was related primarily to salinity. Percent silt-clay had a secondary influence on the separation of sites within similar salinity zones. Species diversity among site groups generally decreased with decreasing salinity and increasing mud content of sediment. Nodal analysis showed a wide range in constancy and fidelity of species assemblages within site groups. Some assemblages dominated by euryhaline species had no particular affinity with any one site group. The strongest affinities, as evidenced by high values of both constancy and fidelity, were displayed by an assemblage of oligochaetes, insect larvae, gammaridean amphipods, and the clamCorbicula fluminea in tidal freshwater muds; and an assemblage of haustoriid amphipods, the bivalveDonax variabilis, the polychaeteParaonis fulgens, and unidentified echinoids at high-salinity sites in outer Pamlico Sound near ocean inlets. A series of stations with impaired benthic assemblages in polluted habitats emerged from the cluster analysis and was distinguishable from other site groups that reflected a greater influence of natural controlling factors (such as salinity and sediment type) on species distributions. These results suggest that the interaction of both anthropogenic and natural environmental controlling factors is important in defining the structure of these infaunal assemblages.

To characterize habitats along the estuarine gradient, we measured several abiotic and biotic variables concurrently with gillnet sampling. Juvenile (age-0 and age-1+) bluefish were captured regularly during both years along with large numbers of Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus), which were confirmed by diet analyses to be bluefish's primary forage species. The date of initial appearance of age-0 bluefish and menhaden in the estuary varied between years and may have been related to interannual differences in seawater temperatures on the continental shelf during spring. Delayed estuarine arrival of prey fishes may have contributed to variability in bluefish diets between years. Within the estuary, bluefish spatial distribution were consistent across seasons and years: bluefish were most common in areas associated with high concentrations of suspended materials and the presence of menhaden. Community analyses also indicated habitat overlap between bluefish and menhaden. Spatial distribution patterns revealed the consistent occurrence of piscivorous bluefish in shallow estuarine habitats that retained suspended materials and aggregated prey fishes. Foraging success of bluefish and other estuarine piscivores may be closely linked with the availability of these productive habitat, highlighting the need for future study of biological interactions and the governing physical processes.

An assessment of its causes and consequences concluded that the almost 3-fold increase in nitrogen load to the Gulf is the primary external driver stimulating the increase in hypoxia since the middle of the last century. Results from three very different models are compared to reach the consensus that large-sclae hypoxia likely did not start in the Gulf of Mexico until the mid-1970s and that the 30% nitrogen load reduction called for in an Action Plant to reduce hypoxia, agreed to by a federal, state, and tribal task force, may not be sufficient to reach the plan's goal. Caution is also raised for setting resource management goals without considering the long-term consequences of climate variability and change.

AN - 80162294; 14967519 AB - Natural loss of hydrocarbons was often low from mussel (Mytilus trossulus) beds (which were typically not cleaned after the Exxon Valdez oil spill), thus this habitat remained a long-term source of oil. 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. Our results suggest mussel relocation is feasible but suggest oil might more effectively be removed from sediment mechanically or chemically than manually.

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.

S. National Weather Service AN - 51591467; 2006-038900 AB - This study investigates an approach that combines physically-based and conceptual model features in two stages of distributed modeling: model structure development and estimation of spatially variable parameters. 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.

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.

Membership included representatives from resource agencies, environmental organizations, commercial and recreational fishing interests, and the general public. While the group agreed on several areas for fishing closures, members could not reach consensus on a specific network design. Several factors interfered with the group's effort in attaining agreement resulting in the endeavor subsequently being replaced by a "top-down" approach that lacks the support of the fishing community. Lessons learned from the project emphasize the need by marine protected area participants to recognize irreconcilable impasses early in the process and to seek solutions to maneuver around them. The importance of keeping the fishing community fully engaged is discussed. JF - Coastal Management AU - Helvey, M AD - Habitat Conservation Division, Southwest Region, NOAA Fisheries, 501 W.

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.

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.

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.

However, efforts to understand climate effects on biota are complicated by differences among species in life history and physiology. Even within a species it is not clear if different populations will react similarly to large-scale climate trends. Climate regimes exhibit basin-wide effects similar to the El Nino Southern Oscillation but persist for decades. In the North Pacific Ocean, two regime shifts (abrupt changes from one regime to another) occurred in 1976-1977 and 1989-1990 and had wide ranging effects on many species. We examined the response of chinook salmon from 9 evolutionary significant units (ESUs) to the regime shifts. While there was an average decline in spawner numbers associated with the regime shifts, ESUs did not respond in a uniform manner: some ESUs declined, some did not respond and one may have increased. Four ESUs currently listed under the Endangered Species Act may have declined more across regime boundaries than did the five non-listed ones. Interpretation of this result depends on two ESUs: the Snake River spring/summer run and the Central Valley fall run. The Snake River ESU had the largest decline and most sampling effort. If this ESU was excluded from the analysis, there was no evidence that listed and non-listed stocks responded differently to the regimes. The Central Valley ESU is currently a candidate for listing. If this ESU is considered to be a threatened or endangered, then listed ESUs declined more on average than did non-listed ESUs across the regime boundaries regardless of the Snake River ESU. As a whole, these results suggest that long-term climate trends are important to the dynamics of chinook populations and that sub-units of a species (here ESUs) can respond differently to these regimes.

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 - 36371683; 10812-040259_0032 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 - 36370778; 10812-040259_0011 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 - 36370214; 10812-040259_0012 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 - 36369075; 10812-040259_0043 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 - 36368372; 10812-040259_0004 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 - 36367079; 10812-040259_0059 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 - 36365797; 10812-040259_0018 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 - 36359041; 10812-040259_0060 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 - 36357478; 10812-040259_0056 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 - 36356665; 10812-040259_0021 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 - 16360993; 10812 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.

CP03-75-000). AN - 36437135; 10807 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. LEGAL MANDATES: Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).

Preparation date: May 20, 2004 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - BANKS LAKE DRAWDOWN, DOUGLAS AND GRANT COUNTIES, WASHINGTON. [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 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.

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.

Preparation date: May 20, 2004 N1 - Last updated - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Chemical Composition of the Uranium Tail Storages at Kadji-Sai (Southern Shore of Issyk-Kul Lake, Kyrgyzstan) AN - 759317246; 13727047 AB - In 1996, an abandoned uranium mine was re-discovered in the Djilubulak ephemeral stream valley on the southern shore of Issyk-Kul - one of the largest and most pristine lakes in the world. The tail storages from the past mining may pose a pollution hazard to the lake water and sediments. A chain of six protective pools interconnected by drain pipes descend from the abandoned mine and processing plant down the Djilubulak stream valley. To assess the effectiveness of these catch pools and the scale of pollution risk the investigation of tail storages composition was performed. As a result, three sources of anomalous radioactivity were discovered: 1. Natural brown coal with the mean total radioactivity value not exceeding 16 kBq kg super(-1), with U being in state of equilibrium with Ra. 2. Ashes depleted in U (relative to Ra) with the mean radioactivity reaching 49 kBq kg super(-1), mostly due to the Ra content. 3. Clay and silt from the artificial protective pools where U activity (up to 2--2.5 kBq kg super(-1)) significantly exceeds that of Ra indicating recent process of U enrichment. Uranium in these pools is accompanied by very high contents of heavy metals such as Cu, Zn, Cd, Ni, Cr, and to a smaller degree Pb, Mo, Hg, Ag. From the upper catch pool to the lower ones the content of U and some heavy metals diminishes. Within the two lowest pools neither U nor heavy metal contents exceed background values (U < 0.1 kBq kg super(-1)). It appears that the system of catch pools effectively protects Lake Issyk-Kul from inorganic pollutants at the present time. However, a flash flood or other catastrophic event could breach the catch pool dams and carry radioactive elements and heavy metals into the Djilubulak stream valley and the lake.

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%.

AN - 71996918; 15180388 AB - The study examined the temporal response of Hyalella azteca to pentachlorobenzene (PCBZ) in water-only exposures. 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 micromol/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.

AN - 71957714; 15159154 AB - Inorganic and organic chloramines pose a threat to aquatic ecosystems that are exposed to discharges of treated and disinfected wastewater. 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 < or =0.011mg Cl(2)/L in freshwaters). Seeking faster dechlorinating agents, we have measured the rates that four test chloramines (NH(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.

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.

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.

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.

Critical loads are measured as a function of loading rate (dynamic fatigue) for model bilayers fabricated by epoxy-bonding selected clinical ceramics to polycarbonate bases. Radial crack initiation is observed in situ by viewing from below the transparent base during loading. Declines in the critical loads with diminishing load rate are consistent with slow crack growth of intrinsic flaws prior to radial crack pop in. A simple fracture mechanics relation incorporating a crack velocity function is used to analyze the data. Extrapolation beyond the data range enables long-lifetime (10 yr) estimates of sustainable loads. The procedure provides a basis for ranking ceramic types, and in particular for eliminating vulnerable candidate materials, for use in biomechanical systems. While slow crack growth is an important factor in failure, other mechanisms could operate in concert and even dominate under severe testing conditions, especially under cyclic loading.

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.

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 expands the knowledge of how state and local governments plan short-term projects and mitigate with longer-term activities in anticipation of a natural hazard. 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.

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 non-endemics, 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 survivorship 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.

[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.

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.

AN - 36438186; 11336 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 affect 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 resend 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. This abbreviated final EIS provides a short introduction and public comments and responses. 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 over fishing, 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.

Preparation date: April 5, 2004 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Pharmacokinetics of oxytetracycline in the white shrimp, Litopenaeus setiferus AN - 18030531; 5933375 AB - Shrimp are among the most highly valued seafood in the US, and a large proportion are cultured. 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.

AN - 36435530; 10715 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.).

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - AMENDMENT 16-3 TO THE PACIFIC COAST GROUNDFISH MANAGEMENT PLAN REBUILDING PLANS FOR BOCACCIO, COWCOD, WIDOW ROCKFISH, AND YELLOWEYE ROCKFISH. AN - 36362812; 10713-040158_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 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.

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. This exhaustive extraction method represents a viable alternative to the use of expensive, more thermally stable oniumion treatments for layered silicates.

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. These experiments demonstrate iron"s pivotal role in controlling carbon uptake and regulating atmospheric partial pressure of carbon dioxide.

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.

AN - 36443080; 10710 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.

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.

Larvae and juveniles, 4.1-39.5 mm standard length (L sub(S)), ranging several orders of magnitude in dry body mass were used to estimate the mass-metabolism relationship. 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.

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.

Sea turtle capture is prohibited by Brazilian law. Observations from onboard three commercial longline vessels in different seasons in 1998 provided data on loggerhead and leatherback catches. Determination of catch per unit effort, probability of death at capture, average sea surface temperatures, turtle size (curved carapace length), and hooking injuries are discussed. Variations in CPUE could be explained by temperature differences but other factors also could be involved. Estimates of sea turtle mortality at capture could be underestimated because post-release deaths due to hooking or stress are not considered. The incidental captures support hypotheses of transoceanic developmental migrations for turtles in the south Atlantic. The high total fishing effort by the Brazilian longline fleet and the observations derived from this study suggest the need for more research on longline fishery impacts. Conservation measures for sea turtles in this region are discussed, including use of an International Observed Program on board longliners.

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.

A field test compared habitat impacts of three oyster harvesting methods (dredging, tonging, and hand harvesting by diver) in terms of harvest per unit of effort, degree of reef habitat damage, and quality of oysters harvested as a function of gear type. Overall, diver harvesting is more environmentally sound and sustainable than dredging or tonging and may be more compatible with oyster reef habitat conservation efforts. Per capita returns for dive operations may be competitive with returns for other gears even over the short term. Management schemes must try to achieve a change in harvest methods because of the high initial costs that fishermen will face.

Most direct estimates from tide gauges give 1.5-2.0 mm yr super(-1), whereas indirect estimates based on the two processes responsible for global sea level rise, namely mass and volume change, fall far below this range. Estimates of the volume increase due to ocean warming give a rate of about 0.5 mm yr super(-1) and the rate due to mass increase, primarily from the melting of continental ice, is thought to be even smaller. Therefore, either the tide gauge estimates are too high, as has been suggested recently, or one (or both) of the mass and volume estimates is too low. Here we present an analysis of sea level measurements at tide gauges combined with observations of temperature and salinity in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans close to the gauges. We find that gauge-determined rates of sea level rise, which encompass both mass and volume changes, are two to three times higher than the rates due to volume change derived from temperature and salinity data. Our analysis supports earlier studies that put the twentieth-century rate in the 1.5-2.0 mm yr super(-1) range, but more importantly it suggests that mass increase plays a larger role than ocean warming in twentieth-century global sea level rise.

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 - 71680392; 14986318 AB - To improve the effectiveness of calcium phosphate cement (CPC), we have developed a method to seed osteoblasts into the cement. CPC powder is mixed with water to form a paste that can be shaped to fit a bone defect in situ. The paste hardens in 30 min, reacts to form hydroxyapatite, and is replaced with new bone. Reacted CPC is biocompatible but unreacted CPC paste was found to have toxic effects when placed on cell monolayers (MC3T3-E1 cells). In contrast, when cells were indirectly exposed to CPC paste using a porous membrane or by placing a coverslip containing adherent cells onto a bed of CPC paste, the unreacted CPC was nontoxic. These results suggested that gel encapsulation of the cells might protect them from the CPC paste. Thus, cells were encapsulated in alginate beads (3.6-mm diameter), mixed with CPC paste, and incubated overnight. Both vital staining (calcein-AM and ethidium homodimer-1) and the Wst-1 assay (measures dehydrogenase activity) showed that cell survival in alginate beads that were mixed with CPC was similar to survival in untreated control beads. These results suggest that gel encapsulation could be used as a mechanism to protect cells for seeding into CPC. Copyright 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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 3 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 - 36361442; 10674-040121_0003 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 22 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 - 36354328; 10674-040121_0022 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 16 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 - 36351007; 10674-040121_0016 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.

AN - 36350295; 10674-040121_0005 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.

AN - 36356145; 10672-040119_0003 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 rationalize 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 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. 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. omc;idomg? 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 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.

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. 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 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 - 71861610; 15103441 AB - Three new mussel tissue standard reference materials (SRMs) have been developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the determination of the concentrations of organic contaminants. 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(-1 )dry mass (cyclopenta[ cd]pyrene) to 180 ng g(-1 )dry mass (pyrene). PCB concentrations range from about 2 ng g(-1 )dry mass (PCB 157) to 120 ng g(-1 )dry mass (PCB 153). The reference value for total PCBs in SRM 1974b is (2020 +/- 420) ng g(-1 )dry mass. Pesticide concentrations range from about 4 ng g(-1 )dry mass (4,4'-DDT) to 40 ng g(-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.

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.

AN - 66763283; 15285367 AB - Monitoring toxic organochlorine (OC) compounds is an important aspect in wildlife studies, especially in protected species such as sea turtles. 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.

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.

English sole were collected from five sites, and muscle was analyzed for trace metals and liver for OCs. As expected, sediment PAH and OC concentrations and tissue OC concentrations were higher at sites east of the First Narrows, compared to the outer harbor and reference sites. Sediment PAH concentrations east of the First Narrows were similar to concentrations at moderately contaminated sites in Puget Sound, south of Vancouver Harbour. In contrast, concentrations of OCs in sediments and tissue were low to moderate, even at relatively contaminated sites within Vancouver Harbour. Although several trace metals in sediments were higher than in contaminated sediments from Puget Sound, trace metals measured in fish muscle were lower.

Images of these forecasts, at daily to seasonal time scales, are provided on the ECPC World Wide Web site (http://www.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. JF - Journal of Hydrology AU - Roads, J A2 - Krzysztofowicz, Roman A2 - Collier, Chris G.

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.)

AN - 36438313; 11259 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.

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 super(-1) (7 ng g super(-1)). The concentration of PBDE 47 in SRM 1588a was 82.7 ng g super(-1) (2.8 ng g super(-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 super(-1) (127 ng g super(-1)), 1,960 ng g super(-1) (133 ng g super(-1)), and 3,980 ng g super(-1) (248 ng g super(-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.

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.

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, 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 and 1.8 shoots/yr, 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.

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.

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). The survey of the entire area was repeated four times and produced a count of 360 narwhals on the images or an average abundance in the surveyed area of 873 narwhals (CV = 0.35) at the surface. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 refined method of modeling atmospheric dust concentrations due to wind erosion was developed using real-time saltation flux measurements and ambient dust monitoring data at Owens Lake, California. This modeling method may have practical applications for modeling the atmospheric effects of wind erosion in other areas. Windblown dust from the Owens Lake bed often causes violations of federal air quality standards for particulate matter (PM sub(10)) that are the highest levels measured in the United States. The goal of this study was to locate dust source areas on the exposed lake bed, estimate their PM sub(10) emissions, and use air pollution modeling techniques to determine which areas caused or contributed to air quality violations. Previous research indicates that the vertical flux of PM sub(10) (F sub(a)) is generally proportional to the total horizontal saltation flux (q) for a given soil texture and surface condition. For this study, hourly PM sub(10) emissions were estimated using F sub(a) = K' m sub(15), where m sub(15) is the measured sand flux at 15 cm above the surface, and K' was derived empirically by comparing air quality model predictions to monitored PM sub(10) concentrations. Hourly sand flux was measured at 135 sites (1 km spacing) on the lake bed, and PM sub(10) was monitored at six off-lake sites for a 30 month period. K' was found to change spatially and temporally over the sampling period. These changes appeared to be linked to different soil textures and to seasonal surface changes. K' values compared favorably with other F sub(a)/q values measured at Owens Lake using portable wind tunnel and micrometeorological methods. Hourly trends for the model-predicted PM sub(10) concentrations agreed well with monitored PM sub(10) concentrations. Dust production was estimated at 7.2 10 super(4) t of PM sub(10) for a 12 month period. A single storm accounted for 9% of the annual dust emissions at 6.5 10 super(3) t. The modeling results were used to identify 77 km super(2) of dust-producing areas on the lake bed that will be controlled to attain the federal air quality standard for PM sub(10).

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 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. Suggestions for future research are offered.

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.

AN - 71768279; 15036638 AB - Large spills of refined petroleum products have been an occasional occurrence over the past few decades. This has not been true for large spills of liquefied natural gas (LNG). This paper compares the likely similarities and differences between accidental releases from a ship of sizable quantities of these different hydrocarbon fuels, their subsequent spreading, and possible pool-fire behavior. Quantitative estimates are made of the spread rate and maximum slick size, burn rate, and duration; effective thermal radiation; and subsequent soot generation.

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.

The profile dramatically affects the switching current vs gate voltage curve of the transistor, changing its period from 1e to 2e. A model based on nonequilibrium quasiparticles in the leads explains our results, including the observation that even devices with a clean 2e period are "poisoned" by small numbers of these quasiparticles.

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. 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.

AN - 900616447; 10621-7_0031 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.

AN - 900616374; 10621-7_0052 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 39 of 55] T2 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE ATLANTIC SEA SCALLOP FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF MAY 1982). AN - 900616234; 10621-7_0039 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 24 of 55] T2 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE ATLANTIC SEA SCALLOP FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF MAY 1982). AN - 900616149; 10621-7_0024 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 27 of 55] T2 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE ATLANTIC SEA SCALLOP FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF MAY 1982). AN - 900616020; 10621-7_0027 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 17 of 55] T2 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE ATLANTIC SEA SCALLOP FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF MAY 1982). AN - 900615996; 10621-7_0017 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 10 of 55] T2 - AMENDMENT 10 TO THE ATLANTIC SEA SCALLOP FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN (FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF MAY 1982). AN - 900615635; 10621-7_0010 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.

AN - 900615371; 10621-7_0005 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 - 2014-01-30 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Morphological abnormalities and sensorimotor deficits in larval fish exposed to dissolved saxitoxin AN - 20709611; 5931941 AB - The dietary uptake of one suite of dinoflagellate-produced neurotoxins, that are commonly called paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins, is known to cause acute fish kills. However, little is known about the effects of dissolved phase exposure and the potential sublethal effects of this route of exposure on early developmental stages of fish. Toxin exposure during early development is of particular concern because the embryos and larvae of some marine fish species may be unable to actively avoid the dissolved toxins that algal cells release into the water column during harmful algal blooms. Here we use the zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model experimental system to explore the sublethal effects of a dissolved PSP toxin, saxitoxin (STX), on early development in fish, including sensorimotor function, morphology, and long-term growth and survival. Aqueous phase exposures of 229 plus or minus 7 mu g STX eq.l super(-1) caused reductions in sensorimotor function as early as 48h postfertilization (hpf) and paralysis in all larvae by 4 days postfertilization (dpf). Rohon-Beard mechanosensory neurons appeared to be more sensitive to STX than dorsal root ganglion neurons at this dose. Additionally, exposure to 481 plus or minus 40 mu g STX eq.l super(-1) resulted in severe edema of the eye, pericardium, and yolk sac in all exposed larvae by 6dpf. The onset of paralysis in STX-exposed larvae was stage-specific, with older larvae becoming paralyzed more quickly than younger larvae (5h at 6dpf as compared to 8 and 46h for 4 and 2dpf larvae, respectively). When transferred to clean water, many larvae recovered from the morphological and sensorimotor effects of STX. Thus, the sublethal effects of the toxin on larval morphology and behavior were reversible. However, zebrafish exposed to STX transiently during larval development (from 2 to 4dpf) had significantly reduced growth and survival at 18 and 30 days of age. Collectively, these data show that (1) dissolved phase STX is bioavailable to fish embryos and larvae, (2) the toxin is a paralytic with potencies that are stage-specific for fish larvae, (3) the observed toxicological effects of STX exposure are reversible, and (4) a short-term toxin exposure can negatively impact the survival of fish several weeks later. Dissolved algal toxins may therefore have important sublethal effects on vulnerable species of fish.

[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.

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.

AN - 71554138; 12962646 AB - The prevalence of toxicopathic liver lesions in English sole (Pleuronectes vetulus) was determined along a presumed gradient of chemical contamination in Vancouver Harbour, Canada. Fish were captured from five sites in or near Vancouver Harbour, British Columbia, Canada. No toxicopathic lesions were observed in fish examined at the reference site (Howe Sound outside Vancouver Harbour), or at the outer harbour site. In contrast, 20-23% of the fish from three sites located in the central harbour, Indian Arm and Port Moody Arm had one or more types of toxicopathic lesions. Likewise, aromatic hydrocarbon (AH) metabolites measured in bile exhibited a gradient in levels from lower concentrations at the reference site to significantly higher levels in fish from Indian Arm and Port Moody Arm harbour sites. The occurrence of toxicopathic liver lesions was statistically associated with concentrations of AHs measured in sediment and AH metabolite levels measured in bile.

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.

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. Sensitivity tests are performed, showing that the method is reliable and stable.

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.

Systems or networks of MPAs may provide more effective protection for the diversity of species and their life history stages than single, isolated MPAs. The Northwest Straits Marine Conservation Initiative in Washington State has a mandate to "achieve a scientifically-based, regional system of MPAs." This will be achieved through local marine resources committees (MRCs) in each of the seven counties along the Northwest Straits organized by the Northwest Straits Commission. The 107 documented MPAs, offering varying degrees of protection, have been established in this region by federal and state agencies, local governments, and private organizations. Most were established independently, and were not intended or designed to function as a network. Using the ShoreZone Inventory developed by the Washington Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), habitat characteristics along the shoreline of each MPA were examined and mapped. The degree to which each regional habitat type was represented in existing MPAs was evaluated within both partially and fully protected MPAs. Representativeness has been identified as a criterion in MPA network design when the goal is to protect biodiversity, and has been utilized in the planning processes. This preliminary analysis of the functionality of a de facto MPA network is an example of a tool to improve the use of MPA networks in protecting marine biodiversity in the Northwest Straits region of Washington State, and may serve as a national model for MPA network development.

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.

AN - 36360882; 10608-040054_0042 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 54] T2 - AMENDMENT 13 TO THE NORTHEAST MULTISPECIES FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN. AN - 36360174; 10608-040054_0001 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 37 of 54] T2 - AMENDMENT 13 TO THE NORTHEAST MULTISPECIES FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN. AN - 36355392; 10608-040054_0037 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 52 of 54] T2 - AMENDMENT 13 TO THE NORTHEAST MULTISPECIES FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN. AN - 36353019; 10608-040054_0052 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 38 of 54] T2 - AMENDMENT 13 TO THE NORTHEAST MULTISPECIES FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN. AN - 36351299; 10608-040054_0038 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.

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. 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.

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.

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 - 36434876; 10589 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an environmental water account (EWA) for the Sacramento and San Joaquin Delta Region of California is proposed. The delta region provides water to the majority of California's agriculture and to urban and industrial communities. The delta also provides habitat for numerous plant, animal, and fish species, including several endangered species. This dual role places the region at the center or an ongoing conflict between environmental and water supply interests. Within the delta, pumping plants operated by the federal Central Valley Project (CVP) and the State Water Project (SWP) move water from the delta to a system of canals and reservoirs for use by agricultural interests, communities, and wildlife refuges in the Central Valley, the Bay Area, and southern California, and along the central coast. Pumping water from the delta alters normal flow patterns and can threaten the recovery of endangered and threatened fish species unless the projection of those species is adopted as an operations parameter. Reduction of delta pumping for protection and recovery of fish habitat can, however, interrupt water supply deliveries, thereby reducing the reliability of California's water supply. The CALFED Bay-Delta Program is a collaborative effort of 23 federal and state agencies seeking to resolve these conflicts. Rivers affecting water resources associated with the delta include the American, Merced, Feather, Yuba, Sacramento, and San Joaquin rivers. This final EIS analyzes three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative. The action alternatives would involve the acquisition of EWA assets via stored surface water, stored groundwater, groundwater substitution, and crop idling purchases. EWA asset management would be achieved through source shifting, groundwater storage, and borrowing of project water. The action alternatives would differ primarily in actions taken to protect fish and the quantities of assets acquired. The proposed action would adopt a flexible interpretation of the CALFED directives, incorporating functionally equivalent purchases and actions within the framework of the directives. EWA agencies would adjust purchases of water to respond to differing hydrologic conditions and to take advantage of water acquisition /storage possibilities throughout the CVP and SWP service areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The EWA, which is provided for under the CALFED Programmatic EIS /Environmental Impact Report Record of Decision, would assist in fish population recovery for at-risk native fish species and increase water supply reliability by reducing uncertainty associated with fish recovery actions.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - ENVIRONMENTAL WATER ACCOUNT, SACRAMENTO AND SAN JOAQUIN DELTA REGION, CALIFORNIA. AN - 36359141; 10589-040034_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of an environmental water account (EWA) for the Sacramento and San Joaquin Delta Region of California is proposed. The delta region provides water to the majority of California's agriculture and to urban and industrial communities. The delta also provides habitat for numerous plant, animal, and fish species, including several endangered species. This dual role places the region at the center or an ongoing conflict between environmental and water supply interests. Within the delta, pumping plants operated by the federal Central Valley Project (CVP) and the State Water Project (SWP) move water from the delta to a system of canals and reservoirs for use by agricultural interests, communities, and wildlife refuges in the Central Valley, the Bay Area, and southern California, and along the central coast. Pumping water from the delta alters normal flow patterns and can threaten the recovery of endangered and threatened fish species unless the projection of those species is adopted as an operations parameter. Reduction of delta pumping for protection and recovery of fish habitat can, however, interrupt water supply deliveries, thereby reducing the reliability of California's water supply. The CALFED Bay-Delta Program is a collaborative effort of 23 federal and state agencies seeking to resolve these conflicts. Rivers affecting water resources associated with the delta include the American, Merced, Feather, Yuba, Sacramento, and San Joaquin rivers. This final EIS analyzes three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative. The action alternatives would involve the acquisition of EWA assets via stored surface water, stored groundwater, groundwater substitution, and crop idling purchases. EWA asset management would be achieved through source shifting, groundwater storage, and borrowing of project water. The action alternatives would differ primarily in actions taken to protect fish and the quantities of assets acquired. The proposed action would adopt a flexible interpretation of the CALFED directives, incorporating functionally equivalent purchases and actions within the framework of the directives. EWA agencies would adjust purchases of water to respond to differing hydrologic conditions and to take advantage of water acquisition /storage possibilities throughout the CVP and SWP service areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The EWA, which is provided for under the CALFED Programmatic EIS /Environmental Impact Report Record of Decision, would assist in fish population recovery for at-risk native fish species and increase water supply reliability by reducing uncertainty associated with fish recovery actions. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Water withdrawals, storage, and releases would affect surface water supply and management regimes, water quality, groundwater levels and groundwater quality, wind-born soil losses, air quality due to pump operations, fisheries and aquatic ecosystems, vegetation and the associated wildlife habitat, regional agricultural economics, agricultural land use, agricultural social values, recreational resources, flood control capacities, hydropower production, cultural resource sites, visual aesthetics, groundwater that constitutes Indian Trust Assets.

[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. Though operational efficiency for recreational charterboat operators would generally increase, it would decrease in northern California in some areas.

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 - 36357634; 10563-040006_0025 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 - 36347572; 10563-040006_0048 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.

The first goal of our study was to establish a Columbia River microsatellite genetic baseline to evaluate genetic structure and differentiation among populations and evolutionarily significant units (ESUs) of chinook salmon in the Columbia River basin. The second goal of the study was to use the genetic baseline and individual assignment tests to identify putative source populations and ESUs of juvenile chinook salmon mixtures sampled at different spatial and temporal scales in the Columbia River estuary.

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.

AN - 80145048; 14768883 AB - The reworking response (bioturbation) of the oligochaete Lumbriculus variegatus was measured by following the burial rate and spread of a 137Cs marker layer translating worm activity into a biological burial rate (Wb) and a biological diffusion rate constant (Db) for surficial sediment mixing. Reworking was measured at 10 and 22 degrees C in two sediments: a reference site sediment dosed with 3,4,3',4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (TCBP) and a field-collected sediment from a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated site in Dicks Creek (DCC, Middletown, OH, USA). The body residue associated with response to TCBP also was determined. Reduction in the temperature from 22 to 10 degrees C reduced both Wb and Db by a factor of approximately two. The internal TCBP concentration to reduce the Wb by 50% was 96 nmol/g (95% CI 45-225 nmol/g) and 124 nmol/g (40-547 nmol/g) (28 and 36 microg/g) wet weight at 22 and 10 degrees C, respectively, and was independent of temperature. The Wb for the DCC sediment was lower than observed for the highest TCBP treatment. The internal body residue for total PCB for worms exposed to DCC sediment was 20-fold lower than TCBP in worms exposed to the lowest TCBP treatment on a molar basis. Comparing body residues of total PCB to TCBP assumes that the PCB congeners act additively on a molar basis. The DCC site contained a higher proportion of coarse material and a lower organic carbon concentration. The difference in sediment characteristics was assumed to be responsible for differences in the Wb.

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.

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.

Compared to 25 years of hydrothermal investigations along MORs, exploration of similar activity on the estimated approximately 600 submarine arc volcanoes is only beginning [Ishibashi and Urabe, 1995; De Ronde et al, 2003] . To help alleviate this under-sampling, the R/V T G Thompson in early 2003 (9 February to 5 March) conducted the first complete survey of hydrothermal activity along 1200 km of the Mariana intra-oceanic volcanic arc. This region includes both the Territory of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

Geostatistical inverse modeling is used to make inferences regarding the historical concentration conditions in the overlying aquifer. Because geostatistical inverse modeling is a stochastic approach, it treats parameters as jointly distributed random fields. Therefore, this approach is used to compute confidence intervals in addition to best estimates. This framework is also used to compute large numbers of conditional realizations, which are equally probable solutions given the data, and which allow for a better understanding of the form of the unknown function. Finally, a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method combined with the application of Lagrange multipliers is used to enforce concentration non-negativity.

The highest delta ( (super 3) He) = 43.4% was detected at 1726-m depth at 15.0 degrees S, 173.1 degrees W in the bathymetric gap between the Samoa Islands and the northern end of the Tonga-Kermadec Arc. The delta ( (super 3) He) profile at this station decreases to delta ( (super 3) He) = 26% at 2500-m depth. The relatively shallow depth of the maximum hydrothermal signal suggests a source different from the conventional Pacific basin helium plume centered at 2500 m that is carried westward from the East Pacific Rise. Stations to the west of this locality show a progressive decrease in the maximum delta ( (super 3) He) values in the depth range of 1480-1790 m out to 169 degrees E. Stations east of the Tonga-Fiji region show lower (super 3) He values (<26%) at 1700 m and the profiles are dominated by a deeper maximum at 2500 m, presumably the distal traces of hydrothermal input from East Pacific Rise. This pattern in the (super 3) He distribution suggests that the 1700-m deep helium plume is carried in a northwesterly direction some 2000 km from its source near the northern end of the Tonga-Kermadec Arc. At this time very little is known about the source of this hydrothermal plume or the details of its areal extent. Numerous seamounts and rift zones in the region are possible hydrothermal sources for the plume. The summit crater of Vailulu'u, a young seamount at the eastern end of the Samoa chain, was recently discovered to be hydrothermally active at approximately 600 m depth [Hart et al., 2000]. However this shallow hydrothermal field on Vailulu'u is an unlikely source for the deeper 1700-m signal. The most likely source would appear to be the extensional zones of the northern Lau Basin system, such as the Mangatolo Triple Junction. Just as the helium plume emanating from Lo'ihi has helped our understanding of the circulation near the Hawaiian Islands [Lupton, 1996], this helium plume in the Tonga-Fiji region has great potential for delineating circulation in this area of the south Pacific.

If there were no return path of nutrients from deep waters, the biological pump would eventually deplete the surface waters and thermocline of nutrients; surface biological productivity would plummet. Here we make use of the combined distributions of silicic acid and nitrate to trace the main nutrient return path from deep waters by upwelling in the Southern Ocean and subsequent entrainment into subantarctic mode water. The analysis has important implications for our understanding of large-scale controls on the nature and magnitude of low-latitude biological productivity and its sensitivity to climate change.

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.

The concept is simple but several factors make testing the hypothesis complex: scant hydrothermal flux measurements, temporal lags between magmatic and hydrothermal processes, the role of permeability, nonmagmatic heat sources, and the uncertainties of vent-field exploration. Here we examine this hypothesis by summarizing our current state of knowledge of the global distribution of active vent fields, which presently number approximately 280, roughly a quarter of our predicted population of approximately 1000. Approximately 20% of the global ridge system has now been surveyed at least cursorily for active sites, but only half that length has been studied in sufficient detail for statistical treatment. Using 11 ridge sections totaling 6140 km we find a robust linear correlation between either site frequency or hydrothermal plume incidence and the magmatic budget estimated from crustal thickness. These trends cover spreading rates of 10-150 mm/yr and strongly support the magma budget hypothesis. A secondary control, permeability, may become increasingly important as spreading rates decrease and deep faults mine supplemental heat from direct cooling of the upper mantle, cooling gabbroic intrusions, and serpentinization of underlying ultramafics. Preliminary observations and theory suggest that hydrothermal activity on hotspot-affected ridges is relatively deficient, although paucity of data precludes generalizing this result. While the fullness of our conclusions depends upon further detailed study of vent field frequency, especially on slow-spreading ridges, they are consistent with global distributions of deep-ocean (super 3) He, an unequivocally magmatic tracer.

Whereas the absolute concentration of mercury in Lake Superior sediments is not high (80-110 ng/g), enrichment ratios along coastal margins indicate industrial sources. An example of previously unreported mining-related inputs comes from native copper mining on the Keweenaw Peninsula. Around the peninsula, sediment inventories for mercury, silver, and copper are highly correlated and can be traced back to shoreline tailing piles, smelters, and parent ores. Elemental mercury occurs as a natural amalgam or solid solution substitution in native metal (copper, silver, gold) deposits and associated gangue minerals (e.g., sphalerite, ZnS) at mu g/g or higher concentrations. Native copper stamp mills discharged more than 364 million metric tons of "stamp sand" tailings, whereas copper smelters refined five million metric tons of copper, liberating together at least 42 metric tons of mercury. Release of trace mercury from Lake Superior mining deserves regional attention as preliminary estimates resemble EPA Region #9 patterns and could help explain the 4-7 fold sediment inventory discrepancies. We show that the Keweenaw situation is not unique geographically, as mineral-bound trace mercury is commonplace in U.S. and Canadian Greenstone Belts and of worldwide occurrence in precious (gold, silver) and massive base metal (copper, zinc) ore deposits.

Cimone (44 degrees 11'N, 10 degrees 42'E), the highest peak of the Italian northern Apennines (2165 m asl), particularly suitable to study the transport of air masses from the north African desert area to Europe. During these northward transports 12 dust events were registered in measurements of the aerosol concentration at the station during the period June-December 2000, allowing the study of the impact of mineral dust transports on free tropospheric ozone concentrations, which were also measured at Mt. Cimone. Three-dimensional backward trajectories were used to determine the air mass origin, while TOMS Aerosol Index data for the Mt. Cimone area were used to confirm the presence of absorbing aerosol over the measurement site. A trajectory statistical analysis allowed identifying the main source areas of ozone and aerosols. The analysis of these back trajectories showed that central Europe and north and central Italy are the major pollution source areas for ozone and fine aerosol, whereas the north African desert regions were the most important source areas for coarse aerosol and low ozone concentrations. During dust events, the Mt. Cimone mean volume concentration for coarse particles was 6.18 mu m (super 3) /cm (super 3) compared to 0.63 mu m (super 3) /cm (super 3) in dust-free conditions, while the ozone concentrations were 4% to 21% lower than the monthly mean background values. Our observations show that surface ozone concentrations were lower than the background values in air masses coming from north Africa, and when these air masses were also rich in coarse particles, the lowest ozone values were registered. Moreover, preliminary results on the possible impact of the dust events on PM (sub 10) and ozone values measured in Italian urban and rural areas showed that during the greater number of the considered dust events, significant PM (sub 10) increases and ozone decreases have occurred in the Po valley.

(DOCKET NO. C04-395-000 AND CP-04-05-000). AN - 36433727; 11327 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a certificate of public convenience and necessity for the construction and operation so a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal facility on Corpus Christi Bay in the Gulf of Mexico near Corpus Christi, Texas is proposed. The applicants, Vista del Sol LNG Terminal LP and Vista del Sol Pipeline LP ,both affiliated of Exxon Mobile Corporation, would construct and operate the terminal and a related pipeline. Energy demand in Texas and the United States has been growing and continues to grow steadily. The Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration, estimates that total energy consumption in the United States will increase from 98 quadrillion British units (Btss) per year in 2002 to 136 quadrillion Btss in 2025. The system would transport up to 1.4 billion cubic feet per day (Bcfd) of imported natural gas to the United States market. The LNG terminal facilities would include a ship unloading facility with berthing capacities for two LNG ships with cargo capacities of up to 250,00 cubic meters, three 155,000 cubic meter full containment LNG storage tanks, vaporization equipment capable of an average send out capacity of 1.1 Bfcd and a maximum send out capacity of 1.4 BFCD; and ancillary utilities, building, and service facilities. The natural gas pipelines would include 25.3 mile-long, 36-inch-diameter natural gas send out pipeline and associated pipeline support facilities, include six meter stations and interconnects with nine existing pipelines systems, one pig launcher, ad one pig receiver. Certain ancillary pipeline ,which do not fall under the certificate, would include lateral pipeline and pipeline associated with three interconnects, two overhead transmission lines, a utility substation, and a water line. In addition to the applicants' proposal, this draft EIS considers a No Action Alternative, postponing the action, LMG terminal system site alternatives, dredged material disposal alternatives, and pipeline system and route alternatives. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The applicants would provide an additional source of firm, long-term, and competitively priced natural gas to south Texas and the broader United States market. The terminal project would employ an average of 64 workers, including 72 full-time employees for operations of the facilities. Annual permanent wages for these employees would amount to $3.5 million. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: The terminal and pipelines would affect 780.4 acres of land and water. Construction of the terminal would require 310.8 acres, including 44.8 acres of open water for maneuvering area and marine terminal. Approximately 309.5 acres would be required for operation of the terminal, and 155.5 acres for permanent easement along the pipeline and laterals. The facilities would displace 25.8 acres of wetlands or submerged aquatic vegetation, including 24.5 acres at the LNG terminal site and 1.3 acres along the pipeline route. Essential fish habitat for post larval and juvenile pike shrimp, red drum and sub adult Spanish mackerel would be displaced. A total of 21 federally listed species occur in south Texas and the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The terminal and pipelines would traverse a area affected by seismic activity. Approximately 7.8 million cubic years of soils and sediment would be excavated or dredged for the creation of the marine terminal. The pipeline would cross 20 perennial surface water bodies and 18 intermittent water bodies, the majority of which are road and irrigation ditches/canals. The storage tanks and other facilities associated with the project would degrade visual aesthetics. Cultural resource investigations have et to be completed.

The classical measure of feeding behavior determined on a subset of sediment for which the biological burial rate was determined in a companion study allowed direct method comparison. This comparison helped address relationships between biological burial rate, feeding rate, and bioaccumulation. The change in stable isotope composition reflects the total metabolic activity by measuring carbon assimilation rate and was compared to feeding rate, biological burial rate (as determined in the companion study), and reproduction. Decreasing the temperature from 22 to 10 degree C resulted in a twofold reduction in feeding rate and carbon assimilation. The fractional decline in feeding rate relative to the control mimicked the decline in the biological burial rate with increasing TCBP concentration that was found in the companion study. The bioaccumulation factor declined with increasing TCBP sediment concentration, tracking the feeding rate decline. Stable isotope measures showed differences in metabolic rates between the exposure temperatures but did not distinguish a metabolic rate change at 22 degree C among TCBP treatments. Likewise, reproduction declined from 22 to 10 degree C, with no reproduction at 10 degree C. Like the stable isotope measure, no dose response was found among TCBP treatments at 22 degree C. The reduction in carbon assimilation rate tracked the reduction in reproduction with lower temperature.

In the cooling case, the time to achieve 70% of the equilibrium response in the midoceanic depths is about 500-1000 yr. In the warming case, this response time is 1300-1700 yr. In the Pacific Ocean and the bottom half of the Atlantic Ocean basins, the response is similar to the global response in that the cooling case results in a shorter response time scale. In the upper half of the Atlantic basin, the cooling response time scales are somewhat longer than in the warming case due to changes in the oceanic thermohaline circulation. In the oceanic surface mixed layer and atmosphere, the response time scale is closely coupled. In the Southern Hemisphere, the near-surface response time is slightly faster in the cooling case. However in the Northern Hemisphere, the near-surface response times are faster in the warming case by more than 500 yr at times during the integrations. In the Northern Hemisphere, both the cooling and warming cases have much shorter response time scales than found in the Southern Hemisphere. Oceanic mixing of heat is the key in determining these time scales. It is shown that the model's simulation of present-day radiocarbon and chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) distributions compares favorably to the observations indicating that the quantitative time scales may be realistic.

In 1999 and 2001-2002, dreissenid mussels were collected at 15 sites in the main river, in connecting reservoirs, and in a major tributary, the Manych River. Collections were made near stations where long-term monitoring data on total mineral (sum of principal ions) and calcium content were available. Both dreissenid species were found at all sites, with D. bugensis comprising 4-75% of all dreissenids at individual sites. D. bugensis was relatively more abundant than D. polymorpha in the Manych River where total mineral and calcium content was significantly higher than in the Don River, suggesting the two species may have different calcium requirements. Examination of archived samples indicated that D. bugensis was present in the Don River system as early as the 1980s, presenting the unresolved enigma of why D. bugensis has not displaced D. polymorpha as the dominant species as typically found over shorter time periods in other water bodies.

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).

These emissions are estimated as hourly values using numerical modeling from physical principles, resulting in more realistic values than the historical approach of using national annual air quality inventories with temporal and spatial disaggregation factors. The basis of many of these new modeling tools is a surface flux model, either one-way or bidirectional, underpinned by similar surface boundary physics, with modifications or parameters to treat the flux of a specific emission compound or class of emissions. These developments will result in closely-related emission modeling tools with overlapping input data requirements. The emission flux models will need to be installed in or coupled to an emission modeling system, such as the Sparse Matrix Operator Kernel Emission (SMOKE) system. To maintain a unified one-atmosphere approach to air quality modeling, and to ensure a consistent scientific basis and computational efficiency, a unified emission flux modeling approach capable of estimating all or most of the environmentally-dependent emissions is recommended.. This can be accomplished by establishing a model platform containing representations of the basic chemical and physical mechanisms for mass fluxes of gaseous and particulate emissions. The modeled emissions will be merged by SMOKE with reported emission data from an inventory and supplied to the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model, a regional Eulerian grid model. In some instances, modeling of bi-directional fluxes will be necessary, which may require a closer coupling with CMAQ to accommodate reinitialization of the concentration field at each time step.

The following parameters were evaluated: human population density, land use, impervious cover, creek physical characteristics, water quality, sediment chemical contamination and grain size characteristics, benthic chlorophyll a levels, porewater ammonia concentration, fecal coliform concentration, and macrobenthic and nekton population and community characteristics. The conceptual model was developed and used to identify the linkages among watershed-scale stressors, physical and chemical exposures, and biological responses of tidal creeks to human development at the watershed scale. This model provides a visual representation of the manner in which human population growth is linked to changes in the physiochemical environment and ultimately the nursery habitat function of tidal creeks and the safety of seafood harvested from headwater tidal creeks. The ultimate stressor on the tidal creek ecosystem is the human population density in the watershed and associated increases in the amount of impervious land cover. Measurable adverse changes in the physical and chemical environment were observed when the impervious cover exceeded 10-20% including altered hydrography, changes in salinity variance, altered sediment characteristics, increased chemical contaminants, and increased fecal coliform loadings. Living resources responded when impervious cover exceeded 20-30%. The impacts on the living resources included reduced abundance of stress-sensitive macrobenthic taxa, reduced abundance of commercially and recreationally important shrimp, and altered food webs. Headwater tidal creeks appear to provide early warning of ensuing harm to larger tidal creeks, tidal rivers and estuaries, and the amount of impervious cover in a watershed appears to be an integrative measure of the adverse human alterations of the landscape. Through education and community involvement, a conservation ethic may be fostered that encourages the permanent protection of lands for the services they provide.

Methods to differentiate animal from human sources of fecal coliform contamination could assist resource managers in developing strategies to protect shellfish harvesting areas and recreational waters. In this study, surface water samples were collected from both a developed and an undeveloped watershed in coastal South Carolina. Influent and effluent samples from several wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in the same area were also collected. Most Probable Numbers (MPNs) of fecal coliforms were determined for all samples. Escherichia coli isolates were analyzed for antibiotic resistance (AR) to 10 antibiotics. Then, AR indices (no. of resistant/total no. of antibiotics tested), were calculated for each isolate and site. Results indicated that MPNs from the WWTP samples were significantly higher than those from the developed watershed which were significantly higher than those from the undeveloped watershed (p<0.0001). The AR analyses suggested that there was a trend toward increased antibiotic resistance in samples for the urbanized Broad Creek (BC) watershed. In the Okatee River (OR), E. coli isolates from three sites (20%) showed resistance to a single antibiotic (penicillin) but in BC, isolates from seven sites (47%) were resistant to multiple antibiotics, and the predominant resistance pattern was chlortetracycline-oxytetracycline-tetracycline. Raw sewage isolates from most WWTPs contained E. coli that exhibited resistance to multiple antibiotics. Cluster analysis indicated that all resistant OR sites had antibiotic resistant isolates that matched AR patterns found in isolates from WWTPs. Similarly, six of the seven sites in BC had AR patterns that matched with resistance patterns in WWTPs. These results suggest that AR testing may be a useful tool for differentiating E. coli from human and wildlife sources. Further testing of bacterial isolates from known animal sources is necessary to better assess the utility of this approach.

Because of coastal eutrophication, degradation and loss of habitat, and declines in fish stocks, human activities have pushed further and further offshore into deeper water out of necessity. Technological advances continue to strive to make activities such as trawl fishing, oil and gas exploration, mineral extraction, and the laying of telecommunication cables in deeper water more cost effective and feasible. Effective management decisions ensuring that deep-water ecosystems are sustainable can only occur with the availability of sound science. Between November 28 - December 2, 2005, deep-sea scientists from around the world will share with each other insights into: a) coldwater coral taxonomy and molecular genetics; b) habitat mapping, sampling and characterization tools and techniques of coldwater corals and other important deep-sea structural habitats; c) geology, paleontology and climate change using coldwater corals; d) biodiversity and microbial and invertebrate associations with coldwater corals; e) fisheries and fish ecology; f) ecosystem-based approaches to effectively managing important deep-sea habitat; g) biology, growth and reproduction of coldwater corals; h) and the conservation and effective management of the deep-sea.

Seasonal closures have been in force since 1970 and areas have been closed throughout the year since 1994. We employed a variety of data sets to examine behavioral responses of fishermen to the imposition of groundfish closed areas. Information on precise vessel locations was available from vessel monitoring systems (VMS=satellite tracking) deployed on many of the largest trawl vessels in the fleet. Additionally, intensive observer coverage of groundfish trips was available for 2001-2004, providing haul-by-haul catch data. Information on the relative densities of fish species was available from routine research vessel (trawl and dredge) surveys. High-resolution meteorological and oceanographic data are collected from permanent buoys located near several of the closed areas. Bottom type information was available from a recent compilation of sampling studies. Revenue information from individual fishing trips was accessed through vessel and dealer trip reports. Research vessel abundance and biomass data indicated that some of the permanent closed areas exhibited a build up of population numbers and biomasses within the closures, but this "reserve effect" was not universal. In some instances where differential densities existed between closed and adjacent open areas, there was a concentration of fishing effort near the boundaries deployed to target the apparent "spillover" of economic resources. Spillover effects were tested using the relationship between relative fish densities (calibrated commercial CPUE) in relation to the distance away from the closures. We evaluated the relationship between catch rates at the boundaries of closed areas and physical variables, including the direction and intensity of winds and other factors potentially influencing short-term fish movements. Seasonal or "rolling" closures apparently resulted in short-term aggregations of fish that were targeted upon opening of these areas. Concentration indices described the pattern of effort deployment in relation to the distance from the boundaries of closed areas. These concentration profiles changed over time. Optimal foraging theory was used to model effort deployment in relation to the starting tow location for a trip, movements between locations, and choice of when trips ended. Overall, the presence of large-scale seasonal and year-round closed areas has significantly altered the distribution and deployment of effort in these fisheries.

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.

Theoretically, one of the fastest ways to amplify population numbers for depleted stocks of Pacific salmon is through culture and release of hatchery-propagated fish. However, past attempts to use supplementation (i.e., the use of artificial propagation in an attempt to maintain or increase natural production) to rebuild naturally spawning populations of Pacific salmon have often yielded poor results. One solution is to develop protocols that increase fitness of hatchery-reared salmonids, thereby improving survival. A framework of conservation hatchery strategies to reduce potential impacts of artificial propagation on the biology and behavior of fish is presented. Operational guidelines for conservation hatcheries to help mitigate the unnatural conditioning provided by hatchery rearing are discussed and contrasted to those for production hatchery operation. These include (1) mating and rearing designs that reduce risk of domestication selection and produce minimal genetic divergence of hatchery fish from their wild counterparts to maintain long-term adaptive traits; (2) simulation of natural rearing conditions through incubation and rearing techniques that approximate natural profiles and through increasing habitat complexity (e.g., cover, structure, and substrate in rearing vessels) to produce fish more wildlike in appearance and with natural behaviors and higher survival; (3) conditioning techniques such as antipredator conditioning to increase postrelease behavioral fitness; (4) programming aspects of release size, stage, and condition to match the wild population in order to reduce potential for negative ecological interactions and to promote homing; and (5) aggressive monitoring and evaluation to determine success of conservation hatchery approaches. High priority must be given to basic scientific research to meet three principal goals: (1) maintain genetic integrity of the population, (2) increase juvenile quality and behavioral fitness, and (3) increase adult quality.

The ESA recognizes that conservation of listed species may be facilitated by artificial propagation, including captive broodstocks, while factors impeding population recovery are identified and corrected. Captive broodstock programs differ from conventional salmon culture in that fish of wild origin are maintained in captivity throughout their life to produce offspring for the purpose of supplementing wild populations. The relatively short generation time (2-7 years) and potential to produce large numbers of offspring (1,500-5,000 eggs per female average, depending on the species) make Pacific salmon ideal for captive broodstock rearing. However, the technology is not without potential complications and risks. The paper presents guidelines to ensure a sound basis for implementation of captive broodstocks. Considerations must be based on overall knowledge of survival, reproductive success, and offspring fitness to accurately determine levels of risk in implementing a salmonid captive broodstock program. In general, use of captive broodstocks should be restricted to situations where the natural population is dangerously close to extinction. Proper precautions should be taken to minimize genetic impacts during the collection, mating, and rearing of captive broodstocks, as any alteration to the original genetic composition of the population in captivity may reduce the efficacy of supplementation in rebuilding the natural population. Furthermore, liberation of fish from captive broodstocks should be consistent with the known behavior of existing wild fish and on whatever knowledge is available of the life history characteristics of the wild fish. Because the benefits and risks have not been established through long-term monitoring and evaluation, captive broodstock development should be considered an experimental approach and used with caution.

Snake River sockeye salmon are a prime example of a species on the threshold of extinction, with the last known remnants of this stock returning to Redfish Lake, Idaho. On the basis of critically low population numbers and coincident with the listing, a captive broodstock project was implemented by federal, state, and tribal partners as an emergency measure to save Redfish Lake sockeye salmon. During the decade of the 1990s, a total of 16 wild fish returned to Redfish Lake (0-8 per year); all were captured for the broodstock program. Amplification of the population through captive broodstocking resulted in hundreds of thousands of progeny (prespawning adults, eyed eggs, presmolts, and smolts) replanted to habitats. Between 1999 and 2002, more than 300 adults returned from the ocean from captive broodstock releases - an amplification of almost 20 times the number of wild fish that returned in the 1990s. Important lineages of Redfish Lake sockeye salmon continue to be maintained in culture as preserves for genetic variability and for numerical and demographic amplification of releases to the habitat. It is virtually certain that the broodstock program has, at least for the short-term, prevented extinction of Redfish Lake sockeye salmon. Over the course of the program, operational issues included development of successful captive husbandry procedures, maintenance of genetic diversity, assessment/enhancement of habitat carrying capacity, and intensive evaluation of restocking efforts. In this paper, we discuss these issues as a model approach.

If large numbers of sequences or a number of long sequences are to be aligned, the required computations are expensive in memory and central processing unit (CPU) time. In an attempt to bring the tools of large-scale linear programming (LP) methods to bear on this problem, we formulate the alignment process as a controlled Markov chain and construct a suggested alignment based on policies that minimise the expected total cost of the alignment. We discuss the LP associated with the total expected discounted cost and show the results of a solution of the problem based on a primal-dual interior point method. Model parameters, estimated from aligned sequences, along with cost function parameters are used to construct the objective and constraint conditions of the LP problem. This article concludes with a discussion of some alignments obtained from the LP solutions of problems with various cost function parameter values.

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.

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.

We used controlled exposure experiments to evaluate whether environmentally relevant congeners and concentrations of PCBs could induce toxic responses in the offspring (F1s) and grand-offspring (F2s) of wild fish, and whether genetically based tolerance to these compounds exists in populations with a history of exposure. We exposed and compared toxic responses in early life-stages of HR tomcod to tomcod from two less-contaminated sources - Shinnecock Bay, New York (SB), and the Miramichi River, New Brunswick, Canada (MR). Eggs were exposed to a range of water-borne doses of PCBs (0.01 to 100-fold) that bracketed levels ('X') measured previously in livers of adult HR tomcod. Morphometric, developmental, behavioral, and viability variables were measured in eggs and larvae. Significant dose effects were evident within the SB and MR groups for all classes of response variables. SB and MR fish exhibited lower viability, less activity, slower development, and higher levels of abnormalities than HR fish at doses '>=1X'. HR eggs and larvae were largely insensitive to PCBs across the entire range of doses in the F1 and F2 generations. Not only is the tolerance exhibited by HR tomcod believed to have arisen recently (within 100 yr), but the high levels of PCBs in tomcod tissues are expected to bioaccumulate in an array of piscivorous fish species that consume tomcod in the Hudson River Estuary.

The IOOS is envisioned as a network of observational, data management, and analyses systems that rapidly and systematically acquires and disseminates marine data and data products describing the past present and future states of the oceans. Existing and planned observing system elements will be integrated into a sustained ocean observing system that addresses both research and operational needs in the following areas: detecting and forecasting oceanic components of climate variability; facilitating safe and efficient marine operations; ensuring national security; managing resources for sustainable use; preserving and restoring healthy marine ecosystems; mitigating natural hazards; ensuring public health.

Six autonomous hydrophones continuously recorded sound signals below 500 Hz from October 1999 to May 2001. After recovery, recordings were processed using an automatic process to detect usual clicks of sperm whales. The detection algorithm equalized background noise, summed the data in a frequency band, and then used autocorrelation to detect the whales' highly regular clicks. Detections were checked manually, revealing that 98% of detections did contain clicks. Results indicate that sperm whales are present in the Gulf of Alaska year-round; this result extends what is known from whaling data, which were gathered principally in summer. Sperm whales were more common in summer than winter by a factor of roughly two, and occurred less often at the westernmost site surveyed (52 degree N, 157 degree W) than elsewhere in the Gulf. This is the first study of sperm whales based exclusively on remote acoustic sensing. This methodology is feasible because sperm whale clicks extend to frequencies ( similar to 100 Hz) low enough to be recorded by low-sample-rate instruments that operate continuously, and because the detection algorithm has a low false-detection rate. The methodology may be replicated to facilitate comparisons between different time periods and geographic regions.

An increase in seagrass coverage from 1.33 km super(2) of sea bottom to 4.34 km super(2) was documented. Ninety-two percent of the area already covered in 1971 was still occupied in 1999. In addition, the relative contribution of horizontal expansion of existing beds in 1971 versus that of seed dispersal and growth were estimated. Fifty-four percent of the new seagrass area in 1999 was within the distance of possible horizontal growth of 1971 patches, whereas the rest was outside of this distance suggesting that only dispersal, germination, and subsequent growth of seeds could be responsible for this new colonization. New seagrass patches were not spread randomly throughout the channel; rather they were concentrated near patch reefs but beyond the usual sand halo typical of reef/seagrass interfaces. The current period of increasing meadow extent is coincident with a greater frequency of hurricanes in the region. Since no other causal mechanism could be identified, we suggest that this higher hurricane frequency enhanced seed and seagrass fragment dispersal.

Dikes and lava flows develop rapidly and instantly alter the local hydrothermal flow regime, initiating dramatic changes in hydrothermal discharge at the seafloor, and triggering geochemical and microbiological changes within the shallow crust, at the seafloor and within the overlying water column. Despite considerable logistical difficulties, real-time remote detection capabilities (SOSUS) along limited regions of the MOR system have allowed investigators to rapidly respond to significant seismic events. There have been more than 20 documented examples of seafloor volcanic/tectonic events, at both isolated volcanoes and mid-ocean ridges, but only a few of these have led to significant response efforts. The most rapid and thorough response efforts have been to the 1991 9 degrees N EPR event and several events (1986,1993,1996, 1998,2001) on the Juan de Fuca and Gorda Ridges. Together these "SOSUS directed' responses plus the few serendipitous encounters have led to important discoveries (e.g., event plumes; 'snow-blower' vents) and provided basic new constraints on presently immature models of submarine magmatic-hydrothermal systems (e.g., intrusive/extrusive diking; event plume formation; subsurface hydrothermal communities). The event response community has gained valuable experience in learning how to exploit these opportunities for scientific observation and is currently poised to continue such studies with increased speed and efficiency. However, our understanding of these geophysical, chemical and biological processes is only in their infancy.

The systematics of the chemical composition indicate that low-temperature diffuse fluids (3 degrees C-78 degrees C) at Axial Volcano have a high-temperature (>350 degrees C) reaction-zone component overprinted by lower-temperature reactions. The low-temperature reactions include production of methane, ammonia and particulate elemental sulfur, oxidation of hydrogen sulfide, nitrate reduction, stripping of metals from seawater, and reactions that dissolve iron and produce alkalinity. High concentrations of CO (sub 2) from magmatic degassing maintain acidic pH conditions and may be important in promoting low-temperature hydrolysis reactions. H (sub 2) S oxidation is the dominant chemical energy source for microbial metabolism at Axial Volcano, and the energy available from either methanogenesis or iron oxidation is approximately 100 times less. Chemical evidence, genetic signatures of thermophilic, non-seawater organisms, presence of culturable thermophiles, and cell counts elevated above background seawater in low-temperature fluids indicate microbial activity below the seafloor. Metabolic activity of organisms identified in venting fluids matches the chemical processes occurring in low-temperature sub-seafloor reservoirs.

Intrusion of dikes is the primary accretion mechanism of the upper ocean crust, providing a pathway for eruption of lavas onto the ocean floor. This extrusive layer, which has bulk porosity greater than 25% in the youngest ocean crust, provides a potential extensive habitat for a robust and diverse microbial subsurface biosphere. The extrusive layer is hundreds of meters to a kilometer or greater in thickness in much of the ocean crust generated by fast and intermediate-rate spreading rates. Its thickness is more variable at slower spreading rates, and in some places it may be missing entirely. The porosity and permeability decrease by a factor of ten in the sheeted dikes, which lie beneath the extrusive layer. As the ocean crust ages and cools, its porosity decreases and the vigor of hydrothermal circulation decreases. In addition to these time varying factors, other crustal accretion variables such as the spacing of first, second, and lower order tectonic boundaries, time-variable magma supply, and faulting create a spatially variable habitat for the oceanic subsurface biosphere. Dike intrusion at the Mid-Ocean Ridge is commonly accompanied by graben formation at the seafloor and, in some cases by eruption(s) of lava. The geometry of the dike and the location of the eruption(s) (if any) depend on many factors, including the stress state of the crust and topographic gradient. The concomitant increase in the release of volatiles and the creation of fractures often create ideal conditions for significant microbial blooms. The commonly observed "snow-blower" vents are the most obvious manifestation of this process. The diking process is also intimately tied to the generation of event plumes, probably by driving existing subsurface fluid reservoirs up into the ocean. Expulsions of subsurface microbes in event plumes that accompany dike injections and the pulse of heat and volatiles that follow them provide windows of opportunity to sample the microbial populations that could be similar to those that normally reside at greater depth in the ocean crust. In situ sampling of the microbial communities in the youngest upper oceanic crust remains challenging, and further success depends on further advances in drilling technology.

Export of reproductive products can increase recruitment in open areas, while movement of harvestable-sized animals provides benefits in the form of "spillover" from the refuge, resulting in elevated catch rates near closed area boundaries. Here, we evaluate potential spillover effects from four large marine protected areas in temperate New England waters, closed beginning in 1994. True spillover, as differentiated from seasonal, ontogenetic, or environmentally driven movements, requires differential densities within and adjacent to the closed areas. Density-related spillover, thus, is typified by a biomass or abundance gradient beginning at the boundary and declining as a function of increasing distance. Moderate rates of dispersion are required to establish the density gradient, which may be enhanced by differential distribution of fishing intensity. We tested for density gradients as a function of distance from the closed areas using otter trawl tow-by-tow data collected by scientific observers aboard commercial fishing vessels. Data were adjusted for tow duration (e.g., kg/h towed). A total of 51 species-area combinations were evaluated for the presence of density gradients consistent with implied spillover effects. Of this total, five species-area combinations exhibited statistically significant declines in catch rates with distance. These significant combinations were generally consistent with research vessel surveying information showing year-round catches higher inside the closed area as compared to adjacent open areas after they were closed (e.g., "reserve effects"). Combined groundfish species catches did not show significant declining trends as functions of distances from the four closed areas, nor did the numbers of species caught per haul. Haddock Melanogrammus aeglefinus associated with Closed Area I demonstrated the most pronounced apparent spillover, but the pattern of relative fish density at the reserve boundary exhibited a seasonal cycle associated with spawning. We conclude that spillover effects are not a universal consequence of siting marine protected areas in temperate waters but are related to the specifics of the degree of random and directional movements, the fishing intensity field in the adjoining open areas, seasonal migration patterns, and optimal habitat preferences of individual species in relation to the placement of reserve boundaries, all of which may confound the interpretation of spillover.

AN - 18067472; 6020437 AB - Established in 1992, Dry Tortugas National Park (DRTO) is one of the most pristine and remote parks in the National Park System. Located approximately 109 km from Key West, Florida, one of the purposes of establishing DRTO was to "protect and interpret a pristine subtropical marine ecosystem, including an intact coral reef ecosystem" (Public Law 102-525, 102nd Congress, 26 October 1992). Fulfilling this purpose has become increasingly difficult as visitation to DRTO has increased 400% over the last two decades, and boat registrations increased 50% during the 1990s. Clearly, potential threats to DRTO's natural and cultural resources have significantly increased since the last General Management Plan for DRTO was completed in 1983. An interdisciplinary team of scientists assessing the area's lush seagrass beds and corals as well as fishery resources undertook a site characterization. It was concluded that the snapper-grouper-grunt complex was overfished, anchor damage was evident, and water quality had at times degraded beyond acceptable state standards for bathing beaches. Clearly, these conditions were unacceptable according to DRTO's Congressional enabling legislation. Guided by National Park Service (NPS) policies pertaining to natural resource management (NPS-77) and presidential Executive Orders 13089 (coral reefs) and 13158 (marine protected areas), DRTO developed a list of draft management alternatives that would better protect the natural and cultural resources of the park, increase educational and scientific research opportunities, and improve the visitor experience. Here we discuss the rationale for developing, siting, and adopting the largest no-take Research Natural Area in the National Park System.

Currently, four land surface models (LSMs) are running in NLDAS both in retrospective mode and in real-time mode. All LSMs are driven by the same meteorologic forcing data and are initiated at the same time with the same relative soil wetness. This study intercompares these NLDAS soil moisture fields with each other and with available observations. The total water storage and the storage variability range are the foci of the study. The mean statistical properties and the spatial variation of these soil moisture fields along with their temporal change are investigated. Model soil moisture fields are compared to soil moisture observations in Illinois. The storage variability range in Arkansas-Red River basin is validated against a water balance diagnostic analysis using historical precipitation and streamflow data. There is better agreement between observed and simulated ranges of water storage variability than between observed and simulated amounts of total water storage. Significant differences are found between NLDAS-simulated soil moisture fields from the different models. Total water storage is found to be highly model dependent. There is better agreement between models in the water total water storage range than in the model values of total water storage. Total water storage ranges agree best in humid areas where variation in water storage is strongly driven by variation in precipitation. In very dry areas, agreement between simulated water storage ranges is weak because model differences have as much influence on water storage range as climate variability in these areas. Finally, the spin-up properties of the models and relationships between water storage properties and climate are investigated. The results of this study should provide important insights into the similarities and differences of the four LSMs in NLDAS. Differences in NLDAS soil moisture fields pose challenges to land surface modelers who intend to use soil moisture field from one model to initialize another model.

To this end, NOAA Fisheries, often in conjunction with fishery management councils, has designated various marine protected areas or marine managed areas (MMAs). We present here the results of a characterization study of 67 NOAA Fisheries MMAs that are currently part of the national MMA database. For a subset of 32 sites (48%), we evaluated their effectiveness and determined whether the design and management of the MMA included goals, targets, timelines, and monitoring practices. Large MMAs (>1,000 km super(2)) with year-round protections and restrictions are managed by NOAA Fisheries. The MMAs are frequently comanaged with other regional MMAs as part of programmatic systems (88%), such as fishery management plans or recovery plans for endangered and threatened species. Far fewer MMAs (38%) function as biologically linked and connected networks. Nearly half of the MMAs promulgate fishing regulations under the Magnuson-Stevens Act combined with laws for the protection of an endangered or threatened species, and more than half of the sites have been established since 1996. All sites in the subset have goals, but only 63% have specific targets and timelines associated with the goals. Monitoring, most frequently in the form of stock assessments, is routinely performed at 87% of the sites within the subset. Lastly, 50% of the sites were either effective or part of an effective program, as evaluated against an MMA's ability to achieve the goals associated with its designation.

A common characteristic of these studies is that they typically assume that fishermen have current information on catch rates at all fishing sites in the fishery, which implies a high degree of information sharing among fishermen while at sea. Using data from the Hawaii longline fishery, this paper tests this hypothesis, analyzing whether varying assumptions on information available to fishermen for basing spatial choices affects predictions regarding those decisions.

Since the United States possesses the world's largest exclusive economic zone (EEZ), managing LMRs within this broad expanse has proven difficult and, at times, highly contentious. There are multiple uses of the EEZ (e.g., extraction, tourism, conservation) that are sometimes very much at odds with one another. Mandates call for managing sustainable fisheries (extraction) while at the same time protecting marine mammals, endangered species, and non-target species (conservation). Traditional fisheries management in the United States is carried on today in a way that is very similar to that used by the U.S. Commission of Fish and Fisheries (the precursor to NOAA Fisheries) since 1871. The intent of fisheries management has always been to control fishing mortality rates. This has been accomplished by regulating the type and size of the gear used, the times of the year where fishing is open to extraction, and the locations where fishing is allowed. Through regulation of mesh net size, juvenile fish pass through the net and are protected. Regulating fishing gear such as bottom trawls seeks to protect both bottom habitat as well as demersal species. In recent times, the idea of limited entry (e.g., number of vessels permitted to fish), individual fishing quotas that contain total allowable catches, and the number of days at sea that are allowed for fishing are further attempts to lower fishing mortality rates and change the behavior of the fishers. Regulations on locations and times of the year that fishing is allowed have always attempted to protect species when they are most vulnerable to harvest (aggregating in order to spawn). Fisheries are managed in an arena of uncertainty because of an incomplete understanding of complex trophic-level dynamics that drive fish populations as well as changing abiotic factors (NRC 1999). Realizing that single-species management does not adequately address issues such as trophic-level interactions, essential fish habitat, bycatch and discards, and abiotic forcing (NMFS 2001), NOAA Fisheries has implemented area-based management to deal with these uncertainties, and councils have done ecosystem-based management. Throughout the EEZ, NOAA Fisheries has many area-based management units that offer additional protection to finfish, habitat, threatened and endangered species, and the habitat upon which they depend. The 23 NOAA Fisheries-administered federal fishery management zones found throughout the EEZ were created to better protect focal fish species and assemblages. For example, the Northeast Multispecies Closures on Georges Bank in the Gulf of Maine prohibit all bottom trawling for groundfish. This prohibition protects commercially important demersal species such as Atlantic cod Gadus morhua, haddock Melanogrammus aeglefinus, and winter flounder Pseudopleuronectes americanus. The 13 federal threatened and endangered critical habitat and species protected areas restrict types of fishing gear being deployed in specific geographic areas in order to protect endangered species such as the northern right whale Eubalaena glacialis. The Oculina Banks Habitat Area of Particular Concern off the Atlantic coast of Florida is one of the oldest protected areas (1984) administered by NOAA Fisheries and prohibits bottom trawling and other activities in order to protect the rare ivory tree coral Oculina varicosa. An excellent inventory of area-based protected sites can be found on NOAA's National Marine Protected Area Center web site (http://mpa.gov). Although the term "marine protected area" seems to be relatively recent, area-based management has been implemented by NOAA Fisheries for decades. By protecting not only focal species (e.g., Atlantic cod) but also such things as predator-prey interactions and habitat, it is hoped that area-based management will be an improvement over the shortcomings of the single-species management of the past (NRC 2001). These improvements will be realized in rebuilt fish stocks and sustainable fisheries for the future.

AN - 18062756; 6050004 AB - Restoring salmon populations depends on the ability to predict the consequences of improving aquatic habitats used by salmon. Using a Leslie matrix model for chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) that specifies transitions among spawning nest (redds), streams, tidal deltas, nearshore habitats, and the ocean, the relative importance of different habitats under three density-dependent scenarios are compared: juvenile density independence, density-dependent mortality within streams, delta, and nearshore, and density-dependent migration among streams, delta, and nearshore. Each scenario assumed density dependence during spawning. How these scenarios influenced priorities for habitat restoration are examined using a set of hypothetical watersheds whose habitat areas could be systematically varied, as well as the Duwamish and Skagit rivers. In all watersheds, the three scenarios shared high sensitivity to changes in nearshore and ocean mortality and produced similar responses to changes in other parameters controlling mortality (i.e., habitat quality). However, the three scenarios exhibited striking variation in population response to changes in habitat area (i.e. capacity). These findings indicate that nearshore habitat relationships may play significant roles for salmon populations and that the relative importance of restoring habitat area will depend on the mechanism of density dependence influencing salmon stocks.

In an unprecedented effort to protect these species from incidental harvest and to assist with stock rebuilding, the Pacific Fishery Management Council established two Cowcod Conservation Areas (CCAs) in the Southern California Bight in 2001, encompassing 14,1750 km super(2) (4,300 mi super(2)) and including key groundfish habitat. Targeted fishing for groundfishes is prohibited year-round in depths greater than 37 m. Evaluating the effectiveness of the CCAs depends on timely, accurate assessment of the response of target species to increased protection. With multi-institute support, we have initiated a monitoring program to collect baseline data on abundance, size, and distribution of the benthic fishes inside and around the CCAs and on the status and use of protected habitats. This nonextractive survey approach is based on video transect methodologies and direct observations of groundfishes, macroinvertebrates, their habitats, and incidence of fishing gear using an occupied research submersible and incorporates information from seafloor habitat maps and past and recent groundfish catch and effort records. Survey design and results will serve as the foundation for a long-term monitoring program for the CCAs as well as a model for monitoring future deepwater marine protected areas off California.

Within China, humpback dolphins range from the Vietnam border north to the mouth of the Yangtze River, and there are estimated to be about eight populations in China. Little is known of stock structure, except for a preliminary conclusion that animals in Xiamen and Hong Kong represent separate populations. Abundance has been estimated only for Hong Kong and the Pearl River Estuary (about 1,500 animals) and Xiamen (80 dolphins). In the early 1960s, 36 animals were killed in Xiamen Harbor, but other direct takes appear to be rare. Incidental catches are known in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Estuary, but their impacts are not known. Only preliminary work on life history has been conducted. There appears to be a calving peak from spring to summer, and calves are about 100 cm long at birth. Scant data indicate that sexual maturity in females may occur at about 9-10 years of age, with males maturing later. Dolphins in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Estuary have individual ranges averaging 99.5 km super(2), only a small portion of the population's range. Humpback dolphins in China feed on several species of demersal and estuarine fishes, with little evidence of predation on cephalopods or crustaceans. Contaminants have been evaluated in some areas, and mercury and DDT concentrations in particular appear to be high and potentially health-threatening. An assessment of trends and stranding mortality in the Hong Kong and the Pearl River Estuary population suggests that this stock is probably not decreasing at present. The Xiamen stock is thought to be decreasing, but its status has not been reliably assessed.

AN - 18059481; 6050092 AB - Linear mixed models are used to predict winter steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) redd density from geology, land use, and climate variables in the Willamette River basin, Oregon. Landscape variable included in the set of best models were alluvium, hillslope < 6%, landslide-derived geology, young (<40 years) forest, shrub vegetation, agricultural land use, and mafic volcanic geology. Modelling the temporal correlation between annual redd counts was enabled by this approach at the same site while extracting patterns of relative redd density across sites that are consistent even among years with varying strengths of steelhead returns. The model is used to predict redd density (redds per kilometre) upstream of 111 probable migration barriers as well as the 95% confidence interval around the redd density prediction and the total number of potential redds behind each barrier. Using a metric that incorporates uncertainty, high-priority barriers were identified that might have been overlooked using only stream length or mean predicted fish benefit and otherwise similar barriers were clearly differentiated. It is shown that landscape features can be used to describe and predict the distribution of winter steelhead redds and that these models can be used immediately to improve decision-making for anadromous salmonids.

AN - 18059315; 6020446 AB - Although the title of this symposium implied a focus on fully protected marine areas, most presentations actually dealt with a range of traditional "marine protected areas" or "marine managed areas" that offer less than "full" resource protection. Some presentations noted a backlash against establishing no-take reserves. Here we provide 17 reasons why there is a strong scientific, management, and public interest in using no-take marine reserves to build sustainable fisheries and protect marine ecosystems. We also discuss some underlying technical and philosophical issues involved in the opposition to their usage.

A modification of the size-advantage hypothesis, the expected reproductive success threshold model, proposes that sperm competition and size-fecundity skew can strongly affect reproductive pay-offs. Size-fecundity skew occurs if a large female's fecundity is markedly higher than the aggregate of the other members of her social group and , together with paternity dilution from sperm competition, can produce situations in which large females benefit by deferring sex change to smaller females. Deferral by large females can create sex-size distributions characterized by the presence of large females and small sex-changed males, and it is precisely these distributions that the traditional size-advantage model cannot explain. We tested the predictions of the new model with the bucktooth parrotfish, Sparisoma radians, on coral reefs in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Collections and spawning observations determined that the local environmental regime of S. radians is characterized by pervasive sperm competition (accompanying 30% of spawns) and factors that can produce substantial size-fecundity skew in social groups. Dominant male removal experiments demonstrate that the largest females in social groups often do not change sex when provided an opportunity. Instead, smaller, lower-ranking females change sex when a harem vacancy arises. This pattern of sex change is in contrast to virtually all previous studies of social control of sex change in fishes, but provides strong support for the general predictions of the expected reproductive success threshold model.

This Indian Ocean Pattern (IOP) is characterized by zonal surface wind perturbations along the equator, as well as east-west contrasts in the anomalous sea surface temperature (SST), surface pressure, and precipitation fields. The IOP is seen to be linked to the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon in the tropical Pacific. By constructing composite charts and analyzing the heat budget for the top ocean layer, it is illustrated that the ENSO-related changes in the surface wind modify the intensity of oceanic upwelling, horizontal temperature advection, and surface heat fluxes in various parts of the IO basin. These processes lead to SST perturbations with opposite signs in the eastern and western equatorial IO. Further diagnosis of the model output reveals that some strong IOP episodes occur even in the near absence of ENSO influences. In such IOP events that do not coincide with prominent ENSO development, the most noteworthy signal is a zonally elongated sea level pressure anomaly situated south of Australia during the southern winter. The anomalous atmospheric circulation on the equatorward flank of this feature contributes to the initiation of IOP-like events when the ENSO forcing is weak. Both simulated and observational data show that the pressure anomaly south of Australia is part of a hemisphere-wide pattern bearing a considerable resemblance to the Antarctic Oscillation. This annular mode of variability is characterized by opposite pressure changes in the midlatitude and polar zones, and is only weakly correlated with ENSO. The findings reported here indicate that the IOP is attributable to multiple factors, including remote influences due to ENSO and extratropical changes, as well as internal air-sea feedbacks occurring within the IO basin.

Hair analysis can be particularly advantageous for drugs such as amphetamine and methamphetamine that are rapidly excreted. Confirmation of abuse of these stimulants is complicated by the fact that some forms are found in legitimate medications. Examination of the enantiomeric composition of amphetamine and methamphetamine in hair samples can provide valuable assistance in interpreting drug testing results. In this work, we developed a liquid chromatographic method for the separation of amphetamine and methamphetamine enantiomers isolated from human hair samples. The drug enantiomers were separated on a chiral stationary phase after derivatization with an achiral fluorescent agent. The methodology was evaluated with a Standard Reference Material that contained several drugs of abuse including amphetamine and methamphetamine.

In this study four estuarine microalgal species, a planktonic chlorophyte (Dunaliella tertiolecta), a benthic chlorophyte (Ankistrodesmus sp.), a cryptophyte (Storeatula major) and a dinoflagellate (Amphidinium operculatum), were exposed to atrazine to determine toxicity and identify factors that might influence species sensitivity. Atrazine effects were examined at the population (cell density, primary productivity and biomass), cellular (biovolume), and subcellular (pigment composition, protein concentration and lipid concentration) levels. Atrazine significantly decreased cell density, productivity rate, biomass and biovolume in all the algal populations tested at atrazine concentrations greater than or equal to 12.5 mu g l super(-1). Toxicity values (96 h EC sub(50) values) for the four species ranged from 11.87 to 146.71 mu g l super(-1). Species sensitivity rankings varied with endpoint measured. Overall, Ankistrodesmus sp. was the most sensitive species followed by Storeatula, Dunaliella and Amphidinium. Cellular biovolume was a significantly more sensitive test endpoint for Amphidinium, chlorophyll a was a significantly more sensitive test endpoint for Ankistrodesmus sp., and phototrophic carbon assimilation was a significantly more sensitive test endpoint for both Storeatula and Amphidinium. Algal subcellular responses to atrazine were also species dependent. Chlorophyll a concentration per cell decreased in the green algae, increased in Amphidinium and did not change in Storeatula. Total lipids per cell increased in Storeatula, decreased in Amphidinium and did not change in the green algae. Ankistrodesmus sp. pigments were not significantly altered after atrazine exposure; however selected Amphidinium pigments increased per cell, and selected Dunaliella and Storeatula pigments decreased per cell in the atrazine treatments. Atrazine significantly reduced cellular biovolume in all test species. Species with smaller biovolumes and less chlorophyll a per cell tended to be more sensitive to atrazine exposure based on population growth rate.

Although primary productivity measurements are usually used to assess responses to limiting factors, the rates are proportional to biomass and inversely related to grazing pressure during experimental incubations. Alternatively, carbon-specific growth-rate determinations provide insights into physiological responses without the confounding effects of biomass and grazing. The objective of this study was to quantify the growth-rate responses of phytoplankton to enhanced nutrient availability (nitrate and phosphate) over a range of in situ irradiances. Growth rates were determined based on chlorophyll a-specific super(14)C-uptake rates by phytoplankton. Phytoplankton demonstrated high (24 h) growth rates when exposed to increased concentrations of limiting nutrients, independent of the surface irradiances (12-41%). Growth-rate responses were also compared with the biomass (chlorophyll a) responses and community composition. Observed and estimated phytoplankton biomass changes during the incubations differed, emphasizing the structural role of grazers on the phytoplankton community. The phytoplankton community in Galveston Bay has the potential to instantaneously respond to nutrient pulses, facilitating diatom biomass accumulations in spring and summer and small, flagellated species and cyanobacteria during periods of low nutrient inputs. Thus, Galveston Bay phytoplankton biomass and community composition reflect a dynamic balance between the frequency of nutrient pulsing and grazing intensity.

Therefore, CPC is promising for craniofacial and orthopaedic repairs. However, its low strength and lack of macroporosity limit its use. This study investigated CPC reinforcement with absorbable fibers, the effects of fiber volume fraction on mechanical properties and macroporosity, and the cytotoxicity of CPC-fiber composite. The rationale was that large-diameter absorbable fibers would initially strengthen the CPC graft, then dissolve to form long cylindrical macropores for colonization by osteoblasts. Flexural strength, work-of-fracture (toughness), and elastic modulus were measured vs. fiber volume fraction from 0% (CPC Control without fibers) to 60%. Cell culture was performed with osteoblast- like cells, and cell viability was quantified using an enzymatic assay. Flexural strength (mean +/- SD; n=6) of CPC with 60% fibers was 13.5 +/- 4.4 MPa, three times higher than 3.9 +/- 0.5 MPa of CPC Control. Work-of-fracture was increased by 182 times. Long cylindrical macropores 293 +/- 46 mu m in diameter were created in CPC after fiber dissolution, and the CPC-fiber scaffold reached a macroporosity of 55% and a total porosity of 81%. The new CPC-fiber formulation supported cell adhesion, proliferation and viability. The method of using large-diameter absorbable fibers in bone graft for mechanical properties and formation of long cylindrical macropores for bone ingrowth may be applicable to other tissue engineering materials.

Implanted biomaterials frequently evoke inflammatory responses that are complex and not well understood at present. The goals of this work were to develop improved measurement methods for the quantification of cellular inflammatory responses to biomaterials and obtain data that lead to an enhanced understanding of the ways in which the body responds to the introduction of biomaterials. To evaluate the biocompatibility of materials, we established a system that allows for the analysis and quantitation of cellular inflammatory responses in vitro. In this study, the inflammatory responses of murine macrophages (RAW 264.7) were analyzed. The cells were incubated with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres in the presence and absence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at 8 and 18 h. The analysis of the genetic material obtained from the cells was quantitated using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The cell populations treated with LPS or PMMA microspheres singly resulted in an elevation of cytokine levels compared to the untreated control. LPS resulted in a 258-fold increase, while PMMA resulted in an 87.9-fold increase at 8 h. RAW 264.7 cells incubated with LPS and PMMA particles demonstrated a synergistic effect by producing a marked increase in the level of cytokine expression, 336-fold greater than that of the untreated control at 8 h. Fluorescence microscopy studies that assessed cellular viability were also performed and are consistent with the RT-PCR results.

However, its low strength limits CPC to only nonstress repairs. This study aimed to reinforce CPC with meshes to increase strength, and to form macropores in CPC for bone ingrowth after mesh dissolution. A related aim was to evaluate the biocompatibility of the new CPC- mesh composite. Absorbable polyglactin meshes, a copolymer of poly(glycolic) and poly(lactic) acids, were incorporated into CPC to provide strength and then form interconnected cylindrical macropores suitable for vascular ingrowth. The composite flexural strength, work-of-fracture, and elastic modulus were measured as a function of the number of mesh sheets in CPC ranging from 1 (a mesh on the tensile side of the specimen) up to 13 (mesh sheets throughout the entire specimen), and as a function of immersion time in a physiological solution from 1 to 84 days. Cell culture was performed with osteoblast-like cells and the cell viability was quantified using an enzymatic assay. The strengths (mean +/- SD; n = 6) of CPC containing 13 or 6 meshes were 24.5 +/- 7.8 and 19.7 +/- 4.3 MPa, respectively, not significantly different from each other; both were significantly higher than 8.8 +/- 1.9 MPa of CPC without mesh (Tukey's at 0.95). The work-of-fracture of CPC with 13 or 6 meshes was 3.35 +/- 0.80 and 2.95 +/- 0.58 kJ/m super(2), respectively, two orders of magnitude higher than 0.021 +/- 0.006 kJ/m super(2) of CPC without mesh. Interconnected macropores were formed in CPC at 84 days' immersion. The new CPC-mesh formulation supported the adhesion, spreading, proliferation, and viability of osteoblast-like cells in vitro. In conclusion, absorbable meshes in CPC increased the implant strength by three- fold and work-of-fracture by 150 times; interconnected macropores suitable for bone ingrowth were created in CPC after mesh dissolution. The higher strength may help extend the use of CPC to larger stress-bearing repairs, and the macropores may facilitate tissue ingrowth and integration of CPC with adjacent bone.

The objective of this study was to elucidate the effect of structure and composition of resins on the biaxial flexure strength (BFS) and the degree of conversion (DC) of composites attained after photo- polymerization. Two series of 2,2-bis[p-(2'-hydroxy-3'- methacryloxypropoxy)phenyl]propane (Bis-GMA)/triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA)/X (X being a neutral or acidic comonomer) ternary resins were prepared and mixed with a mass fraction of 40% of zirconia-hybridized ACP. Both unfilled copolymers and their composites were evaluated for BFS (dry and wet specimens after 2 weeks of immersion in buffered saline) and for DC (after 24 h at 23 degree C). It was found that for the neutral X monomers, no correlation existed between the hydrophobic/hydrophilic character of the X monomer and the BFS values of the immersed composites. A flexible monomethacrylate yielded copolymers and composites with the highest DC. For the resins utilizing the acidic comonomers, methacrylic acid and mono-4-(methacryloyloxy) ethyltrimellitate (4MET), dry composites with improved BFS values were obtained. 4MET composites exhibited the least loss of strength of all the ternary resin ACP materials. The effect of acidic X on DC was most pronounced for maleic acid copolymers.

However, its low strength, long hardening time, and lack of macroporosity limit its use. This study aimed to develop fast-setting and antiwashout CPC scaffolds with high strength and tailored macropore formation rates. Chitosan, sodium phosphate, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) were used to render CPC fast-setting and resistant to washout. Absorbable fibers and mannitol porogen were incorporated into CPC for strength and macropores for bone ingrowth. Flexural strength, work- of-fracture, and elastic modulus were measured vs. immersion time in a physiological solution. Hardening time (mean +/- SD; n = 6) was 69.5 +/- 2.1 min for CPC-control, 9.3 +/- 2.8 min for CPC-HPMC-mannitol, 8.2 +/- 1.5 min for CPC- chitosan-mannitol, and 6.7 +/- 1.6 min for CPC-chitosan-mannitol-fiber. The latter three compositions were resistant to washout, whereas the CPC-control paste showed washout in a physiological solution. Immersion for 1 day dissolved mannitol and created macropores in CPC. CPC-chitosan-mannitol-fiber scaffold had a strength of 4.6 +/- 1.4 MPa, significantly higher than 1.2 +/- 0.1 MPa of CPC- chitosan-mannitol scaffold and 0.3 +/- 0.2 MPa of CPC-HPMC-mannitol scaffold (Tukey's). The strength of CPC-chitosan-mannitol-fiber scaffold was maintained up to 42 days and then decreased because of fiber degradation. Work-of-fracture and elastic modulus showed similar trends. Long cylindrical macropore channels were formed in CPC after fiber dissolution. The resorbable, fast-setting, anti- washout and strong CPC scaffold should be useful in craniofacial and orthopedic repairs. The novel method of combining fast- and slow-dissolution porogens/fibers to produce scaffolds with high strength and tailored macropore formation rates to match bone healing rates may have wide applicability to other biomaterials.

Until recently, Pacific harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardsi) on the west coast increased an average of 5% to 7% per year as a result of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (Brown and Kohlman super(2)). Pacific salmon are seasonally important prey for harbor seals (Roffe and Mate, 1984; Olesiuk, 1993); therefore quantifying and understanding the interaction between these two protected species is important for biologically sound management strategies. Because some Pacific salmonid species in a given area may be threatened or endangered, while others are relatively abundant, it is important to distinguish the species of salmonid upon which the harbor seals are preying. This study takes the first step in understanding these interactions by using molecular genetic tools for species- level identification of salmonid skeletal remains recovered from Pacific harbor seal scats.

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.

This review recognises those elements that are common to most capture and tagging projects, identifies collective knowledge of animal and human health concerns during handling of odontocetes and provides guidelines for safer handling techniques. Handling during tagging projects can involve chase, capture, restraint, manipulation, tag application, often removal from the water and release at the capture site. The risk of injury during capture will be reduced by using experienced personnel, adequate technical support and proper equipment. For the duration of the handling process, the animal's stimulus response should be monitored as well as its cardiovascular and respiratory function. Stress response of the odontocete is monitored by behavioural assessments, physiological monitoring and/or blood sampling. Possible complications from tag placement may include infection at the implant site leading to tag failure, behavioural alterations in response to tag placement and tag rejection. During handling of an odontocete, there is the potential for disease transmission between humans and the animal. Exposure to diseases is minimised by wearing protective clothing and gear and exercising caution when working around the animal's blowhole.

AN - 17716579; 6127437 AB - Twenty-six salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) stocks from the Pacific Northwest are listed as either threatened or endangered. A number of anthropogenic factors, likely including degradation of habitat by chemical contaminant exposure, have contributed to their decline. Techniques that can assess injury or judge the efficacy of regulatory actions on the recovery of this species are needed. Intrinsic birth rates, death rates, and (or) growth rates are examined to try to understand why a population is changing. However, salmon populations are influenced by other species in the community. To address this issue, a parsimonious three-trophic-level community model consisting of prey, salmon, and parasites was developed and the model's response to one anthropogenic factor (contaminant exposure) was examined using qualitative analysis. This community model may not only provide valuable insight into salmon survival but also may broaden the approaches available to elucidate direct and indirect effects. It is demonstrated analystically that some community members, possibly salmon themselves, might be ambiguous or unreliable variables to monitor. It is also demonstrated that other species in the community, such as parasites, may be more sensitive than salmon in monitoring the influence of anthropogenic factors such as contaminants.

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.

The model uses the maximum-likelihood method with the Akaike information criterion, which provides an objective criterion for model selection. An adequate distribution for describing a single cohort is selected from available probability density functions, which are expressed by location and scale parameters. Daily relative increase rates of the location parameter are expressed by a multivariate logistic function with environmental factors for each day and categorical variables indicating animal ages as independent variables. Daily relative increase rates of the scale parameter are expressed by an equation describing the relationship with the daily relative increase rate of the location parameter. Corbicula japonica grows to a modal shell length of 0.7 mm during the first year in Lake Abashiri. Compared with the attainable maximum size of about 30 mm, the growth of juveniles is extremely slow because their growth is less susceptible to environmental factors until the second winter. The extremely slow growth in Lake Abashiri could be a geographical genetic variation within C. japonica.

PEMA scaffolds were seeded with primary chick calvarial osteoblasts and cultured under static conditions for up to 8 weeks. Bone formation within porous PEMA scaffolds was confirmed by the application of histologic stains to intact PEMA disks. Disks were treated with Alizarin red to visualize calcium deposits and with Sirius red to visualize regions of collagen deposition. DNA analysis confirmed that cells reached confluence on the scaffolds after 7 weeks in static culture. The formation of bone in PEMA scaffolds was investigated with water proton MRM. Quantitative MRM maps of the magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) yielded maps of protein deposition, and magnetic resonance (MR) relaxation times (T1 and T2) yielded maps of mineral deposition. The location of newly formed bone and local mineral concentrations were confirmed by XMT. By comparing MRM and XMT data from selected regions-of-interest in one sample, the inverse relationship between the MR relaxation times and mineral concentration was validated, and calibration curves for estimating the mineral content of cell- seeded PEMA scaffolds from quantitative MRM images were developed.

As it does so, the selection of species to culture and the location of culture operations are generating much debate about the role of government entities, especially agriculture and conservation agencies, in the management of this development. Many in the industry argue that regulations are already too onerous, subsidies are too few, governmental encouragement is too little, and that the best way to correct these problems is to place all control over the development in governmental agriculture agencies. Others argue that the potential environmental impacts of aquaculture could be so adverse, or at least so uncertain that conservation agencies need to impose even more controls. This debate occurred in Texas in the 1980s as private aquaculture sought to increase the culture of nonindigenous species, in both private and public waters. The potential effects on native species in public waters led to legislation that attempted to balance economic development with environmental safeguards. However, only Texas was affected by the statute and subsequent regulations. Since the potential environmental affects of aquaculture development will undoubtedly cross local, state, and tribal boundaries, it is now felt by many that the regulation of the species cultured and sites selected should be a federal issue. The same questions about who within the federal government should have responsibility for managing aquaculture development require resolution.

As with captive propagation programs for other vertebrates, difficulties with reintroduction to the natural environment may impede success in achieving the programs objectives. Strategies for reintroduction of anadromous salmonid captive broodstocks in the United States and Canada include release of captively reared adults (currently four programs), stocking their offspring as eyed eggs (two programs), parr (six programs), or smolts (nine programs). Captive broodstock programs that release adults considered the management objectives of (i) evaluating of different reintroduction strategies, and (ii) spreading the risk of failure of any one particular strategy to be much more important than programs that do not release adults. This distinction indicates that the programs releasing adults consider the strategy to be an experimental one that may serve to offset potential risks associated with juvenile release options. However, the finding that preventing extinction was considered to be very important in adult and juvenile release programs alike indicates that programs releasing adults believe the strategy, at a minimum, will not impede that objective. We summarized the salmonid literature on (1) natural and sexual selection during reproduction, (2) homing and straying, (3) rearing effects on social behavior, (4) domestication, and (5) survival as it relates to biological trade-offs of different reintroduction strategies for captive broodstocks. The adult release strategy provides potential biological benefits that include the opportunity for natural and sexual selection to occur on the spawning grounds - selection that is relaxed during artificial spawning. Adult release and egg stocking may reduce potential for unnaturally high straying rates and may minimize domestication selection of the offspring compared to programs that artificially spawn adults and release their offspring as smolts. The potential benefits of adult and egg releases must be weighed against (and may be offset by) the greater F sub(1) production that could be achieved by releasing hatchery-reared smolts. A variety of reintroduction strategies will likely continue to be appropriate for captive broodstock programs.

Resulting smolts were tagged, released, and recovered as maturing adults to evaluate marine survival. For the 1996 brood, 75 families were maintained in separate freshwater raceways for 10 months. Approximately 100 fish from each family were tagged with passive integrated transponder tags, pooled by type, and cultured until age 2. An additional group was tagged with coded-wire tags and reared in the same manner. For the 1997 brood, 80 families were coded-wire-tagged, separated by breeding type, and cultured at different densities. Size-at-age and survival were reduced significantly in progeny of resident females when compared with progeny from anadromous females during the first 2 months after first feeding. No significant differences were observed in subsequent growth or survival through age 2. A higher proportion of smolting at age 2 and a lower proportion of early male maturity was observed in families from anadromous parents. Smolts produced by anadromous parents had four to five times higher marine survival than those from resident parents. While smolting proportions and smolt survival were lower for the progeny of freshwater resident fish, the results indicate that significant numbers of smolts and adults can still be produced by populations landlocked for up to 70 years and 20 generations. The results have substantial implications for the use of natural freshwater environments for the preservation of endangered anadromous stocks of rainbow trout, the rehabilitation of anadromous stocks, and the actual effective breeding size of anadromous rainbow trout populations.

The crystal structure determination of YffB was undertaken as part of a structural genomics effort in order to assist with the functional assignment of the protein. The structure was determined at 1.0 A resolution by single-wavelength anomalous diffraction. The fold is very similar to that of arsenate reductase, which is an extension of the thioredoxin fold. Given the conservation of the functionally important residues and the ability to bind glutathione, YffB is likely to function as a GSH-dependent thiol reductase.

Such models require estimates of biomass across the spectrum of species assemblages, along with detailed knowledge of trophic interactions. In order to construct a food web model for the northeast USA continental shelf ecosystem, we estimated time series of demersal and pelagic species biomasses for four areas (Mid-Atlantic Bight, Southern New England, Georges Bank, Gulf of Maine) using spring and autumn research survey data Species were grouped based on food habits and taxonomic relationships. Survey catchabilities were assumed to be similar within each group. We used a Bayesian estimation framework to characterize uncertainty in our results. An informative prior distribution for survey catchability was derived from published studies. Observed survey catchability data were taken from published studies and derived from stock assessments of individual species by season. Our results show that biomass production differed among regions, ranging from roughly 13 g/m2 in the Mid-Atlantic Bight to less than 10 g/m2 in the Gulf of Maine. Our results also show that dramatic changes have occurred in the biomasses of major demersal and pelagic species groups across areas. Demersal groundfish biomass decreased from the 1960s to the early-1990s but has since increased. Pelagic biomass was low and relatively stables during the 1970s to early-1980s and has been high during the 1990s-present. Determining whether pelagic forage species will decrease if demersal predators continue to increase will be important for implementing an ecosystem approach to fisheries management in this region.

In the USA, the Sustainable Fisheries Act requires that management measures should prevent overfishing to achieve optimum yields. However, translating this legal mandate into tangible goals and actions presents several technical challenges. In this paper, we describe our experiences with developing goals and implementing strategies to rebuild New England groundfish stocks. Maximum sustainable yields and biomass reference points for chronically overfished stocks are poorly defined unless sufficient data are available from periods of low fishing mortality rates and relatively high stock size. The conundrum of how to set meaningful rebuilding goals given limited information on population dynamics and trophic interactions of a rebuilt stock can be addressed through adaptive management. Monitoring the pace of rebuilding relative to changes in life history parameters and recruitment is important for a successful implementation strategy. Periodic re-evaluation of rebuilding targets is also needed to address uncertainties due to density dependence, trophic interactions or environmental factors.

The colocation of four instruments for the measurement of volatile organic carbon compounds (VOCs) allowed a unique opportunity for the intercomparison of the different in-situ measuring techniques. The instruments included three gas chromatographs, each with a different type of detector, and a Proton-Transfer-Reaction Mass Spectrometer (PTR-MS) with each system designed to measure a different suite of VOCs. Correlation plots and correlation statistics are presented for species measured by more than one of these instruments. The GC instruments were all in agreement to within 10-20% (slope) with coefficients of variation (r super(2)) of greater than or equal to 0.85. The PTR-MS agreement with other instruments was more dependent on species with some very good agreements (r super(2) values of similar to 0.95 for some aromatics), but isoprene, acetaldehyde and propene were substantially less highly correlated (0.55 < r super(2) < 0.80). At least part of these differences were undoubtedly due to the timing of sample acquisition in an environment in which VOC levels changed very rapidly on both quantitative and temporal scales.

We found oil on 78 of 91 beaches randomly selected according to their oiling history. Surface oiling was recorded for randomly placed quadrats, which were then excavated and examined for subsurface oil. The cumulative area of beach contaminated by surface or subsurface oil was estimated at 11.3 ha. Surface oil varied little with tide height, but subsurface oil was more prevalent at the middle tide heights. The mass of remaining subsurface oil is conservatively estimated at 55 600 kg. Analysis of terpanes indicated that over 90% of the surface oil and all of the subsurface oil was from the Exxon Valdez and that Monterey Formation oil deposited after the 1964 Alaska earthquake accounted for the remaining surface oil. These results indicate that oil from the Exxon Valdez remains by far the largest reservoir of biologically available polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on beaches impacted by the spill and that biota dependent on these beaches risk continued exposure.

Endosulfan, an agricultural insecticide, was selected as a model contaminant for studying direct toxic effects as well as uptake of this model contaminant by estuarine biota. The grass shrimp, Palaemonetes pugio, and the mummichog, Fundulus heteroclitus, showed significant mortality (96 h LC sub(50): 0.12 and 2.2 mu g/l, respectively) to endosulfan as predicted by laboratory bioassays. There was no effect on fiddler crabs and eastern oysters. The mesocosm was also useful in demonstrating the bioconcentration of endosulfan by eastern oysters (bioconcentration factor [BCF]=375) similar to results reported in field studies. This study illustrates the modular estuarine mesocosms' ability to detect direct effects of pesticide exposure and the uptake of a pesticide by estuarine fauna.

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.

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.

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.

Since 1972, harbor seals in Oregon and elsewhere have increased in abundance, concurrent with a decline in salmonid and other fish stocks. Concern about seal predation on salmonids prompted a study of harbor seal diets. Scat from seals in the Umpqua River, OR, was examined from 1997-98 to determine whether they were actively feeding in the river. Analysis of 651 scats revealed fish otoliths and bones, which were used to estimate taxa, minimum number of individuals, and frequency of occurrence of prey consumed. Most of the prey fish were species inhabiting marine and estuarine areas exclusively, indicating that harbor seals forage mainly at sea. Salmonid remains were found in 6% of the samples. Molecular genetic analysis of the salmonid bones showed that most of the salmonids eaten were chinook or coho salmon or steelhead trout.

Juveniles were collected in 1994-97 to obtain life history data and derive equations describing growth. Spotted seatrout juvenile growth was similar among three geographical subdivisions of the bay. However, wet-weight for one of six cohorts categorized by month of hatchdate was significantly different than the others, and a significant difference in length was observed for another cohort.

Paper No. #854 N1 - Last updated - 2010-05-03 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Patterns of annual increment formation in otoliths of pomacentrids in the tropical western Atlantic: implications for population age-structure examination AN - 19226798; 5808142 AB - Only recently have managers and scientists begun to collect age and growth information necessary for effective management of tropical marine ichthyofaunal communities. The majority of studies that have taken place in the tropics have focused on the Pacific Ocean, primarily on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. In this study, otoliths were collected from 2 pomacentrids at 5 locations in the tropical western Atlantic, and examined for their ability to provide information on age. The collection sites for these 2 species, Stegastes planifrons and S. partitus, represent different ranges of annual temperature variation. Otoliths were examined for the presence of clear and interpretable increments as well as timing of increment formation. Annual increment quality varied between species and between regions, with the trend being decreasing clarity with decreasing temperature range. However, interpretable increments were discovered in areas with as little as a 3 degree C annual water temperature fluctuation. Marginal increment analysis of S. planifrons otoliths revealed that increments formed on the otoliths were deposited once a year during the spring or early summer, suggesting that pomacentrids in the tropical western Atlantic may be aged using the same techniques as in other tropical regions and temperate environments. Counts of annual increments revealed that S. planifrons was significantly longer-lived than predicted by other methods. Information on age and growth collected for reef fishes in studies such as this should provide managers with the life-history information needed to assess population stability and production. This information will be more difficult to obtain in low-latitude regions of the tropical western Atlantic.

AN - 36431487; 10541 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 canary rockfish, darkblotched rockfish, lingcod, and Pacific Ocean perch. The Secretary of Commerce has declared nine fish species managed under the FMP to be overfished, based on criteria and procedures in the authorizing legislation and overfishing criteria adopted by the Pacific Fishery Management Council under Amendment 11 to the FMP. The amendment proposed would adopt rebuilding plans for the four abovementioned species in order to rebuild these stocks to a size capable of supporting minimum sustainable yield (MSY) or to stock sizes less than MSY if such stock size results in long-term net benefits to the nation. A range of management measures implemented through the annual/biennial harvest specification process, would be used to constrain total fishing mortality within levels identified by specified parameters. The range of measures is not expected to differ in kind among the alternative amendment proposals considered. The alternatives are structures around management targets for each of the four species. The rebuilding plans would specify a target year based on the time required for the stock to reach MSY. The target year is bounded by a lower limit defined at the time required for rebuilding in the absence of fishing. Rebuilding plans for stock with a lower limit time frame of less than 10 years must have a target less than or equal to 10 years. The mandating legislation states that the rebuilding time should be as short as possible, taking into account the status and biology of the overfished stocks and the needs of the fishing communities. In most cases, due to the biology of the stocks and the needs of the affected fishing communities, the rebuilding time will be greater than the minimum rebuilding time. Five primary alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, and several intermediate alternatives are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative would manage the four stocks using targets identified under current interim rebuilding plan for each. For this reason, the preferred alternative could also be considered the No Action Alternative. Under the preferred alternative, the probabilities of MSY and the years by which MSY would be reached are 80 percent by 2030 for darkbloched rockfish, 70 percent by 2027 for Pacific Ocean perch, 60 percent by 2074 for canary rockfish, and 60 percent by 2009 for lingcod. 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. 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.

Preparation date: December 12, 2003 N1 - Last updated - 2011-12-16 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Using Bioinspired Thermally Triggered Liposomes for High-Efficiency Mixing and Reagent Delivery in Microfluidic Devices AN - 17991433; 5937003 AB - High-efficiency mixing is of fundamental importance for the successful development and application of lab-on-a-chip devices. In this report, we present the use of bioinspired thermally triggered liposomes for the controlled delivery and subsequent rapid mixing of reagents in a microfluidic device. In this technique, reagents are encapsulated inside the aqueous interior of liposomes that are dispersed evenly throughout a microfluidic system. Mixing of the encapsulated reagent and reaction do not occur until the reagent is released by a thermal trigger. This approach takes advantage of the dramatically increased lipid membrane permeability of liposomes near the gel-to-liquid phase transition temperature (T sub(m)) to deliver reagents at a precise location in the microfluidic device through the modulation of temperature. Implementation of this technique requires the encapsulation of the desired reagent in a liposome whose formulation has an appropriate T sub(m), as well as accurate spatial control of the temperature in the microfluidic device. As the liposomes are uniformly dispersed through the microfluidic channel, mixing occurs quite rapidly upon the release of the reagent. We demonstrate this technique by using several formulations of thermally triggered liposomes to release the hydrophilic fluorescent dyes at controlled locations in a polycarbonate microfluidic device. Additionally, we demonstrate a DNA labeling reaction using liposomes in a capillary-based microfluidic device. Under the conditions studied here, mixing and reaction are complete in similar to 200 mu m of channel length. We believe this approach holds great promise for the performance of rapid high-throughput assays and in particular for biological analytes whose native environment is mimicked by the liposome.

DNA damage can lead to necrosis, apoptosis, or heritable mutations, and therefore has the potential to impact populations as well as individuals. Single cell gel electrophoresis (the comet assay) is a simple and sensitive technique used to examine DNA damage in single cells. The lesion-specific DNA repair enzyme formamidopyrimidine glycoslyase (Fpg) can be used in conjunction with the comet assay to detect 8-oxoguanine and other damaged bases, which are products of oxidative damage. Fpg was used to detect oxidative DNA damage in experiments where isolated oyster (Crassostrea virginica) and clam (Mercenaria mercenaria) hemocytes were exposed to hydrogen peroxide. Standard enzyme buffers used with Fpg and the comet assay produced unacceptably high amounts of DNA damage in the marine bivalve hemocytes used in this study necessitating a modification of existing methods. A sodium chloride based reaction buffer was successfully used. Oxidative DNA damage can be detected in isolated oyster and clam hemocytes using Fpg and the comet assay when the sodium chloride reaction buffer and protocols outlined here are employed. The use of DNA repair enzymes, such as Fpg, in conjunction with the comet assay expands the usefulness and sensitivity of this assay, and provides important insights into the mechanisms of DNA damage.

AN - 71461093; 14672990 AB - Aeolid nudibranchs maintain nematocysts sequestered from their cnidarian prey for protection against predators. Selection for nematocyst incorporation is a function of diet and prey choice, but ratios vary among nudibranchs feeding on a given diet, indicating that other factors may be involved. It is proposed that the presence of predators influences nematocyst incorporation. Nematocyst uptake in the nudibranch Flabellina verrucosa collected from the southern Gulf of Maine was examined in response to various potential predators, including Crossaster papposus, Tautogolabrus adspersus, and Carcinus maenas. Nudibranchs in individual flow-through containers feeding on a diet of the hydroids Tubularia spp. and Obelia geniculata were subjected to tanks containing a predator, then their nematocyst distribution was examined. Although most of the changes over the experimental period were attributable to diet, F. verrucosa responded to both T. adspersus and C. papposus by significantly increasing microbasic mastigophore incorporation. No differential uptake was seen with C. maenas. Response was evident in the nudibranchs both for predators present in the collection area and for those with which they had no previous exposure, indicating that F. verrucosa modulates nematocyst incorporation in response to the presence of predators as well as to diet. A coevolution of nudibranchs and potential predators may govern changes in nematocyst uptake.

AN - 71435000; 14644667 AB - Brevetoxins are produced by the red tide dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. The toxins are lipophilic polyether toxins that elicit a myriad of effects depending on the route of exposure and the target organism. Brevetoxins are therefore broadly toxic to marine and estuarine animals. By mimicking the maternal route of exposure to the oocytes in finfish, we characterized the adverse effects of the type B brevetoxin brevetoxin-3 (PbTx-3) on embryonic fish development and survival. The Japanese rice fish, medaka (Oryzias latipes), was used as the experimental model in which individual eggs were exposed via microinjection to various known concentrations of PbTx-3 dissolved in an oil vehicle. Embryos injected with doses exceeding 1.0 ng/egg displayed tachycardia, hyperkinetic twitches in the form of sustained convulsions, spinal curvature, clumping of the erythrocytes, and decreased hatching success. Furthermore, fish dosed with toxin were often unable to hatch in the classic tail-first fashion and emerged head first, which resulted in partial hatches and death. We determined that the LD(50) (dose that is lethal to 50% of the fish) for an injected dose of PbTx-3 is 4.0 ng/egg. The results of this study complement previous studies of the developmental toxicity of the type A brevetoxin brevetoxin-1 (PbTx-1), by illustrating in vivo the differing affinities of the two congeners for cardiac sodium channels. Consequently, we observed differing cardiovascular responses in the embryos, wherein embryos exposed to PbTx-3 exhibited persistent tachycardia, whereas embryos exposed to PbTx-1 displayed bradycardia, the onset of which was delayed.

The main source of global climate change is human-induced changes in atmospheric composition. These perturbations primarily result from emissions associated with energy use, but on local and regional scales, urbanization and land use changes are also important. Although there has been progress in monitoring and understanding climate change, there remain many scientific, technical, and institutional impediments to precisely planning for, adapting to, and mitigating the effects of climate change. There is still considerable uncertainty about the rates of change that can be expected, but it is clear that these changes will be increasingly manifested in important and tangible ways, such as changes in extremes of temperature and precipitation, decreases in seasonal and perennial snow and ice extent, and sea level rise. Anthropogenic climate change is now likely to continue for many centuries. We are venturing into the unknown with climate, and its associated impacts could be quite disruptive.

Previously, it was assumed that impacts to populations derive almost exclusively from acute mortality. However, in the Alaskan coastal ecosystem, unexpected persistence of toxic subsurface oil and chronic exposures, even at sublethal levels, have continued to affect wildlife. Delayed population reductions and cascades of indirect effects postponed recovery. Development of ecosystem-based toxicology is required to understand and ultimately predict chronic, delayed, and indirect long-term risks and impacts.

A coupled three-dimensional general circulation, biogeochemical, and radiative model of the global oceans was validated using these in situ data sources and satellite data sets. Biogeochemical processes in the model were determined from the influences of circulation and turbulence dynamics, irradiance availability, and the interactions among four phytoplankton functional groups (diatoms, chlorophytes, cyanobacteria, and coccolithophores) and four nutrients (nitrate, ammonium, silica, and dissolved iron). Annual mean log-transformed dissolved iron concentrations in the model were statistically positively correlated on basin scale with observations (P<0.05) over the eight (out of 12) major oceanographic basins where data were available. The model tended to overestimate in situ observations, except in the Antarctic where a large underestimate occurred. Inadequate scavenging and excessive remineralization and/or regeneration were possible reasons for the overestimation. Basin scale model chlorophyll seasonal distributions were positively correlated with SeaWiFS chlorophyll in each of the 12 oceanographic basins (P<0.05). The global mean difference was 3.9% (model higher than SeaWiFS).The four phytoplankton groups were initialized as homogeneous and equal distributions throughout the model domain. After 26 years of simulation, they arrived at reasonable distributions throughout the global oceans: diatoms predominated high latitudes, coastal, and equatorial upwelling areas, cyanobacteria predominated the mid-ocean gyres, and chlorophytes and coccolithophores represented transitional assemblages. Seasonal patterns exhibited a range of relative responses: from a seasonal succession in the North Atlantic with coccolithophores replacing diatoms as the dominant group in mid-summer, to successional patterns with cyanobacteria replacing diatoms in mid-summer in the central North Pacific. Diatoms were associated with regions where nutrient availability was high. Cyanobacteria predominated in quiescent regions with low nutrients. While the overall patterns of phytoplankton functional group distributions exhibited broad qualitative agreement with in situ data, quantitative comparisons were mixed. Three of the four phytoplankton groups exhibited statistically significant correspondence across basins. Diatoms did not. Some basins exhibited excellent correspondence, while most showed moderate agreement, with two functional groups in agreement with data and the other two in disagreement. The results are encouraging for a first attempt at simulating functional groups in a global coupled three-dimensional model but many issues remain. Abstract Copyright (2003) Elsevier, B.V.

Natural or fan-induced pressure differences across air leakage paths in house-garage (HG) interfaces can result in the transport of the contaminants generated in garages into adjacent living spaces. This paper summarizes a literature review on the transport of pollutants from garages to residential living spaces and describes a field study to estimate the range of airtightness of attached garages and of HG interfaces in the United States. Although the body of literature on pollutant transport from attached garages to residential buildings is limited, the studies reviewed provide substantial evidence that transport of contaminants from garages has the potential to negatively impact residential IAQ in either an acute (e.g., carbon monoxide from automobiles) or chronic manner (e.g., storage of chemical products). However, the literature contains more questions than answers on issues such as the airtightness and geometry of the HG interface, the impact of heating and cooling equipment in the garage, and the effectiveness of potential engineering solutions. In order to address one gap in understanding these issues, the airtightness of garages and HG interfaces was measured in five residences using fan pressurization. While the small sample of houses limits generalization of the results, a range of house ages, styles, and sizes was included. For all homes tested, the garage was found to be at least twice as leaky as the house, based on air change per hour at 50 Pa. The leakiness of the garage envelope, based on surface area normalized effective leakage area at 4 Pa (ELA4/SA), ranges from a high of nearly eleven times to a low of two and a half timed that of the house exterior envelope leakage. On average, the HG interface was almost two and a half times as leaky as the rest of the house envelope, when based on ELA4/SA. However, this average is somewhat skewed due to one HG interface measured in this study that is almost eleven times as leaky as the rest of the house envelope. Conversely, a larger Canadian study found HG interfaces to be comparable to house envelopes but found the average garage to be about ten times leakier than the houses -- possibly because Canadian houses are consistently tighter than U.S. houses (Fugler et al. 2002). The knowledge gained from this review and the field study will be used in a simulation study of the potential occupant exposure to pollutants from attached garages and to explore potential engineering solutions to this IAQ problem.

Bioavailability is assumed to coincide with the rapidly and, possibly, slowly desorbing sediment-associated contaminant. River sediment was spiked with radiolabeled ( super(14)C) and nonradiolabeled ( super(12)C) 3,4,3',4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (TCBP), and desorption kinetics using Tenax extraction were obtained at 10 degree C and 22 degree C. Bioaccumulation was measured in Lumbriculus variegatus, Chironomus tentans, and Hyalella azteca. Desorption of TCBP was triphasic at 22 degree C and slowed at 10 degree C to show only biphasic kinetics. The rapidly desorbing fractions decreased with increasing TCBP sediment concentration. The biota sediment accumulation factors, biota accumulation factors, and sediment clearance coefficients (k sub(s)) also decreased with increasing sediment TCBP concentration. The rapidly plus slowly desorbing fractions and the total TCBP desorbed when 99.9% of the rapidly desorbing fraction had desorbed were used to estimate bioavailable TCBP. These Tenax-based fractions did not explain the decreasing bioavailability with increasing TCBP load. Several factors, such as animal behavior and TCBP water solubility limitations, were evaluated to explain the concentration effect, but the most likely cause was severe diffusion limitations in whole sediment that were not predicted by the fully mixed Tenax extraction. Therefore, desorbing fractions determined by Tenax extraction overestimated the bioavailable fractions in sediments.

This paper provides three classes of recommendations to improve MST technology: optimization, development and evaluation. Optimization recommendations focus on library-dependent methods and include improved selection of restriction enzymes or antibiotics, better definition of appropriate library size, selection of target species and choice of statistical pattern-matching algorithms. Methods development recommendations focus on identifying new genomic targets and quantification procedures for library-independent methods. Longer-term methods development recommendations include integration of microarrays and other direct pathogen detection technology with MST. Studies defining host specificity and population dynamics should aid selection of target species during methods development. Evaluation recommendations include enhancements that should be incorporated into future methods comparison studies, along with studies to assess the value of MST results for risk characterization.

The focus of this paper is to show that complementary remote sensing information can be provided by optical measurements of a vegetation index, which is readily measured with high temporal coverage using reflectance data. We examine the similarities between the vegetation index and in situ measurements of the chemicals isoprene, methacrolein, and alpha-pinene to estimate whether the temporal behavior of the in situ measurements of these chemicals could be better understood by the addition of the vegetation index. Data were compared for flights conducted around Houston in August and September 2000. The three independent sets of chemical measurements examined correspond reasonably well with the vegetation index curves for the majority of flight days. While low values of the vegetation index always correspond to low values of the in situ chemical measurements, high values of the index correspond to both high and low values of the chemical measurements. In this sense it represents an upper limit when compared with in situ data (assuming the calibration constant is adequately chosen). This result suggests that while the vegetation index cannot represent a purely predictive quantity for the in situ measurements, it represents a complementary measurement that can be useful in understanding comparisons of various in situ observations, particularly when these observations occur with relatively low temporal frequency. In situ isoprene measurements and the vegetation index were also compared to an isoprene emission inventory to provide additional insight on broad issues relating to the use of vegetation indices in emission database development.

To evaluate the impacts of proposed habitat alterations on species of conservation concern, standardized protocols may be adopted even when supporting data are scarce. For example, a habitat matrix was developed by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to guide consultations under the Endangered Species Act for actions that may affect the functioning of the freshwater habitat used by several federally listed salmonid species. The habitat matrix has also been advocated as a tool for recovery planning by agencies apart from the NMFS, who could use it to define the habitat conditions assumed to be necessary for salmonid population viability and hence recovery. This use of the habitat matrix in a recovery context has not been evaluated, and, despite its widespread use as a regulatory tool, the empirical relationships between many of the habitat matrix variables and salmonid populations remain unexplored. By amassing data on habitat assessments and trends in fish abundance, we empirically evaluate the relationship between habitat matrix scores and salmonid population metrics. We found that abundance trends for populations of three species of threatened and endangered salmonids (chinook, coho, and steelhead) were unrelated to these habitat matrix assessments. This study reveals the danger of assuming quantitative relationships between habitat and organism and cautions against co-opting protocols from the regulatory realm for recovery planning for endangered species.

Turtles were captured live with entanglement nets and mortality was quantified through stranding surveys and flipper tag recoveries. A total of 14,820 netting hours (617.5d) resulted in 255 captures of 200 green turtles. Straight-carapace length and mass ranged from 46.0-100.0cm (mean=74.3 plus or minus 0.7cm) and 14.5-145.0kg (mean=61.5 plus or minus 1.7kg), respectively. The size-frequency distribution remained stable during all years and among all capture locations. Anthropogenic-derived injuries ranging from missing flippers to boat propeller scars were present in 4% of captured turtles. Remains of 18 turtles were found at dumpsites, nine stranded turtles were encountered in the study area, and flipper tags from seven turtles were recovered. Survival was estimated at 0.58 for juveniles and 0.97 for adults using a joint live-recapture and dead-recovery model (Burnham model). Low survival among juveniles, declining annual catch per unit effort, and the presence of butchered carcasses indicated human activities continue to impact green turtles at this foraging area.

High spectral resolution has optimal potential for multispectral algorithms because of the capability to resolve, and thus avoid, gas absorption lines that otherwise obscure the surface signal in conventional narrowband radiometers. A hyperspectral radiative transfer model (RTM) is developed for varying satellite zenith angles, atmospheric profiles (cloud and aerosol free), surface wind speeds and skin temperatures, with atmospheric column transmittance spectra computed from fast models. Wind speed variations in surface emissivity and quasi-specular reflection are both rigorously accounted for. The RTM is then used for deriving retrieval algorithms based upon statistical and physical methodologies. The statistical method is based upon linear regression analyses of brightness temperatures, whereas the physical method is based upon solution of a linear perturbation form of the IR radiative transfer equation valid for window channels. The physical method is unique in its simplicity: It does not solve for atmospheric profiles, but rather relies upon local linearities about guess transmittances for extrapolating the skin temperature. Both algorithms are tested against independent forward calculations and then used to retrieve water surface skin temperatures from the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) Airborne Sounder Testbed-Interferometer (NAST-I) flown on board the NASA ER-2. The results demonstrate the capability of hyperspectral radiative transfer for providing an optimal correction for atmospheric gas absorption (viz., water vapor) from the new suite of environmental satellite IR spectrometers.

While Pescadero Creek (rural) experienced its flood of record, the adjacent San Lorenzo Creek (heavily populated), attained only its fourth-highest flow. This difference resulted from conditions present while the warm sector of the storm, with its associated low-level jet, high moisture content, and weak static stability, was overhead. Rainfall in the warm sector was dominated by orographic forcing. While the wind speed strongly modulated rain rates on windward slopes, the wind direction positioned the edge of a rain shadow cast by the Santa Lucia Mountains partially over the San Lorenzo basin, thus protecting the city of Santa Cruz from a more severe flood. Roughly 26% plus or minus 9% of the streamflow at flood peak on Pescadero Creek resulted from the warm-sector rainfall. Without this rainfall, the peak flow on Pescadero Creek would likely not have attained record status. These results are complemented by a climatological analysis based on similar to 50-yr-duration streamflow records for these and two other nearby windward watersheds situated similar to 20 to 40 km farther to the east, and a comparison of this climatological analysis with composites of NCEP-NCAR reanalysis fields. The westernmost watersheds were found to have their greatest floods during El Nino winters, while the easternmost watersheds peaked during non-El Nino episodes. These results are consistent with the case study, that showed that the composite 925-mb, meridionally oriented wind direction during El Ninos favors a rain shadow over the eastern watersheds. During non-El Nino periods, the composite, zonally oriented wind direction indicates that the sheltering effect of the rain shadow on the eastern watersheds is reduced, while weaker winds, less water vapor, and stronger stratification reduce the peak runoff in the western watersheds relative to El Nino periods. These case study and climatological results illustrate the importance of conditions in the moisture-rich warm sector of landfalling Pacific winter storms. Although many other variables can influence flooding, this study shows that variations of plus or minus 10 degree in wind direction can modulate the location of orographically enhanced floods. While terrain can increase predictability (e.g., rainfall typically increases with altitude), the predictability is reduced when conditions are near a threshold separating different regimes (e.g., in or out of a rain shadow).

Riparian buffers (uncut strips of vegetation) are widely used to mitigate the impact of clear-cut logging on aquatic ecosystems but there have been few experimental assessments of their effectiveness. Forests along 13 headwater stream reaches in south-western British Columbia, Canada, were clear-cut in 1998, creating three riparian buffer treatments (30-m buffer, 10-m buffer and clear-cut to the stream edge), or left as uncut controls, each treatment having three or four replicates. We predicted that periphyton biomass and insect consumers would increase as buffer width decreased, because of increased solar flux. We used two complementary studies to test this prediction. In one study, we compared benthic communities before and after logging in all 13 streams; a second study focused on periphyton and insect colonization dynamics over 6-week periods in each of four seasons in four streams, one in each treatment. Photosynthetically active radiation, and mean and maximum water temperature, increased as buffer width narrowed. Periphyton biomass, periphyton inorganic mass and Chironomidae abundance also increased as buffer width narrowed, with the largest differences occurring in the clear-cut and 10-m buffer treatments. Photosynthetically active radiation, water temperature, periphyton biomass and periphyton inorganic mass were significantly greater in the 30-m buffer treatment than in controls during some seasons. We have shown that a gradient of riparian buffer widths created a gradient in light and temperature that led to non-linear increases in periphyton biomass and insect abundance. For example, Chironomidae abundance was generally greater in the 10-m and 30-m buffer treatments than in controls, whereas this was not always the case in the clear-cut treatment. This pattern may be due to the high sediment content of the periphyton mat in the clear-cut treatment, which potentially limited the response of some insects to increased food resources. Overall, our results indicate that uncut riparian buffers of 30-m or more on both sides of the stream were needed to limit biotic and abiotic changes associated with clear-cut logging in headwater, forested watersheds.

An algorithm is described that determines objectively wet season onset and withdrawal for individual years, and this tool is used to examine the behavior of various characteristics of the major monsoon systems. The definition of onset and withdrawal are determined by examining the ramp-up and diminution of rainfall within the context of the climatological rainfall at each location. Also examined are interannual variations in onset and withdrawal and their relationship to rainy season precipitation accumulations. Changes in the distribution of 'heavy' and 'light' precipitation events are examined for years in which 'abundant' and 'poor' wet seasons are observed, and associations with variations in large-scale atmospheric general circulation features are also examined. In particular, some regions of the world have strong associations between wet season rainfall and global-scale patterns of 200-hPa streamfunction anomalies.

However, rapid shifts in age structure can occur even while population size remains relatively static. We used time-varying matrix models to study age-structure information as a tool for improving detection of survivorship and fecundity change and status. We applied the methods to Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus), a long-lived endangered marine mammal found throughout the North Pacific Rim. Population and newborn counts were supplemented with information on the fraction of the population that was juvenile, obtained by measuring animals in aerial photographs taken during range-wide censuses. By fitting the model to 1976-1998 data, we obtained maximum-likelihood estimates and 95% confidence intervals for juvenile survivorship, adult survivorship, and adult fecundity in the mid-1980s, late 1980s, and 1990s. We used a series of nested models to test whether the data were best fit by a model with one, two, or three temporal changes in demographic rates, and we fit the models to different lengths of data to test the number of years of data needed to detect a demographic change. The declines in the early 1980s were associated with severely low juvenile survivorship, whereas declines in the 1990s were associated with disproportionately low fecundity. We repeated these analyses, fitting only to the count data without the juvenile-fraction information, to determine whether the age-structure information changed the conclusions and/or changed the certainty and speed with which demographic-rate changes could be detected. The juvenile-fraction data substantially improved the degree to which estimates from the model were consistent with field data and significantly improved the speed and certainty with which changes in demographic rates were detected.Original Abstract: Una respuesta diferida al cambio a menudo es una caracteristica de especies longevas y presenta un reto mayor para el seguimiento de su condicion. Sin embargo, pueden ocurrir cambios rapidos en la estructura de edades aun cuando la poblacion permanece relativamente estatica. Utilizamos modelos matriciales con variacion de tiempo para estudiar informacion sobre la estructura de edades como una herramienta para mejorar la deteccion de cambio y condicion de supervivencia y fecundidad. Aplicamos los metodos a los lobo marinos de Steller (Eumetopias jubatus), un mamifero longevo en peligro de extincion que se encuentra en las costas del Pacifico Norte. Los conteos de poblacion y de recien nacidos fueron suplementados con informacion sobre la fraccion de la poblacion que era juvenil, obtenida de medir animales en fotografias aereas tomadas durante censos en toda el area de distribucion. Ajustando el modelo para datos de 1976-1998, obtuvimos estimaciones de la maxima probabilidad de supervivencia de juveniles, supervivencia de adultos y fecundidad de adultos con intervalos de confianza de 95% para mediados de los anos 80, fines de los anos 80 y 90. Utilizamos una serie de modelos anidados para probar si los datos se ajustaban mejor a un modelo con uno, dos o tres cambios temporales en las tasas demograficas, y ajustamos los modelos a diferentes longitudes de datos para probar el numero de anos de datos requeridos para detectar un cambio demografico. Las declinaciones a principios de los anos 80 se asociaron con una supervivencia de juveniles marcadamente baja, mientras que las declinaciones de los anos 90 se asociaron con una fecundidad desproporcionadamente baja. Repetimos estos analisis, ajustando solo para datos de conteo sin informacion sobre la fraccion de juveniles, para determinar si la informacion de la estructura de edades cambiaba las conclusiones y/o cambiaba la velocidad y la certeza con las que se podian detectar los cambios en las tasas demograficas. Los datos de la fraccion de juveniles mejoro sustancialmente el grado en que las estimaciones del modelo fueron consistentes con los datos de campo y mejoraron significativamente la velocidad y certeza con las que se detectaron cambios en las tasas demograficas.

Analyte concentration values in the range of nmol/mol (ppb) to mu mol/mol (ppm) were also determined. Calculating the ratios of the response onset and recovery time constants of the different sensor materials at different temperatures, when operated in the fixed temperature sensing mode, clearly identified each CW agent. Training artificial neural network (ANN) models from an 80-component response database (four sensing films at 20 operating temperature steps), obtained in the temperature-programmed sensing operating mode, led to successful individual analyte recognition and four separate agent concentration models to provide the concentrations of the target compounds. Recursive elimination of the less relevant inputs and ANN model re-training identified the 5 to 12 inputs that are sufficient to identify and quantify the CW agents. The information obtained through pruning allows one to reduce the microsensor scan time by 40% to 80% and provides insight into the nature of the most critical gas-solid interactions for detection.

This model, which will be made available to the community, is built on the framework of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Model of Atmospheric Transport and Chemistry (MATCH) and can easily be driven with various meteorological inputs and model resolutions. In this work, we describe the standard configuration of the model, in which the model is driven by meteorological inputs every 3 hours from the middle atmosphere version of the NCAR Community Climate Model (MACCM3) and uses a 20-min time step and a horizontal resolution of 2.8 degree latitude x 2.8 degree longitude with 34 vertical levels extending up to approximately 40 km. The model includes a detailed chemistry scheme for tropospheric ozone, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbon chemistry, with 63 chemical species. Tracer advection is performed using a flux-form semi-Lagrangian scheme with a pressure fixer. Subgrid-scale convective and boundary layer parameterizations are included in the model. Surface emissions include sources from fossil fuel combustion, biofuel and biomass burning, biogenic and soil emissions, and oceanic emissions. Parameterizations of dry and wet deposition are included. Stratospheric concentrations of several long-lived species (including ozone) are constrained by relaxation toward climatological values. The distribution of tropospheric ozone is well simulated in the model, including seasonality and horizontal and vertical gradients. However, the model tends to overestimate ozone near the tropopause at high northern latitudes. Concentrations of nitrogen oxides (NO sub(x)) and nitric acid (HNO sub(3)) agree well with observed values, but peroxyacetylnitrate (PAN) is overestimated by the model in the upper troposphere at several locations. Carbon monoxide (CO) is simulated well at most locations, but the seasonal cycle is underestimated at some sites in the Northern Hemisphere. We find that in situ photochemical production and loss dominate the tropospheric ozone budget, over input from the stratosphere and dry deposition. Approximately 75% of the tropospheric production and loss of ozone occurs within the tropics, with large net production in the tropical upper troposphere. Tropospheric production and loss of ozone are three to four times greater in the northern extratropics than the southern extratropics. The global sources of CO consist of photochemical production (55%) and direct emissions (45%). The tropics dominate the chemistry of CO, accounting for about 75% of the tropospheric production and loss. The global budgets of tropospheric ozone and CO are generally consistent with the range found in recent studies. The lifetime of methane (9.5 years) and methylchloroform (5.7 years) versus oxidation by tropospheric hydroxyl radical (OH), two useful measures of the global abundance of OH, agree well with recent estimates. Concentrations of nonmethane hydrocarbons and oxygenated intermediates (carbonyls and peroxides) generally agree well with observations. JF - Journal of Geophysical Research. D.

Recent developments of new habitat-mapping techniques make this advice more achievable, but the success of such an approach depends largely on our ability to define habitat types in a way that is ecologically relevant. We devised and tested the ecological relevance of a set of habitat-type definitions through our participation in a stakeholder-driven process to design a network of MPAs, focusing on no-take marine reserves in the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve, San Andres Archipelago, Colombia. A priori definitions of habitat types were ecologically relevant, in that our habitat-type definitions corresponded to identifiable and unique characteristics in the ecological communities found there. The identification of ecological pathways and connectivity among habitats also helped in designing ecologically relevant reserve boundaries. Our findings contributed to the overall design process, along with our summary of other general principles of marine reserve design. Extensive stakeholder input provided information concerning the resources and their patterns of use. These inputs also contributed to the reserve design process. We anticipate success for the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve at achieving conservation and social goals because its zoning process includes detailed yet flexible scientific advice and the participation of stakeholders at every step.Original Abstract: Los ecologos han puesto mayor atencion en el diseno de areas marinas protegidas (AMP), y sus sugerencias de diseno recomiendan consistentemente la representacion de todos los tipos de habitat en los AMP o en las redes de AMP como una forma de proporcionar proteccion a todas las partes del sistema oceanico natural. Desarrollos recientes de tecnicas de mapeo de habitat nuevas hacen que estas recomendaciones sean mas realizables, pero el exito de esta metodologia depende, en buena medida, de nuestra capacidad de definir tipos de habitat de manera ecologicamente relevante. Participando en un proceso conducido por grupos de interes para disenar una red de AMPs, concentrada en reservas marinas sin extraccion en la Reserva de la Biosfera Seaflower, Archipelago San Andres, Colombia, disenamos y probamos la relevancia ecologica de un conjunto de definiciones de tipos de habitat. Las definiciones a priori de tipos de habitat fueron ecologicamente relevantes porque nuestras definiciones de tipos de habitat correspondieron a caracteristicas unicas e identificables de las comunidades ecologicas encontradas ahi. La identificacion de trayectorias ecologicas y la conectividad entre habitats tambien ayudaron al diseno de limites de reserva ecologicamente relevantes. Nuestros hallazgos contribuyeron al proceso de diseno en su conjunto, junto con nuestra recopilacion de otros principios generales para el diseno de reservas marinas. La participacion de los grupos de interes proporciono informacion concerniente a los recursos y sus patrones de uso. Esta participacion tambien contribuyo al proceso de diseno de la reserva. Anticipamos el exito para la Reserva de la Biosfera Seaflower en el cumplimiento de sus metas sociales y de conservacion porque en su proceso de zonificacion se incluyen recomendaciones cientificas detalladas pero flexibles y la participacion de grupos de interes en cada etapa.

Procedures to estimate emission rates using transient analysis of VOC concentrations are described and applied in a two- story classroom/office building. The analysis employs semi-real-time VOC concentrations determined with a portable GC/FID and simultaneous air change rate measurements using tracer gas decay. The results of the analysis yield consistent values of emission rates for building materials ranging from 0.20 to 0.40 mg m super(-2) h super(-1) when normalized by floor area. Occupancy-related emissions were more difficult to estimate and covered a wider range from roughly 0.1 to 1.5 mg m super(-2) h super(-1). The test data were also analyzed in an attempt to determine sink parameters, but these efforts were not particularly successful. Furthermore, in these tests, the inclusion of sink effects did not significantly impact the estimated emission rates. While this paper offers a transient analysis approach that may lead to improved field estimates of VOC emission rates, it is not presented as a definitive methodology. Nevertheless, transient analysis has potential for use in other buildings, but simultaneous air change rate measurements are critical in its application in estimating VOC emission rates in the field.

In an attempt to provide such data, we measured the deposition of particles ranging from 0.3 to 10 mu m in an occupied townhouse and also in an unoccupied test house. Experiments were run with three different sources (cooking with a gas stove, citronella candle, pouring kitty litter), with the central heating and air conditioning (HAC) fan on or off, and with two different types of in-duct filters (electrostatic precipitator and ordinary furnace filter). Particle size, HAC fan operation, and the electrostatic precipitator had significant effects on particle loss rates. The standard furnace filter had no effect. Surprisingly, the type of source (combustion vs. mechanical generation) and the type of furnishings (fully furnished including carpet vs. largely unfurnished including mostly bare floor) also had no measurable effect on the deposition rates of particles of comparable size. With the HAC fan off, average deposition rates varied from 0.3 h super(-1) for the smallest particle range (0.3-0.5 mu m) to 5.2 h super(-1) for particles greater than 10 mu m. Operation of the central HAC fan approximately doubled these rates for particles <5 mu m, and increased rates by 2 h super(-1) for the larger particles. An in-duct electrostatic precipitator increased the loss rates compared to the fan-off condition by factors of 5-10 for particles <2.5 mu m, and by a factor of 3 for 2.5-5.0 mu m particles. In practical terms, use of the central fan alone could reduce indoor particle concentrations by 25-50%, and use of an in-duct ESP could reduce particle concentrations by 55-85% compared to fan-off conditions.

To evaluate the potential impact of larval behavior on this process, we quantified the undisturbed swimming speeds and nocturnal swimming activity of 5 reef fish species throughout their larval phase. We used video techniques to obtain undisturbed observations of swimming behavior in captive bred larvae. The results conclusively demonstrate that larvae maintain relatively high swimming speeds throughout development. Speeds were consistent among 3 anemone-fish species (Amphiprioninae; Amphiprion melanopus, A. percula and Premnas biaculeatus), which swam an average of 3.9 and a maximum of 8.4 body lengths (bl)/s. However, differences may exist among taxa in the undisturbed swimming speeds of larvae. Highest speeds were recorded in the damselfish Pomacentrus amboinensis (Pomacentridae) and the slowest speeds in the cardinal-fish Sphaeramia nematoptera (Apogonidae). The results support short-duration experimental and in situ evidence of high sustained swimming speeds. However, it is striking that larvae routinely swim at such speeds without external stimuli. The proportion of time larvae spent swimming at night increased rapidly towards the end of the larval phase in all 5 species examined. In addition, the undisturbed swimming speeds of larvae were significantly greater at night than during the day. Patterns of nocturnal activity appear to relate to the active nocturnal settlement behavior of larvae. The pattern of swimming, and speeds achieved, suggest that an active behavioral mechanism for self-recruitment is well within the capabilities of the reef fish larvae examined.

The distribution and abundance of the age groups or cohorts within the egg and larval populations were estimated during each survey. The displacement of the cohorts between surveys was largely consistent with advection by the climatological circulation pattern. Egg mortality rates, calculated from the decrease in seasonal total abundance of early and later stage eggs, were 14 and 12%/d for cod and 12 and 11%/d for haddock in 1995 and 1996, respectively. Larval mortality rates, calculated from the decrease in the abundance of larval cohorts between surveys, ranged from 3 to 9%/d for cod and 7 to 14%/d for haddock, with no evident difference in the rate between the 2 yr. Variability in the larval mortality rate estimates did not exhibit a temporal pattern, suggesting that mortality was chronic and not dominated by events that caused particularly high or low mortality.

AN - 36429559; 10513 AB - PURPOSE: The issuance of a 25-year multiple-species permit for the incidental take of nine federally protected, candidate, and proposed salmonid sand terrestrial species at the expanded Daybreak Mine in Clark County, Washington is proposed. The 300-acre project site is located in a relatively flat alluvial valley on the north bank of the East Fork River, between River Mile 7.2 and River Mile 9.0. The applicants, Storedahl and Sons, Inc. and Storedahl Properties LLP, would expand mining and reclamation activities and the processing of sand and aggregate at the site. Permit approval would require the implementation of a habitat conservation plan (HCP) at the mine site and within adjacent properties owned by the applicants. Five alternatives, are considered in this final EIS. The preferred alternative would allow for continued mining and issuance of the incidental take permit and implementation of the HCP, followed by transfer to the Daybreak site to a private, non-profit land conservation organization. Mining would take place under a comprehensive program that would encompass 18 conservation measures, including an endowment to facilitate site management and preservation of the preserved area in perpetuity. The habitat created would be comprised of a mosaic of open water, emergent wetlands, and valley bottom forest created from gravel mining and the natural features of the project site. Upon completion of the project, a conservation easement prohibiting future uses that would conflict with fish and wildlife habitat values would be obtained for the property, together with the fee simple title conveyed to the private conservation organization. The latter provisions would ultimately make the property available for inclusion in Clark County's ongoing lower East Fork River greenbelt. The 18 conservation measures would address four issues, namely, water quality, water quantity, channel avulsion, and species and habitat conservation. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Mining and processing of sand and aggregate would provide materials for use by the construction industry throughout the region. The HCP would increase the extent of forested upland, emergent wetlands, and open water ponds. Some restoration and enhancement measures would occur within the 100-year floodplain. Fish and water quality enhancements would exceed those required by local planning requirements. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Topography and soil composition at the site would be altered significantly. Traffic at four intersections along transportation routes in the vicinity of the site would continue to be affected by congestion due to the number of trucks necessary to haul sand and gravel from the site. Mining activities and rural and agricultural developments would be visible from adjacent at-grade properties. Recreational opportunities could be curtailed by private owners of the site subsequent to the conclusion of the project. Noise levels from mining and processing activities would increase somewhat.

AN - 71358533; 14576277 AB - Using a global model of continental water balance, forced by interannual variations in precipitation and near-surface atmospheric temperature for the period 1981-1998, we estimate the sea-level changes associated with climate-driven changes in storage of water as snowpack, soil water, and ground water; storage in ice sheets and large lakes is not considered. The 1981-1998 trend is estimated to be 0.12 mm/yr, and substantial interannual fluctuations are inferred; for 1993-1998, the trend is 0.25 mm/yr. At the decadal time scale, the terrestrial contribution to eustatic (i.e., induced by mass exchange) sea-level rise is significantly smaller than the estimated steric (i.e., induced by density changes) trend for the same period, but is not negligibly small. In the model the sea-level rise is driven mainly by a downtrend in continental precipitation during the study period, which we believe was generated by natural variability in the climate system.

AN - 36427147; 10495 AB - PURPOSE: A regulatory amendment to the fishery management plan (FMP) for Atlantic tunas, swordfish, and sharks is proposed to address issues related to coastal shark stocks. The target species are highly migratory species (HMS) inhabiting the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea. The intent of the proposed actions is to prevent overfishing and rebuild overfished stocks, update essential fish habitat (EFH) identifications for some species of sharks, and revise the permit system for collecting sharks for public display. In 2002, the National Marine Fisheries Services conducted two new stock assessments for large and small coastal sharks. Based on these new stock assessments, it was decided that many of the shark management measures in the FMP for the three species should be re-examined. Additionally, due to the change of status in some species, some EFH identifications need to be updated. Management measures considered in this amendment include, inter alia, commercial quotas, commercial minimum sized, recreational bag limits, recreational minimum catch sizes, gear restrictions to reduce bycatch or bycatch mortality, seasonal and area closures, alteration of deepwater/other sharks and the prohibited species management units, and updates of EFH identifications. Additionally, the regulatory authority would consider a different system for issuing permits for display purposes. Alternatives are considered with respect o each of the regulatory areas. POSITIVE IMPACTS: By implementing area closures, reducing bycatch catch, and enforcing other limitations on fishery access the regulatory amendments would improve the sustainability of shark species within the fishery. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Certain fishery management provisions, particularly gear restrictions and area closures, could result in economic losses to fishing interests and impede recreational access to the shark fishery.

We demonstrate, with returning 1- and 2-sea winter Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, that transverse otolith thin sections to the core expose increments that represent seasonal growth during the marine phase. These increments are similar to those that form on scales, albeit with greater increment-width variability. From cage-reared fish, we noted that the number of increments on otoliths and scales formed during the period of marine residence is the same, and that the average mean deposition-time is slightly over 1 wk in the first year and ca. 2 wk in the second year.

The data were used to define a quantitative relationship between RNA/DNA ratio (R/D), water temperature (T), and protein-specific growth rate (SGR, %/d). The nucleic acid content of each larva was determined with both a 2-dye flow-injection fluorometric assay (FIA) and a 1-dye/1-enzyme fluorometric microplate assay (MFA) in order to calibrate each methodology. The resulting equations were: SGR = 3.65 R/D + 1.02 T - 13.05 for FIA, and SGR = 4.03 R/D + 0.88 T - 11.16 for MFA. Measured growth rates ranged from negative (-8%/d) to 20%/d. Water temperature and larval R/D explained 37 to 39% of the variability in the observed growth rate. The models are applicable over temperatures ranging from 2.5 to 9.5 degree C and can be used to determine short-term growth rates of cod larvae collected from both the laboratory and field.

AN - 71318343; 14582970 AB - Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2387 peanut butter was recently issued, and the process used for value assignment of nutrient and aflatoxin concentrations is reported herein. Values were assigned using data provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and collaborating laboratories. SRM 2387 is intended for use as a primary material for assigning values to in-house control materials and for validation of analytical methods for measurements in peanut butter and similar high-fat matrixes. SRM 2387 lies in sector 3 of AOAC International's fat-protein-carbohydrate triangle. With the addition of SRM 2387, NIST now offers materials within-or on the borders between-all sectors of the triangle. The Certificate of Analysis for SRM 2387 provides assigned values for concentrations of fatty acids, proximates, elements, and total dietary fiber, for which product labeling is required by the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990, as well as several vitamins, amino acids, and aflatoxins, for which labeling is not required. (Aflatoxin levels in peanut butter are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration.)

AN - 73597772; 12901981 AB - The aims of the study were to synthesize derivatives of Bis-GMA having pendant n-alkyl urethane substituents and to characterize and evaluate their physicochemical properties. Stoichiometric amounts of Bis-GMA and n-alkyl isocyanates were reacted in dichloromethane with dibutyltin dilaurate as a catalyst. Volumetric shrinkage, water uptake, degree of vinyl conversion, refractive index and viscosity of resulting urethane monomers and those of Bis-GMA were measured. The flexural strengths of their corresponding homopolymers and that of Bis-GMA were also measured. These types of urethane derivatives of Bis-GMA exhibited lower viscosities and were more hydrophobic than Bis-GMA. Generally, the viscosity of these experimental monomers decreased with increasing chain length of the alkyl urethane substituent. Photopolymerization of the new monomers gave high degrees of vinyl conversion compared to Bis-GMA. The experimental monomers also yielded polymers with lower polymerization shrinkages at equivalent degrees of vinyl conversion, than Bis-GMA. The refractive indices of these urethane derivatives were similar to Bis-GMA, but the flexural strengths of their polymers were lower than that of the Bis-GMA homopolymer, decreasing with increasing chain length of the alkyl urethane substituent. Because of their excellent overall properties, these new derivatives of Bis-GMA have potential as dental monomers that can improve many properties of resin based dental materials that utilize methacrylate monomer systems.

These houseboats were damaged by water waves likely initiated during the seismic surface waves, which produced the largest ground motions from this earthquake. Because Lake Union is situated on the Seattle sedimentary basin, the water waves may have been initiated in part from local amplification of the seismic waves by the basin. To better understand the causes of these water waves and estimate the hazard from them in future earthquakes, we examined ground shaking on the strong motion recorders from the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN). Maps of peak ground acceleration recorded during the Alaska earthquake on the PNSN strong-motion instruments show substantially increased surface wave amplitudes coincident with the Seattle sedimentary basin. We computed spectral ratios with respect to nearby bedrock sites at periods of 1 sec to 100 sec. Amplifications of surface waves by the basin were greater than a factor of 4 at periods from 2.5 to 10 sec, with peak amplifications of about 10 at periods of 3 to 5 sec. Shear wave arrivals showed similar amplification values, but their absolute amplitudes were much smaller than the surface wave amplitudes. Modeling of water waves indicates a single surface wave arrival would produce water waves with a peak amplitude of several cm in Lake Union. Resonance initiated by multiple cycles of surface waves, focusing, and near-shore effects could further amplify the water waves, creating potentially damaging waves.

While the processes of extension and crustal accretion at many back-arc spreading centers can be similar to those at mid-ocean ridges (MORs), back-arc segments proximal to active arcs may be significantly influenced by the subducting slab. Such is the case at the Valu Fa Ridge, the southern-most section of the Eastern Lau back arc Spreading Center, where high magmatic inflation and lavas with arc-like compositions are manifest along the several ridge segments that most closely neighbor the adjacent S. Tonga (Tofua) active arc front. Fluids derived and discharged from compositionally-evolved arc volcanics are by definition the most "arc-like". To the extent the high concentrations of magmatic volatiles and dissolved ionic species characteristic of these fluids are causal to ore formation (as has been suggested), contemporary magmatic-hydrothermal fluids issuing from arc-corrupted back-arcs, such as the Valu Fa Ridge, may similarly present opportunities for seafloor mineralization. Here we present the results of a comprehensive and systematic plume reconnaissance along the southern Valu Fa Ridge during TELVE (Tonga-Eastern Lau Vents Expedition, March-April 2003), one of the first surveys of this style along any back arc spreading system. The four overlapping ridge segments that comprise the southern 126 km of the Valu Fa Ridge were surveyed using tow-yo and vertical cast procedures common on MORs. In addition to confirming that two known sites (Hine Hina and Vai Lili) remain actively venting, we newly observed plumes above four other areas along the ridgecrest, each more chemically intense than above the historical sites. We compare the plume chemical results to those now emerging for submarine arcs (e.g., de Ronde et al., this session) and to data for MORs to identify an "arc-like" chemical signature for hydrothermal plumes, one that we hope eventually will link to "arc-like" mineralization on the seafloor.

About 93% of the arcs ( approximately 20,000 km) occur in the Pacific region. The number of volcanoes known to occur along these arcs is 693, with at least 206 (29%) being submarine. Arcs that have been surveyed in detail for their hydrothermal plumes between 1999 and 2003 include; the Kermadec (840 km), Tofua (425), Solomons (125), Tabar-Lihir-Tanga-Feni (225) and Mariana arcs (1290), or approximately 13% of all arcs (37% of the 6,900 km of intraoceanic arcs). If we include the less systematic surveys done over volcanoes of the Izu-Bonin arc (1,200 km), then approximately 19% of all arcs have been surveyed, or over half (54%) of the intraoceanic arcs. The number of volcanoes that have been surveyed along intraoceanic arcs is 137, or one every 27 km of arc length, the same as for all arcs combined. Actively venting volcanoes along intraoceanic arcs total 43 (31%), or one vent site every 87 km of arc length. Extrapolation of this frequency of venting to the remaining sections of unsurveyed intraoceanic arcs means 36 vent sites have yet to be discovered. Thus submarine hydrothermal venting associated with intraoceanic arcs is significant on a global scale. Most volcanoes along intraoceanic arcs are simple cones, although caldera volcanoes are well represented. Depths to vent sites range from approximately 130 m to 1,1650 m thus hydrothermal emissions are being injected into the mid- to shallow-parts of the oceans. The vast majority of vents occur at, or very near, the summits of the cones with subordinate flank vent sites up to 200 m deeper. Vent sites within caldera volcanoes are mainly located adjacent to the caldera walls. Venting along the Kermadec arc is characterized by hydrothermal plumes that are chemically heterogeneous when compared to MOR sites, i.e., they range from being highly enriched in dissolved ionic species (e.g., Fe) and (super 3) He, CO (sub 2) and sulfur gases, to (super 3) He-rich but with very low concentrations of ionic species. Evidence for a magmatic component in arc vent systems is given by the nature and concentrations of various gases, and Fe. The venting of hydrothermal systems at relatively shallow depths and with high gas contents will assist phase separation and should promote the formation of massive sulfide (Cu-Zn+ or -Pb+ or -Au) deposits.

Erosion regimes and sediment retention mechanisms vary by ecoregion, leading to regional patterns in types of erosion impacts to salmon habitat (e.g., channel aggradation vs. incision). Recovery of salmon habitats depends in part on recovery of erosion regimes and sediment retention mechanisms, and recovery time varies by ecoregion. In loess deposits and erosive volcanic rocks of the western desert ecoregion, fine sediments dominated historical sediment supplies, and sedge meadows retained those fine sediments (silt and clay) on valley floors. Over the past 3000 years valley floors aggraded from 1 to 22 m, creating large shallow aquifers that provided consistent streamflows and stable temperatures for salmon. Since the late 1800s, grazing and agriculture have caused channel incision through valley fills, which drained shallow aquifers, reduced stream flows, and increased stream temperatures. In the wet coastal forest ecoregion, mass wasting dominated erosion processes historically, and logging practices over the past 150 years have increased supply of both coarse and fine sediments. Channel responses vary, with channels typically aggrading in basins dominated by competent rocks, but degrading in soft sedimentary rocks where wood debris removal has reduced retention of relatively fine-grained sediments (sand and fine gravel). Recovery of habitats in aggraded channels of the coastal forests can be relatively short, as time to export aggraded sediment is generally on the order of 10 (super 1) years. Recovery time for incised channels in coastal forests is on the order of 10 (super 2) years, because wood debris that once retained finer sediments (sand and small gravel) will take many decades to grow and recruit to channels. In western deserts, sedge meadows can recover in a few years, but time to aggrade incised channels to their historical elevations can be on the order of 10 (super 2) to 10 (super 3) years.

These vessels take on water to maintain their stability during transit, incidentally pumping sediment into their holding tanks. Entrained in this sediment are a wide array of aquatic organisms (foraminifera, amphipods, bivalves, gastropods, diatoms, ostracods, sponges spicules, echinoid spines, fish), plant debris (seeds, fibers), and man-made or natural objects (metal chips, paint balls, glass, tar balls) which may be discharged into distant ports when the vessels release their ballast. In this study, we investigated the presence of foraminifera in ballast sediment samples from three locations in the U.S. Most of the vessels arriving in Prince William Sound, Alaska are tankers which originate in west coast U.S. ports (Long Beach, San Francisco, Puget Sound), although a few are from overseas (Korea, China, Japan). Thirty ballast tanks from 12 vessels were sampled, 20 of which contained foraminifera. Twelve benthic and 3 planktonic species were recovered, including the invasive Japanese species Trochammina hadai, which was present in 11 samples. Most of these species were also present in ballast sediment obtained from a vessel in San Francisco Bay. Transoceanic vessels arriving in the Great Lakes commonly originate in European ports and are required to pump out their ballast before entering U.S. or Canadian ports. Although these No-Ballast-On-Board (NOBOB) vessels are supposed to be devoid of ballast, left behind is the mud that accumulates next to the steel framing in the tanks and residual amounts of water that cannot be removed due to the geometry of the pumping systems. We sampled 19 of these vessels over a two year period. All of the 13 sediment samples collected in 2001 contain foraminifera, including 32 benthic and 6 planktonic species. Foraminifera were also present in 14 of 19 sediment samples collected in 2002, represented by 22 benthic and 7 planktonic taxa. Maximum foraminiferal abundance was >65,000 specimens/g dry sediment, 21% of which were alive at the time of collection. Clearly, both ballasted and NOBOB vessels are potential vectors for nonindigenous foraminiferal introductions.

These landforms attest to periods of pronounced aridity during the Holocene that exceeded drought conditions in the 20th century. Our field research has focused on deciphering the activity of parabolic and barchanoid-ridge paleodunes in Dundy and Cherry counties, western Nebraska in the past 2000 years. The internal stratigraphy of dunes is well exposed in sections adjacent to lakes, with many of the lakes formed with dune damming of drainages. These sections reveal intercalated weak soils (A/C or A/Bw) within eolian sand sequences that indicate repeated dune reactivation during the late Holocene. Quartz grains from these eolian sediments are directly dated using recent advances in optically stimulated luminescence, single aliquot regeneration (OSL-SAR) protocols providing decadal to century precision for the past 2 ka. Stratigraphic analyses combined with OSL-SAR ages identify eolian sand depositional events separated by paleosols at 60 + or - 20, 150 + or - 20, 460 + or - 30, and 1310 + or - 100 cal. yr BP which are coincident with the limited 14C age control and with droughts inferred from the tree-ring or paleolimnologic record. One of the thickest (>4 m) eolian sand deposits in western Nebraska, exhibiting clear cross-stratification indicative of dune movement is dated by OSL-SAR to the late 16th century which is coincident with a well recognized and widespread North American "megadrought" in the tree-ring record. SAR-OSL ages also place deposition of a cover sand in the mid-19th century associated with a persistent drought identified in dendroclimatic records from the Rocky Mountains and western Great Plains. There is also compelling geomorphic and stratigraphic evidence for accumulation of a local cover sand during the 1930's drought and is confirmed by aerial photography from 1939 that shows abundant blows, incipient parabolic dunes and dried lakes and wetlands.

The suite of light stable isotope reference materials are administered under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and are distributed internationally by the IAEA and in North America by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NIST/IAEA Intercomparison Exercise, organized in 2000 and completed in 2003, provides a general model for future intercomparisons, regardless of the isotopic or chemical species of interest. We report here details of this intercomparison exercise and communicate the NIST recommended value assignments and uncertainties for the suite of carbon and oxygen stable isotope reference materials. Additionally, we introduce a new suite of organic and inorganic materials specifically targeted for, but not limited to, continuous flow applications. Preliminary isotopic values of d15N, d18O,and d17O (Bohlke, J. K. et al., 2003) and d34S, Soufre de Lacq, RM 8553 (Qi, Haiping, et al., 2003 ) have been recently published. Value assignments for two additional materials, glutamic acid and caffeine are currently in progress.

As such it exerts a tremendous influence on the Earth's circulation patterns and changes therein. The well-known El Nino phenomenon appears to be a consequence of inefficient poleward energy transfer from the tropical oceans during non-El Nino years. The threat of impending climate change has focused scientist's attention on the dynamics of the tropical Pacific Ocean and atmosphere and the "teleconnections" to the mid-latitudes. Given the importance of the tropical Pacific, climate observations from the region are of utmost important to physical dynamics of the Pacific ocean-atmosphere. Unfortunately, due mostly political and economic reasons, the existing network of island-based climate observations has deteriorated in quantity and quality to a point where data are insufficient to conduct even the most basic trend analysis. The independent island nations have insufficient resources to repair, let alone enhance, their local climate networks. Thus, it is in the best interests are of all countries to assist local Pacific nations in training of personnel, maintenance and enhancement of their local climate observation networks. The mutual benefit of such an endeavor has been realized by the international community. As such, the U.S. in partnership with Australia, New Zealand, and the nations of the South Pacific Regional Environment Program have taken the lead in working towards establishing a robust and sustainable Pacific Islands Global Climate Observing System (PI-GCOS) that meets the climate change and variability observations, and application needs of the PI nations and meets the associated regional and international requirements for climate observing. Finally, on July 31, 2003, there will be an Earth Observation Summit held in Washington, DC, in order to "Promote the development of an integrated Earth observation system among governments and the international community and to better understand and address global environmental and economic challenges.

About 30% of the almost 700 volcanoes known to exist along volcanic arcs are submarine. About 2,550 km of intraoceanic arc has been surveyed in detail for submarine hydrothermal venting with another 1,200 km to a lesser degree. About 30% of the 137 volcanoes surveyed were found to be hydrothermally active, expelling hydrothermal liquids and gases into the ocean at water depths between 50 and 1650 m. The vent sites are usually located near the summit of volcanic cones although some occur in deeper depths, near the floor of caldera volcanoes. We define "shallow" as being less than approximately 500 m water depth, or where a fluid of seawater composition will boil at temperatures less than approximately 260 degrees C. Addition of significant amounts of dissolved gases like CO (sub 2) and H (sub 2) S means boiling will occur at greater depths than those for a pure seawater solution, for any given temperature. Of the 43 actively venting sites known along intraoceanic arcs, 19 (44%) are shallow. If we project this over the remaining approximately 3,150 km of unsurveyed intraoceanic arc, and use a frequency of venting of one vent site every 87 km of arc length, then a further 16 shallow vent sites have yet to be discovered. Nine of the 12 known active vent sites associated with the submarine portions of island arcs are also shallow. Combined, 50% (n = 28) of all known active submarine vent sites associated with volcanic arcs occur in water depths of <500 m. A number of shallow vent sites occur along the Kermadec arc, offshore New Zealand, and include; Rumble V, Rumble III, Vulkanolog, Macauley cone, Giggenbach, Ngatoroirangi and Monowai. Depths to the vent sites range from 440 m at Rumble V to 130 m at Vulkanolog. Hydrothermal plumes associated with these volcanoes can be highly enriched in dissolved ionic species such as Fe, and (super 3) He, CO (sub 2) and sulfur gases. Evidence for a magmatic component in these arc vent systems is given by the nature and concentrations of various gases and Fe, and from samples recovered from these sites that commonly contain the mineral assemblage; quartz, opal-A, opal-C, native sulfur, pyrite, marcasite and natroalunite. These sites are ideal candidates for Au-rich mineralization similar to that seen in subaerial epithermal environments.

Macrophage phagocytosis of wear particles induces human biological/physiological responses which eventually lead to bone resorption and osteolysis. However, the dependence of these reactions on the size and shape of the particles has not been elucidated and is not understood. This article describes a procedure to generate narrowly distributed UHMWPE particles of controlled size and shape through surface texturing by microfabrication. The textured surface is then used to rub against the polymer pins to produce wear particles in water. The surface texture produces elongated particles or equiaxed particles by design. The distribution of the particles, due to the surface-texture control, is quite narrow as compared with randomly produced surfaces. With this technique, we are able to generate UHMWPE wear particles of different size and shape within phagocytosable and nonphagocytosable populations for biological response studies.

This and several other similar CPCs harden in 10 min with the use of a phosphate solution as the liquid and form hydroxyapatite (HA) as the product. The present study investigated the properties of water-free, glycerol-containing CPC pastes that are stable in the package and would harden only after being delivered to a defect site where glycerol-tissue fluids exchange occurs. Premixed CPC pastes were prepared by combining cement liquids containing glycerol and various amounts of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose/Na2HPO4, with CPC powders that contained (1) Ca4(PO4)2O and CaHPO4, (2) -Ca3(PO4)2 and CaCO3, or (3) CaHPO4 and Ca(OH)2. The hardening times and 1-d and 7-d diametral tensile strengths were measured on samples that hardened in an in vitro model that allowed exchange of glycerol and physiologic-like solution (PLS) through fritted glass slides at 37 DGC. All pastes had excellent washout resistance; they remained intact and hardened while immersed in PLS and formed HA as products. Newman-Keuls multiple comparison tests indicated that the Na2HPO4 amount, not the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HMC) amount, significantly (p < 0.05) affected the strength and hardening time. Although the premixed CPCs generally have longer hardening times and lower strengths, these pastes have excellent washout resistance before hardening and can be prepared in advance under well-controlled conditions.

These areas serve as seal pup nurseries, and injury and death caused by entanglement in marine debris are undermining population recovery efforts. We investigated the extent of this threat by measuring the accumulation of potentially entangling derelict fishing gear in nursery zones, 1999-2001. Plots of reef 1.0-1.3 km super(2) at three Northwestern Hawaiian Islands were initially cleaned of derelict fishing gear in 1999 then resurveyed in 2000 and 2001. Submerged debris densities across sites ranged from 16 to 165 debris items/km super(2). Resurveyed sites yielded annual marine debris accumulation rates from 0 to 141 debris items/km super(2). This large range was attributed to the physiography of reef areas surveyed. Trawl net webbing was significantly more common than other types of debris recovered and represented 84% of all debris encountered, suggesting that much of the debris originated from distant North Pacific Ocean fisheries. The likely source of most debris is the multinational trawl fisheries of the North Pacific Ocean. An international solution to this problem is needed. Targeted marine debris removal is a short-term, successful, entanglement mitigation strategy.

Long-term monitoring of wet-only precipitation (NADP/NTN, 1983-2001) and dry deposition (AIRMoN, 1990-2001) at sites adjacent to the watershed showed that concentrations of SO sub(4) super(2-) in precipitation, SO sub(4) super(2-) in particles,and SO sub(2) vapor all declined substantially (P<0.005) in contrast to no marked temporal changes observed for most N constituents (NH sub(4) super(+) in precipitation, HNO sub(3) vapor, and particulate NO sub(3) super(-)), except for NO sub(3) super(-) in precipitation, which showed a small decrease in the late 1990s. From 1983 to 2001, concentrations of SO sub(4) super(2-) in the lake outlet significantly decreased (-2.1 mu eq L super(-1) yr super(-1), P<0.0001), whereas NO sub(3) super(-) and dissolved organic N (DON) concentrations showed no consistent temporal trends. With the inclusion of dry deposition and DON fluxes into the mass balance, the retained portion of atmospheric N inputs within the main subcatchment increased from 37% to 60%. Sulfur outputs greatly exceeded inputs even with the inclusion of dry S deposition, while organic S flux represented another source of S output, implying substantial internal S sources. A significant relationship between the annual mean concentrations of SO sub(4) super(2-) in lake discharge and wet deposition over the last two decades (r=0.64, P<0.01) suggested a considerable influence of declining S deposition on surface water SO sub(4) super(2-) concentrations, despite substantial internal S sources. By contrast, interannual variations in both NO sub(3) super(-) concentrations and fluxes in lake discharge were significantly related to year-to-year changes in air temperature and runoff. Snowmelt responses to winter temperature fluctuations were crucial in explaining large portions of interannual variations in watershed NO sub(3) super(-) export during the months preceding spring snowmelt (especially, January-March). Distinctive response patterns of monthly mean concentrations of NO sub(3) super(-) and DON in the major lake inlet to seasonal changes in air temperature also suggested climatic regulation of seasonal patterns in watershed release of both N forms. The sensitive response of N drainage losses to climatic variability might explain the synchronous patterns of decadal variations in watershed NO sub(3) super(-) export across the northeastern USA.

Social control may allow a phenotypically plastic response to social situations that convey cues about the relative advantages of functioning as one sex or the other, and should be advantageous in highly heterogeneous habitats such as coral reefs. Parrotfishes (family Scaridae) are dominant members of herbivorous coral reef fish assemblages, and numerous histological examinations of gonads have demonstrated the hermaphroditic life history of many species in the family. However, social control of sex change has never been conclusively demonstrated in the parrotfishes. To test a new version of the size-advantage model for sex change, we conducted removal experiments of dominant male bucktooth parrotfish, Sparisoma radians, in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. A total of seven females from five different reefs changed sex following removals, clearly demonstrating social control of sex change. In addition, all but one of those individuals changing sex were smaller than the largest females remaining in the harems, and this contrasts with nearly all previous studies of sex change in fishes. Sex change proceeds via a novel sequence of events when compared with previous studies. Rather than behavioral sex change preceding morphological sex change, the appearance of male coloration is followed by the development of male behavior that is fully expressed approximately 20 days after removal. We show how differing arrival rates of bachelor males at our study sites may facilitate alternative contexts of sex change, with sex change occurring within social groups in some locations and with bachelor males filling harem vacancies in other locations. Alternative contexts of sex change further illustrate the astonishing phenotypic plasticity in the social and mating behavior of parrotfishes.

Its performance under dry conditions is evaluated in simultaneous measurements using the NOAA /CMDL frost-point hygrometer at Boulder, Colorado; San Cristobal, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador; Watukosek, Indonesia; and Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii. theta he Snow White exhibits a lower detection limit of about 3%-6% relative humidity, depending on the sensor configuration. This detection limit is determined by the temperature depression attainable by the thermoelectric cooler. In some cases, loss of frost-point control within layers with relative humidity below this detection limit caused inaccurate measurements above these dry layers, where the relative humidity was within the detection range of the instrument. theta he sensor does not operate in the stratosphere because of the large frost-point depression and the large potential for outgassing of water from the instrument box and the sensor housing. The instrument has some capabilities in the tropical tropopause region; however, the results are somewhat mixed.

It includes quantitative and semi-quantitative components, and uses field data, models and expert knowledge to provide Pressure-State- Response (PSR) indicators. A substantial part of the concepts underlying the approach were developed as the United States National Estuarine Eutrophication Assessment (NEEA), which was applied to 138 estuaries in the continental United States. The core methodology relies on three diagnostic tools: a heuristic index of pressure (Overall Human Influence), a symptoms-based evaluation of state (Overall Eutrophic Conditions), and an indicator of management response (Definition of Future Outlook). Recently, the methodology has been extended and refined in its application to European estuaries, and a more quantitative approach to some of the metrics has been implemented. In particular, the assessment of pressure is carried out by means of simple modeling techniques, comparing anthropogenic nutrient loading with natural background concentrations, and the quantitative criteria for classification of system state based on different symptoms have been refined to improve comparability. The present approach has been intercalibrated with the original NEEA work, for five widely different U.S. estuaries (Long Island Sound, Neuse River, Savannah River, Florida Bay and West Mississippi Sound) with good results. ASSETS additionally aims to contribute to the EU Water Framework Directive classification system, as regards a subset of water quality and ecological parameters in transitional and coastal waters.

The impaction process was recorded using a high- speed digital camera at 1000 frames per second. The initial droplet diameter was fixed at 3.1+/-0.1 mm and all experiments were performed at room temperature (20 degree C). The impact Weber (We) number of the water droplets was fixed at 200. As the water droplet impacted the hot peanut oil pool, it fragmented, and ultimately produced a vapor explosion. Experiments were also performed applying methoxy-nonafluorobutane C sub(4)F sub(9)OCH sub(3) (HFE-7100) to hot peanut oil with similar impact We number. Dramatic differences were observed when HFE-7100 droplets were used. At peanut oil temperatures above similar to 180 degree C, HFE- 7100 droplets did not result in a vapor explosion.

In contrast, little information exists on the effects of LWD placement on nonsalmonid fishes and amphibians. In this study, I examined the responses of giant salamanders Dicamptodon spp., juvenile lampreys Entosphenus tridentatus and Lampetra spp., reticulate sculpins Cottus perplexus, and torrent sculpins C. rhotheus to artificially placed LWD by sampling 29 small streams with paired treatment and reference reaches. Densities and mean lengths of giant salamanders, reticulate sculpins, torrent sculpins, and lampreyss did not differ significantly between treatment and references reaches. I also examined whether the observed responses were correlated with differences in physical habitat between reference and treatment reaches. Lampreys densities (log sub(10)[treatment] - log sub(10)[reference]) and length of age-1 and older reticulate sculpins (log sub(10)[treatment] - log sub(10)[reference]) among streams were positively correlated with LWD within the wetted channel. Lampreys length was also positively correlated with differences in percentages of pool area. These results indicate that artificial LWD placement may benefit lampreys and age-1 and older reticulate sculpins (two species known to prefer pools) but have little effect on other nonsalmonid species.

Located at the juncture of major ocean currents, the Tortugas potentially serves as a source and sink for marine larvae. The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary initiated a process in 1998 to create a fully protected ecological reserve in the Tortugas to conserve these resources. Reserve design emphasized community input and consensus-based decision-making. Critical to success was a diverse working group of stakeholders and government agencies. In July 2001, after receiving extensive public comment and the necessary agency approvals for designation, the Sanctuary implemented a 518 km super(2) Tortugas Ecological Reserve. This fully protected marine reserve is expected to preserve biodiversity, maintain ecosystem integrity, and act as a reference site to discriminate between natural and anthropogenic changes to the ecosystem. The Tortugas Ecological Reserve complements the Sanctuary's existing network of 23 fully protected zones, instituted in 1997 to protect marine resources from overuse, conserve biodiversity, and separate uses. The Tortugas Ecological Reserve is the largest fully protected marine reserve in the United States.Original Abstract: La region de Tortugas, localizada en los cayos de Florida a 225 km de las costas de Estados Unidos, es un area de alta densidad coralina, excelente calidad de agua y pesquerias productivas. Dada su ubicacion en la union de varias corrientes oceanicas importantes, Tortugas sirve potencialmente como sitio de fuente y retencion para larvas marinas. Para conservar los recursos marinos unicos de esta region, el Santuario Marino Nacional de los cayos de Florida inicio en 1998 un proceso para crear una reserva ecologica completamente protegida. El diseno de la reserva enfatizo la participacion comunitaria y una toma de decisiones basada en consensos. De importancia critica para el exito estuvo un grupo de trabajo de agencias comunitarias y gubernamentales. En julio 2001, despues de comentarios publicos extensos y las aprobaciones necesarias para la designacion, el Santuario implemento la Reserva Ecologica Tortugas de 518 km super(2). Se espera que esta reserva marina completamente protegida puede conservar la biodiversidad, mantener la integridad del ecosistema y actuar como un sitio de referencia para discriminar entre los cambios naturales y antropogenicos en el ecosistema. La Reserva Ecologica de Tortugas complementa la red de 23 zonas completamente protegidas del Santuario instituido en 1997 para proteger los recursos marinos del sobre uso, conservar la biodiversidad y separar usos.

People are skeptical about the benefits of no-take marine reserves because they have adjusted to scarcity and have low expectations about the productive capability of marine ecosystems. Pauly (1995) described this as a shifting baseline in which each generation sets its expectations based on its direct experiences and discounts experiences of previous generations. I show evidence of a declining Caribbean baseline based on Nassau grouper landings from Cuba and the U.S, and review common and often conflicting types of conservation ethics existing in North America. No-take marine reserves can help reestablish human expectations about resource productivity by restoring past conditions in places. Leopold's biotic ethic provides a framework for achieving sustainable resource use based on laws of ecology and human self-interest. Because changing expectations usually requires direct local experience, education, and changes in conservation ethics, implementing successful marine reserve networks will probably be a slow, incremental process. Establishing no-take reserves can help restore human expectations and provide a common basis for conservation by providing a window to the past and a vision for the future.Original Abstract: Las diferencias en las expectativas humanas y las eticas ambientales son factores dominantes que previenen la creacion de redes de reservas marinas. La poblaciones son escepticas acerca de las ventajas y beneficios de las reservas marinas totalmente protegidas debido a que ellos se han ajustado a la escasez y tienen expectativas bajas acerca de la capacidad productiva de los ecosistemas marinos. Pauly (1995) describio esto como un cambio en la base, en la cual cada generacion fija sus expectativas de acuerdo a sus experiencias directas y descuenta las experiencias de las generaciones anteriores. Aqui yo demuestro la evidencia de un cambio en la data en que se basa el Caribe basada en las descargas del mero de Nassau en Cuba y en los E.E.U.U., al mismo tiempo reviso los conflictos mas comunes y los que ocurren mas a menudo en el campo etico de la conservacion existentes en Norteamerica. Reservas marinas que no permiten ningun tipo de captura pueden ayudar a restablecer las expectativas humanas sobre productividad de los recursos debido a que ayudan a restaurar las condiciones previas existentes en estos lugares. Las eticas bioticas de Leopold proporcionan un marco para alcanzar el uso sostenible del recurso basado en leyes deecologia y en el interes humano. Debido a que para poder cambiar las expectativas generalmente se requiere tener experiencia local directa, conocer acerca de la educacion, y hacer cambios en la etica de la conservacion, el establecimiento exitoso de redes de reservas marinas sera probablemente un proceso lento y incrementos. El establecimiento de reservas marinas que no permiten ningun tipo de captura puede ayudar a restaurar expectativas humanas y a proporcionar una base comun para la conservacion proporcionando una ventana al pasado y una vision al futuro.

Ocean Observing System Development Panel, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, 1995, 54pp; Global Biogeochem. Cycles 13 (1999) 179) is used to compare inorganic carbon data from the GEOSECS CO sub(2) survey in the Pacific Ocean in 1973 to the WOCE/JGOFS global CO sub(2) survey in the 1990s. A model of total dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) as a function of five variables (AOU, [straight theta, small theta], S, Si, and PO sub(4)) has been developed from the recent CO sub(2) survey data (namely CGC91 and CGC96) in the Pacific Ocean. After correcting for a systematic DIC offset of-30.3+/-7 mu mol kg super(-1) from the GEOSECS data, the residual DIC based on this model as computed from GEOSECS data has been used to estimate the anthropogenic CO sub(2) penetration in the Pacific Ocean. In the Northeast Pacific, we obtained an increase of CO sub(2) of 21.3+/-7.9 mol m super(-2) over the period from GEOSECS in 1973 to CGC91 in 1991. This gives a mean anthropogenic CO sub(2) uptake rate of 1.3+/-0.5 mol m super(-2) yr super(-1) over this 17 year time period. In the South Pacific, north of 50 degree S between 180 degree and 120 degree W region, the integrated anthropogenic CO sub(2) inventory is estimated to be 19.7+/-5.7 mol m super(-2) over the period from GEOSECS in 1974 to CGC96 in 1996. The equivalent mean CO sub(2) uptake rate is estimated to be 0.9+/-0.3 mol m super(-2) yr super(-1) over the 22 years. These results are compared with the isopycnal method (Nature 396 (1998) 560) to estimate the anthropogenic CO sub(2) signal in the Northeast Pacific (30 degree N, 152 degree W) at the crossover region between CGC91 and GEOSECS. The results of the isopycnal method are consistent with those derived from the MLR method. Both methods show an increase in anthropogenic CO sub(2) inventory in the ocean over two decades that is consistent with the increase expected if the ocean uptake has kept pace with the atmospheric CO sub(2) increase.

The Modified Silage Process (MSP) uses less acid and lower temperature than common fish silage processes and recovers over 90% of the fish solids and oil in a stable dry meal. Feeds made from different fish and processing wastes using the MSP performed as well as a commercial feed. Feed conversion ratios (FCR) for MSP feeds were 0.86 with juvenile salmon. An economic evaluation of the MSP using the Net Present Value model illustrates where the MSP may contribute to the processing of fishery byproducts in Alaska or other remote and seasonal situations.

AN - 71390938; 14637249 AB - Reactive oxygen-derived species such as free radicals are formed in living cells by normal metabolism and exogenous sources, and cause a variety of types of DNA damage such as base and sugar damage, strand breaks and DNA-protein cross-links. Living organisms possess repair systems that repair DNA damage. Oxidative DNA damage caused by free radicals and other oxidizing agents is mainly repaired by base-excision repair (BER), which involves DNA glycosylases in the first step of the repair process. These enzymes remove modified bases from DNA by hydrolyzing the glycosidic bond between the modified base and the sugar moiety, generating an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site. Some also possess AP lyase activity that subsequently cleaves DNA at AP sites. Many DNA glycosylases have been discovered and isolated, and their reaction mechanisms and substrate specificities have been elucidated. Most of the known products of oxidative damage to DNA are substrates of DNA glycosylases with broad or narrow substrate specificities. Some possess cross-activity and remove both pyrimidine- and purine-derived lesions. Overlapping activities between enzymes also exist. Studies of substrate specificities have been performed using either oligodeoxynucleotides with a single modified base embedded at a specific position or damaged DNA substrates containing a multiplicity of pyrimidine- and purine-derived lesions. This paper reviews the substrate specificities and excision kinetics of DNA glycosylases that have been investigated with the use of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and DNA substrates with multiple lesions.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE DOLPHIN AND WAHOO FISHERY OF THE ATLANTIC. AN - 36353779; 10474-030495_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a fishery management plan for the dolphin and wahoo fishery of the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico within the US Exclusive Economic Zone is proposed. Problems and issues identified during scoping include those related to localized reductions in fish abundance due to high fishing pressure, disruption of markets, conflict and/or competition between recreational and commercial user groups in the dolphin fishery, reduced social and economic benefits from the fishery, high levels of bycatch, disruption of predator/prey relationships affecting dolphin and other pelagic species, and limited biological, habitat, economic, and social information with respect to exploitation of dolphin and wahoo stocks and fisheries. The overall goal of the plan is to adopt a precautionary and risk-averse approach to management which, in the first instance, would attempt to maintain the status quo. This would require that current catch levels not be exceeded and that recent conflicts between sectors of the fishery (commercial vs. recreational fishing interests) be resolved. The status quo would reflect trends associated with average catch and effort levels in the fishery during the five-year period extending from 1993 through 1997. Owing to the significant importance of the dolphin/wahoo fishery to the recreational fishing community in the Atlantic, the goal of the plan would be to maintain the current harvest level of dolphin and insure that no new fisheries develop. The overall goal of the plan for the Caribbean would be to provide a comprehensive management structure to address management needs for dolphin and wahoo and to take a precautionary and risk-averse approach in implementing a management structure and regulations to maintain management at optimum yield. The overall goal of the plan for the Gulf of Mexico would be similar to that for the Caribbean. Specific measures to be undertaken in the various areas would include permit systems, prohibition of sale of recreationally caught fish, total landings limitations, bycatch limits, recreational bag limits, commercial trip limits, size limits, establishment of fishing seasons, gear restrictions, alterations in essential fish habitat provisions, establishment of optimum yields and maximum sustainable yields, and research provisions. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to reducing overexploitation of the dolphin and wahoo fisheries and reducing bycatch in the affected areas, the plan would provide for high-quality research data to determine the exact condition of the fisheries and to direct future management efforts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Certain management provisions could result in a small increase in operating costs for dealers, vessel owners, and operators in the fisheries. Data collection requirements would increase time costs somewhat. Revenues from the recreational fisheries would decline somewhat. Bag limits would reduce opportunities for recreational fishing in the affected areas. Gear restrictions would reduce revenue in the commercial fisheries.

AN - 36351218; 10476-030497_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for the Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary is proposed. The sanctuary, which is located 17.5 nautical miles off Sapelo Island, Georgia, encompasses 16.68 square miles of open ocean and hard bottom. Although it is estimated that 75 percent of the hard bottom is covered by sand, rock outcroppings scattered throughout the sanctuary form a complex habitat of caves, burrows, troughs, and overhangs located some 60 to 70 feet below the sea surface. The proposed plan, which would replace the 1983 general management plan, would provide six action plans addressing activities designed to regulate anchoring, diving, marine debris, and fishing as well as administration, research, exploration, evaluation, and education and outreach needs. Under the proposal, new regulations relevant to the sanctuary would include: prohibition of anchoring within the sanctuary, except in emergencies; revision of the sanctuary regulations to allow fishing only with rod-and-reel and handline gear; and a gear stowage requirement to facilitate enforcement. Existing regulations would also be revised to address placing or abandoning structures on submerged lands, using explosives or devices generating electrical currents underwater, and removing, injuring, or possessing historical resources located within the sanctuary boundaries. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Gear restrictions and the anchoring prohibition would help protect the nationally significant bottom formations and associated living marine resources that the Gray's Reef Sanctuary was designated to protect. Scientific understanding of the unique and fragile ecosystem would increase significantly, and public awareness and wise use of the reef would be enhanced. None of the new regulations would have a significant socioeconomic impact on users of the sanctuary. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: NONE.

Specific measures to be undertaken in the various areas would include permit systems, prohibition of sale of recreationally caught fish, total landings limitations, bycatch limits, recreational bag limits, commercial trip limits, size limits, establishment of fishing seasons, gear restrictions, alterations in essential fish habitat provisions, establishment of optimum yields and maximum sustainable yields, and research provisions. POSITIVE IMPACTS: In addition to reducing overexploitation of the dolphin and wahoo fisheries and reducing bycatch in the affected areas, the plan would provide for high-quality research data to determine the exact condition of the fisheries and to direct future management efforts. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Certain management provisions could result in a small increase in operating costs for dealers, vessel owners, and operators in the fisheries. Data collection requirements would increase time costs somewhat. Revenues from the recreational fisheries would decline somewhat. Bag limits would reduce opportunities for recreational fishing in the affected areas. Gear restrictions would reduce revenue in the commercial fisheries.

AN - 16366478; 10476 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a general management plan for the Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary is proposed. The sanctuary, which is located 17.5 nautical miles off Sapelo Island, Georgia, encompasses 16.68 square miles of open ocean and hard bottom. Although it is estimated that 75 percent of the hard bottom is covered by sand, rock outcroppings scattered throughout the sanctuary form a complex habitat of caves, burrows, troughs, and overhangs located some 60 to 70 feet below the sea surface. The proposed plan, which would replace the 1983 general management plan, would provide six action plans addressing activities designed to regulate anchoring, diving, marine debris, and fishing as well as administration, research, exploration, evaluation, and education and outreach needs. Under the proposal, new regulations relevant to the sanctuary would include: prohibition of anchoring within the sanctuary, except in emergencies; revision of the sanctuary regulations to allow fishing only with rod-and-reel and handline gear; and a gear stowage requirement to facilitate enforcement. Existing regulations would also be revised to address placing or abandoning structures on submerged lands, using explosives or devices generating electrical currents underwater, and removing, injuring, or possessing historical resources located within the sanctuary boundaries. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Gear restrictions and the anchoring prohibition would help protect the nationally significant bottom formations and associated living marine resources that the Gray's Reef Sanctuary was designated to protect. Scientific understanding of the unique and fragile ecosystem would increase significantly, and public awareness and wise use of the reef would be enhanced. None of the new regulations would have a significant socioeconomic impact on users of the sanctuary. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: NONE.

[Part 2 of 3] T2 - ACCEPTABLE BIOLOGICAL CATCH AND OPTIMUM YIELD SPECIFICATIONS AND MANAGEMENT MEASURES FOR THE 2004 PACIFIC COAST GROUNDFISH FISHERY. AN - 36383102; 10463-030484_0002 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). 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. 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. 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 charter boat operators would generally increase, it would decrease in northern California in some areas.

AN - 19216092; 5781495 AB - Variation in resource selection among sub-populations may elucidate differences in fitness and life history strategies. Specifically for top marine predators, differences in movements and behavior may result from responses to variation in a patchy, dynamic environment. Satellite-linked time-depth recorders (SLTDRs) were used to examine differences in narwhal Monodon monoceros diving behavior and habitat selection among 3 sub-populations in Canada and West Greenland (n = 16 individuals). The number of dives to different depths and time allocation within the water column was investigated in 3 seasons, with a focus on 2 discrete wintering grounds in Baffin Bay. Diving parameters were calculated from binned dive data and analyzed using repeated-measures mixed models accounting for temporal autocorrelation and individual variability. The number of surface dives (0 to 50 m) and time at the surface declined between summer and winter. Clear differences were observed between 2 wintering grounds. Whales occupying one wintering ground spent most of their time diving to between 200 and 400 m (25 dives per day, SE 3), confirmed by both depth and temperature recording tags. In contrast, narwhals in a separate wintering ground spent less time at shallow depths and most of their time diving to at least 800 m (13 to 26 dives per day, SE 1 to 3). A model of occupancy time at depth showed that whales making multiple daily deep dives spent over 3 h at >800 m (SD 0.6) and traveled 13 min (SD 1) per round trip to reach this depth. Whales diving to between 200 and 400 m spent approximately 2.5 h (SD 0.4) at this depth, traveling 5 min per round trip. The observed differences in time allocation and dive behavior indicate local variation between the 2 wintering grounds in the Baffin Bay ecosystem.

In habitats where rips and jets develop, energy flow to piscivorous predators is hypothesized to be strongly associated with tidal phase due to interactions between currents, plankton, and schooling planktivorous fishes (the 'tidal coupling hypothesis'). This study tests 1 component of the tidal coupling hypothesis that the feeding activity of piscivorous predators and the availability of planktivorous fishes are both strongly associated with the same tidal phase. During 1994 to 1997, I made visual counts of actively feeding, mixed-species seabird flocks and hydroacoustic measurements of the relative abundance and distribution of schooling fishes. Median feeding activity, median backscatter/m transect, and median prey encounter probabilities were greatest during the tidal periods Slow flood 1 and Fast flood. Positive feeding anomalies and positive prey-encounter anomalies were significantly associated with tidal flood phases, but positive backscatter anomalies were not. The results support the tidal-coupling hypothesis, but suggest that changes in the distribution or behavior of schooling fish are as important as, if not more important than, changes in relative fish abundance when determining prey availability and predator foraging-success. The data show that tidal currents can play an important role in structuring nearshore predator-prey interactions.

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). 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. 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. 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 charter boat operators would generally increase, it would decrease in northern California in some areas.

This study determined desorption rates of four laboratory spiked compounds, benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), 2,4,5,2',4',5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (HCBP), 3,4,3',4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (TCBP), and pyrene (PY), to evaluate the effect of sediment characteristics. The compounds were sorbed onto seven sediments with a broad range of characteristics. Desorption was measured by Tenax-TA extraction from aqueous sediment suspensions. Desorption rates were modeled using an empirical three compartment model describing operationally defined rapid, slow, and very slow compartments. The sediments were characterized for plant pigments, organic carbon (OC), total nitrogen (TN), lipids, NaOH extractable residue, lignin, amino acids, soot carbon, and particle size fractions. Desorption from the rapid compartment for each of the planar compounds BaP, PY, and TCBP was significantly correlated to sediment characteristics that could be considered to represent younger (i.e., less diagenetically altered) organic matter, e.g., plant pigment, lipid, and lignin contents. However, for these compounds there were no significant correlations between desorption and OC, TN, soot carbon, or amino acid contents. HCBP desorption was different from the three planar molecules. For HCBP, the flux from the rapid compartment was negatively correlated (0.1 > p > 0.05) with the OC content of the sediment. Overall, HCBP desorption was dominated by the amount of OC and the particle size distribution of the sediments, while desorption of the planar compounds was dominated more by the compositional aspects of the organic matter.

AN - 16367184; 10454 AB - PURPOSE: The revision of the fishery management plan (FMP) for the bottomfish and seamount groundfish fisheries of the Western Pacific Region is proposed. The proposed revisions would focus on Hawaiian monk seal and the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) coral reef ecosystem. Only in Hawaii are there significant bottomfish fisheries in waters managed by federal agencies. The vast majority of Hawaii's waters under federal jurisdiction are located in the NWHI, a largely uninhabited portion of the archipelago extending to the northeast of the main Hawaiian Islands. The NWHI are home to the endangered Hawaiian monk seal, the threatened green turtle, and numerous species of seabirds as well as pristine coral reefs and unique terrestrial resources. The area includes the presidentially designated Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve. Key issues identified during scoping for the revision of the FMP include those related to target and nontarget species, threatened and endangered species, nonendangered marine mammals, essential fish habitat, biodiversity and ecosystems, commercial and recreational fishing, charter fishing, the regional economy, fishing communities, Native Hawaiian communities, and administration and enforcement of fishery regulations. Four alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 1), which would continue the current FMP, are considered in this draft EIS. Alternative 1 is the preferred alternative. Alternative 2 would prohibit harvesting of bottomfish management unit species in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) surrounding the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Alternative 3 would limit harvesting of bottomfish species in the EEZ surrounding the NHWI to the lifetimes of fishermen with a recurring and recent history of participation in the fishery. Under alternatives 2 and 3, harvesting of bottomfish in other island areas in the region (the remainder of the Hawaiian Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariannas) would be unaffected. Alternative 4 would establish zones in waters surrounding the NWHI to reduce the risk of damage to resources and habitat, while allowing uses that were compatible with resource and habitat protection. Two variations of the zoning approach are analyzed in this EIS. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Continuation of the established FMP would protect the fishing rights of commercial, subsistence, and recreational fishing interests, while providing reasonable protection to coral reef resources and monk seal habitat and increasing the research base that contributes to an understanding of groundfish and seamount fishery resources. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Application of existing gear for fishing would result in some incidental take of nontarget species, including the endangered monk seal, but this would not affect population levels. Anchor damage and impacts due to vessel grounding would have the potential to affect essential fish habitat.

These high-resolution data provided a significantly more detailed representation of the overall changes occurring in the system than could have been achieved by synoptic sampling from any other platform. The response time for the distribution of chlorophyll biomass to resume pre-flood conditions was used as a measure of ecosystem stability. Chlorophyll biomass patterns were reestablished within four mo of the flooding, whereas higher chlorophylla biomass concentrations persisted for approximately 6 mo. The primary trophic level in the Pamlico-Albemarle Sound system returned to equilibrium in less than a year of a major perturbation.

It describes population distributions for the country, including regions, states, counties, and places with populations of 100,000 or more. The number and percentage of people in the United States who spoke a language other than English at home increased between 1990-2000. People who spoke languages other than English at home were not equally distributed across or within regions. The U.S. west had the greatest number and proportion of non-English language speakers. More than one-quarter of the population in seven states spoke a language other than English at home. Counties with a large proportion of the population who spoke a language other than English at home were concentrated in border states. Places with the highest percentages of non-English language speakers, Spanish speakers, and people who spoke English less than very well were concentrated in California, Florida, and Texas. In 2000, 4.4 million households were linguistically isolated, significantly more than in 1990. (SM) AU - Shin, Hyon B.

Results indicated that the percentage of coresident grandparents varied sharply by race and Hispanic origin. More than half of American Indian and Alaska Native coresident grandparents and black coresident grandparents were responsible for their grandchildren. Younger grandparents were more likely to be responsible for their grandchildren. The west had the highest percentage of coresident grandparents. Counties in the midwest had some of the lowest coresident grandparent percentages. At the state level, Hawaii had the highest percentage of grandparents living with grandchildren, and North Dakota had the lowest. For many grandparent caregivers, this responsibility was a long-term commitment. San Diego, California, had the lowest percentage of coresident grandparents among the 10 largest cities in the United States. Of the 5.8 million coresident grandparents in 2000, 64 percent were women. Nearly all of grandparent caregivers were either the householder or the spouse of the householder. Nearly 20 percent of grandparent caregivers had incomes below the poverty level.

Here, we used the partial pressure of CO (sub 2) (PCO (sub 2) ), measured in surface waters from 1979 through early 2001, to examine the effect on the equatorial Pacific CO (sub 2) chemistry of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation phase shift, which occurred around 1988 to 1992. During the decade before the shift, the surface water pCO (sub 2) (corrected for temperature changes and atmospheric CO (sub 2) uptake) in the central and western Equatorial Pacific decreased at a mean rate of about -20 mu atm per decade, whereas after the shift, it increased at about +15 atm per decade. These changes altered the CO (sub 2) sink and source flux of the Equatorial Pacific significantly.

Pesticides in this runoff may be toxic to the biota inhabiting these waters. This study evaluated the effects of contaminants in South Florida canals draining into Biscayne Bay on the estuarine grass shrimp (Palaemonetes intermedius), a representative invertebrate species. Results of surface water analysis for pesticides indicated that eight pesticides out of 52 analyzed were detected. The herbicide metolachlor was found at all nine sites in the five canals sampled at concentrations up to 119 ng/L. Atrazine was detected at seven sites at concentrations up to 29 ng/L. Three organophosphate insecticides (chlorpyrifos, malathion, diazinon) were detected at three sites in two canals (Military and North). Grass shrimp from these three sites showed significantly reduced levels of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme as compared to control shrimp. These two canals are similar in the land use areas drained-urban and suburban and agriculture. The results suggest that monitoring organisms for AChE levels can be a means of detecting exposure to organophosphorus pesticide contamination.

Beaver dams measurably affect the rates of groundwater recharge and stream discharge, retain enough sediment to cause measurable changes in valley floor morphology, and generally enhance stream habitat quality for many fishes. Historically, beaver dams were numerous in small streams throughout most of the Northern Hemisphere. The cumulative loss of millions of beaver dams has dramatically affected the hydrology and sediment dynamics of stream systems. Assessing the cumulative hydrologic and geomorphic effects of depleting these millions of wood structures from small and medium-sized streams is urgently needed. This is particularly important in semiarid climates, where the widespread removal of beaver dams may have exacerbated effects of other land use changes, such as livestock grazing, to accelerate incision and the subsequent lowering of groundwater levels and drying of streams.

The RIA has high affinity for PbTx-3 [half-maximal effective concentration (EC sub(50)) plus or minus SE = 1.2 plus or minus 0.2 nM; n = 10] and recognizes both type 1 and type 2 brevetoxins, but not ciguatoxin. Direct comparison of the RIA with a radiolabeled [ super(3)H]-PbTx-3 receptor-binding assay (RBA) revealed excellent sensitivity, congener selectivity, and minimal interference from blood matrix. We first analyzed blood samples from an acute time course exposure, using a maximal nonlethal dose [180 mu g/kg body weight (bw)] for 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 24 hr. Mean blood brevetoxin levels were 36 nM at 30 min and stayed above 20 nM during the 1-4 hr time points. We next analyzed blood brevetoxin levels after longer exposure (0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 7 days). Mean blood brevetoxin levels were 26.0 nM at 0.5 days, decreased to 8.2 nM at 1.0 day, and maintained a significant level (p < 0.05) of 1.3 nM at day 2. We next determined the lowest measurable dose using increasing concentrations of PbTx-3 (10-300 mu g/kg bw). Analysis of the blood samples at 60 min revealed a linear relationship between administered and internal doses (r super(2) = 0.993). All doses of brevetoxin administered were detectable at 1 hr, with significant levels found for the lowest administered dose of 10 mu g/kg bw--a dose that was 10-fold lower than the lowest observable effect level. This RIA provides an optimal first-tier detection of brevetoxin from blood collection cards and, used in combination with the RBA and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, should provide a complete panel of methods to biomonitor brevetoxin exposure.

Nelson, in 1984, recognized the importance of tying all the building sensors to a smart fire panel. In order to accomplish a smart fire panel configuration such as envisioned by Nelson, algorithms must be developed that convert the analog/digital signals received from sensors to the heat release rate (HRR) of the fire. Once the HRR of the fire is known, a multiroom zone fire model can be used to determine smoke layers and temperatures in the other rooms of the building. This information can then be sent to the fire service providing it with an approximate overview of the fire scenario in the building. This paper will describe a ceiling jet algorithm that is being developed to predict the heat release rate (HRR) of a fire using signals from smoke and gas sensors. The prediction of this algorithm will be compared with experiments. In addition, an example of the predictions from a sensor-driven fire model, SDFM, using signals from heat sensors, will be compared with measurements from a full-scale, two-story, flashover townhouse fire.

Using these models, we identified the conditions that would result in the greatest proportion of seals hauled out. Although those "ideal conditions" differed between sites, the proportion of seals predicted to be hauled out under those conditions was very similar (81.3% for Grand Island and 85.7% for Nanvak Bay). The similar estimates for both sites suggest that haul-out proportions under locally ideal conditions may be constant between years and geographic regions, at least during the molt season.

Overlap in species composition and sizes of fishes consumed by sea lions and harvested by commercial fisheries, particularly during winter, has led to examination of potential interaction between commercial fisheries and Steller's sea lions. Abundance and distribution data for Steller's sea lions in Alaska were derived from aerial surveys conducted during the breeding season, mid-June to early July 1992, 1994, and 1996. To study winter distribution of sea lions, we conducted aerial surveys during March 1993, November-December 1994, and March 1999. We counted about one-half as many sea lions during winter surveys compared to the breeding-season surveys. Numbers of sea lions at rookery sites dropped off considerably during winter, whereas numbers at haul-out sites did not. We found little evidence of large-scale, seasonal movement, at least for the western stock of sea lions. Rather, differences between summer and winter distribution were primarily a function of sea lions dispersing to local haul-out sites during the winter. Terrestrial sites, both rookeries and haul-outs, clearly are important to Steller's sea lions during the entire year. Individual sites may be occupied year-round or only during particular times of year.

In addition, we measured changes in water temperature and potential food in both water columns and sediments. Although overall mean values of lipid and glycogen levels of Hexagenia nymphs from Lake St Clair and western Lake Erie were not significantly different, there were differences in seasonal patterns between the two lakes. In Lake St Clair, levels were highest in early spring, declined throughout the year, and reached their lowest levels in fall during all 3 years of study. In contrast, levels in western Lake Erie were lower in spring, increased to a maximum in summer, then declined in fall. Seasonal patterns in length-weight relationships were similar to those for lipid and glycogen. Total lipid as a percentage of dry weight did not increase with developmental stage of nymphs until just prior to metamorphosis and emergence from water. However, the major reserve lipid, triacylglycerols, increased systematically with development stage. In the final stage of development, triacylglycerols declined, probably as a result of energy consumption and its conversion to other biochemical components for metamorphosis and reproduction. Indicators of potential food (algal fluorescence in the water column and chlorophyll a and chlorophyll a/phaeophytin ratio in sediments) suggest that Hexagenia in Lake St Clair have a food source that is benthic based, especially in early spring, whereas in western Lake Erie nymphs have a food source that is water column based and settles to the lake bottom during late spring and summer.

Tensile testing was performed at room temperature using an extensometer and the elastic modulus was calculated for each blend. The blends were also tested to failure, and the strain-at-failure and yield stress recorded. While the blend has been shown to have a lower critical solution temperature, the mechanical properties were insensitive to the annealing conditions. Scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the blend microstructure and poor adhesion was observed at the interface between blend components. Differential scanning calorimetry was performed but the results were somewhat variable, indicating this blend may have complex phase behavior that depends sensitively on the method of preparation. However, nuclear magnetic resonance data indicate the two components are phase separated. A percolation model is used to explain the observed mechanical data and the results are consistent with the predictions of the Kerner-Uemura- Takayangi model.

Its influence on northwest African rainfall is investigated by using a large- ensemble of GCM simulations. Firstly the modeled basin-scale rainfall impact is displayed, and the results suggest: in early-mid winter (November-January), a positive SST tripole causes a reduced rainfall extending from the tropical North Atlantic northeastward to Mediterranean while a negative SST causes a south- north increased rainfall across the central Atlantic from the subtropics to the midlatitude. In late winter (February-April) a positive SST tripole causes a reduced rainfall in the central Atlantic from the subtropics to the midlatitude while a negative SST tripole induces a zonal increased rainfall from the subtropics to Mediterranean. The asymmetry and seasonal dependence of the SST influence on the basin-scale rainfall is consistent with the nonlinear response of the large-scale atmospheric circulation. Under the large-scale impact background, northwest Africa regional rainfall response is also nonlinear and seasonally dependent. In early-mid winter a positive SST tripole causes reduced rainfall, while a negative SST has little effect. In late winter a negative SST tripole induces increased rainfall, while a positive tripole has little effect. A similarly large-scale asymmetric association between SST and rainfall- circulation exists in observations in late winter, while the observed seasonal dependence of this association is relatively weak. Also, a similar SST tripole association with the regional rainfall over the northwest coast of Africa exists in observations. JF - Journal of Geophysical Research. D.

During the caries process, an acidic environment attacks the dental tissues as well as the glass-ionomer cement. We hypothesized that pH significantly affects the rate of release of fluoride from the glass-ionomer cement. A continuous-flow fluoride-measuring system that monitors the amount of fluoride released over time was used to determine the release of fluoride from a resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (KetacFil registered ). The results show that the release rate began with a fast burst of fluoride which quickly diminished to low levels in 3 days. Under neutral pH conditions, the rate of fluoride release at 72 hrs was significantly slower than at pH 4.

AN - 17754231; 5865820 AB - The U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) requires that stocks of marine mammal species in U.S. waters be maintained at or above their optimum sustainable population (OSP) level, defined as the number of animals that results in the maximum net productivity. To meet this requirement for each stock, the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) estimates annual human- caused mortality and potential biological removal (PBR), the maximum number of animals that may be removed from a stock due to human activities (e.g. fisheries bycatch) while allowing the stock to reach or maintain its OSP. PBR is calculated by following specific criteria and using the estimated abundance of the stock, its maximum net productivity rate (theoretical or estimated), and a recovery factor (Barlow et al., 1995; Wade and Angliss, 1997). The NMFS is required to prepare an annual stock assessment report (SAR) for each stock to update abundance, stock structure, maximum net productivity, human-caused mortality, PBR, and status (e.g. Waring et al., 2001).

AN - 17596016; 5865811 AB - Fecundity in striped mullet (Mugil cephalus) from South Carolina correlated highly with length and weight, but not with age. Oocyte counts ranged from 4.47 X 105 to 2.52 X 106 in 1998 for fish ranging in size from 331 mm to 600 mm total length, 2.13 X 105 to 3.89 X 106in 1999 for fish ranging in size from 332 mm to 588 mm total length, and 3.89 X 105 to 3.01 X 106 in 2000 for fish ranging in size from 325 mm to 592 mm total length. The striped mullet in this study had a high degree of variability in the size-at-age relationship; this variability was indicative of varied growth rates and compounded the errors in estimating fecundity at age. The stronger relationship of fecundity to fish size allowed a much better predictive model for potential fecundity in striped mullet. By comparing fecundity with other measures of reproductive activity, such as the gonadosomatic index, histological examination, and the measurement of mean oocyte diameters, we determined that none of these methods by themselves were adequate to determine the extent of reproductive development. Histological examinations and oocyte diameter measurements revealed that fecundity counts could be made once developing oocytes reached 0.400 mu m or larger. Striped mullet are isochronal spawners; therefore fecundity estimates for this species are easier to determine because oocytes develop at approximately the same rate upon reaching 400 mu m. This uniform development made oocytes that were to be spawned easier to count. When fecundity counts were used in conjunction with histological examination, oocyte diameter measurements, and gonadosomatic index, a more complete measure of reproductive potential and the timing of the spawning season was possible. In addition, it was determined that striped mullet that recruit into South Carolina estuaries spawn from October through April.

In vivo field potential recordings from the olfactory epithelium (electro-olfactograms) were used to measure the impacts of copper on the responses of olfactory receptor neurons to natural odorants (L-serine and taurocholic acid) and an odorant mixture (L-arginine, L-aspartic acid, L-leucine, and L-serine) over a range of stimulus concentrations. Increases in copper impaired the neurophysiological response to all odorants within 10 min of exposure. The inhibitory effects of copper (1.0-20.0 mu g/L) were dose-dependent and they were not influenced by water hardness. Toxicity thresholds for the different receptor pathways were determined by using the benchmark dose method and found to be similar (a 2.3-3.0 mu g/L increase in total dissolved copper over background). Collectively, examination of these data indicates that copper is broadly toxic to the salmon olfactory nervous system. Consequently, short-term influxes of copper to surface waters may interfere with olfactory-mediated behaviors that are critical for the survival and migratory success of wild salmonids.

The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas encourages release of live blue marlin caught with tuna gear, but for this approach to be effective, released animals must have a reasonably high post-release survival rate. Pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs) were used to monitor movement and behavior of released marlin and to assess survival for 5 d and 30 d after release. The tags, tag deployment and marlin release protocols, and analytical methods are described. PSAT performance, marlin movement, temperature trends, and survival results are summarized. Seven of the nine deployed tags successfully returned data. These marlin survived for at least 5 or 30 d. Movement patterns suggest active movement, not just current influences.

The physiological effects of multiple submergence of loggerhead sea turtles were studied in the laboratory and field. Blood samples collected pre- and post-submergence show strong metabolic and respiratory acidosis from the initial submergence. Successive submergences produced significant shifts in blood pH, lactate, and carbon dioxide. The magnitude of the acid-base imbalance declined with repeated submergences. Longer intervals between submergences permitted greater recovery of blood homeostasis. No turtles died. These and other findings suggest that repeated submergence of sea turtles in exclusion devices would not affect their survival as long as the animal had adequate rest intervals.

Restoration programs are exploring the possibility of introducing non-native disease- and parasite-resistant oyster species, such as the Suminoe oyster, to Chesapeake Bay, to offset harvests of declining native species. One proposal involves using sterile, triploid oysters, although a small part of the population may progressively revert toward diploidy and establish self-sustaining populations. The risk of such populations becoming established was assessed using a demographic population model. This model incorporates salinity, stocking densities, reversion rates, reproductive potential, natural and harvest-induced mortality, growth rates, and effects of various management strategies. The probability of Suminoe oyster populations becoming self-sustaining is lower when oysters are grown at low salinities, the certainty of harvest is high, minimum shell length-at-harvest is small, and stocking densities are low. A management strategy to lower the probability of self-sustaining Suminoe oyster populations becoming established is outlined.

Horseshoe crabs are important for multiple uses, making them a management challenge. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission aims to ensure a sustainable population that can support use by diverse ecological, biomedical, and fishing interests, but the population status of these animals needs to be known in order to develop a management scheme. A pilot benthic trawl survey was conducted in New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland in autumn 2001, for estimating the horseshoe crab abundance in the Delaware Bay area. The study area, survey gear, and population estimation methods are described. The mean abundance estimate for all crabs in the study area, based on day sampling, was 6.81 million. Abundance based on night sampling was estimated to be 11.40 million. Limitations and advantages of this approach are discussed.

Data on catch per unit effort (CPUE), size, sex, and reproductive status of trawled seahorses showed that about 72,000 lined seahorses are caught annually from a population of unknown size. Temporal and spatial variation in the CPUE and population size influenced population cohorts differently. Females were more common than males in trawl samples. Direct mortality, social disruption, and habitat damage from trawling may affect seahorse populations, but precise impacts cannot be determined. Further research and monitoring of incidentally caught small fish are needed.

The feasibility of using DNA-based methods to identify whaler sharks that are caught in beach mesh and by recreational fishers in New South Wales, Australia, was studied. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)technique is described. PCR-RFLP profiles were developed for six species of Carcharhinus. Distinct and discrete patterns were observed for each species with five restriction enzymes. With a bigger sample size, more intraspecific polymorphisms may be identifiable. The use of such genetic techniques should enable identification of Carcharhinus to species level, to provide useful data for planning conservation management strategies.

Crab depth and size distributions differed by sex and size. Crab catch rates were affected by depth, pot soak time, and area fished. Few were of legal size and thus could not be retained. Most discards appeared healthy upon discarding. Re-immersion experiments suggested that 78%-89% of crabs emptied on a conveyor would survive discarding, but of those emptied into a chute, only 38%-58% would survive. Paralomis anamerae was the species most sensitive to onboard handling and discarding, while P. formosa was least vulnerable of the three species caught.

This area serves as developmental habitat for loggerhead sea turtles that nest on beaches of the southeastern U.S. and are listed as threatened. Survival probability estimates are critically needed for understanding sea turtle demography. Catch-curve analyses were applied to two age distributions of the turtles. One was the 1600 individuals sighted and dipnetted from various vessels from 1984-1995; the other was the tuna" sample of 733 turtles sighted and dipnetted from tuna fishing vessels from 1990-92. Loggerhead sea turtles begin to emigrate from oceanic to neritic habitats at age 7, so the best estimates of instantaneous mortality rates and annual survival probability were derived for age classes 2 through 6, and were 0.094 and 0.911, respectively. Interpretation of these estimates should be qualified by catch-curve analysis assumptions.

This management approach is evaluated in terms of meeting goals of the Sustainable Fisheries Act, using a Monte Carlo simulation framework. Simulations for the case of the widow rockfish, catches during recovery and afterward are likely to be highly variable (as much as plus or minus 30%) from one year to the next. This level is much more than has been encountered by decision-makers to date. Because additional data are not likely to be collected, better methods of predicting future recruitment will be needed in order to devise appropriate management strategies.

From 1994 to 2000, we sampled benthic megafauna with a 1 m Naturalists' dredge at shallow (47 to 62 m) and deep (80 to 90 m) sites. The cessation of fishing in large areas of Georges Bank in January 1995 allowed us to monitor changes in production at a previously disturbed site. Production at a shallow disturbed site varied little over the sampling period (32 to 57 kcal/m super(2)/yr) and was markedly lower than production at the nearby recovering site, where production increased from 17 kcal/m super(2)/yr in 1994 before the closure to 215 kcal/m super(2)/yr in 2000. Atlantic sea scallops Placopecten magellanicus and green sea urchins Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis dominated production at the recovering site. The community production:biomass ratio decreased over time at the recovering site as the sea scallop population matured. At the deep sites, production remained significantly higher at undisturbed sites (174 to 256 kcal/m super(2)/yr) than at disturbed sites (30 to 52 kcal/m super(2)/yr). The soft-bodied tube-building polychaete Thelepus cincinnatus dominated production at the undisturbed site, while hard-shelled bivalve molluscs Astarte spp. and P. magellanicus were prevalent at the disturbed site. Mobile fishing gear disturbance has a conspicuous effect on benthic megafaunal production in this hard-bottom habitat. Cessation of mobile fishing has resulted in a marked increase in benthic megafaunal production. These findings should help fishery managers to gauge the costs and benefits of management tools such as area closures and low-impact fishing gears.

LUCIE RIVER, COUNTY ROAD 714 (MARTIN HIGHWAY)/SW 36TH STREET/INDIAN STREET, FROM FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE TO EAST OF WILLOUGHBY BOULEVARD, MARTIN COUNTY, FLORIDA. AN - 36346325; 10437-030448_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The construction of a new bridge crossing of the South Fork of the St. Lucie River from Florida's Turnpike to east of Willoughby Boulevard in Martin County, Florida is proposed. The study area is bordered by the Turnpike to the west, Federal Highway (State Route (SR) 5/US 1) to the east, the Interstate 95 (I-95) crossing of the St. Lucie Canal to the south, and the Martin/St/Lucie County line to the north. The project would extend along SR 714/Martin Highway and Southwest 36th Street, providing a new bridge over the South Fork and connecting with Indian Street. In April 1998, a feasibility study was completed addressing the improvement of SR 714 and the Palm City Bridge from four lanes to either six or eight lanes between Florida's Turnpike and Federal Highway. The study determined that it is not feasible to widen the existing SR 714 corridor and the Palm City Bridge. The report recommended that additional corridors be evaluated to provide the needed capacity between Palm City and Stuart, which would require a crossing of the only major tributary of the St. Lucie River. a report on new bridge crossing possibilities was completed in March 2001. Seven corridor alternatives and a No-Build Alternative are considered in this draft EIS. In addition, a two-lane and a four-lane cross-section are evaluated for each corridor. Combinations of two two-lane corridors are evaluated to achieve the needed four lanes. Finally, the corridor is broken down into four segments, and two or three final alternatives are presented for each segment. The combination of final alternatives would provide for a four-lane facility from the Turnpike to Kanner Highway and a four- or six-lane facility from Kanner Highway to Willoughby Boulevard. Depending on the combination of alternatives selected, estimated cost of the project ranges from $101 million to $141 million. POSITIVE IMPACTS: The project would provide an additional crossing of the St. Lucie River in a highly developed area of Martin County, complementing other transportation network developments in the area. The current bottlenecks at existing crossings would be relieved area growth would be accommodated. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Rights-of-way requirements would result in the displacement of numerous residential and commercial structures as well as sites providing public services. Five public recreation sites would be affected. Up to three acres of wetland would be displaced, and a portion of the highway would lie within floodplain land. Traffic generated noise levels would exceed federal standards at numerous locations along the roadway corridor. Construction activities would encounter seven hazardous materials sites.

[Part 1 of 1] T2 - SUBSISTENCE HARVEST MANAGEMENT OF COOK INLET BELUGA WHALES, ALASKA. AN - 36352075; 10417-030426_0001 AB - PURPOSE: The implementation of a program to manage and recover the stock of beluga whales inhabiting Cook Inlet (CI), Alaska is proposed. CI is a large tidal estuary flowing into the Gulf of Alaska. The abundance estimates for the beluga whale stock indicated a decline of nearly 50 percent between 1994 and 1999, leading the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to designate this stock as depleted under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (MMPA) on May 31, 2000. The recovery of the CI beluga whale is dependent on the identification of those factors, which have caused the stock to decline and on the identification and implementation of measures to control those factors. A review of the natural and anthropogenic factors potentially impacting the stock off CI beluga whales indicates that subsistence harvest is the most likely cause of the decline. The magnitude of decline, approximately 300 animals, is consistent with estimates of harvest of the period extending between 1994 and 1999; an estimated 316 animals were harvested during the period. To address this critical issue, legislation was passed on May 21, 1999, prohibiting the taking of CI beluga whale under the exemption provided in section 101(b) of the MMPA between the date of the enactment of the legislation and October 1, 2000, unless such taking occurs pursuant to a cooperative agreement between the NMFS and affected Alaska Native organizations. In support of the hypothesis that over-harvest is the principal cause of the stock decline, the population estimate was 357 whales. While the decline during the 1994-1999 period remains significant, a slight increase in the 1999 stock estimate followed the moratorium imposed by Congress. It is the opinion of the NMFS that the increase in population was the result of the moratorium, supporting the need to limit subsistence harvest. However, traditional and historic use of beluga wales inhabiting the CI by the village of Tyonek, other CI villages, and Alaskan Natives has been demonstrated. Subsistence harvest plays in important role in Native culture. The NMFS proposes to limit annual harvest levels through a regulation implemented via a co-management agreement under the MMPA. Seven alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative 6), are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative (Alternative 7) would provide for a total of six strikes during the period extending from 2001 to 2004, recommending that these wales be allocated through a co-management agreement arrangements. Four of the strikes, not to exceed one per year, would be allocated to the Tyonek. The remaining two strikes would be allocated over the time period to through co-management agreement arrangements to other CI community hunters, with no more than one strike being allocated during every other year. The number of whales to be taken per year during 2005 and subsequent years would not be specified at this time. POSITIVE IMPACTS: Regulatory management under the preferred alternative would allow the beluga stock to recover within approximately 25 years. The alternative would provide for traditional Native Alaskan harvests and maintain harvest skills across generations, while not significantly increasing recovery time for the beluga stock. NEGATIVE IMPACTS: Compared to absolute prohibition of harvest, the preferred alternative could extend the period required for stock recovery. Hunters who have relied on the beluga for income would suffer economic losses. LEGAL MANDATES: Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1371(a)) and Public Law 106-553.

[Part 1 of 2] T2 - AMENDMENT 16-2 TO THE PACIFIC COAST GROUNDFISH FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN: REBUILDING PLANS FOR DARKBLOTCHED ROCKFISH, PACIFIC OCEAN PERCH, CANARY ROCKFISH, AND LINGCOD. AN - 36381354; 10414-030423_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 canary rockfish, darkblotched rockfish, lingcod, and Pacific Ocean perch. The Secretary of Commerce has declared nine fish species managed under the FMP to be overfished, based on criteria and procedures in the authorizing legislation and overfishing criteria adopted by the Pacific Fishery Management Council under Amendment 11 to the FMP. The amendment proposed would adopt rebuilding plans for the four abovementioned species in order to rebuild these stocks to a size capable of supporting minimum sustainable yield (MSY) or to stock sizes less than MSY if such stock size results in long-term net benefits to the nation. A range of management measures implemented through the annual/biennial harvest specification process would be used to constrain total fishing mortality within levels identified by specified parameters. The range of measures is not expected to differ in kind among the alternative amendment proposals considered. The alternatives are structures around management targets for each of the four species. The rebuilding plans would specify a target year based on the time required for the stock to reach MSY. The target year is bounded by a lower limit defined at the time required for rebuilding in the absence of fishing. Rebuilding plans for stock with a lower limit timeframe of less than 10 years must have a target less than or equal to 10 years. The mandating legislation states that the rebuilding time should be as short as possible, taking into account the status and biology of the overfished stocks and the needs of the fishing communities. In most cases, due to the biology of the stocks and the needs of the affected fishing communities, the rebuilding time will be greater than the minimum rebuilding time. Five primary alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, and several intermediate alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would manage the four stocks using targets identified under current interim rebuilding plan for each. For this reason, the preferred alternative could also be considered the No Action Alternative. Under the preferred alternative, the probabilities of MSY and the years by which MSY would be reached are 80 percent by 2030 for dark blotched rockfish, 70 percent by 2027 for Pacific Ocean perch, 60 percent by 2074 for canary rockfish, and 60 percent by 2009 for lingcod. 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. 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.

The amendment proposed would adopt rebuilding plans for the four abovementioned species in order to rebuild these stocks to a size capable of supporting minimum sustainable yield (MSY) or to stock sizes less than MSY if such stock size results in long-term net benefits to the nation. A range of management measures implemented through the annual/biennial harvest specification process would be used to constrain total fishing mortality within levels identified by specified parameters. The range of measures is not expected to differ in kind among the alternative amendment proposals considered. The alternatives are structures around management targets for each of the four species. The rebuilding plans would specify a target year based on the time required for the stock to reach MSY. The target year is bounded by a lower limit defined at the time required for rebuilding in the absence of fishing. Rebuilding plans for stock with a lower limit timeframe of less than 10 years must have a target less than or equal to 10 years. The mandating legislation states that the rebuilding time should be as short as possible, taking into account the status and biology of the overfished stocks and the needs of the fishing communities. In most cases, due to the biology of the stocks and the needs of the affected fishing communities, the rebuilding time will be greater than the minimum rebuilding time. Five primary alternatives, including a No Action Alternative, and several intermediate alternatives are considered in this draft EIS. The preferred alternative would manage the four stocks using targets identified under current interim rebuilding plan for each. For this reason, the preferred alternative could also be considered the No Action Alternative. Under the preferred alternative, the probabilities of MSY and the years by which MSY would be reached are 80 percent by 2030 for dark blotched rockfish, 70 percent by 2027 for Pacific Ocean perch, 60 percent by 2074 for canary rockfish, and 60 percent by 2009 for lingcod. 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. 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.

AN - 36381871; 10400-030407_0004 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 draft 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 X 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.
