GENETIC ANALYSES ON THE DEEP-SEA SHRIMP ACANTHEPHYRA PELAGICA IN THE NORTH-WEST ATLANTIC.
(2014-07-21)This study examine the population structure, and mating system in Acanthephyra pelagica. Samples were obtained in different areas of the Northwest Atlantic with emphasis in the Sable Gully. Ten microsatellite loci were ... -
Methyl iodide in the NW Atlantic; spatial and seasonal variation
(American Geophysical Union, Washington, DC, 2009)While the global ocean is an important source of atmospheric methyl iodide (CH (sub 3) I), the major producers of CH (sub 3) I within the ocean remain unclear. During a seasonal study in the NW Atlantic, the relationship ... -
Population regulation of sea urchins in a rocky subtidal ecosystem
(2015-03-31)Herbivory by sea urchins is an important control of seaweed biomass worldwide. For my doctoral thesis, I investigate biological processes that govern the dynamics of a kelp bed ecosystem on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia: ... -
Skate and Ray Management in the Northwest Atlantic: An Overview of Current Management and Recommendations for Conservation
(2012-09-20)Skates and rays are among the most vulnerable of exploited marine fish, not only due to target catches, but also because of high bycatch and discard rates in ground fisheries. This thesis reviews existing management measures ... -
Source Sector Analysis of Marine and Other Volatile Organic Compounds on Sable Island, Nova Scotia, Canada
(2017-08-17)Phytoplankton produce approximately 40% of the world’s oxygen and play a critical role in regulating global climate by the drawdown of atmospheric carbon dioxide and, as suggested by increasing evidence, through the emission ... -
