Information essential to all aspects of marine and freshwater aquaculture is covered in ASFA Aquaculture Abstracts. This specialized database specifically selects its widely dispersed aquaculture-related information. Focusing on studies related to improving and augmenting aquatic yields, the records included provide comprehensive information on cultivating marine, freshwater, and brackishwater species. All types of source documents are surveyed to provide international perspectives on the science, practice, management, and economics of aquaculture. References from related disciplines - such as water pollution, ecology, diseases, nutrition, oceanography, and limnology - are also scanned for relevant material directly applicable to aquacultural situations. Information on instruments, technological developments, culturing techniques, and new methods of husbandry are significant features.With the extensive information resources of the international ASFA partnership behind it, ASFA Aquaculture Abstracts provides specific, unparalleled coverage of the planned management of aquatic organisms.

Abstract
During RV Meteor cruise No. 10 from May to June 1989 (JGOFS pilot
study) bacterial and picocyanobacterial abundance, biomass, and
bacterial production were estimated at two drift stations close
to 47N, 20W and 58N, 20W in the northeast Atlantic. At 47N two
different mesoscale hydrographic structures were sampled which
divided the drift experiment into a cyclonic and an anticyclonic
circulation phase. Transition from one phase to the next was clearly
reflected by changes of the biological structure in the upper
water column. The results suggest that within a specific type
of hydrographic structure either a heterotrophic or an autotrophic
system can be established, depending on the stage of bloom development.
In conclusion: Depending on their origin and age, mesoscale hydrographic
structures can be correlated with different stages of biological
development. This leads to the mesoscale patchiness of biological
measurements, which is a characteristic feature of the northeast
Atlantic. |
