The evolution of sex-change mechanisms in fishes

Five distinct sex-change mechanisms are identified among sequentially hermaphroditic fishes based on socio-ecological characteristics. The primary determinants of the sex-change mechanisms appear to be social organization and mating system, which in turn depend on resource distribution in space and time. The ability of a single individual to control all mating in the social unit, which is related

Blue-sac disease in Lake Ontario lake trout

Egg lots from individual females of Seneca strain lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), captured from Lake Ontario and incubated at 7°–9°C, showed a very high incidence of blue-sac disease and associated mortality. Losses were shown to be female dependent. Some of the eggs were found to be infected by a myxobacterium (Cytophaga sp.) that may have been transmitted to the fry through the egg and/or spe

Modeling the effects of serial off-gas reuse on the performance of a hooded surface oxygen obsorption system

A numerical model was used to evaluate the performance of a surface agitation system designed to contact commercial oxygen with water. The modeled system was unique in that oxygen-rich off-gas, normally discharged to the atmosphere, was directed in serial reuse through additional contact stages receiving untreated water. A correlation between the agitator mass-transfer coefficient and power demand

Gas transfer within a multi-stage packed column oxygen absorber: Model development and application

A packed column oxygen obsorber was developed in which oxygen flow is directed, in serial reuse, through parallel packed column stages receiving equal portions of the liquid being treated. The relative performance of the absorber was established using a computer simulation program employing finite difference-mass transfer calculations. The program was calibrated using packing specific mass transfe
