    Notes: Abstract Special hydrodynamic-chemical conditions at the East Flower Garden brine seep have provided the opportunity to examine the community structure of the thiobios and the oxybiotic-thiobiotic boundary. The boundary between the thiobios, whose population maxima occur in sulfidedependent chemoclines and which presumably have an ecologic requirement for sulfide, and the oxybios, which occur in oxidized zones above the chemocline, is controlled by sulfide, not oxygen. The boundary, which may not be at zero sulfide, is determined by a time-concentration phenomenon based on a dynamic interplay of sulfide and oxygen supply rates and the biota's sulfide detoxification capabilities. In Gollum's Canyon, where oxygen is plentiful, the boundary is at 10–40 μg-atoms·l-1 sulfide. Total abundances of organisms at thiobiotic stations were comparable to total abundances at oxybiotic stations. Highest thiobiotic abundance was 202 051 organisms per m2; highest oxybiotic abundance was 240 572 organisms per m2. The thiobios is dominated by representatives of the lower Bilateria (viz. Gnathostomulida, Platyhelminthes and Aschelminthes). These groups accounted for 50–80% of all the organisms present in the thiobiotic stations but less than 20% of all organisms in the oxybiotic stations. At two thiobiotic stations, over 50% of all organisms were gnathostomulids. Thiobios included macrofaunal as well as meiofaunal components. Peak abundances of amphipods were associated with the thiobiotic environment.

    Effects of turbidity on calcification rate, protein concentration and the free amino acid pool of the coral Acropora cervicornis (1985)

    Notes: Abstract Calcification rate in the coral Acropora cervicornis was reduced significantly when exposed for 24 h to 100-ppm kaolin, but was unchanged in corals exposed to 50-ppm kaolin. Calcification rate returned to control levels during a 48-h recovery period. Most free amino acids (FAA) in the FAA pool decreased significantly in corals exposed to 100-ppm kaolin, but were unchanged in corals exposed to 50-ppm kaolin. After a 48-h recovery period, the FAA pool remained considerably below control levels in the 100-ppm exposed corals and dropped below control levels in the 50-ppm exposed corals. Calcification rate dropped less and later during the exposure period in the growing tip than in sections further down the stalk. The reduction in FAA pool size was considerably larger in the growing tip than further down the stalk. Soluble protein concentration remained unchanged during both exposure and recovery. The data are consistent with the interpretation that turbidity not only causes a decrease in photosynthetic rate and the synthesis of small molecules, but also causes a large increase in the utilization of stored organic molecules for such metabolically costly processes as mucus production and sediment removal.

    Notes: [Auszug] THE research vessel Alaminos from Texas A & M University was in the Gulf of Mexico on March 7 to record changes in the near-surface layers of sea and air as a consequence of the eclipse. So that a maximum variation in incident solar radiation could be realized, the observing site was chosen at ...

    Recovery by the coralAcropora cervicornis after drilling mud exposure. The free amino acid pool (1984)

    Notes: Abstract Corals were exposed to drilling mud for 24 hr and then allowed to recover for 48 hr in clean seawater. Depending on the concentration and the mud used, exposure produced either an increase or decrease in free amino acid (FAA) pool size. Aspartate was affected to a greater degree than other amino acids. No clear instance of recovery could be ascertained after 48 hr in clean seawater. In several cases, corals, apparently unaffected by a 24 hr exposure, nevertheless suffered significant changes in the FAA pool during the 48 hr recovery period. Thus, the degree of toxicity of the drilling mud could not be accurately predicted from the 24 hr exposure data. In many cases, the choice of a normalizing parameter determined whether two sets of data were significantly different or not. Accurate effects assessment depends on a comparison of several methods of normalization to confirm statistical results.

    The importance of monitoring metabolic recovery in the coral Acropora cervicornis after short-term exposure to drilling muds: Calcification rate and protein concentration (1984)

    Notes: Abstract The effect of used drilling muds on coral health was examined by monitoring changes in calcification rate and soluble tissue protein concentration in the coral Acropora cervicornis. Exposure to 25 ppm (v/v) of one mud for 24 h reduced calcification rate in the growing tips by as much as 62%. In recovery experiments, corals were exposed to drilling muds for 24 h; some of them were allowed to recover in clean seawater for 48 h. After the 24-hour exposure, calcification rates were significantly less than those of the controls. After a 48-hour recovery period, calcification rates returned to control levels for one mud but were still significantly below control levels for another. The results indicate that the capacity for recovery after exposure cannot be predicted from the results of experiments on exposure only. Recovery capacity must be independently verified for all studies on the effects of short-term exposure to drilling muds.

    The effect of sulfide and an increased food supply on the meiofauna and macrofauna at the East Flower Garden brine seep (1986)

    Notes: Abstract A sulfurous brine seep at the East Flower Garden Bank, northwest Gulf of Mexico, produces conditions conducive to the growth of a luxuriant prokaryotic biota. Hydrodynamic cropping continually harvests this biota and distributes it to sandy-bottom and hard-bank benthic communities downstream of the seep. Consequently, both macro- and meiofaunal abundances are dramatically increased above the regional norm in parts of the seep system. When sulfide is present, the lower Bilaterian groups belonging to the meiofauna dominate the community; without sulfide, macrofaunal groups, particularly crustaceans, dominate the community. Outside the influence of the seep, meiofaunal copepods predominate. Changes in taxonomic composition and abundance indicate that the sandy-bottom benthos at 70–80 m depth at the East Flower Garden bank is foodlimited and that, under these conditions, meiofauna, particularly the higher Bilaterian groups, dominate the community numerically. Perhaps, under food-limiting conditions, meiofauna compete favorably with macrofauna for food.
