Byssus Production in Freshwater Mussels (Bivalvia: Unionoidea)
… post-larval stages. Unattached byssus slowed sinking rate in very young mussels but its use for dispersal has not been demonstrated in Unionoida. Byssus attachment to solid surfaces and to the byssus of other mussels was evident in several species when they exceeded about 1.5 months of age and …

Marine snow tracking stereo imaging system
… cycle and carbon sequestration. Quantifying the rate of this Biological Carbon Pump - the size and velocity distribution of falling particles below the mixing layer, for example - is thus of considerable importance. The complexity of this Pump, however, together with systematic biases in …

Phytoplankton Dynamics in the Very Low Salinity Region of the James River Estuary, Virginia, U.S.A.
… periods of low river discharge. Close balance of sinking rates of dominant phytoplankton species with the net upward vertical water velocity, relatively large netplankton biomass (retained by 23 um screen), exhaustion of dissolved silicate, relatively high ratio of particulate biogenic silica to …

The aggregation of clay minerals and marine microalgal cells : physicochemical theory and implications for controlling harmful algal blooms
… has emerged as one of the most promising strategies for directly controlling harmful algal blooms (HABs). Its principle is based on the mutual aggregation of algal cells and mineral particles, leading to the formation of large flocs that rapidly settle to the ocean floor. This work …
