| strong seasonality of bonamia sp. infection and induced crassostrea ariakensis mortality in bogue and masonboro sounds, north carolina, usa. | asian oyster crassostrea ariakensis is being considered for introduction to atlantic coastal waters of the usa. successful aquaculture of this species will depend partly on mitigating impacts by bonamia sp., a parasite that has caused high c. ariakensis mortality south of virginia. to better understand the biology of this parasite and identify strategies for management, we evaluated its seasonal pattern of infection in c. ariakensis at two north carolina, usa, locations in 2005. small (<50 mm) t ... | 2008 | 18455182 |
| bacterioplanktonic abundance, productivity and petroleum hydrocarbon biodegradation in marinas and other coastal waters in north carolina, usa. | the purpose of this study was to assess the differences in the abundance and activity of the bacterioplankton at sites with varied boating activity, and to determine the response of the communities to additional petroleum pollution. three sites, including two marinas and a site on bogue sound in coastal north carolina, were selected for monthly experiments. seasonal patterns of bacterioplanktonic abundance and diesel fuel biodegradation for each site were examined, and possible correlations with ... | 2002 | 12206408 |
