Development and testing of an instrument to measure estuarine floc size and settling velocity in situ
Creators: name: FENNESSY, MICHAEL JIM
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1994

description: An instrument has been developed to observe the settling of individual flocs in turbid water in order to to measure size and settling velocity spectra of estuarine cohesive suspended sediments. INSSEV - IN Situ SEttling Velocity instrument - is bed mounted and comprises a computer controlled decelerator chamber that collects a sample of water from which some of the suspended matter is allowed to enter the top of a settling column. The settling flocs are viewed using a miniature video system. Subsequent analysis of video tapes provides direct measurements of size and settling velocity of individual flocs down to 20 um. From this information floc effective density is estimated. The main feature of the instrument is its ability to video flocs in situ irrespective of the concentration in the estuary, with as little disturbance to their hydrodynamic environment as possible. In addition to size and settling velocity distributions, data analysis developed for the instrument produces spectra of concentration and settling flux with respect to size, settling velocity or effective density. This is the first time that these parameters have been measured in situ. Field testing in the Tamar Estuary, South West England, and the Elbe Estuary, Germany, has given useful results in flow velocities up to 0.6 m s-1 and in concentrations up to 400 mg l-1 INSSEV was used in the 1993 Elbe Intercalibration Experiment where nearly all types of instrumentation for the in situ determination of estuarine floc size and/or settling velocity were deployed over several tidal cycles. From observations in the turbidity maximum of the Tamar Estuary, INSSEV data has shown significant changes in floc population characteristics during the tidal cycle, the most important being changes in floc effective density. A strong relationship between floc effective density and ambient turbulence characteristics is shown.

 Applequist (in Taxon 51: 757-761. 2003) gives a detailed review of the nomenclature associated with this name, and accepts Jeffrey’s type choice. Although both M. chamomilla L. and M. recutita L.

THE lMMUNE RESPONSE OF PLAICE WITH PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON ANTIGENIC SIMULATION BY TISSUE PARASITES
Creators: name: Cottrell, Barrie J.
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1975

description: Antibody responses to soluble and cellular antigens have been demonstrated in juvenile and adult plaice, Pleuronectes platessa L. A relatively strong precipitating antibody was produced to calf serum, but not to bovine serum albumin. The onset, and magnitude of antibody production was temperature dependant and physico-chemical characterisation of plaice precipitins indicated they were of the IgM class. Plaice also produced haemagglutinins, following injection of rabbit erythrocytes, with a suggestion of a heightened response upon secondary stimulation with the antigen. An evaluation was made of the humoral immune.response of the fish to three tissue parasites; Rhipidocotyle johnstonei and Cryptocotyle lingua, the metacercariae of which develop in the musculature and. connective tissue of plaice; and Trypanosoma platessae, a haemoflagellate. Elevated levels of β-globulin were detected in the sera of T. platessae infected plaice, and it is suggested that this may be associated with antibody secretion to the parasite. Further studies were made on the biology of T. platessae, including efforts to maintain the parasite, by passage, in the laboratory. Natural and experimental infections with the metacercariae of C. lingua and R. johnstonei induced a temperature dependant, precipitin response in plaice. Application of the indirect fluorescent antibody technique suggested that the functional antigens of both parasites included somatic elements, however the antigens of R. johnstonei were also clearly associated with secretory tissues. A 'natural' antibody, present in the sera of the majority of test plaice, was found to precipitate in agar gel with an antigenic extract of the nematode, Proleptus obtusus. This was considered of particular interest, as P. obtusus is a parasite specific to the dogfish and is unknown in plaice. The precipitin, first suspected of being non-specific C-reactive protein, was later characterised as 19S IgM. The nature of serological and immunological changes in fish subjected to immunisation and. parasitic infection was reviewed and discussed in relation to the findings of the present project.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fish communities are influenced both by climate-hydrographic impacts and by exploitation of selected species within foodwebs. The response of fish communities to these impacts can be difficult to distinguish, and in many situations, both factors interact to affect fish communities. The Kattegat-Belt Sea, which is located between the North and Baltic Sea, and has been exposed to several major perturbations in the past few decades, including overexploitation of some fish species, eutrophication and most recently an increase in temperature.

DIETARY INTERACTIONS INFLUENCING FEED INTAKE, NUTRIENT UTILISATION AND APPETITE REGULATION IN THE RAINBOW TROUT, Oncorhynchus mykiss
Creators: name: TEKINAY, AHMET ADEM
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1999

description: Dietary factors are one of the most significant considerations in the regulation of appetite in fish since dietary nutrient and energy concentration modulate feed intake in the short and longer term. These interactions may also be important from a commercial aspect, since the objective of aquaculture is to obtain maximum growth, feed efficiency and consumer acceptance of the product. This thesis addresses the major dietary components which are likely to influence appetite in rainbow trout. These include dietary lipid level, carbohydrate content and degree of complexity as well as energy density and protein/energy ratio. Experimental data is presented which examines the influence of such factors on reed intake, growth performance, nutrient utilisation, gastric evacuation rate, return of appetite and changes with respect to the postprandial level of circulating plasma metabolites. It is proposed that rainbow trout have the capacity to regulate feed intake within specific constraints. On the other hand, trout become obese when offered high oil diets and fail to control feed intake in the short term, possibly due to the palatability of lipids. Regulation may also appear at a metabolic level following accumulation of lipids in adipose tissue. Gastric evacuation rate was probably the main factor in the short term influencing feed intake. This was irrespective of carbohydrate complexity or level in the diet. However, simple sugars might suppress the appetite of trout in the longer term. The biochemical status of liver via plasma glucose concentration may play a more important role compared to gastric fullness in the long- term regulation of appetite. It was postulated that X-radiography was a paramount technique for the quantification of sequential meals and return of appetite measurements in these investigations. The above parameters and their interactions were studied in relation to the physiological control of feed intake in order to develop a more defined model for such processes and to improve the optimum feeding regimes for rainbow trout under intensive production conditions. This is discussed within the wider concept of fish nutrition, and the implications for future research in this area are stated.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In the Baltic Sea, two genetically distinct cod populations occur, the eastern Baltic cod inICES SDs 25-32 and the western Baltic cod in SDs 22-24. Since 2006, cod abundance hasincreased 5 fold in the Arkona Basin in the eastern part of the western cod’s management unit(SD 24), presumably due to spill-over from the eastern stock, but remained constant in SD22. A consequence of such a spill-over is the increased risk of local depletion of the westernBaltic cod stock. The spatio-temporal dynamics of stock mixing were analysed using shapeanalysis of archived otoliths. The percentage of eastern Baltic cod in the Arkona Basinincreased from ca. 30 % before 2005 to 60 - 80 % in recent years. The spatial resolution ofstock mixing suggests immigration occurring north of Bornholm, but propagating throughoutthe Arkona Basin. A length-related trend in immigration was indicated, which started withmedium sized cod followed by progressively larger individuals but was somewhat variablebetween years. The immigration cannot be attributed to spawning migration, as no seasonaltrend in stock mixing was observed.
THE POTENTIAL USE OF (1→3, 1→4)-β-D-GLUCAN FROM BARLEY AS A FUNCTIONAL FOOD INGREDIENT FOR CEREAL FOODS
Creators: name: CLEARY, LOUISE JANE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2006

description: The health related importance of dietary fibre as part of a balanced diet is well known. More recently, soluble fibres, such as (1→3, 1→4)-β-D-glucan (β-glucan), have been shown to influence glycaemic, insulin and cholesterol responses to foods. Barley is a rich source of β-glucan; however, consumption of products containing barley grain or flour is often limited by their negative organoleptic quality. A potential solution lies in the use of barley as an extraction source for β-glucan fractions. One problem with regards to this is the lack of clarity on the use of barley β-glucan fractions in food systems, particularly their physiological and physico-chemical properties. The aim of this study was to determine the potential of barley β-glucan fractions as functional ingredients in cereal foods. The effects of extraction treatment on fraction composition and physico-chemical properties were investigated. Subsequently, barley β-glucan fractions (from a bench-top and commercial extraction procedure and of differing molecular weight) were incorporated into white wheat bread and durum wheat semolina pasta. The effects on product quality and in vitro starch digestibility were investigated. Simultaneously, the effect of processing on the degradation of β-glucan molecular weight was evaluated. Different extraction treatments may influence the composition and physico-chemical properties of barley β-glucan fractions. The inclusion of barley β-glucan fractions in bread and pasta resulted in a slight reduction of product quality but generally reduced the rate and extent of in vitro starch digestibility. Factors such as composition, water retention capacity, integration within the cereal food matrix and molecular weight may influence the behaviour of the fractions. Bread manufacture resulted in degradation of β-glucan molecular weight, although only high molecular weight β-glucans were susceptible to degradation. The results of the study have both scientific and commercial value and provide foundations for further development of barley β-glucan enriched cereal products.

description: Topographic features, such as seamounts and atolls, are commonly identified as biodiversity hotspots that are key areas of productivity in an otherwise oligotrophic Indian Ocean. Whilst these sites of increased biomass are frequently identified, the oceanographic drivers that underpin the spatiotemporal distributions of biomass are not. If effective conservation measures are to be continued and implemented in regions such as the Chagos Archipelago Marine Protected Area (MPA) then the spatial variability of biomass and the physical drivers must be elucidated. This study presents case studies at Sandes seamount and Egmont atoll in the Chagos Archipelago identifying the distributions and behavioural responses of pelagic biota to oceanographic processes. Multifrequency fisheries acoustics data was combined with synoptically collected oceanographic sensor data to determine the oceanographic drivers of pelagic biota. In-situ sampling was also conducted to determine the composition of species over topographic features. Both regional and fine-scale physical processes were identified driving the distribution of biological aggregations over the different topographic features in the Chagos Archipelago. Around Sandes seamount, a joint climatic-oceanographic event, the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), affected sea surface temperatures and current velocities causing the deepening of the thermocline. This dramatically reduced the number of schooling fish over the summit of Sandes seamount re-distributing schools into deeper water around the flanks of the seamount. Analysis of the plankton distributions at Sandes seamount also highlighted the role of the thermocline in aggregating biota. At Egmont atoll, flow-topography interactions dictated the spatial distribution of schooling fish, with canyons and lagoons influencing fish behaviour. This research emphasises the biological importance of seamounts and atolls in the Chagos Archipelago. Understanding the spatial variability of biota around topographic features is vital to improve the efficiency and efficacy of marine spatial plans. By recognizing the behavioural responses of pelagic fish and plankton to oceanographic processes in the Chagos Archipelago this work can contribute to a wider understanding of biophysical interactions around topographic features globally.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.For centuries, beach cast carcases of marine mammals have been used to study a wide range of biological disciplines. However the ecological value of the stranding record is often challenged due to the complexity in quantifying the biases associated with multiple components of the stranding process and as a result, strandings have been underutilised in the context of population monitoring and conservation. Using harbour porpoises as an example, we show how examination of baseline variability in the stranding record can reveal vital clues about the processes that generated those data. Seasonal variability was examined using harbour porpoise strandings between 1992 and 2014 on the east coast of Scotland. Generalised Additive Mixed modelling revealed a strong seasonal pattern, with numbers increasing from February towards a peak in April. Profiling seasonality this way facilitated the detection of unusual elevations in stranding frequencies, as demonstrated by a marked increase in magnitude observed in spring 2013. We additionally discuss how improvements in the methodological approach, refinements to sampling strategies and integration of multiple data sources can assist interpretation of stranding numbers as well as wider metrics, and how strandings thereby have the potential to serve as indicators of change in a wider ecological context.
IMMUNE RESPONSE OF CARP Cyprinus carpio (L.) TO Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (FOQUET), WITH REFERENCE TO EVENTS WITHIN THE EPIDERMIS
Creators: name: Cross, Martin Leslie
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1990

description: The in vitro and in situ immune responses of carp Cyprinus carpio to Ichthyophthirius multifiliis were investigated in order to characterise the immune mechanisms involved in protection. 'O' group and adult carp were immunised against I.multifiliis by controlled infection procedures. Sterile immunity was not achieved; theronts were observed to penetrate the skin of immunised fish, although in the majority of cases this did not lead to successful trophozoite establishment. It was concluded that most parasites prematurely exited the epidermis of immunised fish within two hours of penetration as an active survival strategy. Trophozoites remaining in immunised fish beyond two hours post infection were able to complete normal development. Serum from carp immunised against I.multifiliis displayed specific in vitro theront immobilising activity, and antibody was detected against parasite ciliary membranes and mucocyst organellae; similar activity was not detected in cutaneous mucus. Significant amounts of antibody could not be located at the immediate host/parasite interface of trophozoites in situ in immune skin; prevention of antibody binding may be achieved by means of a mucocyst-derived "sheath" around the parasite and the formation of a layer of necrotic host tissue debris. Parasite development in immunised fish initiated a localised cellular infiltration, predominated by type III granulocytes ("basophils'') and mast cell-like cells, the activity of which may augment further cellular and humoral infiltration. Sites of premature parasite exit from the epidermis of immunised fish were infiltrated by actively phagocytic cells, predominantly macrophages, probably in response to localised antibody/antigen complex deposition. Pronephric leucocytes of immunised fish displayed greater in vitro non-specific phagocytic activity than cells of carp naive to I.multifiliis; the relevance of this to enhanced antigen uptake in immunised fish is discussed. Based on results of the present study, a model for the Mode of protection in fish against I.multifiliis is proposed.

description: In Washington, D.C., neoliberal education policies, characterized by market-driven reforms, have significantly reshaped the public-school landscape. This dissertation employed critical policy analysis and qualitative methodologies to investigate how such policies contribute to the mobility of Black and “at-risk” students in this context. Despite the prevalence of student mobility in urban centers affected by neoliberal reforms, such as New Orleans, Detroit, and Washington, D.C., there remains a gap in policy and advocacy that addresses its drivers and consequences. Anchored in critical race theory and sense of community theory, this study revealed the racialized impacts of student mobility, particularly on Black and “at-risk” students, and the policy mechanisms that facilitated their disproportionate movement. By integrating qualitative data from interviews and policy reviews, the research provided insights gleaned from the lived experiences of affected communities. The study’s contribution was the creation of an equity assessment tool, aimed at guiding policymakers in scrutinizing and disrupting racialized mobility patterns to foster antiracist, equity-focused educational policies. It emphasizes a systems-thinking approach to address mobility issues holistically across public charter and traditional schools. The implications extend to the broader education sector, advocating for race-conscious policies and context-specific policymaking. This study not only contributed to understanding mobility in Washington, D.C.’s unique education ecosystem but also provided afoundation for future research and policy interventions aimed at fostering stability and equity for all students.Keywords: choice, churn, critical race theory, equity assessment, neoliberalism, sense of community theory, student mobility

RAPID CRYOGENIC FIXATION OF BIOLOGICAL SPECIMENS FOR ELECTRON MICROSCOPY
Creators: name: RYAN, KEITH PATRICK
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1991

description: This thesis describes investigations into cryofixation by the plunge-cooling technique, at ambient pressure. The objective was to characterise coolants which are commonly used for cryofixation, so that the structure and chemistry of biological specimens may be preserved in a more life-like state. The work began with the design of a suitable cooling device. This was developed further into a large test-bed apparatus which was used in both biological and methodological experiments. The large cooling apparatus demonstrated for the first time that ethane was a superior coolant under forced convection, compared to propane or Freon 22, for bare thermocouples, for exposed hydrated specimens and for metal-sandwiched hydrated specimens. Ice crystal formation was monitored in sandwiched specimens and found to correspond closely to modelling predictions. A biological application was the X-ray microanalysis of body fluids in "indicator" species of Chaetognaths, where results obtained from cryoscanning electron microscopy revealed ecophysiological differences. The use of low thermal mass supports demonstrated that good freezing can occur in the centre of specimens. A new cryomounting method was developed to load well-frozen specimens into the microscope. The effect of post-freeze processing temperature was investigated by monitoring ice crystals in red blood cells. Exposure to 213 K (-60°C) over a 48 hour period did not induce crystal growth and exposure to 233 K (-40°C) for 8 days showed minimal ice crystal damage. The progress of cryosubstitution was monitored over 48 h at 193 K ( -80°C), this showed that uranium ingressed to a depth of 320 µm which could be doubled when shrinkage was allowed for. The conclusion was that observed ice crystal damage originated during the initial freezing and not during subsequent cryoprocessing.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Hypothesizing that larval herring hatched in shallow lagoons of the Baltic Sea develop in a quite different suite of coastal habitats than their counterparts in the neighboring North Sea, we sampled pelagic and littoral sites in a major spawning ground of Western Baltic spring spawning herring. Additionally we investigated the vertical distribution of larvae based on the hypotheses that in the well mixed waters of the lagoon early larval herring is distributed accordingly and not stratified as documented from the open ocean. The results of this study revealed an unexpected loop of habitat use where larvae moved from spawning grounds in shallow littoral habitats to pelagic areas during the first development stages but returned to this habitat in at later stages previous to metamorphosis. Vertical distribution of early larval herring was surprisingly distinct but varied with extension of the water column and larval body length. In general our results demonstrate a quite patterned habitat utilization of early herring life stages in calm, inshore systems. This study implicates that fishery assessment and management of fish resources should take into account potential ecological functions of littoral habitats and behavioral distribution mechanisms for dispersal and survival of larval fish.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Process-based understanding of changes in commercial fish spatial distributions, and to disentangle the role of natural drivers and various anthropogenic impacts, is a challenging research topic with high relevance to resource management. Especially in time of locally high recruitment, it is important to understand beforehand how the local recruitment is translated to stock recovery over the whole assessment area. In case of Baltic cod, there has been an increase in abundance in one of the Baltic basin (ICES Sub-division 25), resulting in density-dependent decrease of weight at length (Svedäng 2014). However, the specimen did apparently not migrate eastwards out of the basin in search for better feeding conditions.

description: Haptophytes are renowned for the most prominent and biogeochemically important group of marine calcifiers: coccolithophores. The unexpected discovery of a unique, silicifying member of this clade - Prymnesium neolepis - prompted questions regarding mechanisms of silicification and their origin in the calcifier-dominated haptophytes. To address these questions I used cell physiology, biochemistry and molecular approaches, investigating cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in silicification in haptophytes. Comparisons of this system with calcification in coccolithophores and other silica-based systems in eukaryotes were also made. Here I report that P. neolepis is an obligate silicifier, producing silica scales in a process fundamentally different to that observed in coccolithophores. Scale deposition and secretion in P. neolepis is localized in the posterior, vacuolar part of the cell rather than in the anterior part near the flagellar roots as in calcifying coccolithophores. The organic matrix underlying silica scales in P. neolepis was found to be non-homologous with organic scales, which in coccolithophores serve as coccolith baseplates. This suggests, that silica scales and coccoliths arise from two distinct, most likely non-homologous processes, which is further supported by the comparative investigation of the role of cytoskeleton in silica scale production in P. neolepis and coccolithogenesis in a representative calcifier, Coccolithus pelagicus. Using cytoskeleton inhibitors I established, that the cytoskeleton components used for morphogenesis and secretion of biomineralised structures are different in these two systems. Analysis of P. neolepis biosilica revealed the presence of an intimately associated organic fraction consisting of a putatively chitin-containing material, potentially serving as an organic matrix underlying silica scales. Further biochemical investigation of the biosilica-associated organics confirmed the presence of long chain polyamines (LCPAs) dissimilar to those previously reported in diatoms and sponges. Additionally, a potentially novel, proline and lysine-rich protein sharing a weak homology with lipocalins was recovered, suggesting that this silicification system is unique to haptophytes. Several theories concerning acquisition of the ability to silicify in haptophytes were proposed. Overall, the findings presented in this study provide a detailed description of Si biomineralisation system in this unique, silicifying haptophyte and supply novel information on biomineralisation systems in marine haptophytes. This study contributes a basis on which the phenomenon of silicification in haptophytes can be further investigated, as well as novel information which can be further used in elucidation of origins of silicification in algae and other Eucarya.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.We studied horizontal distribution of the Baltic sprat eggs and larvae in May and June in the Gotland Basin (Baltic Sea) in the 2004-2014. Distribution dynamics of the eggs at the different developmental stages displayed rather stable pattern over time in terms of its inter-annual abundance dynamics: greatest concentrations were found in the stations positioning in shallow areas near the southern border of Latvia and in less extent off Ventspils. Variation in the geographical centre of the distribution of ichthyoplankton during the development from the eggs on stage 1 to larvae was different during each ichthyoplankton survey. Distribution patterns and abundances of sprat eggs and larvae were coupled to the hydrological situation in the area and linked with the recruitment success of sprat.
