Ecological study of the effects of power plants on benthic macroplant microcosms in subtropical and tropical estuaries. Progress report, 1976--1977. [Effects of heavy metals and thermal effluents from fossil-fuel and nuclear power plants on benthic seagrass community]

Technical Report Thorhaug, A

The effect of two fossil fuel and two nuclear plants on a near-shore seagrass community was studied in South Biscayne Bay, Dade County, Florida, over the past four years. The focus of the study was to delineate the effects that a series of various pollutants have had on the dominant system of seagrass Thalassia testudinum and its related community. Data are included from studies on the effects of heavy metals, waste heat, and dredging activities, with emphasis on thermal pollution. In order to separate the perturbation of the specific pollutant from the natural fluctuations of the system, efforts were mademore »« less

Ecological study of the effects of power plants on benthic macroplant microcosms in subtropical and tropical estuaries. Annual progress report, 1975--1976. [Thalassia, Algae]

Technical Report Thorhaug, A

The major focus was to understand the function of the seagrass community and to relate this to the impact of energy related activities, most importantly, thermal effluent. In addition, the increased turbidity, current, siltation and heavy metals were factors at the Turkey Point site. We attempted to delineate the effect of heat in the laboratory to determine the upper thermal tolerance of the seagrass. This was shown to be quite close to the combined effect of all the pollutants in the field for Thalassia and the macroalgae. This would indicate that temperature is a very fundamental factor in the growthmore »« less
Catastrophic mortality of the seagrass 'Thalassia testudinum' in Florida Bay, January 1992. Final report, 1 Oct 90-31 Dec 91

Technical Report Durako, M J ; Carlson, P R ; Barber, T R ; ...

The study was conducted to (1) quantify the successional dynamics of seagrass beds experiencing active die-back, and (2) to determine the capacity of healthy and diseased Thalassia to avoid hypoxic stress and sulfide toxicity. A general trend towards recolonization, at the individual patch level was observed. However, basin level observation of frequency of occurrence, abundance, and density revealed that recovery of Thalassia in the most severely affected basin (Rankin Lake) was being outstripped by rapid recolonization of the pioneering species, Halodule wrightii. Measurements of oxygen transport rates through healthy and diseased shoots indicated that the higher porosity of sick shootsmore »« less
The toxicity of oil and chemically dispersed oil to the seagrass Thalassia testudinum

Journal Article Baca, B J ; Getter, C D - Am. Soc. Test. Mater., Spec. Tech. Publ.; (United States)

Turtle grass beds, a valuable natural resource, are diminishing throughout the tropics because of damage from dredging, boats, and other factors. The toxicity of chemical dispersants and crude oil to turtle grass was determined in the laboratory to assess the potential for damage from spills occurring in the field. Studies of water-soluble fractions (WSF) of crude oil in static bioassays showed that a chemical dispersant (Corexit 9527) increased the amount of total oil in water more than 50-fold. The toxicity of chemically dispersed oil was assessed by conventional (96-h 50% lethal concentration) methods in static systems, and the results weremore »« less
