For barnacles that live gregariously, chemical cues from conspecifics are believed to induce settlement of cypris larvae. A new assay system, using nitrocellulose membranes, has been developed to study cyprid settlement in response to adsorbed proteins. Using this assay, water-soluble extracts from
Polymer gels are capable of undergoing large volume changes under the influence of solvent composition and temperature. Studies have been conducted on the effects of salinity and temperature on hydrolysed polyacrylamide gels. Three salinities were Ε½ . investigated from 5 parts per thousand ppt to 35
The condition index (CI) of the clam Rangia cun eata was measured monthly at 8 stations in 2 substrate types and 3 salinity regimes in the James River estuary, Virginia, USA. CI was higher in clams from sand bottoms than from mud, and decreased in both substrata in fresher water. Values were lowest
