Gametophytes of E. radiata (C.Ag.)J.Ag. grew in culture at 15 degree C under daily quantum doses ranging from 0.86 to 360 cE m super(-2). Growth rates increased with quantum doses up to 40 cE m super(-2) d super(-1), then reproduction began and the relative growth constant declined while ovum releas...

Interviews with government staff responsible for fisheries management in Maluku, Indonesia in 1997-98 revealed problems in capacity, and an emphasis on economic development rather than management. The traditional institutions which persisted in some villages to regulate the access and withdrawal rig...

Since the first sublittoral survey off Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia in 1965--66 there has been a cycle of dominance by herbivorous sea urchins followed by mortality of these animals because of disease in 1981 and regrowth of algae.

Growing and cast leaves of Zostera marina were sampled from May through December and in February in two embayments of the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence to determine the species composition and temporal pattern of macroalgal epiphytes. Thirty-eight species were identified. Some occurred sporadically ...

Jurisdiction relates to the competence to pass laws, build effective administrative processes, facilitate inward capital flows, encourage education, & support the development of a climate conducive to economic growth. This paper argues that jurisdictional capacity provides the foundation for an ...

The morphogenetic responses to temperature and photoperiod of plants from Nova Scotia, Canada belonging to the Scytosiphon lomentaria complex were evaluated. Formation of erect thalli by clonal isolates of S. lomentaria var. complanatus was controlled by temperature, and independent of daylength.
