EPISODES of coral bleaching resulting from dissociation of endosymbiotic algae
(zooxanthellae) from host coral tissues have occurred with increasing frequency over the …

The ocean has for all time been the ultimate sink for water-borne waste products coming
from the land. Rivers and small creeks have always carried silt into the ocean and since the …

IT is thought that the sensitivity of mammalian hearing depends on amplification of the
incoming sound within the cochlea by a select population of sensory cells, the outer hair …

Growth rates, accumulation dynamics, and species succession of periphytic diatom
communities were examined in the presence and absence of natural ultraviolet (UV) …

The problem of trying to determine the effect of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) on aquatic
organisms is much more difficult than that of assessing the impact of UVR on terrestrial …

Paired flat plates of the hermatypic coral Montipora verrucosa from Kaneohe Bay, Oahu,
Hawaii, were acclimated to photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) only and to full sunlight …

Ambient intensities of solar ultraviolet radiation inhibit photosynthesis in the upper layers of
the oceans. In this study the effect of ultraviolet-B radiation (UVBR)(290–320 nm) on marine …

Adaptation of solitary corals, Fungia repanda and F. echinata, and their zooxanthellae to low
light and ultraviolet light B (UV-B) was studied with respect to changes in their protein …

We have developed a vertical‐flux model of undersea irradiance (300–500 nm) using
measured absorption, scattering, midday spectral irradiance, and midday vertical …

Spectral irradiance was measured from 300 to 850 nm under clear and overcast skies in
Saanich Inlet and Trevor Channel (Vancouver Island) using an underwater …
