    Notes: Lake sediments of the last 1000 years provide a unique record of environmental changes. Methods of dating this record are reviewed and discussed. Sediments of the last 20 years, which are of particular biological significance because of their record of man-made changes in lakes (including enrichment and pollution) have been dated successfully by the distribution within them of the fallout product 137Cs, present in the atmosphere since 1954 and reaching a peak of supply in 1963. The structured pattern shown by the curve for 137Cs concentration in most sediments investigated indicates that faunal mixing of the surface muds does not destroy the vertical stratification of the sediment profile.Sediments up to 120 years old have been dated by a lead isotope technique, and the results of this proved consistent with both 137Cs dating and with palaeomagnetic dating where this was possible.Theoretical considerations of the application of radiocarbon dating to organic material of 18th and 19th century date are reviewed.Results of application of these radionuclide techniques to the sediments of a small lake, Blelham Tarn, near Windermere, are presented. Evidence from 137Cs and 210Pb dating of profiles from several different positions within the lake shows that the depth of the annual increment to the sediments varies by a factor of × 2 from place to place. The concentration within the sediment of chemical and biological variables shows no significant variation from one position to another; therefore calculated values for amounts of each variable included within unit area of the annual increment depend primarily on the thickness of this at the site chosen, and so cannot be directly related to the rates of supply of, for example, pollen grains or total organic matter, and so to rates of productivity.Results from nine 14C dates on material 400–1000 years old, when correlated with analyses for pollen and sediment composition, demonstrate the profound effects of agricultural practices in the catchment (assumed to be deforestation and ploughing) in disturbing the orderly transfer to lake sediments of material eroded from the catchment.

    Notes: PGM3 activity was investigated in 150 ‘Boerbok’ goats and 132 Angora goats by means of horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. In ‘Boerbok’ goats no polymorphism was found. In Angora goats three different phenotypes have been recognized: F, S, and FS. The results suggest the occurrence of two common alleles: PGM3-F and PGM3-S at an autosomal locus with frequencies of 0.6176 and 0.3824, respectively.

    Notes: Following up our recent study of an indirect procedure for the practical determination of the maximum frequency-effect, defined as fe = 1 − pρ∞/ρdc with ρ∞ the resistivity at infinite frequency, we show at first how, through the Laplace transform theory, ρ∞ can be related to stationary field vectors in the simple form of Ohm's law. Then applying the equation of continuity for stationary currents with a suitable set of boundary conditions, we derive the integral expression of the apparent resistivity at infinite frequency ρ∞,a in the case of a horizontally layered earth. Finally, from the definition of the maximum apparent frequency-effect, analytical expressions of feα are obtained for both Schlumberger and dipole arrays placed on the surface of the multi-layered earth section in the most general situation of vertical changes in induced polarization together with dc resistivity variations not at the same interfaces. Direct interpretation procedures are suggested for obtaining the layering parameters directly from the analysis of the sounding curves.

    Notes: This is a study of the reproductive biology and morphology of the pituitary gland of the osteoglossid fish Scleropages formosus (Müller & Schlegel). The fish spawn in the Tasek Bera waterways of Pahang, Malaysia during the rainy season beginning in August. Young fish are incubated in the mouth of the male parent until free-swimming. Males mature in their 2+ year, when 30–45 cm in length. In mature specimens the testis is small, and little sperm is produced. Some females mature in their 2+ year, although at that time, most have only reached the stage of secondary oocyte production. The chorion and follicular granulosa of secondary oocytes are deeply invaginated into the cytoplasm. All fish spawn in their 3+ year, when 45–60 cm in length. The single ripe ovary contains 20–30 ova, each 1.9 cm in diameter. No fish of 4+ years were caught, which may be the result of mortality or emigration, or due to extraneous causes such as selectivity in the fishing techniques used.The pituitary gland accords with the generalized teleost pattern and embryonic development. There is no saccus vasculosus. Adrenocorticotropic cells predominate in the proadenohypophysis, and somatotropic and luteotropic cells occur here. The mesoadenohypophysis contains gonadotropic and somatotropic cells; the former grow large in ripe specimens, so that the mesoadenohypophysis becomes much enlarged. The metaadenohypophysis contains relatively few cells, much neurohypophyseal ramification, and is deeply penetrated by the third ventricle of the brain.

    Notes: The relative roles of waves and tidal currents in transporting bottom sediment on the continental shelf off Lands End, southwest England, are evaluated by study of (a) sediment grain size in relation to boundary layer measurements in tidal currents, (b) regional variation in sediment parameters in relation to peak tidal and wave-induced currents, and (c) visual observation of bedforms.(a) The sediments are mainly zoogenic sands. The average hydraulic equivalent median diameter is Mdφ=1.40φ (medium grade sand), and two-thirds of the median grain sizes fall between 0.97φ and 1.83φ. The linear bottom current which will just move this range of sizes is exceeded only slightly by the highest tidal drag velocities Ū* measured in the area. Thus, sediment movement by tidal currents alone is restricted to areas of high bed roughness and strong peak tidal flows. In contrast, wave-induced oscillatory currents at 100 m depth (typical of the area) attain sufficient speed to disturb the same particle sizes over 3% of the time. This includes storm periods when much greater velocities occur.(b) The average Mdφ of the sediment decreases southwest and northeast from south of the Lizard. This correlates well with the pattern of maximum tidal current speeds, suggesting that tidal currents control the areal distribution of sediment median grain size.Most sediments are well sorted (mean σi=0.48φ). Sorting improves at shallower depths but does not improve in areas of faster tidal currents, suggesting that wave-induced currents exert the major control on sorting.Silt and clay proportions increase west of the Scilly Isles and are influenced by both wave and tidal currents.(c) Photographs and television pictures show that symmetrical bedforms due to wave action are dominant north and west of the western Channel. Asymmetric bedforms are more common in the western Channel itself, where tidal currents and bed roughness are both high.Results are used to construct a sediment transport model for the study area. Since medium grade well sorted sands occur in depths of over 100 m, many ancient, extensive, well sorted sand sheets may have been deposited at depths greater than previously suspected.

    Notes: The reproductive cycle of Coregonus lavaretus (L.) in Loch Lomond, Scotland, was investigated by monthly sampling. Spawing takes place during the first 3 weeks of January, on offshore gravel banks. Males congregate on the spawning-grounds throughout the spawning period, while ripe females cruise in unisexual shoals in deeper water. Individual females migrate to the spawning-grounds as ovulation takes place, spawn, and return to deep water. After spawning, the gonadosomatic ratio and somatic condition factor of both sexes decrease until June or July. Gonad recrudescence occurs in males between July and October, and in females between July and December. The somatic condition factor of both sexes rises from its minimum in June or July to its maximum in September. A competitive protein binding assay was used to determine cortisol levels in 0–1 ml plasma samples of individual fish. The lowest cortisol levels occurred in fish caught by seine-netting and killed immediately by anaesthesia in MS 222 (Sandoz). Seine-netting and killing by concussion induced higher cortisol levels, in the range of 3–5 ng/100 ml. Cortisol levels in fish caught by gill-netting for 18 h were 3–6 times higher than in seine-netted fish, and the method of killing was immaterial in this case. The length of time spent in the gill-net had no significant effect on cortisol level, but maintenance of the fish in aquaria for 24–80 h elicited high cortisol levels of over 50 μg/100 ml. Post-mortem delay before blood-sampling resulted in lowered cortisol levels. Seasonal variations in cortisol level were determined in gill-netted fish throughout the year, and in seine-netted fish when available. Cortisol levels were high in both sexes in September; and very high in ovulating females caught on the spawning-grounds, though not in ovulating females caught off the spawning-grounds.

    Notes: Earlier studies indicated that the incorporation of shrimp (Pundulus jordani) in a fish-shrimp portion increased the shelf life of machine-separated fish muscle. This investigation was initiated to determine if shrimp could reduce the undesirable changes known to occur during frozen storage in one particular species of rockfish (Sebasfes melunops). After mixing different ratios of shrimp with minced fish muscle, the portions were frozen at — 34°C for 2 hr, packed loosely in polyethylene bags and held at —18°C until analyzed. The all-fish portion was found to be unacceptable after 11 wk of frozen storage. Increasing the amount of shrimp in the portion markedly improved the acceptability and shelf-life stability of the minced fish. This was directly related to the decreased formation of malonaldehyde and peroxides. The beneficial effects of incorporating shrimp with minced fish was attributed to substance(s) extractable in ethanol that exhibited antioxidant properties.

    Notes: 60 hams of approximately number 3 quality (Wisconsin Score) were divided into three groups of 20 hams each. Group 1 was unskinned, group 2 was normally skinned and group 3 was fully skinned. All hams were processed by standard dry-cure procedures and weighed at each processing step. 30 hams, including 10 from each group, were evaluated organoleptically and tested for peroxide values, salt content and moisture content, after 1 months’ aging and the remaining 30 after 3 months’ aging. The skinned hams had significantly higher skinning loss, shrinkage, salt content and shear values than the normally skinned or unskinned hams. The unskinned hams had the highest tenderness scores and lowest shear values and salt content. The normal skinned hams were scored highest for flavor. Overall eating satisfaction and rancidity values appeared to be unaffected by skinning.
