    Description: The European grayling, Thymallus thymallus, is a highly under-rated freshwater fish, particularly in the United Kingdom. As such, little scientific research has been conducted on its biology, ecology or specific management plans, in comparison to the related species, salmon, Salmo salar L. and brown trout, Salm.o trutta trutta L. or the nearest relative to T. thymallus, the Arctic grayling, Thymallus arcticus (Walbaum), whose life history has been well documented in view of its high ranking by anglers, as a game fish. However, the importance of sound scientific research cannot be over stressed for this species, which can potentially provide an excellent fishery and source of income in salmonid depauparate rivers. The aim of this report therefore, is to review all available information on the biology, ecology and management of the European grayling, T. thymallus, incorporating findings for T. arcticus to bridge subjects where the literature is scarce, and propose management strategies for T. thymallus in the United Kingdom, bridge subjects where the literature is scarce, and propose management strategies for T. thymallus in the UK.

    Notes: We have conducted a detailed study of the thermal stability of Bragg gratings written in hydrogen-loaded and unloaded germanium-doped optical fiber. Interference of either continuous-wave or pulsed ultraviolet light was used to induce the index modulation gratings. Some gratings were kept at room temperature and others were annealed at fixed temperatures for 10–20 h. For temperatures between room temperature and 350 °C, gratings in the hydrogen-loaded fiber showed significantly greater decay than those in the unloaded counterpart. The ultraviolet-induced index modulation in hydrogen-loaded fiber was reduced by 40% after 10 h at 176 °C, whereas it was reduced by only 5% in unloaded fiber under the same conditions. The annealing behavior of gratings written using the pulsed source was identical to that of gratings written with the continuous-wave source, and the thermal stability of gratings in hydrogen-loaded fiber did not depend on the magnitude of the index modulation. We also observed that the annealing of ultraviolet-induced OH absorption in the hydrogen-loaded fiber was not correlated with the grating decay. Our annealing results show that the species responsible for the index change in the hydrogen-loaded fiber are less stable than those in the unloaded fiber. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We present a general theory that describes the operation of scanning force microscopy in the contact force regime. We find that force derivatives along the surface of a sample produce images that can be dramatically enhanced relative to those of surface topography. For scanning tunneling microscopy atomic force microscopy (STM/AFM) and AFM configurations, the spring constant of the cantilever and the force derivatives perpendicular to the surface of the sample determine the enhancement, respectively.

    Notes: Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) of quantum well structures can give an independent method of measuring superlattice spacing and uniformity without having to resort to more involved techniques requiring intricate sample preparation. We present the first AFM images of cleaved InGaAs/InP multiple quantum wells and compare them with STM images taken of the same heterostructure. The images were stable in air for over a day. Based on our results, we propose that the mechanism for contrast in our images is due to an oxide layer that grows primarily on the InGaAs wells and not on the InP barriers. Both STM and AFM clearly resolve the individual wells of the heterostructure, although STM measured a larger corrugation than an AFM. STM also exhibited superior lateral resolution of about 2 nm while AFM had a lateral resolution of approximately 6 nm.

    Notes: Accurate ultraviolet absorption measurements are reported in telecommunication single-mode optical fibers in the range from 280 to 600 nm (4.4–2.1 eV) using a cutback method. An absorption peak at 325 nm (3.8 eV) and an absorption edge near 290 nm (4.3 eV) are attributed to features seen in preform spectra. We suggest that fiber and preform absorption spectra are generally the same and do not find that there is any dependence in the absorption on the fiber dimensions. The effects of preparation for second harmonic generation on fiber absorption are also discussed.

    Notes: The dominant fatty acids in all neutral lipid fractions of non-water hardened eggs from two wild and one cultured stock of striped bass Morone saxatilis were the monoenes, 18 : 1n9/n7〉16 : 1n7〉17 : 1. The dominant fatty acids in the phospholipid fraction of all eggs, regardless of origin, were 22 : 6n3〉18 : 1n9/n7〉20 : 5n3〉16 : 1n7〉16 : 0〉18 : 0. Arachadonic acid (AA, 20 : 4n6) was significantly lower (2·0%) in cultured fish eggs compared to either wild stock (5·8–6·1%). Fatty acids from the liver and eggs of wild Shubenacadie fish were similar to one another with respect to both neutral and phospholipid fractions. However, the AA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20 : 5n3) content of the phospholipid fraction varied according to the hypothesized migration behaviour of Shubenacadie fish. The total lipid content of wild fish eggs was significantly greater than that of cultured fish. The total phospholipid content of Shubenacadie eggs was significantly higher than either Roanoke or cultured fish eggs. Phosphotidylinositol (PI) was the dominant phospholipid found ins all egg samples from all origins as opposed to phosphotidylcholine, which is usually the dominant phospholipid. These data indicate that PI and AA may have important and as yet unidentified roles in fertilization and embryonic development in these fish.

    Notes: 1. Natural variation in environmental parameters, as well as practical constraints in study design and sampling methodology, often pose difficulties in treating impact assessments in river catchments as controlled field experiments. It is frequently impossible to develop robust relationships between reference and test stations prior to the onset of an impact and the range of statistical tools which can be adopted in data analysis to detect a change or disturbance is limited.2. In an attempt to overcome these problems we introduce a novel disturbance index to assess the impact of landuse activities on river systems. The index identifies differences in hydrochemical parameters and macroinvertebrate community metrics between reference and test stations (at a set level of significance). This approach allows for objective assessment of the occurrence and direction of change as well as the duration of an impact. The disturbance index can be applied at different scales – for a single stream, a catchment or a region.3. In this paper we describe the derivation of the index and illustrate its utility through worked examples. We use the index to assess impact of clearfelling on hydrochemical parameters such as hydrogen ion concentration, total hardness, suspended solids, conductivity and nitrate concentration as well as on macroinvertebrate parameters including abundance, richness, reciprocal of Simpson's diversity index, evenness, Ephemeroptera/Plecoptera/Trichoptera (EPT) richness and percentage of EPT taxa.4. The sensitivity of the disturbance index changes with scale of application however, and the clearfelling (CF) index has proven sensitive to the detection of even quite small changes, although in these cases ecological significance should be considered. We show that the CF index, particularly when derived from a regional scale, is a conservative index but is very robust to variation in the number of samples used in its derivation. The application of the index corresponded very well with the application of more standard statistical approaches. We believe that the index can thus be applied to other impact studies with similar project design.

    Notes: Abstract. The influence of temperature on growth of European eels, Anguilla anguilla L., of various body sizes was studied. The mean weight of small eels (SE) (0·6g body weight) maintained at 23°C was significantly lower than that of SE maintained at 25°C or 27°C. No significant differences were found at the end of the experimental period between SE maintained at 25 and 27°C. Similar results were obtained among the moderate-size eels (ME) (l·5gbody weight). However, the average weight increase maintained at 25°C was significantly higher than that of large eels (LE) (3·25g body weight) maintained at 23 or 27°C. It seems that the optimum growth temperature for European eels is different at various stages in their growth and development.
