Fish Study May Help Bays

Laptop Battery Many marine scientists think extremely low levels of oxygen in Delaware's Inland Bays cause fish kills. But a new study by the University of Delaware indicates that even at nonlethal levels, a shortage of oxygen in the water changes the way fish behave, how they feed and how rapidly young fish grow.

What type of computers can we back up, because in a medium to a large sized, even some small sized businesses, who knows what kind of computers they have They may have laptops, they may have desktops, they may just have anything and everything

Thinkpad Scientists and advocates for Delaware's Inland Bays say the findings could lead to a deeper understanding of the relationship between water pollutants, oxygen levels in the water and the health and behavior of fish.

Laptop Computers The work being done by Timothy Targett, a professor of marine biology-biochemistry at UD's College of Marine Studies in Lewes, and students "is something that is pretty important," said Bruce Richards, executive director of the Center for the Inland Bays. "I think this is going to have a major impact."

Laptop Computer Targett and his students have been studying two species of fish that are economically important in Delaware waters: summer flounder and weakfish.

Desktop Computer They found that when dissolved oxygen in the water drops to certain low levels, young fish don't grow as fast as they normally would. This puts them at a disadvantage in the first year of life as they struggle for survival in a sea full of predators.

Notebooks Newborn fish often grow at rapid rates. A summer flounder can grow to 6 to 8 inches long in that first season on a diet of worms and tiny shrimp, he said.

Lenovo "They are trying to grow as fast as possible to outstrip predators," he said. When oxygen levels fall, that rapid growth can be cut in half.

Hard Drive Other studies under way

Travelstar The UD study is similar to a concurrent study at North Carolina State University conducted by James A. Rice, a professor and extension fisheries specialist, looking at the impact of oxygen levels on spot and menhaden.

Gateway As lab and field work progress on the studies, Kenneth Rose, an associate professor at Louisiana State University's Sciences and Coastal Fisheries Institute, is developing a model that can be used to predict how fish will behave at various oxygen levels.

Laptop Parts Targett said fisheries managers can use the model to monitor fish health. He said the next step in the work could be significant.

Software Targett said he wants to work with environmental engineers at UD to connect fishery and environmental data in a way that could eventually be used to guide water quality decisions by government regulators deciding how much pollution is to be allowed for each watershed in Delaware.

Hard Drives Rehoboth, Indian River and Little Assawoman bays in Delaware have been plagued by environmental problems for more than three decades. Among the problems are runoff of nitrogen and phosphorus from farms and developments, pollution from failing septic systems, discharges from sewage-treatment plants and untreated runoff from rapid residential growth in the coastal areas surrounding the bays.

Electronics High levels of nitrogen and phosphorus set off a chain of events that leads to rapid plant growth in the bays. The plants decompose and the process uses up oxygen in the water. That can lead to fish kills.

Canon For fish, low oxygen is like "a person caught in a house fire, Richards said. "They panic, they can't breathe and then they die."

Desktop Pc During the summer of 2000, more than 5 million fish - most of them small menhaden - died in 11 incidents off Rehoboth and Indian River bays.

Desktop Computers "It's a symptom of a sick system," said Kent Price, a retired UD fish scientist.

Think Pad Cause of kills unclear

Repair The precise cause of fish kills is in dispute. Some scientists think toxic microorganisms thrive in waters that are rich in nitrogen and phosphorus. Others think low oxygen levels put fish under such stress they are more vulnerable when toxic blooms of microbes occur, Richards said.

Data Recovery For the UD study, Targett and his students set up a series of aquariums in a lab to monitor fish feeding and growth. They used computers to regulate oxygen levels.

Cisco In the Inland Bays, oxygen levels fluctuate during the summer. The lowest levels during the summer are just before dawn. Oxygen levels then peak at midday, as aquatic plants photosynthesize and produce oxygen in sunlight.

Keyboard Targett said he tried to mimic those conditions in the lab. Over a 24-hour cycle, he used computers to make oxygen levels rise and fall just as they would in the Inland Bays.

Monitor In the lab, fish growth started to decline when oxygen levels dropped below 5 milligrams per liter. Other tanks equipped with partitions allow scientists to have a low oxygen area and a higher oxygen area. The tanks were surrounded with black plastic and mounted with video cameras to observe what fish would do when oxygen levels started to fall.

Desktop Summer flounder weren't as active when oxygen levels started to fall, Targett said. A bottom feeder, the fish typically stayed where they were. But as oxygen levels reached very low levels, they moved to water with more oxygen.
