Show moreThe Foundation is organized primarily for research in the marine sciences and for the development of oceanographic tools and systems for undersea research. The following excerpts from the Articles of Incorporation outline our Harbor Branch Foundation programs. 1. Accumulating and computerizing knowledge in the field of oceanology, particularly as it applies to the effects of pollution. 2. Sponsoring and engaging in scientific research and development for the purpose of making inventories and observing the behavior of marine plants and animals through various stages of their life cycles in unpolluted and polluted waters. 3. Developing new engineering tools and improved safety equipment for marine and oceanographic research and operating laboratories for the furtherance of such research. 4. Developing methods for changing the character of pollution, by eliminating the harmful effects and by utilizin'g the nutrients and beneficial effects. 5. Sponsoring and engaging in underwater archaeology projects through the use of new engineering tools and methods. 6. Preparing and distributing publications, research materials, lectures and seminars which serve to disseminate knowledge of marine plants and animals and ocean engineering research and development. This booklet describes some of the interesting features of the principal tasks and projects we have currently undertaken. - J. S. Johnson, President

- CO 2 SCRUBBER DESIGN ANALYSIS FOR A MINI-SUBMARINE.
- Creator
- Wang, Tsen C., Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute
- Abstract/Description
-
The efficiency of CO2 scrubber performance is a function of temperature, pressure, gas mixture and density, co2 concentration and humidity in the gas stream, and scrubber design such as canister geometry, flow path, flow rate, resident time, absorbent packing methods, and the type of absorbent, etc. This paper describes the procedures to design the co2 canister volume, and minimum scrubbing rate for a CO2 scrubber in a submersible operation.

- Health evaluation of African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) in southern Africa.

- Abstract/Description

The African penguin (Spheniscus demersus) is an endangered seabird that breeds along the coast of Namibia and South Africa, and disease surveillance was identified as a priority for its conservation. Aiming for the establishment of baseline data on the presence of potential pathogens in this species, a comprehensive health assessment (blood smear examination, haematology, biochemistry and serology) was conducted on samples obtained from 578 African penguins at 11 breeding colonies and a...
Show moreThe African penguin (Spheniscus demersus) is an endangered seabird that breeds along the coast of Namibia and South Africa, and disease surveillance was identified as a priority for its conservation. Aiming for the establishment of baseline data on the presence of potential pathogens in this species, a comprehensive health assessment (blood smear examination, haematology, biochemistry and serology) was conducted on samples obtained from 578 African penguins at 11 breeding colonies and a rehabilitation centre. There were 68 penguins that were seropositive for at least one of seven pathogens tested: avian encephalomyelitis virus, avian infectious bronchitis virus, avian reovirus, infectious bursal disease virus, Newcastle disease virus, Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae. All samples were seronegative for avian influenza virus subtypes H5 and H7 and infectious laryngotracheitis virus. The apparent prevalence of Babesia sp. and Borrelia sp. in blood smears was consistent with previous studies. Babesia-infected individuals had a regenerative response of the erythrocytic lineage, an active inflammatory response and hepatic function impairment. These findings indicate that African penguins may be exposed to conservation-significant pathogens in the wild and encourage further studies aiming for the direct detection and/or isolation of these microorganisms.

- Eastern Caribbean Circulation and Island Mass Effect on St. Croix, US Virgin Islands: A Mechanism for Relatively Consistent Recruitment Patterns.
- Creator

- Abstract/Description

The northeastern Caribbean Sea is under the seasonal influence of the Trade Winds but also of the Orinoco/Amazon freshwater plume. The latter is responsible for intensification of the Caribbean Current in general and of its eddy activity in the northern part of the Caribbean Sea. More importantly, we show in this study that the front of the freshwater plume drives a northward flow that impinges directly on the island of St. Croix in the United States Virgin Islands.

Show moreThe northeastern Caribbean Sea is under the seasonal influence of the Trade Winds but also of the Orinoco/Amazon freshwater plume. The latter is responsible for intensification of the Caribbean Current in general and of its eddy activity in the northern part of the Caribbean Sea. More importantly, we show in this study that the front of the freshwater plume drives a northward flow that impinges directly on the island of St. Croix in the United States Virgin Islands. The angle of incidence of the incoming flow controls the nature of the wake on both sides and ends of the island, which changes from cyclonic to anticylonic wake flow, with either attached or shed eddies. Using an off-line bio-physical model, we simulated the dispersal and recruitment of an abundant Caribbean coral reef fish, the bluehead wrasse (Thalassoma bifasciatum) in the context of the wake flow variability around St. Croix. Our results revealed the role played by the consistent seasonal forcing of the wake flow on the recruitment patterns around the island at the interannual scale. The interannual variability of the timing of arrival and northward penetration of the plume instead controls the nature of the wake, hence the regional spatial recruitment patterns.
