ASFA 1: Biological
Sciences and Living Resources
For scientists involved in
the cooperative management of the world's living aquatic
resources, ASFA 1 provides extensive coverage of basic
and applied research on aquatic organisms. All aspects
of marine, freshwater, and brackish water organisms and
environments are examined, including information on
biology and ecology of aquatic organisms, exploitation
of living resources, and related legal, policy, and
socioeconomic issues. Since natural resources are an
important feature of ASFA 1, fisheries receive
particular attention, with comprehensive sections that
put scientists and managers in touch with the latest
fishing methods, statistics, aquaculture, food
technology, productivity, conservation, and marketing.
Abstracts cover laboratory studies of aquatic organisms
as well as research in the field. All types of source
documents dealing with aquatic organisms and issues that
affect their environment are surveyed. And the journal's
hierarchic subject classification, with multiple
indexes, makes it easy to locate specific information.
ASFA 1 represents an indispensable resource for
researchers, administrators, policy makers, and
librarians whose work is involved with the science,
technology, and management of marine, brackish water,
and freshwater environments and organisms.

Abstract
During RV Meteor cruise No. 10 from May to June
1989 (JGOFS pilot study) bacterial and
picocyanobacterial abundance, biomass, and
bacterial production were estimated at two drift
stations close to 47N, 20W and 58N, 20W in the
northeast Atlantic. At 47N two different mesoscale
hydrographic structures were sampled which divided
the drift experiment into a cyclonic and an
anticyclonic circulation phase. Transition from
one phase to the next was clearly reflected by
changes of the biological structure in the upper
water column. The results suggest that within a
specific type of hydrographic structure either a
heterotrophic or an autotrophic system can be
established, depending on the stage of bloom
development. In conclusion: Depending on their
origin and age, mesoscale hydrographic structures
can be correlated with different stages of
biological development. This leads to the
mesoscale patchiness of biological measurements,
which is a characteristic feature of the northeast
Atlantic. |
