The UF/IFAS mesocosm research facility allows researchers to grow hydrilla in a contained environment that controls for water temperature, water flow, light, and water quality in order to study plant reproduction and response to herbicides. UF/IFAS Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants in ...
The fall downstream migrations of juvenile American shad Alosa sapidissima and blueback herring Alosa aestivalis were monitored for 3 years in the Connecticut River at Holyoke Dam, Massachusetts. Decreasing water temperature—not increasing river flow—determined the time migration began and ended for...
Functional models for growth and food consumption of Atlantic salmon parr, Salmo salar, from a Norwegian river Herein, we examine the impact of summer temperature on abundance of Atlantic salmon parr in the Connecticut River. Specifically, we asked: (1) What are... T Forseth,MA Hurley,AJ Je...
This is also true at both ends of a flood chute, or the path a river takes across a meander at high water. Hydrology and Soil The ability of the soil to remove pollutants and nutrients from surface and ground water also depends upon the type of soil, its depth, and relation to the ...
heavy rains caused the Connecticut River to flood. Most of Hartford was underwater, and power was out for days. Then, two years later, in September 1938, a major hurricane devastated most of the state. The Connecticut River flooded Hartford and other towns on its shores. Downed power lines...
(2017) asserted that the bear population is “effectively bounded by urbanization along the Connecticut River,” but may recolonize southeastern Connecticut in the future (Evans, p. 18). The DEEP asserts that rising rates of HBC in Connecticut are not due to habitat loss, but rather attraction...
The average temperature of the coldest month, January, in Bridgeport, Connecticut’s largest city, located on the southwest coast, varies from -5°C to 3°C, and July – from 19°C to 25°C. In the capital city of Connecticut, Hartford, located in the central part of the state, in ...
West Haven, city, coextensive with the town (township) of West Haven, New Haven county, southwestern Connecticut, U.S. It lies on New Haven Harbor and across the West River from New Haven. Early settlement began in the 1640s, when the area was called Wes
Females only spawned when three spawning-‐suitability windows were simultaneously open: (1) day length = 13.914.9 h (27 April–22 May), (2) mean daily water temperature = 6.5–15.9 °C, and (3) mean daily river discharge = 121–901 m3 s-1 and day length was the major factor ...
altitude of drainage-areas.While there are numerous precipitation-stations in and near the Connecticut River Basin, only two of these are at elevations exceeding 2,000 feet, whereas the river-basin often reaches 2,500 to 5,500 feet elevation, and over 6,000 feet in the White Mountain Region...
