ABSTRACT A flow-through experimental system was designed to simulate habitat conditions encountered by American lobsters (Homarus americanus) during an eutrophication-driven mass mortality in the Long Island Sound during 1999. Seawater for the system was chemically conditioned through gas exchange and the addition of inorganic salts, resulting in simultaneous control of multiple environmental variables including: temperature ([+ or -] 0.5[degrees]C), dissolved oxygen ([+ or -] 0.3 ...

Gas exchange rates in the Parker River estuary, Massachusetts.
The Biological Bulletin ; Gas exchange rates between natural waters and the atmosphere are an important component of our understanding of the dynamics of biologically active gases. For example, estimates of whole system metabolism must account for the transfer of gas ([O.sub.2]) between the atmosphere and water. Previous
