“…Since winter flounder is a batch spawner (Stoner et al 1999), individuals may make this circuit many times. This view is supported by the distribution of eggs and larvae (Crawford and Carey 1985;Hughes 1999) and by studies of the movements of individual fish with sonic tags (Jose Pereira, National Marine Fisheries Service, Milford Laboratory, personal communication). The analysis of microsatellite loci in winter flounder larva collected from Narragansett Bay revealed that a small percentage (7.5%) was not in HWE.…”

The genetic population structure of winter flounder larvae was examined in Narragansett Bay, RI. Winter flounder larvae collected from 20 stations within Narragansett Bay and one station outside of the Bay were analyzed for six microsatellite loci. When analyzed by geographic collection sites, there were 16 distinct genetic populations of winter flounder larvae (R ST values from 0.1 to 0.6). The presence of distinct genetic populations was supported by assignment of individual larvae to populations by Bayesian analysis. Bayesian analysis resulted in 14 distinct genetic populations that overlapped with the geographically distributed populations (R ST values from 0.1 to 0.6). Young-of-the-year juveniles collected in the same year as the larvae were also analyzed at the same six microsatellite loci. Juveniles were assigned to larvae populations by both a Bayesian approach and a neural network approach. Juveniles collected from within Narragansett Bay were found to arise from geographically adjacent Narragansett Bay winter flounder larval populations (>99%), suggesting no widespread movement of juveniles away from spawning grounds. These results are discussed in the context of winter flounder population biology in Narragansett Bay, RI.

“…The histological and biochemical alterations observed suggest fry are stressed by contaminant exposure. Hughes (1999) reported that cytological and cytogenetic impacts to winter flounder embryos from locations oiled by the North Cape spill of Number 2 fuel oil were sufficient to cumulatively decrease embryo survival by 51%. Roy et al (1999) demonstrated that mutations in "hotspots" of the oncogene K-ras could be induced by crude oil.…”

Papers reviewed herein are limited to the biological, chemical and physical effects of environmental disturbance, natural, and anthropogenic, on marine and estuarine plants and animals. The world wide literature is reviewed including textbooks, conference proceedings and reviews. A special feature is a tabular listing of the body burden of inorganic and organic contaminants in plants and animals. The effects of pollutants on individual species and communities are included. Changes at the cellular and subcellular level as caused by contaminants are reviewed. GENERAL Books and reviews on the different aspects of marine and estuarine pollution continued to appear during 1998-1999. A new series on current topics in ecotoxicology and environmental chemistry was initiated. The first volume was edited by Forbes (1998) and dealt with genetics and ecotoxicology. The role of genetics in understanding if and how chemical contaminants affect organisms and populations was stressed. The current status of the effects of pesticides on 15 tropical countries was summarized as a practical guide (Klaine, 1999). Guest editors Stebbing et al. (1998) assembled a series of studies on the integration of the interaction of rivers, estuaries, ocean and land in the United Kingdom with emphasis on the Humber Estuary. The reports emphasized three aspects: (1) to estimate the fluxes of sediment, nutrients and contaminants into and out of the coastal zone by rivers, coasts, ground water and atmosphere, (2) to determine the key physical and biogeochemical processes that govern coastal ecosystems, and (3) to describe the evolution of the coastal system from the geological past to the present using the Humber Estuary as a case study.
