Extractions: Kathleen Sayce lives in a 19th century house near the peninsula village of Nahcotta, one built by Swedish pioneers and later renovated by her stepgrandfather and grandmother. Her book-lined living room's windows look onto Willapa Bay, which is to say her laboratory. Sayce is an unusual sort of biologist, one who picked a subject and a place before she picked a job. Her choice, however was biased in that she was raised in Nahcotta following her father's work in marine biology. In 1992, Sayce began performing an exercise called plankton tows, a simple way of sampling the amount of plankton present in the bay at any one time. Plankton are tiny plants and animals that are the foundation of all ocean life, the first and vast floor of the food chain. Phytoplankton are to the marine world what grass is to the prairie, the way the ocean harnesses the sun's power to support life. Oddly, no one had bothered to routinely census plankton before in Willapa Bay, which is a bit like a rancher who never inventoried his grass. "Microbiology rules the world, but we know almost nothing about microbiology," says Sayce. Her five year's worth of data show that plankton levels are anything but stable. They fluctuate greatly both year to year and week to week during the summer peak of productivity. This is not an idle question for salmon production. Sayce began her work after being prodded by the example of Bruce Suzumoto, who studied plankton in Alaska's Prince William Sound. He found that by timing release of young pink salmon to coincide with zooplankton peaks, hatcheries greatly increased the survival of the pinks.

Extractions: Home Springs Anatomy Life in a Spring SELECT A CATEGORY: Fish Reptiles and Amphibians Birds and Mammals Insects and Invertebrates Plants Florida's clear spring waters provide a natural aquarium for many of the state's most common as well as most unique fish species. Some, like the American Mullet, migrate to the springs from the ocean. Others, like the White and Brown Bullhead Catfish, live in the dark recesses of the springs' underwater caves emerging only at night to feed. COMMON NAME: Florida Gar SCIENTIFIC NAME: Lepisosteus platrhynchus Prehistoric in appearance, yet timid in their behavior, the Florida Gar is one of the most distinctive and easily recognizable underwater inhabitants of Florida's springs. They are most often found congregating in schools in the protective shadows of spring-side vegetation rather than cruising in open water like their relative the Longnose Gar. enlarge COMMON NAME: Bowfin SCIENTIFIC NAME: Amia calva Like the prehistoric Gar, the Bowfin is the sole surviving member of a nearly extinct group of fishes. The Bowfin is found throughout North America in rivers, lakes, and springs east of the Mississippi. It is easily distinguished by its flattened head, long, stout body, long dorsal fin that extends along the back from head to tail. enlarge COMMON NAME: Largemouth Bass SCIENTIFIC NAME: Mircopterus salmoides floridanus Due to their reputation as one of North America's most sought-after game fish, Largemouth Bass are one of the most recognizable inhabitants of the springs and spring-run rivers. They can be found patrolling the spring run and hiding under overhanging vegetation at the spring's edge.

Extractions: Ocean Art Activities Aquarium - Cut the centers out of two paper plates. Fasten them together at the edges. Make seaweed out of tissue paper and attach it at the bottom of the cut out center. Glue sea creatures to this seaweed. Cover the cut out centers with clear plastic wrap or blue cellophane. Hang it from the ceiling or display on a bulletin board. A Puppet Story - Have students draw and color pictures of fish, rocks, seaweed or any other object that might be in the ocean. Cut the pictures out and glue them to craft sticks to create hand puppets. Students can use the puppets to retell the stories or make up their own story to tell. Sea Mobile - Have students work in groups to draw and color pictures of sea animals that live in each zone of the ocean. Cut the pictures out and glue to heavy construction paper. Punch holes and tie them to a clothes hanger to make the mobile. Display them around the room and have students identify the area of the ocean represented. Saltwater Paintings - Mix one fourth cup of warm water with six teaspoons of salt and 3 drops of food coloring in a small container. Mix well. Have students paint ocean pictures with the mixture on white paper. Let dry. The water evaporates but the colored salt remains, creating beautiful pictures. This is a good chance to discuss evaporation with students. What evaporates and what didn't? Aquatic Mural - On a long sheet of butcher paper have students draw their favorite fish or cut out fish shapes to glue onto the paper. Add a sandy bottom some seaweed and you have an ocean scene to display. This is especially good to use with

Extractions: Don will tag a variety of these pelagic fish with the PAT tags. These tags collect data on the depth and water temperature the fish occupies, and uses light data to estimate the daily the location of the fish based on day length and time of sunrise and sunset. This fleet of tagged fish will carry these tags for preset attachment times ranging from 3 to 6 months. Once a tag reaches the limits of its attachment time, it will detach from the fish, float to the surface, and transmit its data via satellite to the NOAA Fisheries Honolulu Laboratory. The team believes these data will document a range of behaviors. Some of these fish may regularly dive to great depth, perhaps below 3,000 ft, while others may rarely go below 300 ft. Likewise, some may travel across the Pacific while other may stay close to Hawaii. These data will help the team describe the different foraging strategies exploited by various top predators.

Extractions: 1. How deep do bioluminescent creatures live underwater? Captain Nelson answers: Most of the common occurrences of bioluminescence in the ocean are observed right at the surface or in the surface layers (several meters to tens of meters, within the euphotic zone). In its most familiar form, bioluminescence, which is a biochemical reaction in certain marine organisms, appears as a bluish-green fluorescent glow in the water as the surface is disturbed by the bow wave or wake from a ship or by cresting or breaking waves. Bioluminescence is quite often observed on a ship itself, as most ships are equipped with a salt-water system for flushing toilets. If a toilet is flushed in a dark bathroom (called a "head" on ships) the toilet bowl will often glow because of the bioluminescent microscopic organisms in the sea water used for flushing. Bioluminescent displays may occasionally take on more spectacular forms, such as appearing as parallel lines or like spiraling spokes of wheels, of pulsating light that extend to the horizon. In the surface layers of the ocean, the group of single-celled marine organisms called dinoflagellates (including one microscopic organism called noctiluca) are likely one of the primary sources of the bioluminescence observed in the ocean. However, a variety of other, larger marine organisms, that inhabit the abyssal depths of the oceans also display bioluminescent characteristics. Within the deep-scattering layer (mid-ocean depths between 200 and 1000 meters) certain species of myctophids, lantern fish, euphausids (shrimp-like crustaceans), and jellyfish all display certain forms of bioluminescence. Even in depths exceeding the average depths of the world's ocean basins (~ 4000 meters), bioluminescent organimsms have been collected and observed in such situations.
