[SEMCO] "Oceans Alive" Lecture: Shellfish and Nitrogen

[Sheri DeRosa]

WHOI Sea Grant "Oceans Alive" Lecture:
Shellfish and Nitrogen: A Balancing Act?

Tuesday, May 18, 7:00 p.m.
Redfield Auditorium, Water Street, Woods Hole

Increasing inputs of land-derived nitrogen have degraded estuarine 
water quality, potentially changing estuarine features that are 
important to commercially harvested shellfish. Ruth Carmichael, 
a Boston University Marine Program biologist, will describe her 
research on the topic, comparing growth, survival, and physiological 
responses of different shellfish across estuaries receiving different 
nitrogen loads. Her study has implications for the ecology and stock 
management of shellfish.

Admission is free. Light refreshments will be provided.
