| Notes | This M.S. thesis describes laboratory simulations of typical summer oceanographic conditions at Yaquina Bay and Moolack Beach, two nursery habitats used by juvenile English sole and Dungeness crab. Simulations explored effects of temperature and dissolved oxygen levels on the two species, particularly as related to upwelling-driven hypoxia. Young English sole were more resilient and were able to handle lower oxygen levels than Dungeness crabs. The author also describes an exhibit explaining hypoxia to the general public at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon. Major professor was Lorenzo Ciannelli. |
