Processing Fluorescence Spectra for Pollutants Detection Systems in Inland Waters

Improved Atmospheric Correction for Aviris Spectra from Inland Waters

As part of an ongoing investigation of primary productivity in Mono Lake, a series of surveys were conducted at the lake coincident with AVIRIS acquisitions. These included sampling and spectroradiometric measurements with locations precisely georeferenced to AVIRIS pixel coordinates. Spectra were extracted from the AVIRIS images for the purpose of deriving predictive equations for calculation ...

Trends in World Yields for Inland Waters

Fluctuating Fisheries in Africa's Inland Waters: Well

This paper evaluates evidence that fish stocks in Africa's inland waters are climate-driven and cannot be stabilized by conventional fisheries management measures. We draw on published material and our own recent and on-going research in Lake Chad and the East African Great Lakes area to propose that fisherfolk's livelihood strategies are well adapted to both seasonal and inter-annual climate-i...

Reflectance Models for Quantifying Chlorophyll in Inland Waters

To develop the models for chlorophyll (CHL) estimation, the nature of a peak near 700 nm on the reflectance spectrum of water should be investigated. Simultaneous measurements of the reflectance spectra from 400 to 750 nm and relevant water quality constituent concentrations were carried out. A shift of the peak position and an increase of the peak magnitude, when chlorophyll concentration incr...

Suitability studies of inland well waters for Litopenaeus vannamei culture

The inland farming of penaeid shrimp in low-salinity waters is now de facto in many regions of the world, yet there is little information pertaining to the suitability of waters with various ionic compositions for shrimp culture. In the present study, short-term (48 h) survival of Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei postlarvae (PL), and long-term (4 weeks) growth and survival of juvenile...
