Bed Form

A three dimensional unstructured model was established and estuaries with different cross sectional divergence rates and different bed form were designed to study the estuary geometric feature effecting on salt-fresh water mixing in estuary. The model dispersing 3d domain into unstructured triangular and/or quadrangular elements, has good flexibility to simulate complex bank. By analyzing the horizontal and longitudinal distribution attributes of velocity and salinity field, the effects of cross section divergence rate, the bottom elevation of mouth and the slope inside estuary on salt water intrusion in estuary are studied. The result could act as design basis for the engineering projects which will change estuary’s bank shape or bed form such as estuary regulation and channel dredging.

Reproductive Phases

A pot trial to assess the effect of salt water on growth and yield of rice in the Northern Territory of Australia was conducted in 1962-63. Two varieties were irrigated with three levels of salinity for varied durations in either the establishment or reproductive phases. Plant emergence was significantly depressed by soil conductivities in excess of 4 m-mhos/cm at 25�C. The restricted use of up to 3000 p.p.m. total soluble salts from 10 days after emergence and of up to 6000 p.p.m. from 20 days after emergence, followed by fresh water, had no effect on flowering time, vegetative or grain yields. The application of 3000 and 6000 p.p.m. total soluble salts in the reproductive phase reduced mean panicle number and grain yield of both varieties and straw yield of one variety. Use of saline water in the establishment phase followed by fresh water and drainage, reduced soil conductivity. In the reproductive phase it nullified the effect of previous fresh water flushing and tended to increase soil conductivity above original levels.

External Stimuli

In juvenile Pacific salmon the changes in salinity preference associated with seaward migration and thyroid activity were studied and used as criteria for the induction of the physiological condition required for migration (migration-disposition).Four species of Oncorhynchus (chum, pink, coho and sockeye) changed preference from fresh to salt water at the onset of seaward migration and maintained this preference throughout the migration season. At the end of this migration period coho and sockeye salmon changed preference from salt to fresh water if retained in fresh water, indicating a re-adaptation to this medium in which they may survive for several years. Chum and pink fry did not show this change in preference and usually died when retained in fresh water. They were apparently unable to re-adapt to this environment.The increasing day length in spring controls the time at which the change in preference from fresh to salt water takes place, and is thus involved in timing the induction of migration-disposition.The photoperiod seems to affect particularly the pituitary-thyroid system. Thyroid activity increases shortly before the onset of migration, remains high during the migration season, and decreases towards its end. The level of thyroid hormone in the blood influences salinity tolerance and preference and, thus, the induction of migration-disposition. Metamorphosis, osmotic "stress" and iodine content of the water may have some additional effect on thyroid activity, but are not the only factors responsible for thyroid hyperactivity during migration.Animals in which migration-disposition has been induced are thought to have become susceptible to appropriate external stimuli "releasing" migration.
