Active Growth Period

Nitrogenase activity (at in situ temperatures) associated with Zostera marina reflected the active growth periods of this plant in North Carolina coastal waters. During the plants most active growth period (late winter – spring) nitrogenase activity was primarily rhizospheric (8.47 μmol nitrogen fixed∙m−2∙day−1), while during its fall – early winter period it was primarily phyllospheric (8.03 μmol nitrogen fixed∙m−2∙day−1). No nitrogenase activity was detected during the warmer summer months when the plant is dormant. Phyllospheric nitrogenase activity (possibly the result of epiphytic heterocystic blue-green bacteria) was highest when plants were incubated aerobically in the presence of light.

Five spiny dogfish were captured in early-mid May during gillnet and longline sampling targeting juvenile coastal sharks in inshore North Carolina waters.  Dogfish captures were made within Back Sound and Core Sound, North Carolina. All dogfish were females measuring 849-905 mm total length, well over the size at 50% maturity. Dogfish were caught at stations 1.8-2.7 m in depth, with temperatures 22.9-24.2 °C, 32.8-33.4 ppt salinity, and 6.9-8.0 mg/L dissolved oxygen. These observations are among the latest in the spring for spiny dogfish in the southeastern U.S. and occurred at higher temperatures than previously recorded for this species.  It is unclear whether late-occurring spiny dogfish in this area represent a cryptic late-migrating or resident segment of the Northwest Atlantic population.
