Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHardware and Software Components of an Oysters' Gape Measurement SystemAmin Ali, Kamal Ali, Aaugustine Ukpebor et al.In this work, the hardware and software used in developing a bivalve gape measurement system is explored. This system employs the Hall-effect phenomenon to accurately measure and report the gape of a bivalve. The system uses a Hall Effect sensor (Symmetry Electronics’ H2425) and a small magnet in which both are glued to the exterior of the shells of a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 7 Sep 2019 · 8,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRelationships between Heavy Metal Concentrations in the American Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) and Metal Levels in the Water Column and Sediment in Apalachicola Bay, FloridaDennis A. Apeti, Larry Robinson, Elijah JohnsonThis study aims to assess baseline concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn) in the oyster soft tissue as they relate to concentrations in the water column (particulate phase) and sediment in Apalachicola Bay. In order to conduct these assessments, a total of 360 samples, collected in two seasons (winter and summer) and were analyzed using atomic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,344 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Model for Bioaccumulation of Metals in Crassostrea virginica from Apalachicola Bay, FloridaDennis A. Apeti, Elijah Johnson, Larry RobinsonKinetics of bioaccumulation of the trace metals (Cd and Zn) by C. virginica were investigated in this study. A computer program, Oyster Bioaccumulation Model (OBM), was developed to simulate the accumulation of the metals from both dissolved (water column) and particulate (food) phases by C. virginica. The model is based on two main attributes: (1) the oyster biological characteristics such … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,474 accessesView PDFCite
