ZOO*4300 (Marine Biology and Oceanography) is a senior-level field course offered by the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Guelph. This two-week course is held at the Huntsman Marine Science Centre in St. Andrew’s New Brunswick, Canada. Students enrolled in the course study various aspects of the ecology, behaviour, physiology, biochemistry and genetics of marine organisms using a variety of oceanographic techniques. The course also includes group exercises to study various intertidal and sub-tidal environments as well as boat cruises to collect plankton, benthic invertebrates, marine fish, and to observe marine mammals. The course provides excellent opportunities for students to familiarize themselves with state-of-the-art techniques involved in various branches of marine biology and oceanography and conduct an individual research project. This feature highlights three individual research projects by University of Guelph students. More information about the field course in marine biology and oceanography is accessible at the following link: http://www.uoguelph.ca/ib/undergrad/fieldcourses_marine.shtml.

Dissolved Species

High As concentrations occur in certain United Kingdom estuaries as a result of mineralization and associated processes including mining and metal refining. Analyses of dissolved and particulate As, carried out in estuaries of differing contamination, indicate that As is readily precipitated with Fe during mixing at the freshwater–seawater interface. This gives rise to significant correlations between the two elements in suspended and bottom sediments. More than 80% of the As entering Restronguet Creek, the most contaminated of the estuaries studied, is retained by estuarine sediments, which consequently act as sinks for riverine inputs and limit transport of dissolved species to coastal waters. However, the behavior of As in different estuaries varies with the physicochemical conditions present and the nature of the source. Most significantly, remobilization of sediments is recognized as a feature affecting the cycling of As in the Tamar Estuary.
