Seasonal Variation of Chemical Components of Juice at Maturing Stage in Very Early Ripening Mutants of Satsuma Mandarin with Special Reference to Limonoid Compounds.

1 Seasonality of poisonings was studied among 28 692 cases reported during the years 1980-1982 in Finland with special reference to recurring peak months over years. Poisonings predominated in the summer. For all age-groups peaks of envenomations, plant poisonings and pesticide poisonings recurred between June and September. 2 Among children aged 0-6 years, there were in addition recurrent peaks in poisonings by tobacco between June and August, by corrosive agents in September and by vitamins, trace elements and external medicines in October. Among children aged 7-15 years, fertilizer poisonings peaked recurrently in August. Among adults, poisonings by petroleum products peaked recurrently in July and December, psychopharmacologic drugs in July and October, paints, glues and plastics in November, alcohols in December and antimicrobial drugs in August and October. 3 Of all poisonings, 33% occurred in July, August or September in contrast to the expected 25%. Preventive efforts should thus be intensified during the summer.

Radiocarbon Dates

Radiocarbon dating encounters (1) problems of reservoir effects and regional/seasonal variation affecting the chronological reliability of measurements, (2) problems of calibration of measurements via comparison with tree segments of known dendrochronological dates, (3) problems of statistical inference with respect to the data pre- and post-calibration, and (4) problems of the analysis and communication of information to archaeologists, historians, and other interested parties. This paper considers the special characteristics of each of the problem areas indicated in order to improve communication between14C scientists and the disciplines of archaeology, anthropology, and ancient history.

Diet Shifts

Caranx bucculentus is an abundant predator in the commercial prawn grounds of Albatross Bay in the Gulf of Carpentaria. The stomachs of samples taken from Albatross Bay contained mainly teleosts (48%) and crustaceans (46%), with commercially important prawns contributing 15% by dry weight to the total diet. The proportion of teleosts, penaeids, brachyurans, 'other crustaceans' and molluscs in the diet changes as the fish grow and their diet shifts from mainly crustaceans to mainly teleosts. Although the percentage of teleosts, penaeids, brachyurans and 'other crustaceans' eaten varied with the time of sampling, no seasonal variation was noted. Only the numbers of penaeids and 'other crustaceans' eaten varied significantly over 24 h. Caranx bucculentus less than 200 mm SL ate most penaeid prey during the day and primarily took small, commercially unimportant species. In contrast, fishes more than 275 mm long took larger, commercially important species, and mainly at night. The abundance of large C. bucculentus and the high incidence of commercial penaeids in their diet indicate that this species may have a considerable impact on the prawn resources of Albatross Bay.
