Title: Mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) counts and gut content analysis from lift trap transect collections along Rowley River tidal creeks associated with long term fertilization experiments, Rowley, MA.
The lift traps were used to capture mummichogs accessing the high marsh platform. Mummichogs were collected to study the effect of marsh-edge geomorphology on mummichog distribution and foraging. The TIDE project aims to simulate eutrophication on a large scale by the addition of NO3- aiming to reach 70μM concentrations from May to September every year during the growing season. This fertilization of the marsh has been going on at Sweeney Creek since the 2004 growing season through 2016 and at Clubhead Creek in 2005 and from 2009 till 2016. Years 2017-2020 are enrichment recovery years.  more » « less

  4. Melampus bidentatus (coffee bean snail) length and biomass measurements for Rowley River tidal creeks associated with long term fertilization experiments, Rowley and Ipswich, MA. The TIDE project aims to simulate eutrophication on a large scale by the addition of NO3- aiming to reach 70μM concentrations from May to September every year during the growing season. This fertilization of the marsh has been going on at Sweeney Creek since the 2004 growing season through 2016 and at Clubhead Creek in 2005 and from 2009 till 2016. Invertebrates were sampled after fertilization ended to look at recovery.
