visitors since Jan 1997 caught in The Plankton Net.

 

The Plankton Net has been homeless for awhile, but now that I am gainfully employed, it will be happily, and permanently situated at Ohio University. Please excuse any broken links for short term (sorry, the discussion board is down still). Full functionality will return shortly.

OK, OK! Here it is. You can stop asking now
How To Make Your Very Own Plankton Net.

Plankton Research Discussion Board
(BACK UP SOON !!!)

Marine Ecology Research Opportunity Board (Post'em if you got'em)

Copepod Biology 101
(still under construction - use at your own risk :-)

I have now found enough online plankton research articles to give them a page of their very own. I will add more as they become available. Feel free to contact me regarding any others that you know of.
       Online Plankton Publications

You can also find more information about me or my research, including the poster we gave at Liège on The Application of Multifractal Analysis on Plankton Abundance. I have also compiled a relatively complete listing of plankton researcher homepages. Let me know if I missed anyone. If you have suggestions and/or submissions for additional links, please feel free to contact me via email.

Want to know more about Plankton? Check out the Encarta Plankton page, or the Aquatic Network's Plankton Parade (requires Shockwave Flash). You could also take a look at my Plankton Discussion Group, or talk in the Plankton Chat Room.

If you can afford the bandwidth, I have some movies of (freshwater) zooplankton Daphnia magna from my little tank beside my desk. Sorry...AVI format only. It's all that I had available. Thanks for the quickcam Russ. Movie1-close up of swimming (187 kb), Movie2-another close up (441 kb), Movie3 -a final extreme close up of a swimming daphnia (150 kb), Movie4-long shot of many Daphnias (1.2 Mb).

I've also recently compiled a short list of Coper the Copepod's (The Plankton Net's smallish mascot) Trendy Sites. They are not related to oceanography, but they are fun. I'll expand it as more sites become interesting.

Interested in the 1997 soap-opera relating to Department of Fisheries and Oceans interference into fisheries research in Canada? Read away c/o the Ottawa Citizen.

Select an Article Bureaucrats sabotage scientists Department international 'laughing stock' Offended fisheries officials challenge debate Fishy science Science silenced to hide 'disasters' Give scientists independence, Reform says Salmon stocks will be destroyed, scientist says 36 scientists: End the suppression DFO officials threaten to sue Citizen DFO scientists decry 'dishonesty' Scientists 'failed fishing community' East Coast fishery in peril Experts guessing at fish stocks Criticizing ministry as bad as mutiny Scientists pleaded four years ago for freedom from politics 'Who killed our jobs?' Fishermen demand public accounting Top fisheries official gets new job

Have you ever wanted to be an aquatic biologist? Now you can be one without getting a major soaker in your boot! Try sampling some of the organisms of the Great Lakes.

The Plankton Net's    Awards and Honours

Now that I have gotten my Java addiction under control, this page should load much better. Thanks for all of the feedback, both good and bad.
