On the classification of lakes and lake-like bodies of the Ukraine [Translation from: Gidrobiologicheskie Zhurnal, Kiev 19(2) 100-101, 1983]

In the Ukraine there are several thousand large, medium and small lakes and lake-like reservoirs, distinguished by origin, salinity, regional position, productivity and by construction a significant number of large and small water bodies, ponds and industrial reservoirs of variable designation. The problem of national systems necessitates the creation of specific schemes and classifications. Classifying into specific types of reservoir by means of suitable specifications is required for planning national measures with the objective of the rational utilisation of natural resources. It is now necessary to consider the present-day characteristics of Ukranian lakes. In the case of the Ukraine it is possible to use two approaches - genetical and ecological. This paper uses the genetical system to classify the lake-like water bodies of the Ukraine.

Report of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission for the year 1982

ENGLISH: SPANISH: La Comisión Interamericana del Atún Tropical funciona bajo la autoridad y dirección de un convenio establecido originalmente por la República de Costa Rica y los Estados Unidos de América. El convenio vigente desde 1950, está abierto a la afiliación de otros gobiernos cuyos ciudadanos pescan atún en el Pacífico oriental tropical. Bajo esta estipulación, Panamá se afilió en 1953, Ecuador en 1961, los Estados Unidos Mexicanos en 1964, Canadá en 1968, Japón en 1970, Francia y Nicaragua en 1973. Ecuador se retiró de la Comisión en 1968, México en 1978 y Costa Rica en 1979. Como se informó en el informe anual de la Comisión de 1978, la XXXVI reunión de la Comisión, convocada en Tokio (Japón) del 16 al 18 de octubre de 1978, fue suspendida sin haberse adoptado ninguna acción para fijar una cuota de atún aleta amarilla en 1979. La XL reunión de la Comisión fue convocada en La Jolla, California (EEUU) del 19 al 21 de octubre de 1982. (PDF contains 296 pages.)

Record of a colloquium organised by IUBS on the methodology of radiation measurement under water. [Translation from: Mem. Inst. Ital. Idrobiol. 17, 57-79, 1964]

These minutes report on colloquium on the methodology of radiation measurement under water. The meeting was held on 3-5 January 1957, at the Biological Station, Lunz, Austria. The participants of the colloquium discussed various methodologies of radiation measurements, basic methods such as Secchi Disc and underwater photometer as well as specialist equipment like the absolute radiation apparatus.

A política externa independente na questão da descolonização da África lusófona (1958 1964)

O presente trabalho destina-se a analisar as relações diplomáticas entre o Brasil e Portugal sobre a questão da independência da África lusófona. Até 1961, verifica-se a manutenção de uma relação privilegiada com a pátria lusitana, traduzida no incondicional apoio brasileiro prestado aos assuntos do interesse de Portugal que se colocavam nos foros internacionais, como por exemplo, a questão da descolonização africana, no âmbito da ONU.A Política Externa Independente, projeto formulado em 1961 pelo então Presidente Jânio Quadros e seu Chanceler, Afonso Arinos de Melo Franco, visava a renovação da ação externa do país. O anticolonialismo e a defesa da autodeterminação dos povos faziam parte das formulações da PEI, que, entretanto, acabou encontrando grandes dificuldades para manter a coerência no posicionamento brasileiro na ONU, diante do processo de descolonização dos territórios portugueses na África. Portugal manteve, durante todo o período analisado (1958-1964), uma forte estratégia de defesa da manutenção de seus territórios ultramarinos. O Brasil, por sua vez, encontrou, principalmente no nível interno, os maiores obstáculos para manter uma conduta assertiva na matéria colonial. A leitura das fontes primárias, bem como dos livros escritos pelos Chanceleres da PEI, constituiu importante metodologia para a comprovação de que houve contradições e abstenções por parte do Brasil, sobre a questão colonial portuguesa, entre 1961-1964, na ONU. E que a falta de unidade de posicionamento externada nas Assembléias refletia principalmente os embates internos, que provocaram as grandes oscilações demonstradas pela nossa Delegação nas mais importantes votações sobre a questão.

Experiments on downstream movement of recently emerged trout and salmon parr in Grassholme channels, 1983-1985

A number of authors have described the manner in which young salmonids, soon after emergence from the gravel, set up and defend territories. This leads to mortality or downstream displacement of the individuals which are unable to acquire territories and is widely accepted as the main method of population regulation amongst young salmonids. In some field experiments the fish were constrained in screened reaches and the option of downstream dispersal for the surplus fry was thus excluded. In order to explore some aspects of downstream dispersal more closely under conditions which gave more control than is obtained in a natural stream, four experimental channels were set up at Grassholme reservoir in Teesdale. The report describes the results of investigations on the timing and rate of downstream movement of young brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) out of experimental channels, with special reference to the effect of water velocity on the rate of ”emigration”.

The colonization of Windermere by Crangonyx pseudogracilis (Crustacea, Amphipoda) 1961 to 1964

C. pseudogracilis , was first seen in the South Basin of Windermere in 1960. The colonization of the lake from South to North is described (1961 to 1964). The relationship with Asellus and Gammarus is mentioned. Possible reasons for its successful colonization are discused as are the methods by which it may have been transported to the lake.
