    Effects of Oilfield Brine on Marine Organisms, An Ecological Evaluation of the Aransas Bay Area
    (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, 1971) Heffernan, T. L.; Monier, Janet; Page, Sandra
    Toxicity studies were made of oilfield brine from two separator locations in conjunction with the Sinton oilfields: Haas" Ditch, emptying into Chiltipin Creek, and Southwestern Oil and Refinery emptying into Copano Bay. Salinity of this brine ranged from 82.4 to 91.6 parts per thousand. Mortalities were noted in all tests using brown shrimp (Penaeus aztecus), white shrimp Penaeus setiferus), and juvenile blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus). Brine concentrations of above 40 per cent produced 100 per cent mortalities on all species tested.

    SEADOCK Literature Review: Working Document No. 1
    (Texas A&M Research Foundation, 1973-03-31) Hann, Roy W., Jr.; James, Wesley P.; Basco, David R.; Williams, Glen N.; Carpenter, Stewart B.; Osoba, Joseph S.; Von Gonten, Douglas; Dameron, Jake T.; Page, Sandra; Balanoff, Howard R.; Bruington, Stephen L.; Bingham, Paula H.
    The purpose of this working document is to organize the existing aquatic literature and data for the SEADOCK project. While the literature review will continue throughout the project, this report will provide reference and background material to the study teams working in the aquatic systems. The initial literature review was carried out early in the study period in order to identify missing information while there is adequate time available to obtain this information.
