Bifurcation

Seaward


Definition:

  • (a.) Directed or situated toward the sea.
  • (adv.) Toward the sea.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) The absence of an effect of PRLs in chum salmon fry seems to be due, at least in part, to their good osmoregulatory ability during the period of seaward migration; effects of the exogenously administered PRLs may be compensated for by other hormones responsible for their hydromineral balance.
  • (3) The New York Bight extends seaward some 80 to 100 miles (ca.
