Water temperature influenced interactions between redside
shiners and juvenile steelhead trout (≥1+) in the field and the
laboratory. Distribution of the two species within various habitats
was determined in three streams with different water temperature
regimes. The range of habitats occupied by trout in allopatry at
cool temperatures and at...
Discrete coldwater patches within warm streams provide potential thermal refuge for coldwater fishes during periods of heat stress. This analysis focused on heterogeneity in stream water temperatures as influenced by local influx of cooler subsurface waters. Using field thermal probes and recording thermistors, we identified and characterized coldwater patches potentially...
This is a report on the feasibility of using heated effluent for the culture of oysters containing detailed studies on the effects of increased temperatures on oyster growth.
For oysters, "The objective of these studies was to determine the biological feasibility of using the heated effluent from coastal nuclear power plants for culturing the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas." (p.1) Work included oyster growth experiments, seasonal growth experiments and closed system studies. For salmon, "The objective of these studies...
The Washington Cooperative Fishery Unit at the College of Fisheries, University of Washington, Is carrying on studies of fishes in Lake Washington as part of the International Biological Program sponsored by
the National Science Foundation. One of our interests Is. in the effects of temperature on the movements of fishes...
Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) and bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus)
were exposed to flows of water containing low DO concentrations
produced by bubbling nitrogen through the water. Abrupt exposure of
fish to critical DO concentrations (The standard dose response) and by
a more gradual changing of DO levels (The "stepdown" approach) were...
The growth and production of brown trout, Salmo trutta Linnaeus, exposed to a concentration of 0.65 mg/l BOD (4.1 percent by volume) stabilized kraft mill effluent (KME) were studied from October 1973 until May 1974 in three experimental stream channels located near a kraft mill in Albany, Oregon. Growth rate...
