1. A rational conservation program for such migratory fishes as the salmon must be based on a knowledge of (a) whether or not the species consists of local, self-perpetuating populations and (b) the nature and extent of the oceanic migrations.
2. The conservation of a species that is broken up...
The salmon runs of the Columbia River constitute one of the most important natural resources of the states of Oregon and Washington. Thousands of people are dependent, wholly or in part, upon these resources for their livelihood; and their welfare is dependent upon the maintenance of the salmon runs. It...
In a paper now in press as a Bulletin of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Services the writer has discussed the downward trend of the catch of Columbia River Chinook salmon since 1920 and has stated that the decline is doubtless an indication that the runs of this species...
A study of the fishery problems raised by the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam on the upper Columbia River was done. Part of the study was to estimate the number of salmon taken in commercial fishery for the purpose of comparing this with the number counted as they passed...
The salmon of the Columbia River have supported an intensive fishery for over seventy years but are now showing unmistakable signs of depletion, and various factors are contributing to the rapid progress of this condition. Five species of fish enter into the commercial fishery on the Columbia River itself. These...
Exceptional data are available for the study of the salmon runs of the Columbia River in 1938. Detailed figures on catch were supplied by Oregon and Washington in such form that they could readily be combined with the counts at Bonneville Dam to provide a basis for estimating the escapement....
A symposium presented before a joint meeting of the
American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists
and the Western Society of Naturalists at Stanford University
on June 29, 1939, and published as a special issue
of the Stanford Ichthyological Bulletin through the cooperation
of the Fish Commission of the State of...
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) experiences soil degradation, food and livelihood insecurity, environmental pollution and lack of access to energy. Biochar has gained international research attention, but few studies have investigated the potential of biochar to address the challenges in SSA. This paper seeks to identify and evaluate generic potential opportunities and...
Magmatic-hydrothermal ore deposits are giant geochemical anomalies in the earth’s crust most often generated by normal magmatic terrestrial processes. They are often associated with oxidized and hydrous intermediate to highly evolved magmas that have concentrated metals and have the necessary components to efficiently extract and transport them as ascending magmatic-hydrothermal...
