Mortality threshold for juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in an epidemiological model of Ceratomyxa shasta

Creator:: Ray, R. Adam
Abstract:: The myxozoan parasite, Ceratomyxa shasta, is the most significant pathogen of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Klamath River, CA, USA. This parasite requires two hosts - a freshwater polychaete (Manayunkia speciosa) and a salmonid - to complete its life cycle. The complex life cycle and large geographic area...

Growth, residence, and movement of juvenile Chinook salmon within restored and reference estuarine marsh channels in Salmon River, Oregon

Creator:: Hering, David K.
Abstract:: Tidal wetland channels provide rearing habitat for juvenile Chinook salmon as they emigrate from freshwater habitat and prepare to enter the ocean. Widespread diking and drainage of estuarine marshes for agricultural and urban development may have contributed to a decline in salmon abundance in the Pacific Northwest, prompting efforts to...

Potential for dispersal of the non-native parasite Myxobolus cerebralis : qualitative risk assessments for the state of Alaska and the Willamette River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Arsan, E. Leyla
Abstract:: First introduced to the USA in 1958, Myxobolus cerebralis, the parasite responsible for whirling disease in salmonids, has since spread across the country causing severe declines in wild trout populations in the intermountain west. Recent development of risk assessment models used to assess the likelihood and consequences of exotic parasite...

Neural gene expression profiling in chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) of alternate run times

Creator:: Bernier, Jeremiah C.
Abstract:: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) display the greatest variability of return times to freshwater of all Pacific salmon. Differential return times to freshwater have segregated populations of Chinook into two broad types or runs, fall and spring, named for the time of year in which they migrate to freshwater. Migration time...

Evaluating the Effects of a Parasitic Copepod (Salmincola californiensis) on the Performance of Juvenile Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: Neal, William T.
Abstract:: Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) rearing in lakes and reservoirs have been known to become heavily infected with an ectoparasitic copepod (Salmincola californiensis). Little is known about the factors that affect the parasite infection prevalence and intensity. However, previous research suggests that the parasite may negatively affect the fitness and survival...

Changes in the swimming performance, behavior and physiology of juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytcha) after exposure to one, two or three acute handling stresses

Creator:: Sigismondi, Linda A.
Abstract:: The performance of an organism or organismic subsystem is the result of the interaction between the performance capacity of the system and Its environment. Environmental conditions can stress an organism and thus affect it's performance. In this study, three whole organism performances were examined: critical swimming speed, fatigue time and...

Interactions between the immune system, stress and thymulin

Creator:: Christian, Richard L., (Richard Leroy), 1971-
Abstract:: This study was conducted to determine the effects of shipping stress on the immune system in domestic lambs (Ovis aries) and to determine the potential of the thymic peptide, thymulin, to reduce those effects of stress on the immune system. Treatments consisted of no shipping (as unstressed controls), shipping (as...

Effects of diet on growth and development of nesting seabirds

Creator:: Romano, Marc D.
Abstract:: Recent declines in nesting success of some fish-eating seabirds in Alaska have been attributed to declines in availability of certain schooling forage fishes (e.g., capelin Mallotus villosus, Pacific sand lance Ammodytes hexapterus, and Pacific herring Clupea harengus pallasi). These fishes tend to have high lipid content compared with other species...

Characteristics of pools used by adult summer steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in the Steamboat Creek Basin, North Umpqua River, Oregon

Creator:: Baigun, Claudio Rafael Mariano
Abstract:: This study examined features of deep pool (>0.8 m mean depth) used by adult summer steelhead in Steamboat Creek (1991-1992). Steamboat Creek had a heterogenous thermal profile, with some segments exceeding preferred temperature of steelhead. Deep pools were scarce (4% of the total habitat units) and 39% of them were...
