The Nehalem and North Fork Nehalem rivers are the major tributaries of Nehalem Bay, an estuary on Oregon's north coast (Fig 1). The winter steelhead (Salmo gairdneri) and related fisheries of both streams have been the object of a study which began in 1972. Some data from creel surveys were...
Mean weights, lengths, and condition factors of three isozyme
phenotypes of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme differed significantly
for experimentally reared winter steelhead trout (Salmo
gairdneri) fry. Time of emergence from the gravel was unrelated
to LDH phenotype. Relative mortality of the phenotypes between
eyed-egg stage and emergence was unaffected by...
Twenty-two steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) containing coded wire tags (CWT's) were captured in gillnets fished by the Oshoro-Maru in the Gulf of Alaska and along 180 during 1982-85. These fish originated from North American streams and hatcheries in British Columbia, Idaho, and Washington. One fish was age 0.1, 16 were...
Growth characteristics of otoliths were used to determine age, and to separate known races and stocks of steelhead trout (Salmo
gairdneri). Otoliths were the first calcified structures observed in X-ray photographs of steelhead embryos, and a continuous record of events through life was interpreted from these structures. A direct
relationship...
