This is a summary report of preliminary recommendations for the Oregon State University: Hatfield Marine Science Center, located in Newport, Lincoln County, Oregon as this institution prepares to embark on the developm ...

Research was undertaken to examine the influence of light intensity on the shoaling behavior, activity and anti-predator behavior of juvenile walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma. Under a 12 h light/12 h dark photoperio ...

This study examined, under controlled laboratory conditions, behavioral responses of larval walleye pollock (4 to 8 mm) to various physical factors that may potentially play a role in vertical movements and distribution. ...

The effects of anomalous oceanographic conditions on growth, abundance, spawn-date distributions, and diet of early-juvenile Pacific hake Merluccius productus were examined in nursery grounds off the coast of central Cal ...

We evaluated the effect of capture depth and fish size on the ability of several Pacific rockfishes Sebastes spp. to resubmerge after hook-and-line capture and surface release. We observed fish as they were released into ...

Density estimation for marine mammal species is performed primarily using visual distance sampling or capture-recapture. Minke whales in Hawaiian waters are very difficult to sight; however, they produce a distinctive ...

Various methods have been developed to mitigate the adverse effects of the Federal Columbia River Power System on juvenile Pacific salmon out-migrating through the Columbia River basin. In this study, we found that hatch ...

Juvenile red hake Urophycis chuss were collected while they were inhabiting sea scallops Placopecten magellanicus , and the effects of appetite and food availability on prey consumption and growth were examined under lab ...

Fisheries models often assume that discarded undersized fish and target species will survive and contribute to future recruitment and yield. If smaller fish are more susceptible to capture stressors than larger fish, the ...
