Bioenergetics and behavior of the krill Euphausia pacifica in the California Current System off the Oregon coast

Creator:: Lindsey, Brie J.
Abstract:: Euphausia pacifica, the North Pacific krill, is a key grazer in the California Current System and an important prey item for consumers such as salmon, seabirds, and whales. As a crucial link between phytoplankton and higher trophic levels, it is essential to understand both the behavior and bioenergetics of this...

Fifth Oregon climate assessment

Creator:: Dalton, Meghan M., Fleishman, Erica, and Oregon Climate Change Research Institute
Abstract:: Consistent with its charge under Oregon House Bill 3543, the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute (OCCRI) conducts a biennial assessment of the state of climate change science, including biological, physical, and social science, as it relates to Oregon and the likely effects of climate change on Oregon. This fifth Oregon...

Drivers of Euphausiid Abundance and Biomass in the Kitimat Fjord System, BC Canada

Creator:: Qualls, Katelyn M.
Abstract:: Euphausiids are recognized as essential components of marine food webs throughout the world’s oceans due to their role as prey for many species including whales, seabirds, and commercial fishes. The Kitimat Fjord System is an important fisheries area and is the only fjord habitat on the British Columbia coast that...

A New Record of Planktic Foraminifera Community Response to Marine Heatwaves in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:: M. Kelsey Lane
Abstract:: Marine heat waves are forecasted to increase in frequency and intensity under future climate scenarios, but little is known about the impact of these events on the one of the most commonly used proxies of ocean temperature - foraminiferal assemblages. This research explores the planktic foraminifera community along the Newport...

Oceanographic Drivers of Northern California Current Phytoplankton Communities and their Fatty Acid Composition: Implications for Northwest Fisheries

Creator:: Smoak, Rebecca T.
Abstract:: Micro-plankton are a crucial component of pelagic food webs, responding rapidly to environmental changes, and providing a first step in the acquisition and transfer of nutrients to life in the ocean. In addition to the uptake of carbon, phytoplankton provide essential fatty acids (FAs) that can limit the growth of...

Distribution, Abundance, and Settlement of Slope-spawning Flatfish during Early Life Stages in the Eastern Bering Sea

Creator:: Sohn, Dongwha
Abstract:: Changes in environmental conditions in marine ecosystems could directly or indirectly influence distribution, abundance, settlement, and size at settlement of flatfish. Understanding species-specific and age-specific responses to environmental variability is important for managing commercially important flatfish stocks. Slope-spawning flatfish whose offspring rely on extensive drift from the slope (spawning) to...

Oregon climate assessment report : December 2010

Creator:: Dello, Kathie D., Mote, Philip W., and Oregon Climate Change Research Institute
Abstract:: The group of scientists that make up the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found in 2007 that the warming of Earth’s climate is unequivocal and largely due to human activity. Earth’s climate has changed in the past, though the recent magnitude and pace of changes are unprecedented in human existence....

Aquatic pesticide best management practices and relational database for the protection of NOAA trust species

Creator:: Gianou, Kelsey, Lam, Jennifer, Emanuel, Robert, Jepson, Paul, and Chan, Sam
Abstract:: Pesticides are widely used to control undesirable pests and may be applied directly to water or lands directly adjacent to water. There can be unintended consequences, however, to native, threatened, and endangered species. There is little information on the impacts of aquatic pesticides and best management practices (BMPs) to NOAA...

Climate change in the Northwest : implications for our landscapes, waters, and communities

Creator:: Dalton, Meghan M., Mote, Philip W., Snover, Amy K., and Oregon Climate Change Research Institute
Abstract:: Climate Change in the Northwest: Implications for Our Landscapes, Waters, and Communities is a report aimed at assessing the state of knowledge about key climate impacts and consequences to various sectors and communities in the Northwest United States. This report draws on two recent state climate assessments in Washington in...
