The relationship between stream habitat complexity and anadromous salmonid diversity and habitat selection

Creator:: Chen, Glenn K.
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Territorial behavior in juvenile steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) : how redside shiner (Richardsonius balteatus) influence intraspecific interactions

Creator:: Tinus, Craig A.
Abstract:: Juvenile steelhead are known to associate with shiner groups, though they also compete for food. Steelhead form dominance hierarchies within cohorts and aggressively defend feeding territories against all other fish. This study focused on the differential effect of shiner competition on steelhead of different social standing. Survival of subordinate juvenile...

Ontogeny and metamorphosis in the Dover sole (Microstomus pacificus) : a description of the early life history stages, with comments on the sister-group relationship between Microstomus and Embassichthys

Creator:: Harris, Phillip M.
Abstract:: The early life history stages and metamorphosis in Dover sole (Microstomus pacificus) are described from 201 larvae and juveniles. Unlike other pleuronectids, with the possible exception of the deep-sea sole (Embassichthvs bathvbius), initial migration of the left eye is not associated with metamorphosis or transition from plankton to benthos. The...

Movement Patterns of Rockfishes at the Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve, Oregon

Creator:: Calvanese, Thomas P.
Abstract:: The effects of Marine protected areas (MPAs) on adult fish populations depend on the degree of protection provided, which is partly a function of MPA size and the spatial extent of fish movements. The Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve (RRMR) and MPA, located on the south coast of Oregon near Port...

Influence of streamflow regime and biotic interactions on fish assemblage structure in rivers of the northern Great Plains

Creator:: Kelly, Valerie
Abstract:: This study evaluates the functional organization of stream fish assemblages in response to streamflow factors and biotic interactions across a range of spatial scale. The study area for this project includes 109 stream reaches located on tributaries to the upper Missouri River in the northern Great Plains. Fish distribution data...

Impacts of earlier emerging steelhead fry of hatchery origin on the social structure, distribution, and growth of wild steelhead fry

Creator:: Noble, Sandra M. (Sandra Marie)
Abstract:: Newly emerged steelhead fry (Oncorhynchus mvkiss) of hatchery and wild origins were studied in laboratory stream channels and natural streams. Objectives of the study were to determine if and how earlier emerging hatchery fry influence the emigration, realized densities, growth, habitat use, social structure, and activity patterns of localized populations...

Functional Diversity : A Tool to Track Spatiotemporal Changes in the Trophic Organization of Reef Fish Assemblages

Creator:: Rincón Diaz, Martha P.
Abstract:: Biodiversity loss in highly diverse systems such as coral reefs has been linked to significant declines in the ecosystem functions and services provided by marine species. Ecological functioning of coral reefs and the resistance of coral reef fish communities to disturbance depend on the functional traits of species that promotes...

Energy utilization by young grass carp fed different diets

Creator:: Cai, Zhengwei
Abstract:: Effects of diet on food energy utilization by grass carp fed aquatic plants or formulated diets with varied lipid sources and levels are presented in three manuscripts. Significant effects of diet on food consumption, digestion, growth and muscle fatty acid (FA) composition of fingerling diploid grass carp fed aquatic macrophytes...

Electrofishing mark-recapture and depletion methodologies evoke behavioral and physiological changes in cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki)

Creator:: Mesa, Matthew G.
Abstract:: We examined the behavioral and physiological responses of wild and hatchery-reared cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki subjected to a single electroshock, electroshock plus marking, and multiple electroshocking in natural and artificial streams. In a natural stream, trout released after capture by electrofishing and marking showed distinct behavioral changes: fish immediately sought...

Ecology and decline of a rare western minnow : the Oregon chub (Oregonichthys crameri)

Creator:: Pearsons, Todd N.
Abstract:: Once historically widespread throughout the Willamette and Umpqua River drainages, the Willamette Oregon chub is now restricted to scattered populations along 15 miles of the Middle Fork of the Willamette River whereas the Umpqua Oregon chub is still widely distributed. The decline in the Willamette drainage was more severe because...

Description and analysis of dietary preference of lingcod in the nearshore zone, Oregon

Creator:: Tinus, Craig A.
Abstract:: The lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus) is an important groundfish species in both recreational and commercial fisheries of the Northeastern Pacific. It is a large, fast-growing, generalist predator of invertebrates and fishes. In response to concerns that lingcod may limit populations of rockfishes (Sebastes spp.), I compared the diets of 375 adult...
