Creator:: Schreck, Carl B.
Abstract:: It is current practice to transport juvenile anadromous salmonids in transplantation and to help them bypass dams. Essentially nothing is known about the effects that transportation could have on the ability of the fish to outmigrate and be fit for survival in the marine environment. Procedures involved in transporation subject...

Creator:: Schreck, Carl B. and Li, Hiram W.
Abstract:: We evaluated the effects of the McNary Dam transportation system on emigrating fall and spring chinook smolts using physiological indices of stress (e.g., plasma cortisol, hepatic glycogen, leucocrit, interrenal cell nuclear diameter) and performance tests (e.g., saltwater challenge, secondary stress challenge, disease resistance). We also conducted controlled experiments in a...

Abstract:: The Pacific salmonid species Oncorhynchus mykiss is separated into a migratory form (steelhead trout) and a non-migratory form (rainbow trout). A decrease in water temperature is likely a cue triggering downstream behavior in the migratory form, and testosterone inhibits onset of this behavior. To elucidate differences in sensitivity to water...

Abstract:: Anadromous salmonids are viewed as a prized commodity and cultural symbol throughout the Pacific coast of North America. Unfortunately, several native salmonid populations are threatened or at risk of extinction. Despite this, little is known about the behavior and survival of these fish as the juveniles transition from freshwater to...

Creator:: Clements, Shaun, Stahl, Thomas, and Schreck, Carl B.
Abstract:: We used radio and acoustic telemetry to study the behavior and survival of wild steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and hatchery coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and steelhead outmigrants in a small coastal estuary during two years. Survival was generally low for hatchery fish but more variable, both within and between years,...

Abstract:: To best manage Eagle Creek National Fish Hatchery, negative interactions between hatchery salmonids and Endangered Species Act listed wild salmonids in the Eagle Creek Basin need to be minimized. Our objectives were: 1) to compare summer rearing densities in two similar streams, where one stream received a release of hatchery...

Creator:: Clemens, Benjamin J., Mesa, Matthew G., Magie, Robert J., Young, Douglas A., and Schreck, Carl B.
Abstract:: We describe the migration distances and timing of the adult Pacific lamprey, Entosphenus tridentatus, in the Willamette River Basin (Oregon, U.S.A.). We conducted aerial surveys to track radio-tagged fish upstream of a major waterfall and hydropower complex en route to spawning areas. We detected 24 out of the 43 fish...

Abstract:: We report the incidence of male intersex in adult Pacific lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus (Richardson, 1836)) during their pre-spawning migration in fresh water. Although “hermaphrodites” have been suggested in other adult lampreys, this is the first detailed description and discussion of this phenomenon. A total of 0.5% of our adult Pacific...

Creator:: Pribyl, Alena L., Kent, Michael L., Parker, Steven J., and Schreck, Carl B.
Abstract:: Pacific rockfish experience high discard mortality when captured owing to a condition called barotrauma,which is caused by the change in pressure during capture. This condition appears to be species specific at the macroscopic level; however, little is known about the microscopic tissue-level effects of barotrauma. Determining whether tissue-level injuries are...

Creator:: Kelsey, D. A., Schreck, Carl B., Congleton, J. L., and Davis, L. E.
Abstract:: Experiments were designed to determine whether and how steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss affect chinook salmon O. tshawytscha when the two species are confined together. In a behavioral experiment, we observed groups of juvenile chinook salmon and steelhead together and groups of chinook salmon alone to determine whether the steelhead were aggressive...
