Tonight’s Specials Include Mysids, Amphipods, and More: An Examination of the Zooplankton Prey of Oregon Gray Whales and its Impact on Foraging Choices and Prey Selection

Creator:: Hildebrand, Lisa
Abstract:: Understanding prey quality and prey selection by predators is critical for management efforts aimed at identification and protection of essential habitats and prey. Marine predators must make daily foraging choices in a heterogenous and dynamic environment in order to meet the high energetic demands of migration, reproduction and foraging. With...

Characterizing Fine-Scale Neutral and Adaptive Genetic Diversity of Oncorhynchus mykiss in the Klamath Basin Before Dam Removal

Creator:: Piotrowski, Stanley J.
Abstract:: An inextricable link exists between dams and human development in the Pacific Northwest, but they can fragment rivers and reduce genetic connectivity for freshwater and anadromous fishes. Since the early-twentieth century, a series of hydropower and irrigation dams on the mainstem Klamath River, California, has fragmented migratory corridors and eliminated...

Value of Prior and Novel Information in Managing a Mixed-Stock Recreational Chinook Salmon Fishery

Creator:: Jensen, Alexander J.
Abstract:: Many economically important Pacific salmon fisheries along the west coast of North America are mixed-stock, recreational systems, in which managers strive to account for interactions between fish, anglers, and management policy while balancing fishery access against conservation of vulnerable stocks. Specific challenges facing fisheries managers include limited control over angling...

Benthic macroinvertebrates sampled above and below Cougar Dam

Creator:: Murphy, Christina A, Johnson, Sherri L., Gerth, William, Pierce, Todd, and Taylor, Gregory
Abstract:: This dataset accompanies the manuscript Unintended consequences of selective water withdrawals from reservoirs alter downstream macroinvertebrate communities in Water Resources Research. Benthic macroinvertebrates were collected from samples taken annually during the first two weeks of August from 2002-2007 and again in 2017 at six sites in the South Fork McKenzie...

Evaluation of Pacific Lamprey Entosphenus Tridentatus Anatomical Structures as Records of Age and Isotope Histories

Creator:: Pelekai, Keala N.
Abstract:: The anadromous Pacific Lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) is a biologically and culturally important species native to the North Pacific Ocean and its adjacent freshwater tributaries. Pacific Lamprey have experienced declines in abundance and distribution throughout their native range, highlighting a need for further research on the species to better inform conservation...

Body Condition and Hormone Assessment of Eastern North Pacific Gray Whales (Eschrichtius robustus) and Associations with Ambient Noise

Creator:: Lemos, Leila S.
Abstract:: Anthropogenic activities have posed many threats to the oceans and marine life. Understanding how individuals are affected and physiologically respond to these threats is crucial and allows for management and conservation applications. I evaluated the overall health condition of a subpopulation of gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus) along the Oregon coast,...

Function of Oregon Estuaries to Juvenile Fishes, with Focus on Juvenile Rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) in Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Schwartzkopf, Brittany D.
Abstract:: The role that anthropogenic and natural habitats in estuaries play in long-term population trends for Oregon’s nearshore marine fishes is poorly understood, in part due to limited temporal sampling. One important nearshore marine group is northeastern Pacific rockfishes (Sebastes spp.), which are highly diverse, with around 96 documented species, and...

Population Differentiation in two Northeastern Pacific Marine Species

Creator:: Curran, Lorne Sullivan
Abstract:: Population genetic techniques are now preeminent in differentiating wild populations. Natural resource managers rely on them in their efforts to restore viable populations of fish and wildlife. Overfishing adversely impacted Yelloweye Rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) on the U.S. West Coast in the late 20th century. Management actions included shutting down the...

Long Term Trends and Sources of Sound in United States Waters

Creator:: Haver, Samara M.
Abstract:: Passive acoustic monitoring is a valuable tool for observing the status of marine environments. Comparisons of underwater soundscapes over temporal and spatial scales can provide data to inform marine conservation efforts, including protection of threatened and endangered species. This dissertation utilizes passive acoustic data collected via a broadly spaced array...

Salmon Management in Southeast Alaska: An Examination of Multi-Dimensional Management

Creator:: Chrittenden, Whitney L.
Abstract:: Pacific salmon are culturally and economically important species to Southeast Alaska, where there is a history of large wild runs and supplemental production from hatchery programs. Salmon management in Alaska is divided amongst various governmental agencies. Non-governmental organizations also play a pivotal role in salmon management. To fulfill the requirements...
