The individual stocks of sockeye salmon that make up the
annual spawning migration to the Bristol Bay region of Western
Alaska are produced in the lakes and streams of ten major river
systems, which discharge into the bay over a shoreline distance of
120 miles. The hypothesis adopted in this...
One means of evaluating the temperature requirements of an
animal is to determine changes temperature causes in the uses and
losses of energy and materials in the food the animal consumes. To
develop energy budgets for cichlids (Cichlasoma bimaculatum) at different
temperatures (20, 24, 28, 32 and 36 C) data...
Aspects of the limnology and benthic ecology of Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, are described emphasizing those features that identify its uniqueness. The lake is large, shallow, and characterized by nuisance abundances of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae and midge flies. Results of this study indicate that it does not stratify and dissolved oxygen...
The behavior of two species of stream salmonids, juvenile coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch (Walbaurn) and cutthroat trout, Salmo clarki clarki Richardson, was studied in terms of the time spent by individual fish in carrying out various activities. Studies were conducted from June 1968, through May 1969, at Berry Creek, a...
A study was conducted at the Pacific Cooperative Water Pollution
and Fisheries Research Laboratories, Oregon State University,
to determine the effects of pentachlorophenol (PCP) on the early developmental
stages of the steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri). Experiments
were performed from May, 1965, through May, 1968, on the
survival, growth, and bioenergetics...
