Variation in mitochondrial DNA and allozymes discriminates early and late forms of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers, Alaska

Creator:: Adams, Noah Swayambhu
Abstract:: Genetic differences between early and late forms of Alaskan chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were identified using two genetic approaches: mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis and protein electrophoresis. The study populations consisted of early- and late-run chinook salmon in each of the Kenai and Kasilof rivers in Alaska, and a single population...

The effects of harvesting Pacific hake (Merluccius productus) on the offshore community : the results of a multi-species model

Creator:: Gartz, Russell G.
Abstract:: The effects of harvesting Pacific hake (Merluccius productus) were examined with a multi-species numerical model composed of seven logistic growth equations coupled by a food web. The food web was composed of: California sea lions (Zalophus californianus), hake, sablefish (Anaplopoma fimbria), spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias), a generic rockfish species (Sebastes...

Stream habitat classification and restoration in the Blue Mountians of northeast Oregon

Creator:: Ebersole, Joseph Lamar
Abstract:: The restoration of rivers and streams should be based on a strong conceptual framework. Streams are developing systems. As such, streams exhibit temporal behaviors that change with changing stream environments. Underlying the dynamic development of streams is potential capacity. Streams express this capacity as an array of habitats over time...

Prevalence, geographic distribution, and biology of a dungeness crab, Cancer magister, microsporidian parasite

Creator:: Childers, Richard K.
Abstract:: The microsporidian parasite Nadelspora canceri infects Dungeness crabs, Cancer magister, along the United States Pacific Northwest coast. The prevalence and seasonal variation of N. canceri in Dungeness crabs from Alsea Bay, Oregon, are described based on examination of 2991 crabs collected at monthly intervals from October, 1991 to June, 1993....

Microencapsulation of water-soluble substances for delivery to marine bivalves

Creator:: Buchal, Michael A.
Abstract:: A new method for encapsulating low-molecular weight, water-soluble substances in lipid-walled microcapsules (LWMs) for delivery to marine bivalves was developed, characterized, and tested. LWMs produced by a spray technique (spray microcapsules, SMs) were demonstrated to encapsulate both aqueous (polymeric dye or oxytetracycline hydrochloride) and particulate (riboflavin) core materials within a...

Historical change in channel form and riparian vegetation of the McKenzie River, Oregon

Creator:: Minear, Paula J.
Abstract:: This study examined channel structure and position and riparian vegetation and land use on the upper 70 km of the McKenzie River, Oregon in the 1940s, compared the 1940s conditions to present conditions, and explored the processes driving change in this system and the implications for aquatic habitat. The hydrologic...

Fishing location choices in Oregon trawl fisheries : are fishermen risk-averse or risk-prone?

Creator:: Trisak, Jiraporn
Abstract:: Despite the fact that fishing is an inherently uncertain business, risk has rarely been formally recognized in fisheries science or management. Few fishery management plans include any form of risk assessment and those that do focus on minimizing risk caused by uncertainty associated with markets and environmental conditions. Fishermen's attitudes...

Effects of hydrology on zooplankton communities in high mountain ponds, Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Girdner, Scott F.
Abstract:: Ten high mountain ponds in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington State, were studied from June through September 1992 to investigate the influences of fluctuating pond volumes on zooplankton communities. A temporary pond of short wet phase duration was inhabited by zooplankton taxa with short generation times and a crustacean taxa...

Distribution of nearshore macroinvertebrates in lakes of the northern Cascade Mountains, Washington, USA

Creator:: Hoffman, Robert L.
Abstract:: Although nearshore macroinvertebrates are integral members of high mountain lentic systems, knowledge of ecological factors influencing their distributions is limited. Factors affecting distributions of nearshore macroinvertebrates were investigated, including microhabitat use and vertebrate predation, in the oligotrophic lakes of North Cascades National Park Service Complex, Washington, USA, and the conformity...
