Genomics of migration : from marine distributions of salmonids to mechanisms of olfactory and magnetic cue perception for natal homing

Creator:: Bellinger, M. Renee
Abstract:: Substantial scientific investment has been directed towards understanding factors that influence distribution patterns and animals' remarkable ability for precise orientation and navigation, yet fundamental gaps in our knowledge remain. In my dissertation, I applied emerging genetic technologies to conduct a top-down and bottom-up investigation of animal movement and cue perception....

Patterns of natural selection and demography in coastal Oregon coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) populations : evidence from neutral and olfactory receptor gene-linked markers

Creator:: Johnson, Marc Aaron
Abstract:: For Pacific salmon, the evolution of local adaptations depends upon the species' propensity to return, or "home", to natal streams at time of reproduction. Pacific salmon use olfactory cues to guide homing behavior, yet little is known about the genetics of olfaction in salmon. In this study, I use putatively...

All in a DNA's work : conservation genetics and monitoring of the New Zealand endemic Maui's and Hector's dolphins

Creator:: Hamner, Rebecca Marie
Abstract:: The critically endangered Maui's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori maui) and the endangered Hector's dolphin (C. h. hectori) are endemic to the coastal waters of New Zealand, where their primary threat is fisheries-related mortality. The Maui's dolphin is among the most critically endangered cetaceans in the world, with its remnant population primarily...

Effects of sampling design, estimators, and variability on groundfish management in Oregon

Creator:: Crone, Paul R. Jr
Abstract:: Sampling error associated with estimates of species composition and age composition of commercial groundfish landings in Oregon from 1989 to 1991 is documented to evaluate the impact of variable landing data on fisheries management and monitoring programs. The statistical reliability and bias associated with two multistage sampling designs are investigated...

Using parasite community data and population genetics for assessing Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax) population structure along the west coast of North America

Creator:: Baldwin, Rebecca E. B.
Abstract:: Pacific sardines (Sardinops sagax) are an economically and ecologically important forage fish which transfer energy from planktonic primary producers and secondary consumers to upper trophic predators. Previous genetics studies of Pacific sardine suggested a panmictic population with a shallow genetic structure. However, more than one subpopulation within the Central California...

Evaluating the Efficacy of Predicting Bycatch Mortality Using Reflex Impairment through an Assessment of Crab Discards

Creator:: Yochum, Noëlle
Abstract:: All animals that interact with fishing gear are not necessarily captured, and all animals that are captured are not necessarily retained. Fishing practices and gear configuration, management regulations, and markets dictate which animals ultimately are retained or discarded. The impact of a fishery and the efficacy of management regulations can...

Identification of candidate genes for survival and their use in predicting field performance of Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas families in coastal waters

Creator:: Lang, Robert Paul
Abstract:: Summer mortality of farmed Pacific oysters causes financial losses for shellfish growers, and selective breeding to improve survival of offspring is a promising way to reduce losses. This dissertation has two objectives to assist the development of tools for use in selective breeding programs. Objective 1: Identify candidate genes for...

Genetic patterns of demography and diversity in eastern North Pacific rockfishes (genus Sebastes)

Creator:: Johansson, Mattias L.
Abstract:: The 100 North Pacific rockfish species in the genus Sebastes are highly diverse. Rockfishes fertilize their eggs internally and release swimming larvae. Complex courting behaviors may allow female rockfish to be selective about their mates and may promote and maintain speciation. In this study, I applied genetic techniques to survey...

Enrichment of Live Prey with Microparticles for the Enhanced Delivery of Water-soluble Nutrients to Marine Fish Larvae

Creator:: Hawkyard, Donald Matthew
Abstract:: In the wild, marine fish larvae feed on copepods and other planktonic organisms. Copepods are often considered the "gold standard" for meeting the nutritional needs of cultured marine fish larvae; however, in captivity, marine fish larvae are generally fed cultured live prey, i.e. rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis) and/or Artemia sp., until...

Investigating Demographic and Evolutionary Factors Important for Fish Reintroduction

Creator:: Sard, Nicholas M.
Abstract:: Reintroduction programs are used to re-establish species back into their historical habitat. Most reintroduction programs have failed and few papers have evaluated factors that may be important to Pacific salmon. The 158 meter tall Cougar Dam has blocked Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) from accessing 40 kilometers of historical spawning and...
