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...

Population and behavioral responses of small mammals to silviculture and downed wood treatments in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Waldien, David L.
Abstract:: Forest managers are challenged to provide timber revenues and other resources for society while protecting and enhancing components of biodiversity that are often associated with older forests or older forest structure, such as dead wood. We examined small mammal response to timber harvest in stands 8-10 years following group-selection, two-story,...

Biological and mathematical modeling of dynamics of furunculosis in chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Ogut, Hamdi
Abstract:: A series of experiments with Aeromonas salmonicida and infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) were carried out to determine dynamics of the spread of infection in chinook salmon (1.2-1.98g) and rainbow trout (1.2-3.1g). It was found in experiments with A. salmonicida that fish infected by bath immersion became infectious at 4...

Multiscale relationships of wintering birds with riparian and wetland habitat in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R.
Abstract:: Relatively little is known about wintering bird communities in lowlands of the Pacific Northwest, yet, the condition of winter habitats potentially can pose a major constraint on bird populations. I initiated a study to determine: (1) Which avian species use lowland riparian and wetland habitats in the Willamette Valley during...

Status and habitat use of Columbian white-tailed deer in Douglas County, Oregon

Creator:: Smith, Winston Paul
Abstract:: A study conducted May 1978-December 1980 determined that the present geographic range of Columbian white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus leucurus, (CWTD) in Douglas County, Oregon encompassed 1199km2. The area was predominately a Quercus woodland community, typical of the Interior Valley Zone of western Oregon. The CWTD distribution was not contiguous throughout...

The length of residence of juvenile Fall Chinook salmon in Sixes River, Oregon

Creator:: Reimers, Paul E.
Abstract:: This study was designed to provide life history information about juvenile fall Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (Walbaum), in a small coastal river by 1) documenting the length of residence of the juveniles throughout the river, 2) exploring several factors possibly influencing their length of residence, and 3) assessing the relative...

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...

You are What, When, Where, and How you Eat : Mercury in Avian Food Webs across Multiple Spatial Scales

Creator:: Jackson, Allyson K.
Abstract:: Human alterations of landscapes take many forms, one of which is anthropogenic pollution. Mercury (Hg) is a complex contaminant because its uptake into the food web is not driven entirely by loading to the system; methylation is necessary to make Hg bioavailable and toxic to fish and wildlife. Because methylation...

Effects of maternal age on reproductive success in black rockfish, Sebastes melanops

Creator:: Bobko, Stephen J.
Abstract:: From 1996 through 1998 I collected mature female black rockfish off Oregon and examined ovaries and otoliths to estimate weekly, age-specific larval production. In all reproductive seasons, older black rockfish extruded larvae earlier in the season, followed by progressively younger fish. Each year, beginning in May, I collected young-of-the-year (YOY)...
