Effects of Current Hatchery Practices on Salmon Odor Recognition and Responses

Creator:: Lemanski, Joseph R.
Abstract:: Salmon hatcheries have been utilized throughout the Pacific Northwest for many decades to mitigate losses, supplement natural spawning populations, and to provide tribal, sport and commercial fishing opportunities. Currently, there is substantial debate on their efficacy and the potential threats hatchery-reared salmonids pose to natural populations. These concerns have lead...

Factors influencing within-watershed genetic variation of coastal cutthroat trout in Camp Creek, Oregon

Creator:: Wofford, John E.B.
Abstract:: Because human land use activities often result in increased fragmentation of headwater stream habitats, a better understanding of the effects of fragmentation on the genetic heterogeneity of stream salmonids is useful for effective management. We used eight microsatellites to examine the genetic structure of potamodromous coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki...

Spatial and temporal scales of genetic change in two overfished rockfishes

Creator:: Gomez-Uchida, Daniel
Abstract:: Pacific rockfishes (genus Sebastes) have attracted wide scientific and public interest from an evolutionary, fishery and conservation standpoints. This dissertation addresses several hypotheses involving spatial and temporal scales of genetic change in two overfished rockfishes, darkblotched (S. crameri) and canary rockfish (S. pinniger), using statistical analyses of genetic variation within...

Population Genetics of American Pika (Ochotona princeps) : Investigating Gene Flow and Genetic Diversity Across Multiple, Complex Landscapes

Creator:: Castillo, Jessica A.
Abstract:: American pikas (Ochotona princeps) are considered an indicator species of climate change. Adaptations for cold climates and active winters make pikas particularly sensitive to increasing temperatures. This, combined with evidence that multiple historically occupied populations have been extirpated within the past century, contributed to American pikas becoming a focal species...

Riverscape genetics of Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (Chinook salmon) in Siletz River, OR

Creator:: Davis, Chanté D.
Abstract:: Traditional analysis in population genetics evaluates differences among groups of individuals and, in some cases, considers the effects of distance or potential barriers to gene flow. However, many forces may shape genetic variation of organisms in riverine systems. Similarly complex research linking habitat heterogeneity and configuration to genetic structure has...

Genetic Connectivity of Dungeness Crab (Cancer magister) in the California Current System and Puget Sound

Creator:: Jackson, Tyler M.
Abstract:: Understanding connectivity among exploited populations is critical to their sustainable management and long-term viability. In the marine environment, estimates of connectivity often rely on the use of genetic markers, as dispersal primarily occurs during a planktonic larval phase which is difficult to track using direct methods. In this thesis, we...

Taxonomy and systematic relationships of tui chubs (Siphateles: Cyprinidae) from Oregon's Great Basin

Creator:: Remple, Stacy L.
Abstract:: There are three recognized species of Siphateles from the Great Basin; S. alvordensis, S. boraxobius and the tui chub, S. bicolor. One species, S. boraxobius, is endangered and one population of tui chub at Hutton Spring is threatened. Despite several morphological and molecular studies, the taxonomy and relationships of tui...

Early maturing males in a partially migratory population of anadromous and resident rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss: influences of individual condition and stream temperature

Creator:: McMillan, John R.
Abstract:: Alternative male phenotypes in salmonine fishes arise from individuals that mature as either larger and older anadromous marine-migrants or as smaller and younger freshwater residents. Variability in age and size of males at maturity is hypothesized to be preceded by early differences in growth in size and lipid storage. Water...

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...

An Integrated Approach to the Investigation of Age, Growth and Population Dynamics of Burrowing Thalassinidean Shrimps in a U.S. West Coast Estuary

Creator:: Bosley, Katelyn Marie
Abstract:: Two indigenous species of burrowing shrimp inhabit and often dominate the intertidal zone of estuaries along the US West Coast, the ghost shrimp, Neotrypaea californiensis, and the blue mud shrimp, Upogebia pugettensis. Both species are considered ecosystem engineers and play a role in maintaining estuarine health and ecosystem function. They...
