Anthropogenic activities associated with the status of salmon stocks in Pacific Northwest watersheds

Creator:: Mrakovcich, Karina Lorenz
Abstract:: Stocks of salmon are declining in the Pacific Northwest. Based on region-wide studies that list and categorize the status of salmon stocks (Nehlsen et al., 1991; Huntington et al., 1994; and Nawa, 1995), I analyze the watersheds where stocks of salmon spawn for several anthropogenic variables, most of which are...

Age, growth, and diet of fish in the Waldo Lake natural-cultural system

Creator:: Swets, Nicola L.
Abstract:: Waldo Lake, located in the Oregon Cascades, is considered to be one of the most dilute lakes in the world. Even with very low nutrient concentrations and sparse populations of zooplankton, introduced fish in the lake are large in size and in good condition when compared to fish from other...

An Evaluation of Collaborative Salmon Fishery Management in Prince William Sound, Alaska

Creator:: Sheridan, Thomas M.
Abstract:: Collaborative decision-making is often promoted as a means to achieve socially acceptable and enduring solutions to natural resource management issues, and one that holds promise for resolving “wicked” problems. However, success rates for implementation of collaborative recommendations are unknown. This paper explores challenges to collaborative salmon fishery management in Prince...

Seasonal floodplain wetlands as fish habitat in Oregon and Washington

Creator:: Baker, Cynthia F.
Abstract:: To begin to understand freshwater seasonal floodplain fish communities in the context of human alteration of the physical system, species introductions and wetland restoration efforts, I studied fish assemblages in fifteen seasonal floodplain wetlands within four geographic regions (coastal, upper Columbia River estuary, Puget Sound and eastern Oregon/Washington) in the...

Genetic diversity in coastal cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden in Prince William Sound, Alaska

Creator:: Griswold, Kitty E.
Abstract:: Genetic diversity of two salmonid species, Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma) and coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) in Prince William Sound, Alaska were examined at multiple spatial scales with three molecular markers. Pleistocene glaciers covered what is now Prince William Sound 8,000- 12,000 years ago and both species colonized the...

Range-use estimation and encounter probability for juvenile Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in the Prince William Sound-Kenai Fjords region of Alaska

Creator:: Meck, Stephen R.
Abstract:: Range, areas of concentrated activity, and dispersal characteristics for juvenile Steller sea lions Eumetopias jubatus in the endangered western population (west of 144° W in the Gulf of Alaska) are poorly understood. This study quantified space use by analyzing post-release telemetric tracking data from satellite transmitters externally attached to n...

Patterns of distribution, abundance, and change over time in the marine bird community of Prince William Sound, Alaska, 1989-2012

Creator:: Cushing, Daniel A.
Abstract:: Over recent decades, the marine ecosystems of Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska have experienced the concurrent effects of a major anthropogenic disturbance, the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS), and a dynamic atmospheric-oceanic environment. Studies of top marine consumers can provide insights into processes of ecosystem change. Using data collected...

Ecology of harlequin ducks in Prince William Sound, Alaska, during summer

Creator:: Dzinbal, Kenneth A.
Abstract:: Harlequin ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) were observed during the summers of 1979 and 1980 in Sawmill Bay, northeast Prince William Sound, Alaska. Harlequins were associated with a short, medium gradient, non-glacial stream (Stellar Creek) also used by salmon. Although harlequins nested along Stellar Creek, they apparently did not establish home ranges...
