Ecological Effects of Tide Gate Upgrade or Removal: A Literature Review and Knowledge Synthesis - Final report

Creator:: Giannico, Guillermo, Souder, Jon, Tomaro, Londi, and Behan, Jeff
Abstract:: This document reports on findings, conclusions and recommendations derived from scientific literature and knowledge regarding the effectiveness of tide gate removal or upgrade in improving conditions for Oregon’s native migratory fish species, particularly salmonids, and other plant and animal species that utilize estuarine ecosystems. The project was commissioned by the...

Long Term Trends and Sources of Sound in United States Waters

Creator:: Haver, Samara M.
Abstract:: Passive acoustic monitoring is a valuable tool for observing the status of marine environments. Comparisons of underwater soundscapes over temporal and spatial scales can provide data to inform marine conservation efforts, including protection of threatened and endangered species. This dissertation utilizes passive acoustic data collected via a broadly spaced array...

California condors in the Pacific Northwest : integrating history, molecular ecology, and spatial modeling for reintroduction planning

Creator:: D'Elia, Jesse
Abstract:: Reintroduction programs are increasingly being used to save animals from extinction and aid in their recovery. The California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus), one of the most endangered birds in the world, is a remarkable example of how reintroduction programs can help rapidly increase a species' population numbers and range following a...

The Influence of Scale in a Structured Decision Making Framework for Chinook Salmon Management

Creator:: McDonnell, Kevin N.
Abstract:: The goal of my dissertation was to explore how scale influences stream restoration prioritization strategies for an anadromous species and identify influential uncertainties that exist at different scales. My objectives were to (1) produce a comprehensive review of the Chinook salmon management challenges in California’s Central Valley and identify the...

An evaluation of the effectiveness of instream structures for steelhead trout rearing habitat in the Steamboat Creek basin.

Creator:: Fontaine, Barbara L.
Abstract:: Several types of instream structures were evaluated for their potential to provide rearing habitat and to increase reach carrying capacity for steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri). Evaluation was conducted in each season over the course of 1 year. Blast pools created in bedrock glides increased the carrying capacity of stream reaches...

Conservation and spatial use analyses for the recovery of bighorn sheep in the Peninsular Ranges

Creator:: Ostermann, Stacey D.
Abstract:: The status of wild sheep in North America typifies the plight of many wildlife species in modern times: wild sheep have declined to 10-40% of their numbers during pristine times and on a global scale approximately 31% of Caprine are considered threatened or critical. As human populations and the number...

The importance of egg size for the diversity of salmonids

Creator:: Leblanc, Camille A.
Abstract:: Understanding the origin and nature of intra specific biodiversity enables us to better conserve and manage animal populations. Biological diversity is seen at different scales and for different traits such as behavior, morphology, physiology, and life history. Behavior is especially important since behavioral changes are believed to precede changes in...

A macroscopic to microscopic study of the effects of barotrauma and the potential for long-term survival in Pacific rockfish

Creator:: Pribyl, Alena L.
Abstract:: Depleted species of rockfish (Sebastes spp.) from the Northeast Pacific experience high discard mortality due to "barotrauma," induced from the rapid change in pressure during capture. Research suggests rockfish have the potential to survive barotrauma if immediately recompressed, but the potential for long-term recovery is unknown. In this project, we...

Visible Implant Elastomer (VIE) Tags for Marking Small Rainbow Trout

Creator:: Leblanc, C. A. and Noakes, D. L.
Abstract:: Being able to individually follow fish <40 mm in length is a challenge for fish research. In the present study we examined whether the use of visible implant elastomer (VIE) tags is suitable for research on first-feeding rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss raised under laboratory conditions. We assessed the effect of...

Where the Stream Meets the Road : Prioritizing Culvert Replacement for Fish Passage

Creator:: Reagan, Rachel E.
Abstract:: Streams across the world are highly fragmented due to the presence of in-stream barriers (e.g., dams and stream-road crossings), many of which restrict or block fish passage. Retrofitting or replacing these structures is a high priority for restoring habitat connectivity for native fishes and other aquatic organisms in the Pacific...
