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...

Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) of Oregon and Northern California: seasonal haulout abundance patterns, movements of marked juveniles, and effects of hot-iron branding on apparent survival of pups at Rogue Reef

Creator:: Scordino, Jonathan
Abstract:: The Steller Sea Lion Research Initiative was passed in 2001 to provide funding to help scientists determine causes and solutions for the population crash of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus). In response to need to understand population dynamics of Steller sea lions, NOAA Fisheries has spearheaded a large-scale, range-wide research...

The effects of different otolith ageing techniques on estimates of growth and mortality for two species of rockfishes, Sebastes pinniger and Sebastes diploproa

Creator:: Wilson, Christopher D.
Abstract:: The use of some age determination methods may result in the incorrect age structure of fish populations. This in turn may lead to incorporation of inappropriate data into models used for stock management. Otoliths are commonly used for determining the age of fishes, and ages based on the whole otoliths...

Some chronic effects of exposure to kraft mill effluent on juvenile chinook salmon

Creator:: Tokar, Erick M.
Abstract:: The effects of sublethal concentrations of kraft mill effluents (KME) on the growth, food consumption, and swimming ability of juvenile chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tschawytscha (Walbaum), were studied from February 1966 to May, 1967. The KME used in these studies was obtained from two pulp and paper mills producing paper from...

The Genetics of Larval Fitness in the Pacific Oyster: Responses to Acidified Seawater and Temporally Dynamic Selection Processes

Creator:: Durland, Evan R.
Abstract:: The Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) is one of the most economically and ecologically significant shellfish species worldwide. In the Pacific Northwest United States (PNW), the sustainability oyster stocks is increasingly threatened by ocean acidification (OA), which has had significant negative effects on the aquaculture industry in this region over the...

Experimental analysis of intra- and interspecific competitive interactions between cutthroat trout and sculpins in small streams

Creator:: Ramirez, Ben S.
Abstract:: In the Pacific Northwest ecoregion of North America, sculpins represent a major constituent of freshwater assemblages in coastal rivers. Based on their prevalence and abundance, sculpins are likely important ecologically, yet little is known of their interactions with co-occurring species, such as widely studied salmon and trout (salmonines). In this...

Natal source contributions of Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) recruits in the southeastern Bering Sea

Creator:: DiMaria, Ruth A.
Abstract:: Effective and sustainable fisheries management not only depends on identifying and defining stocks (fundamental unit of management), but also on having knowledge of factors influencing the abundance, distribution and connectivity of stocks. Population structure of Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) in the southeastern Bering Sea (EBS) remains unresolved although genetic data...

Chemical stabilization and pharmacological characterization of the venom of the lionfish, Pterois volitans

Creator:: Choromanski, Joseph Michael
Abstract:: There are well over 200 species of fishes which are known to be venomous, and which are capable of inflicting serious and potentially fatal wounds. Within this group, less than 5% have been studied even in the most preliminary manner and, to date, the basic chemical structure of even a...

Agricultural impacts on amphibian survival, growth, and distributions

Creator:: Baker, Nick J.
Abstract:: The potential impact of chemical contaminants and conservation practices on amphibians in agricultural landscapes is a key research topic globally. Amphibians represent a common group in many freshwater systems and are currently experiencing worldwide population declines. Global amphibian declines may be attributed to a number of causes, including habitat loss,...
