Changes in size and age at maturity of Columbia River upriver bright fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) : implications for stock fitness, commercial value, and management

Creator:: Beaty, Roy E.
Abstract:: The average size and age of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) caught in commercial fisheries along the Pacific Coast of North America have decreased substantially in this century. These declines might be caused in part by changes in size and age at maturity within the stocks contributing to those fisheries. Upriver...

Social interaction between juvenile coho and fall chinook salmon in Sixes River, Oregon

Creator:: Stein, Roy A.
Abstract:: The nature of the interaction between juvenile coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch (Walbaum), and fall chinook salmon, 0. tshawytscha (Walbaum), was studied in Sixes River, Oregon. Seining, snorkeling, and tagging were used to determine distribution and patterns of growth of these two species in the stream environment. Experiments conducted in flowing-water...

Hydrologic and vegetation responses associated with restoration of wetlands in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Coleman, Gregory A.
Abstract:: I examined hydrological and plant community changes associated with the implementation of a restoration management plan in two riparian meadows located within an agricultural landscape of the central Willamette Valley, Oregon. I established exclosure fencing (a form of passive restoration) in one agricultural field and established fencing and plugged a...

Virulence characteristics of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) in brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis, fry

Creator:: Maret, Joseph J.
Abstract:: Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is an acute, contagious disease of trout fry and fingerlings caused by viruses of the family birnaviridae. IPN disease usually results in mortality that is inversely proportional to the age of the fish. While many studies have been carried out to increase our understanding of IPN,...

Distribution and habitat use of bull trout following the removal of nonnative brook trout

Creator:: Renner, Dirk
Abstract:: Invasion by nonnative brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) often results in replacement of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in western North America, but the causal mechanisms are not well understood. Removal of brook trout from 1992 to 2000 from Sun Creek in southern Oregon, provided an opportunity to investigate the changes in...

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...

Potential for dispersal of the non-native parasite Myxobolus cerebralis : qualitative risk assessments for the state of Alaska and the Willamette River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Arsan, E. Leyla
Abstract:: First introduced to the USA in 1958, Myxobolus cerebralis, the parasite responsible for whirling disease in salmonids, has since spread across the country causing severe declines in wild trout populations in the intermountain west. Recent development of risk assessment models used to assess the likelihood and consequences of exotic parasite...

Potential barriers to movements and habitat selection of pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis) after experimental translocation

Creator:: Lawes, Timothy J. (Timothy James)
Abstract:: I assessed potential barriers to dispersal using homing tendency and investigated the movements and settlement site selection of pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis) after short distance translocations in southeastern Oregon from June – December 2008. I captured, radio marked, and translocated 59 pygmy rabbits 1-2 km across landscapes with (1) continuous...

Patterns of genetic inheritance and variation through ontogeny for hatchery and wild stocks of Chinook salmon

Creator:: Hulett, Patrick L.
Abstract:: Although differences between selective pressures in hatcheries and streams have been theorized to cause genetic divergence between hatchery and wild salmonids, evidence of this is lacking. This study was initiated to document the presence or absence of genetic change in hatchery and wild stocks by characterizing genetic traits in fish...

Geographic variation in genetic and meristic characters of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki)

Creator:: Williams, Thomas Herbert
Abstract:: Understanding how populations within a species interact across various geographic and temporal scales is fundamental to developing appropriate conservation strategies. I examined the geographic variation in genetic and meristic characters of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) based on approximately 1,400 fish sampled from 54 populations spanning their distributional range...
