Genetics of the Pacific oyster ; biological and economic implications

Creator:: Lannan, James E.
Abstract:: Variances among individuals within populations are influenced by environmental and genetic factors. Utilizing quantitative genetic theory, environmental and genetic components of variance have been compartmented for a variety of quantitative characters of the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas. A significant genetic component of variance in a quantitative attribute related to reproductive...

Geographic variation in timing of fry emergence and smolt migration of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)

Creator:: Spence, Brian C.
Abstract:: The timing of two events in the early life history of coho salmon--emergence from the gravel and entry into the ocean--is presumed to have evolved to ensure maximum survival during these transition periods. Anthropogenic disturbances may disrupt the timing of these events to the detriment of salmon populations. Multivariate analyses...

Patterns of interactive segregation in three species of sculpins (Cottus) in western Oregon

Creator:: Finger, Terry Richard
Abstract:: Species interactions and their effect on the use of habitat by benthic fishes were examined in a guild composed of Cottus perplexus, C. rhotheus, and C. beldingi in the Marys River above Philomath, Oregon, and in a constant environment provided by an artificial stream. In the Marys River system, the...

Analysis of a ³²P material balance method for measuring periphyton production in flowing water

Creator:: Gregory, Stanley Vincent
Abstract:: The ³²P material balance method for measuring periphyton production and grazing rates on periphyton in streams developed by Elwood and Nelson (1972) was evaluated by laboratory and field experiments. Three basic assumptions of the method were examined: 1) sloughing of periphyton from substrates is negligible, 2) sorption of ³²P onto...

In search of the optimum stocking density for chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) eggs in shallow matrix substrate incubators

Creator:: Kapuscinski, Anne R.
Abstract:: Within the tested range of 1000 - 7000 eyed eggs/ft² gravel substrate (1.08 - 7.53 eggs/cm²), the optimum stocking density for chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) eggs in shallow matrix substrate incubators occurred at 3000 - 4000 eggs/ft². Premature fry, which predominated early emergence, showed greater variability in lipid content than...

The winter distribution, movement, and smolt transformation of juvenile coho salmon in an Oregon coastal stream

Creator:: Rodgers, Jeffrey D.
Abstract:: The abundance of the 1982 brood of juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) was determined in August 1983, and January and April 1984 at 20 study sites spread throughout Knowles Creek, an Oregon coastal watershed. The timing of emigration of juvenile coho from the watershed was monitored from October 1983 through...

Cryo-preservation of viable fish sperm

Creator:: Graybill, James Roger
Abstract:: Fishery researchers have attempted to preserve viable fish sperm for extended periods of time. Only limited success has been achieved with storage of spermatozoa from salmonids. The principal accomplishments of this investigation during the fiscal year 1966-1967 were the development of standard methods for the collection and evaluation of fish...

Interaction and behavior of the redside shiner (Richardsonius balteatus) and the steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) in western Oregon : the influence of water temperature

Creator:: Reeves, Gordon H.
Abstract:: Water temperature influenced interactions between redside shiners and juvenile steelhead trout (≥1+) in the field and the laboratory. Distribution of the two species within various habitats was determined in three streams with different water temperature regimes. The range of habitats occupied by trout in allopatry at cool temperatures and at...

Biochemical and serological comparison of selected Vibrio spp. isolated from fish

Creator:: Pipoppinyo, Somsak
Abstract:: Nine isolates of bacteria recovered from fish dying at marine facilities were collected from different geographic areas. The strains included: an isolate from chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) reared in net pens in New Zealand, an isolate from chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) held at a laboratory in Oregon, USA., and seven...

Characteristics of pools used by adult summer steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in the Steamboat Creek Basin, North Umpqua River, Oregon

Creator:: Baigun, Claudio Rafael Mariano
Abstract:: This study examined features of deep pool (>0.8 m mean depth) used by adult summer steelhead in Steamboat Creek (1991-1992). Steamboat Creek had a heterogenous thermal profile, with some segments exceeding preferred temperature of steelhead. Deep pools were scarce (4% of the total habitat units) and 39% of them were...
