Spatial and temporal characteristics of bottom-trawl fish assemblages of the continental shelf and upper slope of the Pacific Coast of the United States, 1977-1992

Creator:: Jay, Chadwick V.
Abstract:: Twenty-three bottom-trawl fish assemblages were identified from the relative biomass of 33 dominant species that occurred in the National Marine Fisheries Services' triennial trawl surveys over the continental shelf and upper slope off California, Oregon, and Washington from 1977 to 1992. The assemblages accounted for about 70% of the total...

Feeding Ecology and Growth of Juvenile Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) During Early Marine Residence

Creator:: Litz, Marisa Norma Chantal
Abstract:: The early marine phase following freshwater emigration has been identified as a critical period in salmonid (Oncorhynchus spp.) life history, characterized by high but variable mortality. Consistent with the “growth-mortality” and “bigger-is-better” hypotheses, at least some of the mortality during the critical period appears to be size-dependent – with smaller...

Phylogenetics, Biogeography, Morphological Variation, and Taxonomic Revision of Sandelia capensis (Cuvier 1829) (Anabantiformes: Anabantidae), a Freshwater Fish from the Coastal Streams of the Cape Region, South Africa

Creator:: Bronaugh, Whitcomb Meade
Abstract:: Accumulating human impacts on freshwater ecosystems have created a biodiversity crisis for freshwater fishes while conservation efficacy remains hampered by the Linnaean shortfall, the ignorance of many species that have yet to be discovered and described. The past discovery of most freshwater fish species was simply a matter of collecting...

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...

The Effects of Tank Structure and Egg Size on the Production of Wild Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Surrogate Fish

Creator:: Self, Katharine E.
Abstract:: One of the biggest hurdles for a juvenile salmonid (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is migrating downstream from freshwater spawning grounds to the ocean. Juveniles from wild broodstock were reared from the South Santiam River for more than 1 year at the Oregon Hatchery Research Center (OHRC) in Alsea, OR. The fish were...

Managing adult hatchery summer steelhead for a recreational fishery with reduced hatchery and wild interactions

Creator:: Schemmel, Eva M.
Abstract:: Hatcheries whose purpose is to provide for a recreational fishery must minimize impacts on wild fishes. Management to reduce hatchery and wild interactions is especially important on river systems that contain Endangered Species Act (ESA) listed species. I examined adult hatchery summer steelhead, Oncorhynchus mykiss, behavior, current management and a...

Effects of bark debris on benthic macro-fauna of Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Walker, John David
Abstract:: Benthic samples were collected during the summer, winter and spring seasons from upper Yaquina Estuary, a region used by Georgia- Pacific Corporation for log dumping and storage. Samples came from an active log dump and storage areas as well as areas not associated with log handling activity. The samples were...

Evaluating the Ecological Trade-Offs of Riparian Thinning for Stream Ecosystems in Second-Growth Redwood Forests of Northern California

Creator:: Roon, David A.
Abstract:: Riparian forests provide a myriad of ecosystem functions for adjacent streams and rivers, and due to these linkages, changes in riparian forest conditions can have direct implications for stream ecosystems. Resource managers in the coast redwood forests (Sequoia sempervirens) of northern California (USA) are actively thinning second-growth stands to accelerate...

Identification of optimal broodstock for Pacific Northwest oysters

Creator:: Stick, David A.
Abstract:: The United States Pacific Northwest is well known for its shellfish farming. Historically, commercial harvests were dominated by the native Olympia oyster, Ostrea lurida, but over-exploitation, habitat degradation, and competition and predation by non-native species has drastically depleted their densities and extirpated many local populations. As a result, shellfish aquaculture...
