All in a DNA's work : conservation genetics and monitoring of the New Zealand endemic Maui's and Hector's dolphins

Creator:: Hamner, Rebecca Marie
Abstract:: The critically endangered Maui's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori maui) and the endangered Hector's dolphin (C. h. hectori) are endemic to the coastal waters of New Zealand, where their primary threat is fisheries-related mortality. The Maui's dolphin is among the most critically endangered cetaceans in the world, with its remnant population primarily...

Integrating fleets, markets and ocean dynamics : a bioeconomic analysis of the Oregon ocean shrimp fishery

Creator:: Gallagher, Charmaine Marie
Abstract:: Questions relating to economic performance, biological conservation and variation in resource abundance and harvest of ocean shrimp have led to increasing pressure for management action. Developing effective management policies for this highly variable resource requires a comprehensive understanding of the fishery and marine processes. Important factors in understanding the fishery...

Exposure of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus lisutch) to petroleum hydrocarbons : effect on lipid metabolism and aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity

Creator:: Caldarone, Elaine Marie
Abstract:: Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) were exposed to sublethal levels of a water-soluble fraction (WSF) of Cook Inlet crude oil for periods ranging from 18 to 31 days, at four acclimation temperatures. The fatty acid composition of phospholipids extracted from muscle, gill, liver, and brain tissues, and, at three of the...

Factors associated with dusky Canada goose nesting and nest success on artificial nest islands of the western Copper River Delta

Creator:: Maggiulli, Nicole Marie
Abstract:: The population of dusky Canada geese (Branta canadensis occidentalis; hereafter, dusky geese) nesting on the western Copper River Delta (CRD) in south- central Alaska has been in decline since the late 1970s. In an effort to alleviate mammalian predation, increase nest success, and avoid a listing under the U.S. Endangered...

The effect of chronic exposure of chinook salmon to benzo(a)pyrene and cortisol of CYP1A1 induction and susceptibility to a microsporidian parasite, Loma salmonae

Creator:: Marie, Amarisa
Abstract:: Wild populations of fish are faced with a multitude of stressors, which may include human interaction, toxins, and disease. Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), a known carcinogen and immunotoxin, has been reported in the stomach contents of juvenile chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, in urban waterways. We investigated the impact of chronic dietary exposure...

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...

Wavelet analysis : linking multi-scalar pattern detection to ecological monitoring

Creator:: Anthony, Jill Ada Marie
Abstract:: Wavelet analysis is an analytical and modeling tool for optimizing sampling efficiency and accuracy, particularly in the context of designing long-term, large-scale monitoring plans. As a pattern analysis method that accommodates and preserves non-stationarity, wavelet analysis provides novel visualization and analytical capabilities for increased insight into interactions between multi-scalar heterogeneous...

Distribution of juvenile salmonids and stream habitat relative to 15-year-old debris-flow deposits in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Kirkby, Kristen-Marie S.
Abstract:: Debris flows, common disturbances in many mountainous areas, initially scour or bury stream habitats; however, debris flows deliver vast amounts of wood, boulders, and gravel that may ultimately form complex stream habitat to potentially support a diverse salmonid assemblage. The materials deposited by debris flows would otherwise be inaccessible to...

Impacts of earlier emerging steelhead fry of hatchery origin on the social structure, distribution, and growth of wild steelhead fry

Creator:: Noble, Sandra M. (Sandra Marie)
Abstract:: Newly emerged steelhead fry (Oncorhynchus mvkiss) of hatchery and wild origins were studied in laboratory stream channels and natural streams. Objectives of the study were to determine if and how earlier emerging hatchery fry influence the emigration, realized densities, growth, habitat use, social structure, and activity patterns of localized populations...
