The black crappie was evaluated as a pond fish in four experimental
ponds in the Willamette Valley. Two ponds were stocked with
largemouth bass, bluegill sunfish, and black crappie (1:9:3), and
two ponds with largemouth bass and black crappie (1:3).
Total biomass was greatest in the three-species ponds (80 kg/...
The individual stocks of sockeye salmon that make up the
annual spawning migration to the Bristol Bay region of Western
Alaska are produced in the lakes and streams of ten major river
systems, which discharge into the bay over a shoreline distance of
120 miles. The hypothesis adopted in this...
Aspects of the limnology and benthic ecology of Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, are described emphasizing those features that identify its uniqueness. The lake is large, shallow, and characterized by nuisance abundances of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae and midge flies. Results of this study indicate that it does not stratify and dissolved oxygen...
A theory of the origin and distribution of fishes in the Harney Basin is presented. Blitzen River, the hydrographically and ecologically isolated creeks, and the upland tributaries of Silvies River all contain populations derived from the basin's Pleistocene connection with Malheur River of the Snake system. Colonization of many streams...
