Factors influencing spawning migration of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in the North Fork Skokomish River, Olympic National Park, Washington

Creator:: Brenkman, Samuel J.
Abstract:: Distribution and life history characteristics of lacustrine-adfluvial bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) were described in the North Fork Skokomish River Basin (including Lake Cushman, a reservoir) from 1994 to 1996. Day snorkeling was conducted in the river to determine initiation of the bull trout spawning migration, abundance of spawners, and duration...

Habitat segregation of two ambystomatids in mountain ponds, Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Brokes, Brendan J.
Abstract:: Ambystoma macrodactylum (long-toed salamander) and A. gracile (northwestern salamander) are two common salamander species occupying key trophic positions in mountain ponds of Mount Rainier National Park. The objective of this research was to document and evaluate the distributions and abundances of the two species, relative to habitat characteristics of ponds...

Structure, abundance, and distribution of pelagic zooplankton in a deep, oligotrophic Caldera Lake

Creator:: Karnaugh, Elena N.
Abstract:: From July 1985 to April 1987 the pelagic zooplankton community of Crater Lake, Oregon was studied to determine taxonomic structure, absolute and relative densities, and spatial and temporal distributional patterns. Samples were collected using vertically-towed zooplankton nets. The community structure consisted of two cladoceran and nine rotifer species, which were...

The species composition, density, and distribution of the littoral zooplankton assemblage in Crater Lake, Oregon

Creator:: Warncke, William Madara
Abstract:: The species compositions and densities of the littoral and pelagic zooplankton assemblages in Crater Lake were compared. The littoral and pelagic zooplankton assemblages of most lakes are typically different due to different habitat conditions in the two zones. The littoral zone of Crater Lake lacks many of the habitat characteristics,...

Benthic macroinvertebrates and sediment characteristics of a coastal dune margin lake (Carter Lake, Douglas County, Oregon)

Creator:: Wones, Andrew G.
Abstract:: Carter Lake, a freshwater, coastal dune-margin lake, was sampled at the beginning and end of the summer of 1986 to determine the sediment characteristics and benthic macroinvertebrate abundance, biomass, variety, and diversity. The distributions of major benthic habitats were estimated by snorkeling in June and July, 1986. Water temperature and...

Effects of chlorinated biologically stabilized kraft mill effluent on the mortality and growth of Coho salmon

Creator:: Steil, Deborah L.
Abstract:: Ninety-six hour acute toxicity bioassays were employed to determine the tolerance of juvenile coho salmon to chlorinated stabilized kraft mill effluent (SKME). In addition the effect of chlorinated SKME on the growth of juvenile coho salmon in six and ten day experiments was studied. Results of the acute toxicity tests...

Responses to fertilization and fish stocking in the pelagic ecosystem of a naturally fishless lake

Creator:: Cameron, William A.
Abstract:: Ecologists have studied the responses of pelagic ecosystems to varying levels of nutrient loading and fish predation on many different scales ranging from small experimental enclosures to whole lake systems. There are recurring patterns of response to these two variables, which are generally predictable on the basis of biogeographic, behavioral,...

Ecology of kokanee salmon and rainbow trout in Crater Lake, a deep ultraoligotrophic caldera lake (Oregon)

Creator:: Buktenica, Mark W.
Abstract:: Crater Lake, originally barren of fish, was stocked on an irregular basis from 1888 through 1941 with several species of salmonids. Two species occur in the lake today--kokanee salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) and rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). This study was initiated in the summer of 1986 to evaluate the ecology of...

Effects of hydrology on zooplankton communities in high mountain ponds, Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Girdner, Scott F.
Abstract:: Ten high mountain ponds in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington State, were studied from June through September 1992 to investigate the influences of fluctuating pond volumes on zooplankton communities. A temporary pond of short wet phase duration was inhabited by zooplankton taxa with short generation times and a crustacean taxa...

Ecological implications of trout introductions to lakes of the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness, Idaho

Creator:: Bahls, Peter F.
Abstract:: The widespread introduction of trout to naturally fishless mountain lakes in the western United States has been accompanied by little research. The ecological role of trout populations occurring in 91 lakes of the central Selway Bitterroot Wilderness, Idaho, was examined with respect to 1) the sampling variability of biological and...
