Distribution, habitat use, and growth of juvenile Chinook salmon in the Metolius River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Lovtang, Jens C.
Abstract:: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) have been absent from their historic spawning and rearing grounds in the Metolius River Basin in central Oregon since 1968, when fish passage was terminated at the Pelton Round Butte Hydroelectric Project on the Deschutes River. Plans have been developed to reestablish passage of anadromous fish...

Multiscale assessment of thermal patterns and the distribution of chinook salmon in the John Day River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Torgersen, Christian E.
Abstract:: This study examined the distribution and behavior of adult spring chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) related to patterns of stream temperature and physical habitat at channel unit, reach, and basin-wide spatial scales in both a wilderness stream and a disturbed stream in the John Day River basin in northeastern Oregon. Thermal...

Evolution and risk in conservation of Pacific salmon

Creator:: Currens, Kenneth P.
Abstract:: Identifying appropriate units for conservation requires knowledge of evolutionary patterns and risks of managing at different geographical and genetic scales. I examined genetic diversity at different geographical scales among 11,400 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) from 243 locations in 13 major river basins throughout much of their range and among coho...

Multiscale habitat electivity and movement patterns by adult spring chinook salmon in seven river basins of northeast Oregon

Creator:: Price, David M.
Abstract:: I examined habitat electivity and movement patterns of adult spring chinook salmon at microhabitat and channel unit spatial scales, and seasonal to annual temporal scales in seven streams in the Grande Ronde, John Day, and Imnaha basins. The objective was to compare habitat use and availability among streams, channel units,...

Habitat use, movement, and life history variation of coastal cutthroat trout, Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii, in the Salmon River estuary, Oregon

Creator:: Krentz, Lisa K.
Abstract:: Anadromous coastal cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii may be highly dependent on estuaries, passing through them multiple times during their lifetime. However, few studies have investigated estuarine use by coastal cutthroat trout and it is often thought that estuaries serve primarily as migration corridors rather than rearing areas. We used...

A phenotypic comparison of thirty-eight steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations from coastal Oregon

Creator:: Hatch, Keith Martin
Abstract:: An aspect of the genetic structure of coastal Oregon steelhead was explored and found to gradually change in a north to south pattern for the allelic frequencies of several enzymes. Isocitrate dehydrogenase and superoxide dehydrogenase were the clearest examples of this pattern of variation. This pattern was most evident in...

Patterns of genetic inheritance and variation through ontogeny for hatchery and wild stocks of Chinook salmon

Creator:: Hulett, Patrick L.
Abstract:: Although differences between selective pressures in hatcheries and streams have been theorized to cause genetic divergence between hatchery and wild salmonids, evidence of this is lacking. This study was initiated to document the presence or absence of genetic change in hatchery and wild stocks by characterizing genetic traits in fish...

Benthic biological invasions in two temperate estuaries and their effects on trophic relations of native fish and community stability

Creator:: Castillo, Gonzalo C.
Abstract:: The extent of biological invasions, their role on the feeding of native fishes and their impact on community stability were investigated in Alsea Bay and Yaquina Bay, two estuaries on the central Oregon coast, USA. Most nonindigenous species (NIS) introduced in these intermediately invaded estuaries are considered byproducts of culturing...

Aspects of the early life history of juvenile salmonids in the Dungeness River Estuary

Creator:: Sather, Nichole K.
Abstract:: The decline of many Pacific salmon stocks has stimulated interest in the early life history and habitat requirements of juvenile salmon. Although estuarine habitat associations of juvenile salmon have been investigated in many coastal areas of the eastern Pacific Ocean, until recently, little was known about juvenile salmonid ecology within...

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...
