Four species of sponge from the coasts of Oregon and Washington
were studied and dissected for inhabitants and associates.
All four species differed in texture, composition, and habitat, and
likewise, the populations of associates of each species differed,
even when samples of two of these species were found adjacent to...
The acanthocephalan Echinorhynchus lageniformis Ekbaum,
1938, is a common intestinal parasite of the starry flounder, Platichthys
stellatus (Pallas), of Yaquina Bay, Lincoln Co., Oregon. Three
hundred and sixty-one flounders were examined and 146 (40.5 percent)
were found to harbor infections of E. lageniformis.
Cystacanths of E. lageniformis were found encysted...
A study was done on the zoogeography of species of oceanic
shrimp in the North Pacific from 22°N to 56°N and from 124°W to
145°E, using samples of shrimp collected from 1954 to 1969. These
collections were made during the following cruises: John R. Manning
Cruise 22, and the Hugh...
Lymnea columella snails were exposed to 3-5 newly emerged
Fasciola hepatica miracidia. The procedure insured 75-100 percent
infection of the host. Groups of 40 each exposed snails were placed
in controlled temperature containers and maintained at the following
series of temperatures: 8°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, and 35° C. Two...
The fish of Suttle Lake, Oregon, have been found to harbor
an acanthocephalan parasite, which lives attached to the mucosa of
the intestine. Between July 1961 and January 1963, several hundred of
these fish were exarnined and nearly every one was infected
with this parasite, which was identified as Neochinorhynchus...
The life cycle of a monogenean, Diclidophora sp., was studied
with special attention to the time required for developmental stages
to occur. Eggs are produced by adult worms at the rate of one every
13.5 minutes and require 32 days to hatch when incubated at 12.5°C
and 30.9‰ salinity. Rate...
The anemone Anthopleura xanthogrammica varies in color from
bright green to muddy brown. However, individuals found in caves
are white. White specimens of Anthopleura xanthogrammica collected
from dark caves along the Oregon coast were subjected to various
experiments to determine if these cave dwelling animals carried any
cells of the...
