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...

Linking Moral Obligations, Assumption-based Research, and Structured Decision Making to Inform Bull Trout Recovery

Creator:: Brignon, William R.
Abstract:: More than 1500 species of plants and animals in the United States are listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The U.S. Departments of Interior and Commerce are required, under Section 4(f)(1) of the ESA, to develop recovery plans for ESA-listed species under the respective agency...

Chemoreception in coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) : aspects of behavior, physiology, and toxicology

Creator:: Rehnberg, Bradley Glenn
Abstract:: Detection of L-serine and D,L-alanine by juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) was measured in a two-choice Y-trough. Threshold concentration for olfactory detection of L-serine was 10-8 M for zero-age parr, 1O-7 M for yearling parr, 10-5 M for smolts in late April-early May, and 10-6 M for smolts in June....

Sex determination in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus: gene expression, masculinization methods, and environmental effects

Creator:: Sánchez, Wilfrido M. Contreras
Abstract:: Sex differentiation in fish is a labile process that allows sex inversion in several species. The inherent capacity of fish germ cells to differentiate into oocytes or spermatocytes constitutes a key factor allowing for functional sex inversion. This thesis set out to determine the mechanism involved in steroid-induced sex differentiation...

Central control of locomotor activity in juvenile salmonids : the role of corticotropin releasing hormone in the brain

Creator:: Clements, Shaun
Abstract:: The present study investigated the neurocrine and neuroendocrine control of locomotor activity, habitat choice, social behavior, and migratory behavior in juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). This was achieved by the manipulation of three neurotransmitter systems; serotonin (5-HT), dopamine (DA), y-amino-n-butyric acid (GABA) and the neuropeptide corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). Chemicals were...

Ecological influence of bacterial kidney disease on juvenile spring chinook salmon : effects on predator avoidance ability, smoltification, and physiological responses to stress

Creator:: Mesa, Matthew G.
Abstract:: Juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were experimentally infected with Renibacterium salmoninarum (Rs), the causative agent of bacterial kidney disease (BKD), to investigate the effects of BKD on three aspects of juvenile salmonid performance: (1) predator avoidance ability; (2) smoltification; and (3) physiological responses to stress. For these experiments, fish with...

Distribution and movements of Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, returning to the Yukon River basin

Creator:: Eiler, John H.
Abstract:: Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, returning to the Yukon River basin and other large river systems in western Alaska have declined dramatically since the late 1990s. This continuing trend has raised concerns over the future status of the returns, and severely impacted commercial and subsistence fisheries within the drainage. Management is...

Cortisol and the immune system of juvenile Pacific salmon during stress and development

Creator:: Maule, Alec G.
Abstract:: Plasma concentrations of cortisol, a glucocorticoid hormone that is immunosuppressive in mammals, increase during stress and smoltification of salmonids. There was a reduction in the ability of lymphocytes to generate antibody producing cells (APC) in vivo concurrent with increased plasma cortisol titers during smoltification of coho salmon (Oncorhvnchus kisutch). Cortisol...
