Behavioral and physiological indicators of stress in sablefish, Anoplopoma fimbria

Creator:: Spencer, Mara L.
Abstract:: The development of assays for stress in marine fishes is vital for studying the impacts of bycatch in fisheries and for determining the health of fish being cultured or used in research. This research developed behavioral and physiological assays for stress in juvenile sablefish, Anoplopoma fimbria, a species that comprises...

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...

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....

Cool, pathogen free refuge lowers pathogen associated prespawn mortality of Willamette River Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: Benda, Susan
Abstract:: Spring Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, are transported above dams in the Willamette River to provide access to blocked spawning habitat. However, 30-95% of these transplants may die before spawning in some years. To varying degrees, salmon in other tributaries--both blocked and unblocked--have similar prespawn mortality (PSM). Our study determined if...

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...

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...

Early development of the endocrine system in salmonids : regulation of sex differentiation and ontogeny of the stress response

Creator:: Floyd, Donald J.
Abstract:: Sex steroids, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) were measured in monosex and mixed sex populations of rainbow trout during early development. Steroids declined following fertilization, increased at hatch, then fell and remained constant thereafter. Trends toward differences in steroids between males and females...

Early self-sorting behavior in Chinook salmon is correlated with variation in growth, behavior and morphology later in life.

Creator:: Unrein, Julia R.
Abstract:: Juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) exhibit an array of life history tactics in Oregon's Willamette River Basin, yet we do not know to what extent it is driven by phenotypic plasticity or whether it is predetermined and how conditions in the early rearing environment may affect phenotype expression. We have...

Effects of atrazine on olfactory-mediated behaviors in Pacific lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus)

Creator:: Smith, April G.
Abstract:: Pacific lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) are experiencing population declines throughout their range. Xenobiotics could be an important risk factor for lamprey populations. Our goal was to establish if common herbicides, as used in forest management, could affect reproductive fitness. We determined that atrazine was a likely compound of greatest concern to...

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...
