Influences of environmental acidification on salmonid reproduction

Creator:: Weiner, Gary S.
Abstract:: Reproduction of salmonid fishes in acidic water was studied using the rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). Adult trout were exposed to various levels of hydrogen ion (pH levels 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, and control [6.5 to 7.1]) during the final 6 weeks of reproductive maturation. Reduced survival rates of the progeny of...

A macroscopic to microscopic study of the effects of barotrauma and the potential for long-term survival in Pacific rockfish

Creator:: Pribyl, Alena L.
Abstract:: Depleted species of rockfish (Sebastes spp.) from the Northeast Pacific experience high discard mortality due to "barotrauma," induced from the rapid change in pressure during capture. Research suggests rockfish have the potential to survive barotrauma if immediately recompressed, but the potential for long-term recovery is unknown. In this project, we...

Effects of stress on the reproductive performance and physiology of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Contreras Sánches, Wilfrido M.
Abstract:: The environment under which fish are maintained as broodstock before reproduction is often stressful; however, the impact of stress on broodstock and gamete quality is not well known. We investigated the effects of stress over the final stages (i.e. the 3 months preceding ovulation) of sexual maturation of female rainbow...

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...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: similar between fish with moderate to high BKD and those that had low or no detectable infection. Fish

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...

Effects of steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) on chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha) behavior and physiology

Creator:: Kelsey, Denise A.
Abstract:: Three experiments were designed to determine if and how steelhead trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, may affect chinook salmon, O. tshawytscha, when they are confined together as in a raceway or on a barge. We observed groups of chinook and steelhead together and groups of only chinook in a behavioral experiment to...

The Impact of Parasitic Copepod Salmincola Californiensis on Swimming Ability & Oxidative Burst Activity in Response to Stress in Juvenile Chinook Salmon

Creator:: Herron-Seeley, Crystal L.
Abstract:: Juvenile Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) have a finite amount of energy that they can use to move from their riverine habitat to their oceanic habitat. Fish in the Willamette River Basin are prevented from moving to the ocean easily by dams which create reservoirs, where they reside for up to...

Sex steroid profiles of coho salmon, Oncorhynchus Kisutch, during early development and sexual differentiation

Creator:: Feist, Grant
Abstract:: Whole body sex steroid levels of coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, were measured via radioimmunoassay during early development and sexual differentiation. Steroid profiles of testosterone (T), 11-ketotestosterone (KT) , androstenedione (A), progesterone (P4) , 17β, -hydroxy- 20β -dihydroprogesterone (DHP) , and 17β -estradiol (E2) were generated beginning with unfertilized eggs and...

The use of molecular biological methods to assess the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals and natural hormones on growth in the sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus)

Creator:: Knoebl, Iris
Abstract:: The work presented in this dissertation examines possible modes of action for growth inhibition by anthropogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) as well as endogenous hormones associated with growth in fish. Using the sheepshead minnow (SHM) (Cyprinodon variegatus) as a model, I developed methods to examine perturbations in the endocrine axis...

Habitat selection of hatchery and wild juvenile salmonids in Eagle Creek Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Brignon, William R.
Abstract:: To best manage Eagle Creek National Fish Hatchery and minimize any negative impacts that the current hatchery program may be having on Endangered Species Act-listed salmonids in the Eagle Creek Basin, I determined if wild fish are being displaced from preferred habitats by hatchery salmonids Oncorhynchus spp. This thesis had...
