Life-history strategies of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) across a volcanic disturbance gradient at Mount St. Helens, Washington

Creator:: Blackman, Tara Elizabeth
Abstract:: In this study, I examine the influence of habitat gradients created by the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, Washington USA on a recently established Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) population in the Spirit Lake basin. My goal was to evaluate the responses of fish in seven streams across a volcanic...

Population structure of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) in the Muck Creek Basin, Washington

Creator:: Zimmerman, Christian E.
Abstract:: The relationship of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) populations in the Muck Creek basin, a 238 km² southern Puget Sound stream basin in western Washington, was examined using starch gel electrophoresis and meristic analysis. Coastal cutthroat trout were collected from six sites throughout the basin including tributaries, portions of...

Pool habitat characteristics and juvenile anadromous salmonids in two Oregon coastal streams

Creator:: Haapala, Deborah L.
Abstract:: Relations between the diversity of juvenile anadromous salmonids and pool features were examined in a managed and a pristine watershed in Oregon during the summer of 1990. There were no differences (p>0.05) in pool depth, velocity or pool wood volumes between streams. However, the pristine system had twice the number...

Territorial behavior in juvenile steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) : how redside shiner (Richardsonius balteatus) influence intraspecific interactions

Creator:: Tinus, Craig A.
Abstract:: Juvenile steelhead are known to associate with shiner groups, though they also compete for food. Steelhead form dominance hierarchies within cohorts and aggressively defend feeding territories against all other fish. This study focused on the differential effect of shiner competition on steelhead of different social standing. Survival of subordinate juvenile...

Effects of a 4-inch suction dredge on benthic macroinvertebrates in southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Perez, Diana H.
Abstract:: Effects of 4-inch (10.16 cm) suction dredge mining on benthic macroinvertebrates in 3rd to 4th order streams were investigated in 1996 by evaluating four mining claim operations in Althouse Creek, Sucker Creek, and Taylor Creek in southwestern Oregon's Rogue River basin. The effects were site-specific. The study showed no significant...

Geographic variation in genetic and meristic characters of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki)

Creator:: Williams, Thomas Herbert
Abstract:: Understanding how populations within a species interact across various geographic and temporal scales is fundamental to developing appropriate conservation strategies. I examined the geographic variation in genetic and meristic characters of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) based on approximately 1,400 fish sampled from 54 populations spanning their distributional range...

The influence of fall-spawning salmon on growth and production of juvenile coho salmon rearing in beaver ponds on the Copper River Delta, Alaska

Creator:: Lang, Dirk W.
Abstract:: This thesis examined the influence of fall-spawning coho salmon on the density, growth rate, body condition, and survival to outmigration of juvenile coho salmon rearing in beaver ponds on the Copper River Delta, Alaska. During the fall of 1999 and 2000 fish rearing in ponds that received spawning salmon were...

Genetic and meristic relationships of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) residing above and below barriers in two coastal basins

Creator:: Griswold, Kitty E.
Abstract:: An investigation of the genetic and meristic patterns of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) in two coastal basins, one in Oregon and one in Alaska, revealed varying degrees of differences among populations within each site. Coastal cutthroat trout collected from seven sites above and below barriers from Elk River,...

Genetic diversity in coastal cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden in Prince William Sound, Alaska

Creator:: Griswold, Kitty E.
Abstract:: Genetic diversity of two salmonid species, Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma) and coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) in Prince William Sound, Alaska were examined at multiple spatial scales with three molecular markers. Pleistocene glaciers covered what is now Prince William Sound 8,000- 12,000 years ago and both species colonized the...

Ecological relation of sympatric steelhead and resident rainbow trout in the Deschutes River, Oregon

Creator:: Zimmerman, Christian E.
Abstract:: Sympatric steelhead and resident rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are known to exist in many rivers throughout the Pacific Rim. Whether sympatric steelhead and resident rainbow trout are polymorphisms within a single gene pool or two reproductively isolated populations has significant implications concerning the study and conservation of this polytypic species....
