The adaptive significance of certain enzyme polymorphisms in steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri)

Creator:: Redding, Joseph Michael
Abstract:: Mean weights, lengths, and condition factors of three isozyme phenotypes of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme differed significantly for experimentally reared winter steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) fry. Time of emergence from the gravel was unrelated to LDH phenotype. Relative mortality of the phenotypes between eyed-egg stage and emergence was unaffected by...

Survival and behavior of juvenile steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in two small estuaries in Oregon

Creator:: Romer, Jeremy D.
Abstract:: A number of steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations are at risk throughout Oregon, including five populations that are federally listed as threatened or endangered. However, little is known about behavior and survival of these fish as they transition from freshwater to seawater. We investigated whether estuarine survival varies on a temporal...

Patterns of genetic inheritance and variation through ontogeny for hatchery and wild stocks of Chinook salmon

Creator:: Hulett, Patrick L.
Abstract:: Although differences between selective pressures in hatcheries and streams have been theorized to cause genetic divergence between hatchery and wild salmonids, evidence of this is lacking. This study was initiated to document the presence or absence of genetic change in hatchery and wild stocks by characterizing genetic traits in fish...

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...

Physiological ecology of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) rearing in fluctuating salinity environments

Creator:: Hackmann, Crystal R.
Abstract:: Estuaries provide juvenile salmonids with highly productive feeding grounds, refugia from tidal fluctuations and predators, and acclimation areas for smoltification. However, these dynamic, fluctuating salinity environments may also be physiologically stressful to growing juvenile fish. In order to evaluate the costs and benefits of estuarine marshes to juvenile Chinook salmon,...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Phenotypic comparison of hatchery and wild coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in Oregon, Washington, and California

Creator:: Hjort, Randy Carl
Abstract:: Phenotypic similarities of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) stocks from Oregon, Washington, and California were compared using agglomerative and divisive cluster analyses. The phenotypic characters evaluated included the following: 1) the isozyme gene frequencies of transferrin and phosphoglucose isomerase; 2) the life history characters time of peak spawning and proportion of...
