  • Embryonic and Larval Zebrafish Bioassays for Biomedical Research : The Larval Photomotor Response Screening Assay and Phenotype

    Creator:
    Fisher, Joseph A.
    Abstract:
    Laboratories around the world are using the zebrafish model for biomedical research and conducting investigations using morphological, physiological, behavioral, and genomic endpoints. All assays provide information, but physiological and behavioral endpoints or phenotypes are a fast way to understand how an animal is responding to its environment. We investigate the...

  • Habitat relationships of native and non-native fishes of the Willamette River, Oregon

    Creator:
    Williams, Joshua E.
    Abstract:
    The Willamette River flows north between the Cascade Mountains and Coast Range of western Oregon within a 29,728-km² basin. The fish community in the geologically young basin consists of 36 native species, but introductions of non-native fishes have added 33 additional species for a total of 69 fish species. During...

  • Evaluating the data-poor fishery stock assessment method, DB-SRA

    Creator:
    Owashi, Brandon R.
    Abstract:
    Depletion-Based Stock Reduction Analysis (DB-SRA; Dick and MacCall, 2011) is a catch-only fisheries stock assessment model that has been developed to estimate an overfishing limit (OFL) in data-poor situations. DB-SRA projects the biomass trajectories of a stock by means of a catch time series and five parameters: the instantaneous, per...

  • Extending market potential of blueberries with controlled atmosphere storage

    Creator:
    Boonprasom, Pichaya
    Abstract:
    The goal of this research was to determine if controlled atmosphere (CA) storage could be used to extend the market period of fresh Pacific Northwest blueberries and to evaluate the effects different storage atmospheres have on fruit quality. Furthermore, this research also investigated heat and mass transfer characteristics during cooling...
