Creator:: Sard, Nicholas M.
Abstract:: Reintroduction programs are used to re-establish species back into their historical habitat. Most reintroduction programs have failed and few papers have evaluated factors that may be important to Pacific salmon. The 158 meter tall Cougar Dam has blocked Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) from accessing 40 kilometers of historical spawning and...

Creator:: Bellinger, M. Renee
Abstract:: Substantial scientific investment has been directed towards understanding factors that influence distribution patterns and animals' remarkable ability for precise orientation and navigation, yet fundamental gaps in our knowledge remain. In my dissertation, I applied emerging genetic technologies to conduct a top-down and bottom-up investigation of animal movement and cue perception....

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...

Creator:: Redding, Joseph Michael
Abstract:: Freshwater (FW) and seawater (SW) acclimated yearling coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, were subjected to severe confinement stress in FW, SW, or a medium (1/3 SW) that was approximately isosmotic to the fish's blood. Chronic stress caused osmotic imbalances in FW and SW, but not in 1/3 SW. In SW, blood...

Creator:: Jetti, Rajesh R.
Abstract:: Five genotypes from California (Ventana, Caniarosa, San Miguel, 13G97, and Venice) and Oregon (Totem, Puget Reliance, Puget Summer, Hood and Independence) were evaluated for quality. The volatile compounds were analyzed using head space solid phase micro extraction-gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GGFID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Odor activity values of...
