Accounting for the Effects of Fish Detectability in Fishery-independent Surveys

Creator:: McLeod, Montana
Abstract:: In recent years, there has been an increase in episodic coastal hypoxia along the mid to inner-shelf waters off the Oregon Coast. Wind-driven coastal upwelling events can exacerbate the magnitude of these hypoxic events, causing extremely hypoxic bottom water (<0.5ml l-1 dissolved oxygen) to move onshore towards the inner shelf....

Characterizing Microplastic Ingestion in Black Rockfish (Sebastes melanops) along the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Lasdin, Katherine S.
Abstract:: Microplastics (<5mm diameter) are present in a considerable number of marine and aquatic species. Understanding which species, the global spatial distribution, and what quantities of microplastics are present is extremely important for understanding the potential impacts they could have on recreationally important organisms and for the assessment of risk. We...

Catch per Unit Effort Associated with Species Regulation Changes in Recreational Fisheries Management

Creator:: Frink, Ashley M.
Abstract:: Recreational fisheries regulations at the state level along the US Atlantic coast are constantly changing to ensure the sustainability of marine fish populations. It is hypothesized that effective management of recreational fishing effort should have a positive impact on fish stocks. Using recreational catch per unit effort (CPUE) as a...

Full Text:: numerous suggestions and edits. I would also like to thank Scott Heppell and Brent Steel, my committee

Effects of Synchronous Low Flow and Temperature Maxima on Coastal Cutthroat Trout and Coastal Giant Salamander: An Experimental Approach

Creator:: Tinoco Pickens, Francisco Andrew
Abstract:: As regional climates warm in the Pacific Northwest, USA, flow minima and temperature maxima may become more synchronous in headwater streams over time. The dual stresses from lower flows and warmer temperatures will be energetically costly for cold-water species such as Coastal Cutthroat Trout and Coastal Giant Salamander. Individual fates...

Fish for the Future: Fisheries Conservation Developments and Lessons Learned from Squaxin Tribal, and Washington State, Salmon Fisheries Management

Creator:: Peters, Joseph C.
Abstract:: Washington State fisheries and Washington State Treaty Tribes are becoming increasingly restricted in harvest of wild salmon due to US Endangered Species Act listings of salmon species, marine mammal predation by both ESA listed Southern Resident Killer Whale (SRKW) and US Marine Mammal Protection Act protected pinnipeds, salmon habitat destruction,...

Physical Climate Variables Associated with California Current Large Marine Ecosystem and Implications in Recreational Fisheries Management

Creator:: Miller, Tiffany A.
Abstract:: Climate variations within the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME) have impacts on marine fish populations. It is proposed that these impacts will be reflected in recreational fishing catches which is explored in this study. A Pearson correlation analysis compares data from El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events and upwelling...

Reef Microbiomes of Mo'orea, French Polynesia, a Socio-Ecological Island System

Creator:: McConnell, Kaitlin M.
Abstract:: At a time of rapid global change, a socio-ecological system (SES) approach can provide a framework through which to quantify and communicate the risks and uncertainties of coupled human-natural systems. Islands, and tropical coral reef islands in particular, can be excellent models for SES research since they may be considered...

A policy perspective on the emergence and fate of the US Rockfish Conservation Areas

Creator:: Spahr, Alexandra J.
Abstract:: Rockfish Conservation Areas (RCAs) are large areas closed to fishing in federal waters off the Washington, Oregon and California coasts. The Pacific Fisheries Management Council (PFMC) was responsible for the creation and regulation of the RCAs. The RCA boundaries were defined in 2002 to rebuild rockfish species declared as overfished...

On the road to sustainability : Assessing Belize's fisheries management reform using a multiscalar governance approach

Creator:: Wade, Eric A.
Abstract:: The management of small-scale fisheries (SSF) around the world is facing increasing demands for reformation given ecological, social, and economic vulnerabilities. The governance of SSF is particularly important to foster the sustainability of these systems given that it combines regulatory instruments, interactive participation of diverse stakeholders, and the guiding values...

On the Edge : Assessing Fish Habitat Use Across the Boundary between Pacific Oyster Aquaculture and Eelgrass in Willapa Bay, WA

Creator:: Muething, Kelly A.
Abstract:: Estuaries are an important ecological link between terrestrial, freshwater, and marine systems, but are also subject to a variety of human pressures. Along the West Coast of the United States, shellfish aquaculture is one extensive use of estuarine tidelands. Specifically, Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) aquaculture has been practiced for almost...
