Waldo Lake, located in the Oregon Cascades, is
considered to be one of the most dilute lakes in the
world. Even with very low nutrient concentrations and
sparse populations of zooplankton, introduced fish in the
lake are large in size and in good condition when compared
to fish from other...
I compared hand sampling, two-pass multiple removal sampling, mark-recapture and catchability-based population estimates for the Pacific giant salamander (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) at 22 sites in 11 streams of Cascade Mountains of Oregon. Mark-recapture and catchability-based population estimates were not significantly different (p 0.86). Hand sampling and two-pass multiple removal population estimates...
Factors affecting physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of lakes
were investigated through the development of a lake-classification system for 162
lakes in North Cascades National Park Service Complex. A conceptual view of lake
development and its relationship to the expression of lake and watershed
characteristics was derived. Water quality and...
