Fish and invertebrate distribution at multiple scales in Thomas Creek, Oregon : a transition from conifer uplands to agricultural lowlands

Creator:: Langshaw, Russell B.
Abstract:: Longitudinal patterns of fish and benthic invertebrate distribution and habitat use were similar in Thomas Creek, Oregon but clarity of these patterns differed. I studied fish and aquatic invertebrates simultaneously, at multiple scales, and used multivariate statistical techniques to compare responses to the same environmental conditions. Both types of organisms...

Lotic macroinvertebrate distribution patterns in northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Gerth, William J.
Abstract:: This study was an investigation of lotic macroinvertebrate distribution in northeastern Oregon at two different spatial and biological scales. Examination of assemblages at a limited spatial scale revealed relationships with natural and disturbance gradients and led to questions about distribution of a population at broader spatial scales. In a 16...

Feeding behavior and diet of native bull trout Salvelinus confluentus and introduced brook trout S. fontinalis in two Eastern Oregon streams

Creator:: Gunckel, Stephanie L.
Abstract:: One of the greatest threats to native bull trout Salvelinus confluentus populations is the presence of non-native brook trout S. fontinalis. This study, conducted in two second-order Eastern Oregon streams, investigates the effect of brook trout on the feeding behavior arid diet of bull trout. Feeding behavior, microhabitat use, and...

Fish assemblage organization in the Amazon River floodplain : species richness, spatial distribution and recruitment processes

Creator:: Petry, Paulo
Abstract:: The composition and distribution of fish assemblages was examined in a floodplain lake system in the Amazon basin. Quantitative samples were collected during the 1992-1993 flooding season at Marchantaria Island, Solimoes River. A total of 25,819 specimens representing 8 orders, 30 families, 101 genera and 139 species of fish were...

Energy utilization by young grass carp fed different diets

Creator:: Cai, Zhengwei
Abstract:: Effects of diet on food energy utilization by grass carp fed aquatic plants or formulated diets with varied lipid sources and levels are presented in three manuscripts. Significant effects of diet on food consumption, digestion, growth and muscle fatty acid (FA) composition of fingerling diploid grass carp fed aquatic macrophytes...

The effect of landscape topography and in-stream habitat on the distribution, growth, and survival of Lahontan cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi) in a high desert watershed

Creator:: Boxall, George D.
Abstract:: Lahontan cutthroat trout (LCT) (Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi) are currently limited in their distribution to a patchwork of small isolated populations, the result of habitat degradation and natural variation in landscape and in-stream conditions. The objectives of this study were to determine how landscape level topographic features influence LCT distribution patterns....

From continua to patches : longitudinal patterns in the Middle Fork of the John Day River, Oregon

Creator:: Wright, Kristopher Keith
Abstract:: The Middle Fork John Day River is composed of low gradient, alluvial valley segments separated by constrained, canyon-like reaches, and has a history of multiple land-uses. These factors can alter the physical and biological structure of streams, and disrupt the longitudinal river continuum. I examined habitat, fish, macroinvertebrates, and primary...

Migratory behavior and passage of redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in the Donner und Blitzen River, Oregon

Creator:: Anderson, Matthew C.
Abstract:: Salmonids in arid high-elevation streams find themselves at the fringe of their tolerance range. Under the conditions they endure in such environments, long-distance migratory movements among widely dispersed habitats may be an important mechanism for some fish to persist, and even thrive. The Donner und Blitzen (Blitzen) River redband trout...

Ecological relation of sympatric steelhead and resident rainbow trout in the Deschutes River, Oregon

Creator:: Zimmerman, Christian E.
Abstract:: Sympatric steelhead and resident rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are known to exist in many rivers throughout the Pacific Rim. Whether sympatric steelhead and resident rainbow trout are polymorphisms within a single gene pool or two reproductively isolated populations has significant implications concerning the study and conservation of this polytypic species....

Patterns of retention and vagrancy in larval Lost River and shortnose suckers from Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon

Creator:: Reithel, Susan A.
Abstract:: Larval transport and retention of two endangered suckers were studied in a highly altered lacustrine/riverine complex. The endangered populations of Lost River sucker, Deltistes luxatus, and shortnose sucker, Chasmistes brevirostris, in Upper Klamath Lake (UKL), Oregon are the largest remnant populations of these suckers. Downstream of UKL, the Keno Impoundment...
