Abstract:: C-methyltransferase (HIOMT) in chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). Various body tissues, as well as several morphological brain divisions were tested for the presence of HIOMT. Activity was found in the retina, the dorsal portion of the diencephalon, and in the pineal gland of chinook. However, the activity was significantly higher in...

Abstract:: The hypotheses to be tested in this investigation are: 1) there is a threshold level of liver lipid and glycogen content above which the health condition of hatchery-reared fish is impaired, 2) fatty and high glycogen livers impair liver function and structure, and 3) fatty and high glycogen livers increase...

Abstract:: The Willamette River Basin, Oregon, viewed in terms of a cultural-ecological system, has been subject to three phases of cultural development: hunting and gathering, agrarian, and industrial-urban. Each population base has employed a technology to exploit the environment to the extent that its patterns of culture would allow. This technology...

Abstract:: There has been no toxicologic proof that the long-term, low-level exposure of man to chlorophenothane (DDT) is linked with an increased susceptibility to toxicity or disease. Acute pretreatment of rats with 75-100 mg/kg DDT has been demonstrated to potentiate CCI₄-induced hepatotoxicity in that species (McLean and McLean, 1966). Since the...

Abstract:: Coho salmon smolts (Oncorhynchus kisutch) were transported at low and high densities. (12 and 120 g/L) for short and long periods (4 and 12 h). Because smolts can be transplanted directly to seawater, half of the fish in each treatment were transported to tanks containing seawater and half to tanks...

Creator:: Barton, Bruce Alexander
Abstract:: Genetic, ontogenetic, and environmental factors modified characteristic interrenal and glycemic responses to stress in juvenile salmonid fishes. During continuous confinement stress, plasma cortisol rose more quickly in chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, acclimated to high rather than medium or low temperatures; hyperglycemia following either acute or chronic stress was also highest...
