The Effect of Tricaine on Use of the Fluorescein Test for Detecting Skin and Corneal Ulcers in Fish

Creator:: Davis, Michael W., Stephenson, Jeana, and Noga, Edward J.
Abstract:: Fluorescein has been used for rapid and sensitive detection of fish skin and corneal ulceration. Effective use of the fluorescein test requires knowledge of conditions that might cause misleading interpretations or otherwise interfere with test reliability. Examination of fish health and the clinical workup often require tricaine as one of...

Stress and delayed mortality induced in Pacific halibut by exposure to hooking, net towing, elevated seawater temperature and air: implications for management of bycatch

Creator:: Davis, Michael W. and Olla, Bori L.
Abstract:: The extent of stress and eventual mortality in Pacific halibut Hippoglossus stenolepis that resulted from simulated capture by hooking or towing in a net, followed by abrupt exposure to warmer seawater temperature and air, were determined under laboratory conditions. Abrupt exposure to 16degreesC seawater and air after either method of...

Responses by Pacific Halibut to Air Exposure: Lack of Correspondence among Plasma Constituents and Mortality

Creator:: Davis, Michael W. and Schreck, Carl B.
Abstract:: Age-1 and age-2 Pacific halibut Hippoglossus stenolepis were exposed to a range of times in air (0-60 min) and air temperatures (10 degrees C or 16 degrees C) that simulated conditions on deck after capture to test for correspondence among responses in plasma constituents and mortality. Pacific halibut mortality generally...

Recolonization of sediment-associated microalgae and effects of estuarine infauna on microalgal production

Creator:: Davis, Michael W. and Lee II, Henry
Abstract:: Experiments were performed to determine the rate of recolonization of sediment-associated microalga and effects of infauna on microalgal biomass and production. Estuarine sediment was defaunated and transplanted to the field and the laboratory. Recolonization of sediment by flora and fauna, relative to control sediment, was measured by chlorophyll a, gross...

Production dynamics of sediment-associated algae in two Oregon estuaries

Creator:: Davis, Michael W.
Abstract:: Sediment-associated gross primary production, oxygen uptake, microalgal biomass expressed as chlorophyll a concentration, macroalgal biomass and total organic matter concentration expressed as ash-free dry weight were measured monthly at medium sand, fine sand and coarse silt sites between 0.5 m and 2.0 m above MLLW during an entire year at...

Mortality of Lingcod Towed in a Net as Related to Fish Length, Seawater Temperature, and Air Exposure: A Laboratory Bycatch Study

Creator:: Davis, Michael W. and Olla, Bori L.
Abstract:: The mortality of discarded bycatch is a critical problem in the management of fisheries worldwide. Little is known about the key principles involved in the mortality of discarded bycatch. These principles are best elaborated under controlled conditions in the laboratory where the actions and interactions of stressors found in fishing...

Impact of estuarine benthic algal production on dissolved nutrients and water quality in the Yaquina River Estuary, Oregon

Creator:: Garber, Jonathan H., Collins, John L. (John Leopold), 1948-, Davis, Michael W., Oregon State University. Water Resources Research Institute, and Geological Survey (U.S.)
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Fish Size and Exposure to Air: Potential Effects on Behavioral Impairment and Mortality Rates in Discarded Sablefish

Creator:: Davis, Michael W. and Parker, Steven J.
Abstract:: Fisheries models often assume that discarded undersized fish and target species will survive and contribute to future recruitment and yield. If smaller fish are more susceptible to capture stressors than larger fish, then the assumption that smaller discards would contribute to recruitment may not be true. We tested the hypothesis...

Effects of physical gradients on the production dynamics of sediment-associated algae

Creator:: Davis, Michael W. and McIntire, C. David
Abstract:: Sediment-associated microalgal biomass expressed as chlorophyll a concentration, total organic matter concentration expressed as ash-free dry weight, and hourly rates of net community primary production and community oxygen consumption were measured at monthly intervales at medium sand, fine sand, and silt sites between 0.5 and 2.0 m above MLLW during...

Effects of physical factors on the vertical distribution of larval walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma under controlled laboratory conditions

Creator:: Olla, Bori L. and Davis, Michael W.
Abstract:: This study examined, under controlled laboratory conditions, behavioral responses of larval walleye pollock (4 to 8 mm) to various physical factors that may potentially play a role in vertical movements and distribution. Diel periodicity in vertical distribution was evident and appeared to be under exogenous control. During the day, with...

Comparison of Predator Avoidance Capabilities with Corticosteroid Levels Induced by Stress in Juvenile Coho Salmon

Creator:: Olla, Bori L., Davis, Michael W., and Schreck, Carl B.
Abstract:: The relationship between predator avoidance deficits induced by a simple handling stress and the level of plasma corticosteroids was determined for juvenile coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch. Groups of fish were held out of water for 1 min, then allowed to recover from this stress for 1, 90, or 240 min....

Comparison of growth, behavior and lipid concentrations of walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma larvae fed lipid-enriched, lipid-deficient and field-collected prey

Creator:: Davis, Michael W. and Olla, Bori L.
Abstract:: While growth and survival of marine fish larvae in the sea may be dependent on prey type, size and concentration, nutritional quality of prey may also play an important role. This study investigates the relationships of lipid content of prey with growth, gas bladder size, sinking rate, behavior and survival...

Capture-Related Stressors Impair Immune System Function in Sablefish

Creator:: Lupes, Sarah C., Davis, Michael W., Olla, Bori L., and Schreck, Carl B.
Abstract:: The sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria is a valuable North Pacific Ocean species that, when not targeted in various commercial fisheries, is often a part of discarded bycatch. Predictions of the survival of discarded fish are dependent on understanding how a fish responds to stressful conditions. Our objective was to describe the...
