An anemia of juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is described and stages of development separated by recognizable syndromes. A vitamin E-deficient diet of low rancidity produced a severe microcytic anemia with strong immature red cell response and granulocytosis occurring 2 to 4 weeks before a drop in hemoglobin and hematocrit...
Clatsop Beaches, characterized by flat beach-face slope (1:70) and small sandsize (0.2 mm.), have supported commercial and recreational fisheries for the razor clam (Siliqua patula) for many years. Tracing the linear growth of two year classes through more than one year following set led to a validation of the ring...
