Euphausia pacifica lives for a period of approximately one year,
disappearing from the catches at a size of about 22-24 mm. Spawning,
which occurs mainly inshore, extends from June through December
but generally is most prominent in the autumn months.
Average growth is calculated to be approximately 2.0 mm per...
The 36 samples collected with a 22-foot semi-balloon shrimp
trawl at depths from 40 to 1,829 meters off the central coast of
Oregon between July 1961 and June 1962 provided preliminary data
on the distribution, species composition, and associations of benthic
fishes with respect to depth and sediment type.
Sixty-seven...
Sound scattering by marine organisms was studied off the
Oregon coast and between Hawaii and Adak, Alaska. Variations in
scattering were observed over a period of several hours, over did
(24-hour) periods, from month to month, from inshore to offshore,
in relation to biomass of midwater animals, and temperature and...
Hyperiid amphipods from one-meter plankton net collections made over a two year period at stations 15, 25, 50, and 65 nautical miles off Newport, Oregon, were examined. Nineteen species were identified. The occurrence of some species off Oregon significantly extended
the known geographic ranges. To my knowledge Scina crassicornis burmudensis...
This paper deals with the bone structure of albacore, fin whale and deep-sea rat-tail. The major components of bone - ash, organic, fat and water content are expressed on a volumetric basis. It has been found that both rat-tail and whale bone tissue are highly mineralized and the mineralization occurs...
