The distribution of adult Pacific herring (Clupea harengue
pallasi) near Auke Bay, Lynn Canal, southeastern Alaska, varied by
depth and geographic area over 24 successive months during 1973-75.
From June through September, schools concentrated at 5- to 37-m
depths where zooplankton was abundant, and moderate currents were
present in a...
The hydrophobicity of soils of the Deschutes National Forest was
studied. The soils are Cindery Typic Cryorthents, formed in cinders
and ash from Mt. Mazama. Ponderosa pine is the dominant overstory
vegetation. Of particular interest was the effect of prescribed
burning on hydrophobicity. Fire has been shown to cause a...
The alternate bearing cycle in the 'Barcelona' cultivar poses a
major problem to the filbert industry. This study was conducted to
alleviate this problem in one of two ways: by (1) increased floral
initiation in the "on" year, and (2) increased cluster set in the "off"
year. Growth regulators were...
Agricultural field burning in Oregon's Willamette Valley

for pollination of domestic crops and for bee products, primarily
honey.
This parasite was first discovered in 1921 on the Isle of
Wight, a small island situated in the English Channel...
Aerobic heterotrophic bacteria associated with oyster larvae feed
algae Isochrysis galbana, Monochrysis lutheri and Pseudoisochrysis
paradoxa were isolated and enumerated. The bacterial numbers ranged
from 7.8x10³ to 3.9x10⁶ CFU per ml. The bacteria associated with
Pseudoisochrysis sp. were identified and the majority of isolates
belonged to genera Leucothrix (51%). Also...
