120 miles. The hypothesis adopted in this...
The black crappie was evaluated as a pond fish in four experimental
ponds in the Willamette Valley. Two ponds were stocked with
largemouth bass, bluegill sunfish, and black crappie (1:9:3), and
two ponds with largemouth bass and black crappie (1:3).
Total biomass was greatest in the three-species ponds (80 kg/...
Aspects of the limnology and benthic ecology of Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, are described emphasizing those features that identify its uniqueness. The lake is large, shallow, and characterized by nuisance abundances of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae and midge flies. Results of this study indicate that it does not stratify and dissolved oxygen...
During the summers of 1967 and 1968 the horizontal distribution and did vertical migrations of zooplankton were studied within the unique environment of Crater Lake. Sampling of the horizontal
distribution was done by towing plankton nets vertically in different locations. The vertical distribution was sampled by towing at different depths...
Of 149 wild animals from two western Oregon river drainage
areas and other localities in which "salmon poisoning" disease (SPD)
is enzootic, including ten mammalian and two avian species, 79
harbored Nanophyetus salmincola, the SPD vector. The shorttail
