The importance of egg size for the diversity of salmonids

Creator:: Leblanc, Camille A.
Abstract:: Understanding the origin and nature of intra specific biodiversity enables us to better conserve and manage animal populations. Biological diversity is seen at different scales and for different traits such as behavior, morphology, physiology, and life history. Behavior is especially important since behavioral changes are believed to precede changes in...

Determination of marine migratory behavior and its relationship to selected physical traits for least cisco (Coregonus sardinella) of the western Arctic coastal plain, Alaska

Creator:: Seigle, John C.
Abstract:: With increased resource development on the western Arctic coastal plain of Alaska (especially within the oil extraction industry) it is important to understand the basic life history attributes of whitefish stocks in the region in order to ensure appropriate management. These fish are a crucial part of subsistence harvests for...

Towards an Integrated Decision Tool for Managing Wildlife with Visitor Restrictions in Glacier Bay National Park

Creator:: Whitlock, Steven L.
Abstract:: The National Park Service has a dual mission of providing public access to exceptional natural resources, but in a manner such that these resources are left “unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.” Human activities in parks undoubtedly affect wildlife, but the degree to which such activities cause impairment is...

Early maturing males in a partially migratory population of anadromous and resident rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss: influences of individual condition and stream temperature

Creator:: McMillan, John R.
Abstract:: Alternative male phenotypes in salmonine fishes arise from individuals that mature as either larger and older anadromous marine-migrants or as smaller and younger freshwater residents. Variability in age and size of males at maturity is hypothesized to be preceded by early differences in growth in size and lipid storage. Water...

Use of Landscape Characteristics to Quantify Hybridization Risk Between Native and Introduced Salmonids

Creator:: Manning, Michael A.
Abstract:: The introduction of non-native species can negatively impact native species through reduced genetic fitness resulting from hybridization. The lack of spatiotemporal data of hybrids occurrences makes assessing hybridization risk difficult. Here, I developed a spatially-explicit GIS Hybridization Risk Model (HRM) between native ESA-listed Bull Trout and introduced Brook Trout by...

Bioenergetic evaluation of diel vertical migration by bull trout

Creator:: Eckmann, Madeleine
Abstract:: I evaluated hypotheses related to growth as a driver of depth use and diel vertical migration by bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in a thermally stratified reservoir. I applied a bioenergetic model to evaluate growth of bull trout in relation to potential patterns of diel depth use by bull trout in...

Effects of acute stress and exercise on subsequent seawater adaptation and cortisol dynamics in juvenile steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Liebert, Anja M.
Abstract:: The present study investigated the effects of stress and exercise on seawater (SW) adaptation and cortisol dynamics in juvenile steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss). To examine the effects of stress, fish acclimated to freshwater (FW) were subjected for 3 hours to confinement stress in FW, and subsequently SW (25 ppt) was introduced...

The influence of sex, migration distance, and latitude on expression of anadromy in Oncorhynchus mykiss

Creator:: Ohms, Haley
Abstract:: The evolution and maintenance of multiple phenotypes within populations is an interesting evolutionary and ecological question, and is becoming increasingly important for the restoration and conservation of partially migratory species. In particular, why individuals adopt a particular phenotype has been the focus of numerous research efforts. In the partially migratory...

Development and application of steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) kelt identification techniques

Creator:: Evans, Allen F.
Abstract:: The migrations upstream of pre-spawned adult steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and downstream of post-spawned steelhead (referred to as "kelts") can geographically and temporally overlap in the Snake River, leading to management challenges for populations listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This thesis describes the development and application of a method...

Migration, movement, and habitat use of humpback whitefish (Coregonus pidschian) in the Copper River Delta, Alaska

Creator:: Neilson, Brian J.
Abstract:: Research conducted on humpback whitefish Coregonus pidschian in the Copper River Delta, Alaska has revealed a complex life history involving seasonal migrations and the occupation of a variety of freshwater and marine habitats including lacustrine, riverine, estuarine, and marine. Forty-five whitefish were tagged with radio transmitters in 2006 and 2007,...
