Movement and abundance of lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus) in Yaquina Bay Estuary, Oregon: evidence for essential habitat designation

Creator:: Schwager, Tad W.
Abstract:: Lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus) are known to utilize certain estuaries along the Pacific coast of the United States, but the importance of these habitats to the coast-wide population is not well understood. In this study, general patterns of estuarine habitat use were assessed by tracking the movement of sub-adult and adult...

Characterization of ecosystem structure and function recovery within the NOAA MOC-P mitigation basin, Newport, Oregon

Creator:: Lewis, Nate S.
Abstract:: Seagrass ecosystems are considered some of the most productive coastal habitats in the world. One such seagrass within estuaries of the Pacific Northwest, Zostera marina (eelgrass), is recognized to be an ecosystem engineering species that provides many important ecosystem functions and services. In 2010, construction of the National Oceanic and...

Hatchery development of marine bivalve molluscs

Creator:: Solon, E. Mark
Abstract:: The direction of my Marine Resource Management program has been to develop an expertise in a particular area of aquaculture, complemented by a general knowledge of oceanographic principles. Specifically, my area of interest is the culture of marine bivalve molluscs. Prior to entering the MRM program, I had worked with...

The development and evaluation of an interactive exhibit to support real-time water quality data interpretation by the public at an informal education setting

Creator:: Mikulak, Sarah E.
Abstract:: Ocean observing groups are currently making efforts to work with well-defined end-user groups, like boaters and fishermen, to provide meaningful and effective real-time data (RTD) products and visualizations. However, providing meaningful data products for undefined groups such as the general public is not straightforward. In Oregon, several industry, science, and...

Comparison of habitat restoration and enhancement methods for Olympia oysters (Ostrea lurida) in Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Law, Karen H.
Abstract:: The Olympia oyster is a foundation species that increases habitat structure for associate species in estuarine systems of the Pacific Coast of North America (Kimbro & Grosholz, 2006). This oyster provides ecosystem services in the form of water filtration (zu Ermgassen et al., 2013), habitat for commercially valuable species such...

Utilization of the Non-Native Seagrass, Zostera japonica, by Crab and Fish in Pacific Northwest Estuaries

Creator:: Sund, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The introduction of non-native species often results in fundamental changes in the structure and function of disturbed environments. In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), the introduced seagrass Zostera japonica is rapidly expanding in distribution, impacting stakeholders and public use of the intertidal. Z. japonica’s expansion has prompted a number of different...

Re‐establishment of the native oyster, Ostrea conchaphila, in Netarts Bay, Oregon, USA

Creator:: Archer, Pamela Emily
Abstract:: Olympia oysters, “Ostrea conchaphila,” were once common along the west coast of North America. A popular delicacy, native oyster populations began to decline in the late 1800’s due to over‐harvest, degraded water quality, and habitat loss. Interest in re‐establishing the native oyster in a small Oregon estuary, Netarts Bay, culminated...

Exploring perceptions and experiences of the U.S. West Coast shellfish industry dealing with ocean acidification

Creator:: Mabardy, Rebecca Anne
Abstract:: Nearshore and estuarine environments along the U.S West Coast are ocean acidification (OA) "hotspots". Carbon dioxide-enriched water has been correlated with production losses of Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) larvae at hatcheries in the Pacific Northwest. Limited and unreliable supply of larval seed has implications for the economic well-being of commercial...

Identifying potential wetland restoration sites for estuary-wide restoration planning in Oregon : A pilot project in the Coos Estuary

Creator:: Fuss, J. David
Abstract:: Oregon's estuaries have been significantly altered by human activity, so that many former tidal wetlands no longer provide the functions, such as fish and wildlife habitat, erosion protection from storms, and water quality maintenance, that preserve the integrity of estuarine ecosystems. Oregon has been a leader in wetland protection and...

Seagrasses as Potential Chemical Refugia for Acidification-Sensitive Bivalves

Creator:: Smith, Stephanie Rae
Abstract:: As the effect of ocean acidification (OA) on marine calcifiers is better understood, a range of potential mitigative strategies have been proposed, many of which are plagued by concerns of scale and feasibility. One oft-cited option is to increase the biomass of photosynthetic organisms to remove CO₂ from the water...
