A seasonal study of sediment reworking by Neotrypaea californiensis in Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Fritz, Cara E.
Abstract:: A year-long field study was undertaken to investigate the influence of a number of physical and biological factors, specifically temperature, organic carbon content, and shrimp population dynamics on sediment reworking rates by the ghost shrimp Neotrypaea calforniensis. Because of its role as a structuring agent in estuaries along the West...

Direct effects and tradeoffs affect vegetative growth and sexual reproduction in an invasive seagrass experiencing different disturbance regimes

Creator:: Henderson, Jeremy Scott
Abstract:: Disturbance has both direct and indirect ramifications that can influence species abundance, distribution, and ultimately the diversity found within a community. As a result, we might expect disturbance to play a particularly important role in the ability of non-native species to proliferate outside of their native range. In practice, disturbance...

Effects of bark debris on benthic macro-fauna of Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Walker, John David
Abstract:: Benthic samples were collected during the summer, winter and spring seasons from upper Yaquina Estuary, a region used by Georgia- Pacific Corporation for log dumping and storage. Samples came from an active log dump and storage areas as well as areas not associated with log handling activity. The samples were...

Impacts of dredged material disposal on estuarine benthic macrofaunal communities in Coos Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Erman, Lisa T.
Abstract:: Hopper dredge disposal of coarse grained sediment was investigated between May and September, 1986, at a designated disposal area, Site G, in Coos Bay, Oregon. The objectives of the study were to: (a) identify and describe the benthic macrofaunal community structure at Site G during May and September, 1986; (b)...

Juvenile Rockfish (Sebastes spp.) Community Composition and Habitat use of Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Lindsley, Amy J.
Abstract:: Estuaries, which provide viable habitat for a plethora of fish and invertebrate species, are being increasingly impacted by anthropogenic and natural forces. Estuaries are important nursery habitat for young-of-the-year (YOY) Pacific rockfish (Sebastes spp.). Yaquina Bay, a marine-dominated estuary on the central Oregon Coast, served as a study site for...

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...

Sediment accumulation and human impacts in Tillamook Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Styllas, Michael N.
Abstract:: Tillamook Bay is the second largest estuary on the Oregon coast, and concerns have been raised whether human induced impacts have been responsible for the perceived increase in sedimentation rates during the past century. Major land-use practices within the five watersheds of the Bay include logging, forest fires, the construction...

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...
