Concerns about the possible reciprocal differences resulting from
systematic crossings of winter and spring wheat gene pools prompted

a cross would be helpful for breeding programs.

The nature of the interaction between juvenile coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch (Walbaum), and fall chinook salmon, 0. tshawytscha (Walbaum), was studied in Sixes River, Oregon. Seining, snorkeling, and tagging were used to determine distribution and patterns of growth of these two species in the stream environment. Experiments conducted in flowing-water...
