Cortisol and the immune system of juvenile Pacific salmon during stress and development

Creator:: Maule, Alec G.
Abstract:: Plasma concentrations of cortisol, a glucocorticoid hormone that is immunosuppressive in mammals, increase during stress and smoltification of salmonids. There was a reduction in the ability of lymphocytes to generate antibody producing cells (APC) in vivo concurrent with increased plasma cortisol titers during smoltification of coho salmon (Oncorhvnchus kisutch). Cortisol...

Ecological influence of bacterial kidney disease on juvenile spring chinook salmon : effects on predator avoidance ability, smoltification, and physiological responses to stress

Creator:: Mesa, Matthew G.
Abstract:: Juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were experimentally infected with Renibacterium salmoninarum (Rs), the causative agent of bacterial kidney disease (BKD), to investigate the effects of BKD on three aspects of juvenile salmonid performance: (1) predator avoidance ability; (2) smoltification; and (3) physiological responses to stress. For these experiments, fish with...

Bioeconomic Simulation Modeling of Fisheries : Three Essays

Creator:: Cusack, Christopher Inju
Abstract:: Researchers rely on bioeconomic models to guide research and generate fishery management advice for commercial fisheries. Due partly to a paradigm shift towards ecosystem based fishery management, increasing complexity in the characteristics of the problems has meant that bioeconomic simulation models are becoming more prevalent in the fisheries literature. However...

Investigating Latent State and Uncertainty Representations in Reinforcement Learning

Creator:: Koul, Anurag
Abstract:: Learning latent space representations of high-dimensional world states has been at the core of recent rapid growth in reinforcement learning(RL). At the same time, RL algo- rithms have suffered from ignored uncertainties in the predicted estimates of model-free or model-based methods. In our work, we investigate both of these aspects...
