Abstract:: Gravity observations were made with the LaCoste-Romberg underwater gravity meter during July and August 1962 at 149 stations in an area 10 by 40 miles (44°10' to 44°50'N latitude and 124° 07' to 124°20'W longitude) off the north-central Oregon coast from Heceta Head to Depoe Bay. The primary purpose of...

Bio-physical interactions of small pelagic fish schools and zooplankton prey in the California Current System over multiple scales

Creator:: Kaltenberg, Amanda May
Abstract:: Small pelagic fish represent a critical trophic link between plankton and large predators in marine upwelling ecosystems such as the California Current System. Populations of these fish are highly variable over time and are characterized by extreme fluctuations in abundance, which have significant ecosystem impacts. The causes driving this instability...

Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Broad-scale Predictive Models : Influences of Scale

Creator:: Hooper, Samuel
Abstract:: Developing accurate predictive distribution models requires adequately representing relevant spatial and temporal scales, as these scales are ultimately reflective of the relationships between distributions and influential environmental conditions. In this research, we considered both spatial and temporal scale and the influence each has on predicting broad-scale distributions of two disparate...

Extraction and production of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid concentrate from Pacific sardines (Sardinops sagax)

Creator:: Okada, Tomoko
Abstract:: Intrinsic characteristics of Pacific sardines were determined. The lipid content in sardines was initially low (6.79%) in the beginning ofthe season, increased to 22.95% in mid-August, and decreased slightly by the end of September. An inverse correlation (R² = -0.90) was found between lipid and moisture content. Analysis showed that...

Tags Versus Genetics : Identifying Which Tool Provides the Best Information about Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Distributions in the California Current

Creator:: Flaherty, Ryan James
Abstract:: The movement of Chinook salmon through space and time, across political boundaries, and through fisheries, creates one of the most complex marine resource management problems in the world. Information garnered from the recovery of coded-wire tags (CWTs) has been used since the 1970s to direct management decisions. Growing concern surrounding...

Characterizing the response of coralline algae to ocean acidification and nutrient changes in the California Current system

Creator:: Letzing, Sandy
Abstract:: Ocean acidification (OA) has emerged as an important focus of research and policy in this decade. Ocean acidification specifically refers to changes in the inorganic carbon system in the ocean resulting from its absorption of human-released CO₂ from the atmosphere. Anthropogenic atmospheric CO₂ levels are rapidly increasing; much of this...
