"The Willamette River has the largest runs of spring chinook salmon of any tributary of the Columbia River rising in Oregon. The run to the Willamette is most unique in that the migrating fish pass up the river through Portland, a city of several hundred thousand people, and support a...
"In January 1946 the Oregon State Game Commission authorized a study of Diamond Lake to determine reason for an apparent decline in the size and number of rainbow trout with the object of maintaining a maximum annual yield through proper management." (From Introduction)
This document contains transcripts of Joel Hedgpeth’s series of lectures delivered over KPFA radio in Berkeley, California. These passionate lectures described the uses of oceanography, attempted to differentiate between oceanography and marine science, and encouraged students to pursue oceanography. Joel Hedgpeth was a director of the Hatfield Marine Science Center.
"Kokanee were originally stocked in Detroit Reservoir in 11959. This species was introduced in hopes that it would utilize pelagic zoo plankton and provide a more varied sport fishery.

With the construction of the Marine Science Center and the opening of its Pacific Fisheries Laboratory in 1965, Oregon State University had facilities for research that would ultimately lead to breakthroughs in Pacific Coast oyster culture. "Purposes of the workshop were to review present and planned programs of research with...
