Long term albacore (Thunnus alalunga) spatio-temporal association with environmental variability in the Northeastern Pacific

Creator:: Phillips, A. Jason
Abstract:: This study investigated long-term (1961-2008) changes in albacore (Thunnus alalunga) abundance and distribution in relation to local environmental and large-scale climate indices in the Northeastern Pacific using time series and spatial analyses. Prior to the time series analysis, a wavelet analysis was conducted to examine nonrandom patterns of cyclical variability...

The distribution and aggregation of Chinook salmon stocks on the Oregon Shelf as indicated by the commercial catch and genetics

Creator:: Ireland, Robert
Abstract:: Project CROOS, Collaborative Research on Oregon Ocean Salmon, is a unique partnership of scientists and commercial fishermen that combines catch location data with stock assignments obtained from genetic micro-satellite analysis to investigate the distribution of Oregon Chinook across multiple spatial scales. Using catch data collected by collaborating Oregon troll fishermen,...

Comparative foraging ecology of five species of Pacific seabirds : multi-scale analyses of marine habitat use

Creator:: Suryan, Robert
Abstract:: Seabirds are an integral component of marine ecosystems, however, because humans typically observe only snapshots of their lives at sea, our understanding of seabird foraging ecology is often limited. A more complete understanding of the ecological roles of seabirds and identification of critical foraging habitats requires the ability to follow...

Are there two subgroups of albacore, Thunnus alalunga, in the North Pacific? Evidence from variability in catch, seasonal migrations, and length composition for two subgroups in the coastal fishery of North America

Creator:: Barr, Charles M.
Abstract:: North Pacific albacore (Thunnus alalunga) is a highly migratory and commercially valuable species of tuna. All stock assessments and management decisions for North Pacific albacore are presently based on the assumption of a single, uniform stock. However, a growing body of evidence from diverse sources suggests that there are two...

Breeding and foraging ecology of Caspian terns (Sterna caspia) in the mid-Columbia River : predation on juvenile salmonids and management implications

Creator:: Antolos, Michelle
Abstract:: I investigated Caspian terns (Sterna caspia) breeding at colonies on the Columbia Plateau (southeastern Washington and northeastern Oregon), with emphasis on the breeding and foraging ecology of Caspian terns nesting at colonies in the mid-Columbia River. I focused research at colonies where Caspian terns foraged on juvenile salmonids (Oncorhynchus spp.)...

Predictive locational modeling of late Pleistocene archaeological sites on the southern Oregon Coast using a Geographic Information System (GIS)

Creator:: Punke, Michele Leigh
Abstract:: The search for archaeological materials dating to 15,000 yr BP along the southern Oregon coast is a formidable task. Using ethnographic, theoretical, and archaeological data, landscape resources which would have influenced land-use and occupation location decisions in the past are highlighted. Additionally, environmental data pertaining to the late Pleistocene is...

Bioenergetics-based predator-prey relationships between piscivorous birds and juvenile salmonids in the Columbia River estuary

Creator:: Lyons, Donald E.
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on the predator-prey relationship between two species of avian predators, Caspian terns (Hydroprogne caspia) and double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus), and one of their important prey types, juvenile salmonids (Oncorhynchus spp.), in the Columbia River estuary of Oregon and Washington states during the period 1998 – 2007. I...

Incorporation of salmon derived nutrients into Oregon coastal streams and the role of physical habitat

Creator:: Shaff, Courtney D.
Abstract:: Stream restoration techniques in western Oregon and Washington include physical habitat restoration and more recently the addition of salmon carcasses to improve food availability for juvenile fish. Although both are common practices, few studies have examined the effects of carcass placement and the interaction of nutrient enrichment with physical habitat...

An investigation of the distribution and abundance of ichthyoplankton and juvenile benthic fishes in relation to nearshore hypoxia within the Northern California Current system

Creator:: Johnson, Angela M.
Abstract:: Nearshore hypoxia within the Northern California Current (NCC) system is a seasonal phenomenon caused by coastal upwelling and occurs mainly during late-summer and early fall. The effects of low oxygen levels on fish and invertebrate communities, particularly during early-life history stages, however, are poorly known for this area. I investigated...

Trophic dynamics of marine nekton and zooplankton in the Northern California Current ecosystem

Creator:: Miller, Todd William
Abstract:: The Northern California Current (NCC) ecosystem exhibits extreme seasonal, interannual and interdecadal shifts in the abiotic environment and shifts in primary and higher production. This variability is also apparent in the spatial structure of the ecosystem with nearshore-shelf waters (<150 m isobath) being highly productive and having a different community...
