Rearing of the native Pacific Coast oyster larvae, Ostrea lurida Carp., under controlled laboratory conditions

Creator:

Breese, Wilbur P.

Abstract:

Fisheries Laboratory during 1952, in the rearing of the native Pacific Coast oyster, Ostrea lurida Carp., in small containers. The decline of the oyster fishery in Yaquina Bay, Oregon, has been attributed in part to the lack of adequate spat-falls. Investigations were begun in 1947 to devise methods of artificially...

Effects of pressure and deposit thickness on the stabilization rate of benthic marine sludge deposits

Creator:

Muellenhoff, W. P.

Abstract:

The biochemical degradation of domestic sludge deposits exposed to benthic marine conditions was investigated using a laboratory Deep Sea Simulator. The rate and extent of deposit stabilization were determined for select hydrostatic pressures and hydrogen acceptor conditions by monitoring depletion of particulate organic carbon in 2.0 and 3.0 centimeter deposits....

Sensitivity analysis of the Catchment Modeling Framework (CMF) and use in evaluating two agricultural management scenarios

Creator:

Metta, John W. P.

Abstract:

Abstract Watershed-scale fate/transport modeling of contaminants is a tool that scientists and land managers can use to assess pesticide contamination to stream systems. The Catchment Modeling Framework (CMF) is a catchment-scale fate/transport modeling tool. It was developed to help scientists and land managers assess the effects of possible land-use decisions...
