Habitat improvement to enhance anadromous fish production [Clear Creek]

Creator:: West, Duane C., Reeher, James A., Jr., Hewkin, James A., and Oregon. State Game Commission. Fishery Division
Abstract:: Clear Creek, tributary of North Fork John Day River, is a mountain stream located in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon. It joins Granite Creek about 1.5 miles below the old abandoned mining town of Granite. Gravel removed from Clear Creek by gold dredging activity was replaced in a 3.37-mile...

Habitat improvement to enhance anadromous fish production [Tex Creek]

Creator:: West, Duane C., Reeher, James A., Hewkin, James A., and Oregon. State Game Commission. Fishery Division
Abstract:: The project objectives were to determine the possibility of raising the subterranean water in adequate amounts by installation of an underground weir; to determine what type of structure would be most feasible; and to formulate a biological evaluation program if the first two objectives were accomplished. Tex Creek, tributary to...

Reduction of salmonid predators by chemical treatment

Creator:: Reeher, James A., Hewkin, James A., West, Duane C., and Oregon. State Game Commission. Fishery Division
Abstract:: The upper drainage of the John Day River system produces summer steelhead and spring chinook salmon. The fish are generally confined to the main stem and its tributaries above Prairie City. The spawning and rearing areas are comparatively free of undesirable fish species, but salmonid smolts migrating downstream must travel...

An economic analysis of alternative water allocations and habitat investments for anadromous fish production, John Day Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Cerda, Arcadio Alberto
Abstract:: This thesis focuses on the economic efficiency of alternative habitat, streamfiow, and land use allocations within a major drainage of the Pacific Northwest. Specifically, productivity of present habitat and streamfiow conditions is evaluated with respect to anadromous fish species (chinook salmon and steelhead trout) in the John Day River Basin,...

Shallow aquifer characteristics adjacent to the upper Middle Fork John Day River, eastern Oregon

Creator:: Hopson, Richard G.
Abstract:: Subsurface inputs into lotic systems are a primary mechanism for cooling streams with high ambient water temperatures. Objectives of this study include: 1) to determine the effectiveness of Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) thermal imagery to detect shallow aquifers, 2) to characterize certain physical, spatial, and temporal characteristics of the fluvial,...

The Influence of Riparian Habitat and Microhabitat Selection on Fish Assemblaqe Structure in the Upper John Day Basin, Oreqon

Creator:: Leitzinger, Eric J.
Abstract:: Fish assemblage structure was determined along a longitudinal gradient for three drainages in the upper John Day basin: Middle Fork, South Fork, and upper Mainstem proper. One or two tributaries in each drainage were included. Where possible, sites were paired: those with good versus those with poor riparian habitat. Detrended...

Evaporative heat loss of the upper Middle Fork of the John Day River, northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Benner, David A.
Abstract:: Evaporation was studied along the Middle Fork of the John Day River in northeastern Oregon. Evaporation pans and various meteorological sensors recorded data at nine sites during the summer of 1998; measurements were made at each site over a 3-4 day period. A Dalton-type evaporation model was produced using water...

Influences of riparian canopy on aquatic communities in high desert streams of eastern Oregon

Creator:: Tait, Cynthia K.
Abstract:: Because riparian canopy controls most energy inputs to stream ecosystems, it directly affects the structure of aquatic food webs and the ecological processes that govern interactions among trophic levels. This study addresses the interdependence among riparian canopy, benthic community structure, and the carrying capacity of high desert streams for salmonid...

Multiscale assessment of thermal patterns and the distribution of chinook salmon in the John Day River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Torgersen, Christian E.
Abstract:: This study examined the distribution and behavior of adult spring chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) related to patterns of stream temperature and physical habitat at channel unit, reach, and basin-wide spatial scales in both a wilderness stream and a disturbed stream in the John Day River basin in northeastern Oregon. Thermal...

The optimal allocation of watershed conservation funding : a case study of the John Day River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Skelton, Katharine
Abstract:: This study determines the optimal allocation of watershed conservation funds in the John Day River Basin, Oregon. Fund managers can use a variety of targeting schemes to allocate their limited resources. Depending on which targeting criteria is used, they may or may not be achieving the maximum environmental benefits per...
