A Study of Participant Perspectives Regarding Cooperative Fisheries Research on the US West Coast

Creator:: Moore, Jedidiah J.
Abstract:: Cooperative marine fisheries research—the practice of involving the expertise of fishermen and scientists in conducting studies of ocean fishes—has increased gradually over the past 50 years on the US west coast. However, few studies have systematically collected and analyzed the experiences and perceptions of numerous cooperative marine fisheries research project...

An experimental investigation of the effects of temperature and dissolved oxygen on the growth of juvenile English sole and juvenile Dungeness crab

Creator:: Bancroft, Morgan P.
Abstract:: In the past two decades, occurrences of summertime upwelling-driven low dissolved oxygen (DO) events, or hypoxia, have increased along the northeast Pacific coast. If hypoxic events are severe enough to cause marine species mortality, the areas affected are often called "dead zones." In 2002 and again in 2006, the events...

Stakeholder evaluation of market based approaches towards managing the adverse impacts of commercial fishing on the marine environment

Creator:: Swart, Brycen
Abstract:: Over fishing, by-catch of non-target fish species, marine mammals, seabirds, and damage to benthic habitats remain serious problems in fisheries management. Management methods based on traditional command and control (CAC) approaches may meet with initial successes yet additional progress is often marginal, requiring managers to implement additional regulations to achieve...

Evaluation of dungeness crab pots as platforms of opportunity for ocean-observing research

Creator:: Childress, Jeremy L.
Abstract:: Oregon Fishermen in Ocean Observing Research (OrFIOOR) is a cooperative research program between ocean scientists and fishermen in the Pacific Northwest. Dungeness crab fishermen attach sensor packages (temperature and dissolved oxygen) to crab pots. The pots serve as platforms of opportunity for ocean observing. This study examines three principle questions...

Industry-scientist cooperative research : application to the West Coast groundfish fishery

Creator:: Harms, John
Abstract:: Declining harvest levels, static agency research budgets, and increasing tension among scientists, managers, and industry members are the legacy of the present research and management institutions in the West Coast groundfish fishery. Cooperative research, the active participation of the commercial fishing industry in scientific research, is receiving increased attention as...

Physical factors affecting the spatial distribution of infaunal bivalve assemblages and species along the continental shelf of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Labou, Stephanie Grace
Abstract:: The spatial distribution and abundance patterns of benthic infauna result from interactions with a host of environmental variables including sediment characteristics (percent silt-clay, grain size, total organic carbon), depth, temperature, and dissolved oxygen. This thesis focuses on the association of bivalve assemblages and species with potentially influential environmental variables along...

Influence of a Sedimentary Source of Nd on Deep Ocean εNd Distributions

Creator:: Abbott, April N.
Abstract:: Ocean circulation is an important component in Earth's climate system. Predicting future climate and circulation changes requires an improved understanding of the past relationship between climate and ocean currents. The neodymium isotope composition (εNd) of water masses is frequently used as a quasi-conservative tracer to reconstruct ocean circulation. The current...

Evolutionary relationships and an investigation of sympatric speciation within Limnanthaceae

Creator:: Meyers, Stephen C.
Abstract:: Limnanthes floccosa ssp. floccosa and L. floccosa ssp. grandiflora are two of five subspecies of Limnanthes floccosa endemic to vernal pools in southern Oregon and northern California. Three seasons of monitoring natural populations have quantified that L. floccosa ssp. grandiflora is always found growing sympatrically with L. floccosa ssp. floccosa...

Identification of representative west coast areas for manganese nodule processing activities

Creator:: Henderson, James A.
Abstract:: Manganese nodules are concretions which are widely distributed on the bottom of marine waters as well as on the bottom of some lakes. They vary in size, abundance, and to some extent composition, with location. The nodules are of potential economic value because of the nickel, copper, cobalt and manganese...

The wave energy resource of the US Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Lenee-Bluhm, Pukha
Abstract:: The substantial wave energy resource of the US Pacific Northwest (i.e. off the coasts of Washington, Oregon and N. California) is assessed and characterized. Archived spectral records from ten wave measurement buoys, operated and maintained by the National Data Buoy Center and the Coastal Data Information Program, form the basis...
