The morphology and ecological importance of habitats associated with the margin of third-order stream channels in the Oregon Cascades were studied in streams in three different riparian types: 450-year-old conifers, 40-year-old alder, and an open, herbaceous-dominated clearcut. Margins, backwaters, and side channels in streams create important habitat for fry of...
The behavior and stream habitat utilization of juvenile hatchery-reared coho salmon (Ovicozihynchus kisutch) and wild cutthroat trout (Salmo clarki) were examined to assess the nature of interactions between the species potentially resulting from introductions of hatchery coho salmon in streams. Habitat utilization was monitored in Mill Creek, Polk Co., Oregon...
Production, food consumption and food habits by groups of small, mixed and large sizes of cutthroat trout were studied in enriched and unenriched sections of the Berry Creek Experimental Stream, Oregon State University. Continuous introduction of sucrose and urea to portions of the stream resulted in heavy growth of Sphaerotilus...
