"... the major thrust of this study is to: 1. Identify and rank by priority all vulnerable resources in the study area, 2. Designate specific areas for protection and determine how physical processes will effect their vulnerability, 3. Suggest suitable protective and cleanup response measures, 4. Map resource locations, boom...
Distribution of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Oregon and Washington oystergrowing areas was studied between November 2002 and October 2003. V. parahaemolyticus was detected in 14.3% of oyster, 23.0% of seawater, and 44.4% of sediment samples with very low levels (≤7.4 MPN/g) of pathogenic strains being detected in oysters. Occurrence of V....
“Starting the first part of July, 1947, the Fish Commission of Oregon set up a field station at Newport for the purpose of conducting research on shellfish.” (p.1) The status of clams in Yaquina Bay was the first topic studied. This paper gives the conditions of clam beds, lists species...
