Three realms of deposition, Marine, Fluviatile, and Marine-
Fluviatile, are recognized in Yaquina Bay, Oregon, on the basis of
sediment texture and mineralogy. The Marine Realm extends 1.5
miles into the entrance of the estuary and is typified by normal
marine salinity and vigorous tidal action. Sediments of this realm...
Benthic samples were collected during the summer, winter and
spring seasons from upper Yaquina Estuary, a region used by Georgia-
Pacific Corporation for log dumping and storage. Samples came from
an active log dump and storage areas as well as areas not associated
with log handling activity. The samples were...
A study was conducted at Yaquina Bay, Oregon, to determine
the age-fecundity relationships in the striped seaperch Embiotoca
lateralis. A questionnaire was sent to California, Oregon, and
Washington to ascertain what regulations were in effect, and the value
of the family Embiotocidae with regard to the sport and commercial
harvest....
Natural populations of phytoplankton from Yaquina Bay, Oregon,
were incubated in large polyethelene bags in- situ, with and without
the natural assemblage of zooplankton. Samples were taken daily for
two weeks in April, 1974. The biomass of phytoplankton in the bag
without grazers reached values two to three times the...
Results of a study of spatial and temporal utilization of a tidal river estuary by hatchery and wild juvenile salmonids
(Oncorhynchus spp. and Salmo spp,), of overlap in food habits of hatchery and wild juvenile salmonids, and of size and relative
abundance of associated fish species are reported in this...
In 1960 a program of monitoring the zooplankton populations of Yaquina Bay, Oregon, was begun. The frequency of sampling was maintained at close to weekly intervals after 1 January 1963, usually at five stations. Abundances of all the species found in the bay of both meroplankton and holoplankton have been...
