First introduced to the USA in 1958, Myxobolus cerebralis, the parasite responsible for whirling disease in salmonids, has since spread across the country causing severe declines in wild trout populations in the intermountain west. Recent development of risk assessment models used to assess the likelihood and consequences of exotic parasite...

This pamphlet attempts to identify and describe the various administrative permits required for a salmon ranch operation in Oregon. It also describes the administrative procedures by which agencies make their decisions. Lastly, it includes representative samples of application forms, copies of particularly significant legislation and regulations, and information about state...
Sampling with seine and trawl from May 1974 to November 1976 indicated that the species composition and distribution of fishes in Tillamook Bay through time is primarily related to the movements of marine species in and out of the estuary. Northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax), surf smelt (Hypomesus pretiosus), and shiner...
This annotated bibliography was compiled to provide forest managers with a comprehensive list of sources on the potential effects of silvicultural activities on wildlife and fish populations in Pacific Northwest forests. The bibliography emphasizes publications directly examining silvicultural activities and responses by these populations. Abstracts from 296 publications are indexed...
An investigation of the fishes of the Willamette River and three of its larger tributaries was made during July, August, September, and November of 1951, to ascertain the possibility of using them as bio-indices of pollution. Thirteen stations were established on the Willamette River and tributaries. These stations were selected...

This research was conducted on the life history of the blue
chub, Gila (Gila) coerulea (Girard), inhabiting Paulina Lake, Oregon,
and the tui chub, Gila (Siphateles) bicolor (Girard), East
Lake, Oregon. The results are applied to the fisheries management
of these lakes. Both species are endemic to the Klamath River...
The U.S. Bureau of Fisheries (now National Marine Fisheries Service) conducted stream habitat surveys in the Upper Grande Ronde River Basin in 1941. This survey was part of an extensive inventory of stream habitat conditions for anadromous salmonids (Oncorhynchus spp.) throughout the Columbia River Basin. The survey systematically
inventoried 158...
This study describes streams in the Blue Mountains and Wallowa Mountains of Northeastern Oregon in order to characterize the interactions between the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and to determine how logging affects those relationships. Five stream reach pairs, each consisting of an undisturbed reach and a similar reach flowing through...
The growth, size and age composition, mortality and reproduction of darkblotched rockfish (Sebastes crameri) were examined using fishery data and analysis of fish
characteristics for samples collected of f the Oregon coast. A total of 1060 fish, caught by commercial groundfish and shrimp trawlers operating out of Newport, Coos Bay...
