July 1, 1952-June 30, 1954. Report of the Oregon Game Commission’s transactions and operations for 1952-1954. Because of its importance, water for fish and wildlife is the focus of this report, and discussion of this topic is included in nearly every section. The first half of the report discusses game...
The vapor-drying process is described briefly and its present status in industry is discussed. Fairly extensive data on the vapor drying of 1-, 2-, and 4-inch Douglas-fir and 2-inch western hemlock lumber are presented. Exploratory work on the vapor drying of redwood, Pacific madrone, red alder and ponderosa pine is...
The increasing volume of young-growth Douglas-fir timber cut in the Pacific Northwest emphasizes the need for more knowledge on the characteristics of lumber sawed from these trees.
The study described here was initiated to learn the extent arid causes of degrade resulting from kiln-drying young-growth Douglas-fir dimension lumber. At the...
Ages were determined for 65 fish from the 1947 run and for 287 fish from the 1949 run. In 1947 the percentage composition by age was as follows: 32.3 percent 3-year-old fish, 66.2 percent 4-year-old fish, and 1.5 percent 5-year-old fish. An approximate 95 percent confidence interval for the true...
This report is an update of shellfish investigations from January 1-December 31, 1953. It includes a summary of bay clam and oyster investigations, including details on attempted pest control and control of algae on oyster beds. It also contains results of the 1953 Tillamook Bay Clam Survey, and discusses clam...
An average of approximately 200,000 pounds of bay clams were harvested annually in Oregon for the years 1943-49, inclusive. The commercial harvest of bay clams is composed of the gaper, cockle, and softshell clams. The recreational, or noncommercial, harvest of bay clams is composed mainly of the gaper, cockle, softshell,...
During a tagging operation conducted in 1951 on the Alsea River, 1,142 adult silver salmon were tagged with plastic Petersen-type tags and stainless steel jaw tags. An attempt was made to determine whether tagged fish released in different apparent conditions suffered differential mortalities. Under the hypothesis that the recovery of...

This issue of the PMFC bulletin centers on sablefish along the Pacific Coast, describing the fisheries of California, Oregon, and Washington. It also has the results of a racial study of Pacific Coast sablefish, and has the results of sablefish tagging experiments in California, Oregon, and Washington.
In marine ecosystems, rising atmospheric CO2 and climate change are associated with concurrent shifts in temperature, circulation, stratification, nutrient input, oxygen content, and ocean acidification, with potentially wideranging biological effects. Population-level shifts are occurring because of physiological intolerance to new environments, altered dispersal patterns, and changes in species interactions. Together...
Clinicians make a variety of judgments about their clients, from judging personality traits to making diagnoses, and a variety of methods are available to do so, ranging from observations to structured interviews. A large body of work demonstrates that from a brief glimpse of another’s nonverbal behavior, a variety of...
The resurgence of cucurbit downy mildew has dramatically influenced production of cucurbits and disease management systems at multiple scales. Long-distance dispersal is a fundamental aspect of epidemic development that influences the timing and extent of outbreaks of cucurbit downy mildew. The dispersal potential of Pseudoperonospora cubensis appears to be limited...
