Miller Lake was chemically treated with toxaphene on September 16, 1958 to destroy a population of parasitic lamprey (E.tridentatus) and Tui Chub (Siphatelep bicolor). Toxaphene was applied at the rate of 0.04 ppm. No lamprey or fish have been collected in the lake since the chemical treatment. Work since 1959...
Malheur Reservoir located in Malheur County, Oregon, was chemically treated with liquid rotenone on October 11, 1962 to eliminate an abundant population of black crappie and a smaller population of fine scale suckers and redside shiners.

The treatment procedures are discussed by project segment within the report. A portion of the funds was appropriated by the U. S. Bureau...
Fintrol-5 was experimentally tested in six isolated gold dredge ponds in Sumpter Valley. The tests revealed all coarse fish in treated ponds were killed in a period varying between 7 hours and 144 hours; toxic water subbing from treated ponds would kill fish in downstream ponds if water table dillution...
The project objectives were to determine the possibility of raising the subterranean water in adequate amounts by installation of an underground weir; to determine what type of structure would be most feasible; and to formulate a biological evaluation program if the first two objectives were accomplished. Tex Creek, tributary to...
South Twin Lake in Deschutes County, Oregon was chemically treated September 14, 1965, to eliminate a population of Tui Chub (Siphateles bicolor). A total of 605 gallons of liquid synergized rotenone and 9,750 pounds of powdered rotenone was applied to the lake. It was estimated that 130,000 mature chub were...
Clear Creek, tributary of North Fork John Day River, is a mountain stream located in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon. It joins Granite Creek about 1.5 miles below the old abandoned mining town of Granite. Gravel removed from Clear Creek by gold dredging activity was replaced in a 3.37-mile...
A segment of the Crooked River, Crook County, Oregon, was chemically treated along with sections of Ochoco Creek, McKay Creek, and Dry River from August 13 to November 5, 1963.' A total of 860 gallons of liquid synergized rotenone (Pro-Noxfish) was used to obtain toxicities up to 2.0 ppm in...
The following projects were completed between July 1, 1965, and June 30, 1966, under the stream clearance segment of the State-wide Stream Improvement Program. The larger segments were initiated by requesting competitive bids with the contract for logjam removal awarded to the lowest acceptable bid. The smaller projects were undertaken...

The Tenmile Lakes Project for partial control of warm-water fish was initiated in August of 1964, One qualified fishery biologist and one conservation aide were assigned to do the work. The reduction in assigned personnel was due to lack of funds. Although this was to be a joint project with...
Opossum shrimp, Mysis relicta Loven, were collected at Upper Waterton Lake, Alberta, Canada in the summer of 1967, terminating a three-year project. Approximately 1,090,000 Mysis were transplanted into Big Cultus, Crescent, Detroit, Fourmile, Ice, Miller, Odell, Olive, Timothy, Waldo, and Wallowa Lakes in an attempt to enhance the quantity of...
In earlier years, the lower Owyhee River provided excellent trout angling. In recent years, the fishery had declined to one maintained with the annual stocking of legal size hatchery trout on a put and take basis. Stream surveys completed in 1966 indicated the 16 1/2-mile section of the lower river...
The objective of the reservoir research project is to gather and assemble data concerning the game and rough fish populations in Round Butte, Prineville, and Ochoco Reservoirs to enable efficient management of the fisheries.
The project has been divided into three different jobs, and these are:
a. Job 1 -...
The upper drainage of the John Day River system produces summer steelhead and spring chinook salmon. The fish are generally confined to the main stem and its tributaries above Prairie City. The spawning and rearing areas are comparatively free of undesirable fish species, but salmonid smolts migrating downstream must travel...
The construction of Illinois Falls fish ladder on the Illinois River in Oregon was completed in November 1961. The ladder was opened and operated during the winter of 1961-62. Final cleanup and rock removal was completed in the fall of 1962. The ladder was installed on a natural barrier where...
Opossum shrimp Mysis relicta were collected in Upper Waterton Lake, Alberta, Canada, in the summer of 1966 for the second successive year. Approximately 650,000 were collected and introduced into Waldo, Wallowa, Big Cultus, Crescent, and Timothy Lakes in Oregon.
The Opossum shrimp Mysis relicta were collected in Upper Waterton Lake, Alberta, Canada in late August and early September 1965. Approximately 320,000 shrimp were introduced into Waldo, Wallowa, Big Cultus and Timothy Lakes in Oregon.
Big Lava Lake in Deschutes County, Oregon, was chemically treated September 19, 1963, to eliminate a population of roach and white fish.

No-till pasture renovation can increase the quality and forage yield of underproductive pastures. Decreased erosion, lower costs, and less lost grazing time are advantages of no-till renovation compared to conventional renovation. Unwanted vegetation is first controlled with herbicides to decrease competition for introduced orchardgrass. Two field trials were conducted using...

Oyster reefs provide an array of ecosystem services. Specifically, they provide structurally complex habitat for fish and invertebrate species such as the commercially important Dungeness crab, Metacarcinus magister. This ecosystem service, once provided by the native oyster Ostrea lurida, is now provided by the commercially cultured oyster Crassostrea gigas in...
