Unfished populations of cutthroat trout in three small coastal
streams in Oregon were studied from April of 1962 until November
of 1963. Population size, growth rate, and net production were
estimated for study areas in each stream. The nature of seasonal
movement patterns within the study areas and at fish...
Declines or extinctions of the native intertidal estuary blue mud shrimp, Upogebia pugettensis, have been observed or are suspected in all of its populations over the species’ range. These declines are associated with the introduced Asian bopyrid isopod parasite, Orthione griffenis, which effectively castrates females. Baseline estimates of population abundances...
An investigation of the correlation between a number of behavioral,
morphological and physiological parameters and dominance status of male

males performed significantly more aggressive behaviors than
subordinates and a higher proportion of these behaviors was directed
toward distantly ranked subordinates. Animals could also...
Detection of L-serine and D,L-alanine by juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) was measured in a two-choice Y-trough. Threshold concentration for olfactory
detection of L-serine was 10-8 M for zero-age parr, 1O-7 M for yearling parr, 10-5 M for smolts in late April-early May, and 10-6 M for smolts in June....
A method to measure consumers' housing consumption and
