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...
Epiphytic diatom assemblages in the intertidal zone of Yaquina
Bay and estuary were obtained from the following host macrophytes:
Zostera marina, Fucus evanescens, and species of Enteromorpha,
Polysiphonia, and Ulva. Samples were collected in September 1970
and in January and May 1971 from seven stations approximately evenly
spaced between the...
The extent of biological invasions, their role on the feeding of
native fishes and their impact on community stability were
investigated in Alsea Bay and Yaquina Bay, two estuaries on the
central Oregon coast, USA. Most nonindigenous species (NIS)
introduced in these intermediately invaded estuaries are
considered byproducts of culturing...
The benthic microalgae of sediments of the two tidal flats in
Yaquina Bay, Oregon were investigated to determine the environmental
factors limiting the abundance and the horizontal and vertical distribution
of these organisms. The Southbeach tidal flat which is under the
marine realm of deposition consists of fine to medium...
Reports on an application to construct "a log dump, to drive piling for a log storage pocket and log raft moorage, and to dredge and dump in King Slough of Yaquina Bay near Newport, Oregon." (p.1) Includes application to the Army Corps of Engineers.
The purpose of this study was to better understand benthic systems with emphasis given to the sulfur cycle. The primary focus was directed toward the release of free sulfide from benthic systems.
Hopper dredge disposal of coarse grained sediment was
investigated between May and September, 1986, at a designated disposal
area, Site G, in Coos Bay, Oregon. The objectives of the study were
to: (a) identify and describe the benthic macrofaunal community
structure at Site G during May and September, 1986; (b)...
