Most fishes exhibit differences in activity patterns from day to night, with a switch from
high to low activity at dusk and reverse at dawn. Marine reef fishes show similar behavior
among sites, despite dissimilar species assemblages, suggesting that common selection pressures
are leading to convergent behavior. Few studies to...
From January 1980 to January 1981 approximate monthly sampling of a unique rockfish (Scorpaenidae) fishing area on Heceta Bank, Oregon was undertaken using acoustic techniques and trawling aboard chartered commercial fishing vessels. Rankings of density of fish sign observed on acoustic transects were regressed against selected environmental variables. Acoustic abundance...
The garibaldi, Hypsypops rubicundus, is a sexually monochromatic pomacentrid found in rocky subtidal areas of Southern and Baja California. During the spawning season, males attempt to attract females to a nest of red algae located within individually defended territories. Females were observed to enter the nests of several males before...
Redband trout density was examined in three forested streams in central
Oregon at two scales, pool channel unit and microhabitat. Two streams were in
roadless areas and one was in a "highly managed" watershed. At the larger
spatial scale, trout displayed a seasonal shift in habitat use from early to...
This study was an investigation to determine the distribution, abundance and general food habits of salmonids and non-game fishes residing in several selected coastal streams, Douglas and Coos Counties, Oregon. The physical conditions that characterize the various stream habitat types were monitored and the influence of physical conditions on the...
A varied and complex assemblage of fishes inhabit the coastal waters of Oregon. The variety of habitats, the ocean current patterns, and the geographical placement (42° to 46° N) of this coast allow for visitation and colonization by northern and southern inshore fishes as well as those from the open...

During 1963 and 1964 collections were made in tributaries of
the lower Columbia River and literature was reviewed to compile a
list of fishes from that area.
Based on available sources and collections in this study, a
total of 28 families and 77 species are known from the lower Columbia...
