Part I. To aid in the management of the Tillamook Bay commercial salmon fishery, a tagging program was conducted on the salmon and steelhead trout runs in 1953. General migration behavior, the minimum length of time the fish remained in the fishery, population sizes, and fishing mortalities were determined from...
1. There is no evidence of a decline in the striped bass population of Coos Bay.
2. The striped bass, a species introduced to the West Coast of North America, has been important as a recreational and commercial fish in Coos Bay since the late 1920s. The catch has ranged...
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...
Metal-oxo clusters are discrete, soluble pieces of bulk metal oxide. Cluster size, monodispersity, and chemical properties allow for potential use as solution-based precursors for functional metal oxide films. Classical monoalkyltin-oxo clusters are either charge neutral or stabilized by anions. The structure of Cs₄.₅H₂.₅[(BuSn)₃(α-SiW₉O₃₇)]*2H₂O enables its use in established ion exchange...
Riverine plumes in nearshore coastal waters are areas of enhanced production and accumulation of prey and may increase availability of food during a critical period of juvenile salmon survival and hence serve as a nursery area for these juveniles. Physical and biological sampling was conducted along a cross-shelf transect through...
