Seafloor lithologic maps have been widely used to identify conservation sites. In this study, a lithologic interpretation of Oregon's territorial seafloor was created as an interim product in response to the need for a comprehensive lithologic map that will be used in the identification, evaluation and design of marine reserves...
Macroinvertebrates constitute the backbone of megafaunal communities in benthic ecosystems around the globe. Many macroinvertebrates have vital roles in benthic ecosystems, ranging from enhancing habitat complexity to providing staple food sources for other organisms. Regardless of how familiar macroinvertebrates are to the general public, very few studies have attempted to...
Sediments on the inner portion of the Oregon continental shelf
consist of clean, well-sorted, detrital sand. This sand has an average
median diameter of 2.53Φ (. 173 mm) and is both positively and
negatively skewed. Deposits with median diameters in the coarse
sand and gravel classes occur at depths of...
Rockfish (family Scorpanidae) are an important segment of Oregon trawl landings. Two distinct fisheries commonly produce nineteen species with 5 others rarely seen. A description of catch and catch per unit effort in the Pacific ocean perch and "other rockfish" fisheries is provided. Also reported are species composition of sampled...
As part of the SuperCODE project, three hydrographic cruises were conducted
off Oregon and California in July 1983, and January to February 1984,
and April 1984. CTD observations were made near Coos Bay at 43°13'N during 12
July 1983 and 31 January 1984, and off Newport at 44°39'N on 11-12...
As part of the SuperCODE and CODE projects, two hydrographic cruises were conducted off Oregon and California in January and April 1984. CTD sections across the continental shelf and slope were made near Coos Bay at 43°13'N, off Crescent City at 41°54%, off Eureka at 40°51%, along the Arena and...
This is the first of two technical reports derived from the dissertation
by Yao, Neng-Chun titled "Bispectral and Cross-bispectral Analysis
of Winds and Currents off the Oregon Coast. " In this first technical
report we give the theoretical development of the rotary component
approach to the bispectrum and cross-bispectrum among...
