Abnormal, large, possibly neoplastic cells from two Ostrea /urida have been successfully labeled with tritiated thymidine, and thus, for the first time, data are available for analyzing a presumptive invertebrate proliferative disorder. Large numbers of labeled atypical cells (AC) were uniformly distributed throughout the connective tissue (CT) underlying the gills,...
This brief one page report was presumably written by R.E. Dimick, a prominent Oregon State University professor who studied the oysters of Yaquina Bay, Oregon during the 20th century. This report details human use of the native oyster through 1923.
The Olympia oyster is a foundation species that increases habitat structure for associate species in estuarine systems of the Pacific Coast of North America (Kimbro & Grosholz, 2006). This oyster provides ecosystem services in the form of water filtration (zu Ermgassen et al., 2013), habitat for commercially valuable species such...
Reports on a 1989 outbreak of Hepatitis A believed to have been associated with consumption of oysters from Yaquina Bay. Discusses highly unusual dry-season water monitoring showing fecal contamination in the river.
Oregon's estuaries are important ecosystems for scientific study. Consequently, knowledge of what research has been conducted helps us identify benchmarks and plan new projects. A comprehensive bibliography of published research, technical reports, local documents, and data sets is one means of recording this knowledge. For these reasons, the Guin Library...
During the six-month period of July through December, 1966,
a study of animals inhabiting laminarian holdfasts in Yaquina Bay,
Oregon, was carried out to determine what animals live in this habitat
and to gain some idea of the factors which influence their presence
and distribution. This study deals with yet...
This important document includes a report by George W. Wood describing the condition of the entrance to Yaquina Bay before human modification. It describes the original entrance as a braided channel with a shifting main channel, and a depth in the main channel at low tide of only 9 feet.
Unpublished manuscript that was distributed locally and is cited in contemporary publications. Describes oyster grounds, gives a brief history of the oyster industry in Yaquina Bay, reports on current conditions. Tables show salinity of Yaquina Bay for May-August, 1931 and 1931 spawning season. Recommends expanding production on State-owned beds.
