The infection intensity of the monogenetic trematode Gyrodactyus stellatus on laboratory held English sole (Parophrys vetulus) appeared to be influenced by handling stress, substrate, and starvation. In bioassays testing G. stellatus survival times in mucus and serum collected from laboratory held sole at different times during trematode infection, trematode survival...
The English sole is a major contributor to Pacific Ocean trawl fisheries off the United States and Canada. Only Dover sole and sometimes petrale sole provide greater annual landings in Oregon.
English sole are considered fine eating sole and usually enjoy a good market. In British Columbia, local consumers of...
This thesis focuses upon whether stressful aspects of an organism's environment are reflected by that organism's shape. It presents an application of the powerful thin-plate spline and relative warp methods from morphometric analysis to demonstrate the overall utility of morphometrics in detecting environmental stress in an estuarine flatfish, the English...
This issue of the PMFC bulletin focuses primarily on the English sole, including results of tagging off of various coasts and studies of various populations of English sole. It also gives a review of sablefish tagging in California and details the Oregon trawl fishery for mink food up to 1965.
This study examined the logbook record of the Oregon trawl fishery using a geographic information system (GIS) to determine the spatial and temporal distribution of English sole, Pleuronectes vetulus. The original logbook data for the years 1981,1982,1994,1995,1996 were filtered twice to provide both a general description of trends in the...
English sole (Parophrys vetulus) is a flatfish found in abundance in the Pacific Ocean and is part of the Pacific Northwest's and California's commercial trawl fishery. Stock levels of this fish are at all time highs but there are decreased landings due to low demand and acceptability. With new regulations...
Observations of the Oregon coast’s physical oceanography over the last few decades have revealed falling dissolved oxygen levels associated with seasonal upwelling, as well as rising water temperatures. In extreme cases, these changes have been associated with die-offs, redistribution, and decreased abundance and diversity of benthic fish and invertebrates. Many...
English sole is a major contributor to Oregon and Washington groundfish resources. In accordance with the continued trend of increasing fishing effort, in 1975 Oregon State University Sea Grant
funded an extensive groundfish research program: the Pleuronectid Project. The purpose was to provide information to assist resource management agencies. This...
