Urban areas currently cover a small fraction of Oregon’s landscape but will expand to accommodate an increasingly large proportion of the state’s growing population and economic activity. Residential developments on rural lands now cover more than twice the area occupied by Oregon’s urban developments and are growing rapidly. Oregon urban...
"Gnat Creek heir, constructed with federal funds and was completed in October 1955. Primary objectives were to quantitatively study fail chinook and silver salmon to: (1) determine the survival, timing, and size of juvenile salmonids resulting from natural spawning; (2) measure the survival of hatchery eared fingerlings and yearlings; (3)...
Relations between the diversity of juvenile anadromous salmonids and pool features
were examined in a managed and a pristine watershed in Oregon during the summer of
1990. There were no differences (p>0.05) in pool depth, velocity or pool wood volumes
between streams. However, the pristine system had twice the number...
Upper Cow Lake located in Malheur County, Oregon has a surface area of 975 acres and a volume of 7,150 acre-feet of water. Chemical treatment of the lake was completed September 11, 1963 to remove an abundant population of coarsescale suckers, bridgelip suckers, squawfish, black bullhead, shiners and dace.
Approximately...
Miller Lake was chemically treated with toxaphene on September 16, 1958 to destroy a population of parasitic lamprey (E.tridentatus) and Tui Chub (Siphatelep bicolor). Toxaphene was applied at the rate of 0.04 ppm. No lamprey or fish have been collected in the lake since the chemical treatment. Work since 1959...
Upper Cow Lake located in Malheur County, Oregon, Township 28 South, Range 44 East, Section 29, was chemically treated with 2,325 gallons of liquid synergized rotenone (Pro-noxfish) on September 11, 1963 to remove an abundant population of rough fish. The lake has a maximum surface area of 975 acres and...
Big Lava Lake in Deschutes County, Oregon, was chemically treated September 19, 1963, to eliminate a population of roach and white fish. An estimated kill in excess of 400,000 fish resulted from the application of 4,620 gallons of liquid rotenone (Pro-Noxfish) at a toxicity of 2.0 ppm. Live -boxed brook...
Unity Reservoir in Baker County, Oregon, was chemically treated with liquid rotenone on October 17, 1962. Approximately 136 miles of streams and diversion ditches and seven small ponds, tributary to the reservoir, were treated with liquid rotenone prior to work on the reservoir. The reservoir at time of treatment contained...
Malheur Reservoir located in Malheur County, Oregon, was chemically treated with liquid rotenone on October 11, 1962 to eliminate an abundant population of black crappie and a smaller population of fine scale suckers and redside shiners.
Tests for toxicity indicated the reservoir had detoxified prior to December 1, 1962.
