The effects of exposure to suspended silt, kaolin and fuller's
earth on growth and condition of Pacific oysters, 16 months of age,
were studied. The exposure apparatus maintained a continuous flow
of turbid water through chambers containing test oysters. Additional
studies measured the filtration rates of oysters exposed to suspended...
A perennial grass grown in strips between the rows of grapevines, with a bare soil herbicide strip under the rows of vines, is a common form of vineyard soil management. Irrigation, though not practiced for grape culture in western Oregon at this time, could be used to supplement the soil...
A Cr₂0₃, and cellulose fibre mixture was used with cattle, in
three grazing and two semi-restricted experiments, to study the mode
of its excretion, the possibility of using it in a once-daily dosing and
grab-sample regime to estimate fecal output and in a field experiment
to test a hypothesis involving...

Questions of assemblage persistence, resiliency arid continuity in time were investigated with data from seasonal bottom trawl surveys conducted by the Northeast Fisheries Center, Woods Hole,
Massachusetts, from 1963-1978. Cluster analysis proved to be a useful statistical method for delineating assemblage boundries and corresponding resident demersal fish components from Georges...
