The hypotheses to be tested in this investigation are: 1) there is a threshold level of liver lipid and glycogen content above which the health condition of hatchery-reared fish is impaired, 2) fatty and high glycogen livers impair liver function...

The relative resistance of the coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and the chinook salmon (O. tshawyscha) to the parasitic larvae (glochidia) of the freshwater mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) was studied in an attempt to determine why the coho...

Commerical preparations and published formulations using reagent chemicals for seawater substitutes were not biologically acceptable to Mytilus edulis embryos, in that calcification did not occur. When Leslie coarse hide salt was used as the...

The heritability of resistance to death from the effects of lead in laboratory guppy populations was determined from comparisons between progeny produced in a nested breeding experiment and from mass selection experiments. Resistance was measured...

Prior to onset of the breeding season, a ration containing 18.4 mg/kg N-(Ethylmercuri)-p-toluene sulphonanilide was fed to 6 male and 16 female ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus). Birds receiving the mercury-treated ration were separated...

The merits of fertilizing warmwater fish ponds with dry organic manure were studied from October, 1964 to November, 1965 using two experimental ponds in the Willamette Valley. One pond (pond II) was fertilized with urea and single superphosphate...

This study¹ was undertaken: (1) to obtain information on the distribution of the snail, Oxytrema silicula, in three coastal rivers in Oregon, and the seasonal incidence of infection in these snails and in snails from an inland stream, with the...

Home range, dispersal, homing and density of Townsend's mole, Scapanus townsendii (Bachman), were studied during 1964 near Tillamook, Oregon. Additional information on the success of marking and capture techniques and the response of moles to...

During the summers of 1967 and 1968 the horizontal distribution and did vertical migrations of zooplankton were studied within the unique environment of Crater Lake. Sampling of the horizontal distribution was done by towing plankton nets...

Damage by Belding's ground squirrel (Spermophilus beldingi) to alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and the efficacies of various poisoning regimes to reduce damage were evaluated during March-July, 1976 and 1977. Regimes examined were designed to measure...

Shallow-water habitats (< 0.5 m depth) of the upper littoral zone of John Day Pool of the Columbia River were heavily used by young fishes in comparison with lower littoral and limnetic waters. Through the season, 96.9% of the 64,700 larvae and...

Biliary excretion of taurocholate in thermally acclimated rainbow trout was stimulated at higher environmental temperature (18 vs. 14 or 10° C)e Acute 4° C shifts in body temperature produced more pronounced changes in biliary excretion. Thermally...
