Patrick J. Manion
1968, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (97) 484-486
The life history of the landlocked sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, has been described by several authors, the two most recent of which are Applegate and Wigley. The only information on the production of larvae from nests of the sea lamprey was reported by Applegate, who counted the larvae from three...
Two hermaphroditic alewives from Lake Michigan
Thomas A. Edsall, Margaret I. Saxon
1968, Copeia (1968) 406-407
Hermaphroditism has been reported frequently among many of the Clupeidae, but only one account of hermaphroditism has been published for the alewife, Alosa pseudoharengus. Rothschild discovered four hermaphroditic alewives among 444 fish he examined from Cayuga Lake, New York. We recently collected two hermaphroditic alewives from Lake Michigan....

Frederick H. Dahl
1968, Progressive Fish-Culturist (30) 183-184
A STUDY OF MIGRATORY BEHAVIOR of parasitic sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) in the Great Lakes required a means of capturing lampreys for tagging and releasing in St. Marys River, Lake Huron. Smith and Elliott (1953) fished specially made gill and trap nets for sea lampreys, but stationary nets could not...
Design and construction of a dual recharge system at Minot, North Dakota
Wayne A. Pettyjohn
1968, Groundwater (6) 4-8
In 1965, a ground-water recharge facility was constructed and placed in operation to forestall an impending water shortage at Minot, North Dakota. The facility is unique in that the rate of recharge to a buried sand and gravel aquifer is augmented by perforating an overlying bed of clay using hydraulic...
Gas chromatographic separation and quantitative estimation of barbiturate mixtures in solid dosage forms
J. L. Allen
1968, Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (51) 619-621
A gas chromatographic method has been described for the analysis of mixed barbiturates in solid dosage forms. Analysis on a 10% SE-30 column gave good separations for butabarbital, amobarbital, secobarbital, pentobarbital, and/or phenobarbital; amobarbital is not separated adequately from pentobarbital. An internal standard, mephobarbital, is used to minimize injection errors....

Species succession and fishery exploitation in the Great Lakes
Stanford H. Smith
1968, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (25) 667-693
The species composition of fish in the Great Lakes has undergone continual change since the earliest records. Some changes were caused by enrichment of the environment, but others primarily by an intensive and selective fishery for certain species. Major changes related to the fishery were less frequent before the late...
Structural charge site influence on the interlayer hydration of expandable three-sheet clay minerals
Raymond L. Kerns Jr., Charles J. Mankin
1968, Clays and Clay Minerals (16) 73-81
Previous investigations have demonstrated the influences of interlayer cation composition, relative humidity, temperature, and magnitude of interlayer surface charge on the interlayer hydration of montmorillonites and vermiculites. It has been suggested that the sites of layer charge deficiencies may also have an influence upon the amount of hydration that can...
Paleomagnetism and the compositions of highly-oxidised iron-titanium oxides in basalts
P.J. Smith
1968, Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors (1) 88-92
As a preliminary step towards determination of the source of the natural remanence in highly-oxidised basalt lava flows, electron probe microanalysis has been carried out on the two main phases in each of two types of highly-oxidised iron-titanium oxide. The discovery of the source of NRM in these basalts is...

The alewife
Stanford H. Smith
1968, Limnos (1) 12-20
When the first alewife, Alosa pseudoharengus, was discovered in Lake Michigan near South Manitou Island on May 5, 1949, few people would have guessed that it would become the best known fish of the lake in less than two decades. Now it competes only with the coho salmon in...
Daytime distribution of Pontoporeia affinis off bottom in Lake Michigan
LaRue Wells
1968, Limnology and Oceanography (13) 703-705
The vertical migration of the amphipod Pontoporeia affinis in Lake Michigan has been well documented by Wells, Marzolf, and McNaught and Hasler. Wells and Marzolf observed Pontoporeia off bottom only at night. McNaught and Hasler, however, found Pontoporeia above the bottom shortly after noon in a 24-hr study on 12...
Annulus formation on scales of four species of coregonids reared under artificial conditions
Walter J. Hogman
1968, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (25) 2111-2122
Scales from known-age coregonids reared in the laboratory were examined to determine when annuli formed and to learn possible factors of their formation. Scales were taken monthly from marked fish for periods up to 21 months. Scales were also examined from fish that died and from preserved specimens of young-of-the-year...
An improved girthometer for studies of gill net selectivity
Richard S. Wydoski, David R. Wolfert
1968, Progressive Fish-Culturist (30) 62-64
Gill nets are effective for collecting samples of many fish species. These nets may be highly selective in their catch, depending on the mesh size or sizes used and on the size distribution and body shape of the fish in the population. Early studies related mesh selectivity to...
Distribution and abundance of the Japanese snail, Viviparus japonicus, and associated macrobenthos in Sandusky Bay, Ohio
David R. Wolfert, Jarl K. Hiltunen
1968, Ohio Journal of Science (68) 32-40
A survey of the macrobenthos of Sandusky Bay, Lake Erie, in June, 1963, provided information on the abundance and distribution of the introduced Japanese snail, Viviparus japonicus, which has become a nuisance to commercial seine fishermen. The abundance and distribution varied considerably within the bay; at the time of the...
An electric beam trawl for the capture of larval lampreys
Alberton McLain, Frederick H. Dahl
1968, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (97) 289-293
The chemicals used to control the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, in the Great Lakes have drastically reduced populations of larval lampreys in tributary streams. These larvicides are too costly and difficult to apply, however, in inland lakes, estuaries, and bays. Populations of sea lampreys in these areas constitute...
