E.E. Angino, G.K. Billings, N. Andersen
1966, Chemical Geology (1) 145-153
On samples obtained from five widely separated areas of the North Atlantic Ocean 91 determinations of strontium were made. These include surface and deep-water samples from both the cold North Atlantic area and the warm subtropical Caribbean area. The results differ from...
Life history of the gizzard shad, Dorosoma cepedianum (Le Sueur), in western Lake Erie
Anthony Bodola
1966, Fishery Bulletin (65) 391-425
The rapid increase in the stocks of gizzard shad in Lake Erie since 1950 unquestionably had an important effect on the ecology of the lake. The present study, based on almost 24,000 fish collected by various means in 1952-55 in or near the island area of western Lake Erie was...

Crystallization of tholeiitic basalt in Alae Lava Lake, Hawaii
D. L. Peck, T. L. Wright, J.G. Moore
1966, Bulletin Volcanologique (29) 629-655
The eruption of Kilauea Volcano August 21–23, 1963, left 600,000 cubic meters of basaltic lava in a lava lake as much as 15 meters deep in Alae pit crater. Field studies of the lake began August 27 and include repeated core drilling, measurements of temperature in the crust and melt,...
Some Debye temperatures from single-crystal elastic constant data
R. A. Robie, J.L. Edwards
1966, Journal of Applied Physics (37) 2659-2663
The mean velocity of sound has been calculated for 14 crystalline solids by using the best recent values of their single‐crystal elastic stiffness constants. These mean sound velocities have been used to obtain the elastic Debye temperatures θDe for these materials. Models of the three wave velocity surfaces for calcite are illustrated....
Sediment movement on the continental shelf near Washington and Oregon
M. Grant Gross, Jack L. Nelson
1966, Science (154) 879-885
The nuclides zinc-65 and cobalt-60 associated with river-borne particulate matter are incorporated in sediment on the Continental Shelf near the Colum- ia River. Changes in the relative concentrations of zinc-65 and cobalt-60 and in the ratio of the activity of zinc-65 and cobalt-60 suggest that radioactive sediment moves northward 12...
Determination of Columbia River flow times from Pasco, Washington using radioactive tracers introduced by the Hanford reactors
Jack L. Nelson, R.W. Perkins, W.L. Haushild
1966, Water Resources Research (2) 31-39
Radioactive tracers introduced into the Columbia River in cooling water from the Hanford reactors were used to measure flow times downstream from Pasco, Washington, as far as Astoria, Oregon. The use of two tracer methods was investigated. One method used the decay of a steady release of Na24 (15-hour half-life)...

Waste injection into a deep limestone in northwestern Florida
J.T. Barraclough
1966, Groundwater (4) 22-24
During a three-month trial period, 70 million gallons of industrial wastes were successfully injected at moderate pressures into a deep limestone in the westernmost part of Florida. The movement of these wastes is expected to be predominantly southward toward the natural discharge area which is presumed to be far out...

Seasonal and depth distribution of larval bloaters (Coregonus hoyi) in southeastern Lake Michigan
LaRue Wells
1966, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (95) 388-396
Larvae of bloaters (Coregonus hoyi) were sampled systematically in southeastern Lake Michigan, off Saugatuck, Michigan, from 9 April to 22 August 1964; limited additional sampling was done on 15 October. All collections were made with a 1-m plankton net of 0.66-mm mesh. A standard series of samples consisted of...
Preparation of dart tags for use in the field

The relation between molecular structure and biological activity among mononitrophenols containing halogens
Vernon C. Applegate, B. G. H. Johnson, Manning A. Smith
1966, Technical Report 11
The results of tests of the biological activity of certain nitrophenols containing halogen are reported. Some of these are shown to be significantly more toxic to larvae of the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus L.) than to fishes. It is proposed that the death of lamprey larvae exposed to these compounds...

Stream quality in Appalachia as related to coal-mine drainage, 1965
James E. Biesecker, J. Richard George
1966, Circular 526
A stream-quality reconnaissance at 318 locations in May 1965 offered the first opportunity for a contemporaneous regional collection and appraisal of water-quality data in Appalachia. The results provide a means of regional comparison of the influence of coal-mine drainage on stream quality at approximately median streamflow. The results disclose that...

Some effects of sublethal concentrations of sodium arsenite on bluegills and the aquatic environment
P.A. Gilderhus
1966, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (95) 289-296
Bluegills were exposed to sodium arsenite at various concentrations and treatment frequencies in outdoor pools. The effects of the treatments on the fish and invertebrates in the pools were assessed. Applications totaling 4.0 ppm or more of NaAsO2 during the experiment were reflected in reduced survival and growth of the...

1966, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (1) 387-391
Radioisotope analyses of basalt samples from Hawaii, Japan, and Iwo Jima show that: (1)234U and238U are virtually in radioactive equilibrium, (2)230Th exceeds equilibrium values in all these samples, (3)210Pb concentrations range from 10–200% of the equilibrium values and average 30% deficient, and...
