Predation of Karluk River sockeye salmon by coho salmon and char
J.D. McIntyre, R.R. Reisenbichler, J.M. Emlen, R.L. Wilmot, J.E. Finn
1988, Fishery Bulletin (86) 611-616
The number of sockeye salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka, in Alaska's Karluk River (Fig. 1) declined from millions to thousands during the early part of the present century. Rounsefell (1958) discussed alternative explanations for the decline including a general loss offertility ofthe system as the number of salmon carcasses declined, competition, overfishing,...
Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies recognize antigenic variants among isolates of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus
J. R. Winton, C.N. Arakawa, C.N. Lannan, J. L. Fryer
1988, Diseases of Aquatic Organisms (4) 199-204
eutralizing monoclonal antibodies were developed against strains of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) from steelhead trout Salmo gairdneri in the Deschutes River of Oregon, chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha in the Sacramento River of California, and rainbow trout Salmo gairdneri reared in the Hagerman Valley of Idaho, USA. These antibodies were...
Selection to increase survival of smolts in four successive broods of coho salmon
J.D. McIntyre, A.R. Hemmingsen, R.C. Simon
1988, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (117) 90-92
Survival from smolt to adult for full and half-sib families of coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch was used to identify families with the highest survival rates at Big Creek Salmon Hatchery in Oregon. Adult fish from families with high survival were bred selectively for four consecutive generations in an attempt...
Effects of variation in flow on distribution of northern squawfish (Ptychocheilus oregonensis) below McNary Dam on the Columbia River
M.P. Faler, L.M. Miller, K.I. Welke
1988, North American Journal of Fisheries Management (8) 30-35
The movements of 23 northern Squawfish Ptychocheilus oregonensis were monitored by radiotelemetry below a Columbia River hydroelectric dam during the out-migration of juvenile anadromous salmonids in 1984 and 1985. The work was done as part of a study to relate predator abundances and distribution to juvenile salmonid mortalities associated with...
Relationship between annual runoff and watershed area for the eastern United States
Barry P. Rochelle, M. Robbins Church, Warren A. Gebert, David J. Graczyk, William R. Krug
1988, Water Resources Bulletin (24) 35-41
As part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's effort to determine the long-term effects of acidic deposition on surface water chemistry, annual runoff was estimated for about 1000 ungaged sites in the eastern U.S. using runoff contour maps. One concern in using contour maps was that a bias may be...

1988, Professional Paper 1386
U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1386, Satellite Image Atlas of Glaciers of the World, contains 11 chapters designated by the letters A through K. Chapter A provides a comprehensive, yet concise, review of the "State of the Earth's Cryosphere at the Beginning of the 21st Century: Glaciers, Global Snow Cover,...
Assessment of sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) predation by recovery of dead lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) from Lake Ontario, 1982-85
Roger A. Bergstedt, Clifford P. Schneider
1988, Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (45) 1406-1410
During 1982-85, 89 dead lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) were recovered with bottom trawls in U.S. waters of Lake Ontario: 28 incidentally during four annual fish-stock assessment surveys and 61 during fall surveys for dead fish. During the assessment surveys, no dead lake trout were recovered in April-June, one was recovered...
Characterization of an avian cholera epizootic in wild birds in western Nebraska
R. M. Windingstad, S.M. Kerr, R. M. Duncan, C. J. Brand
1988, Avian Diseases (32) 124-131
Avian cholera killed an estimated 2500 birds in western Nebraska and eastern Wyoming from 28 November 1985 to late January 1986. Wild mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) suffered the most losses. Other wild waterfowl, wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo), a few domestic fowl, and a bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) also died. Pasteurella multocida...
The Goodman swell: A lithospheric flexure caused by crustal loading along the midcontinent rift system
Z. E. Peterman, P.K. Sims
1988, Tectonics (7) 1077-1090
Rb-Sr biotite ages of Archean and Early to Middle Proterozoic crystalline rocks in northern Wisconsin and adjacent Upper Peninsula of Michigan describe a regionally systematic pattern related to differential uplift. An “age low” occurs in northern Wisconsin where values range from 1070–1172 Ma for rocks with crystallization ages of 1760...
Geologic structure of the northern New Caledonia ridge, as inferred from magnetic and gravity anomalies
J.-Y. Collot, P. Rigolot, F. Missegue
1988, Tectonics (7) 991-1013
Bathymetric, gravity, and magnetic data collected in the southwest Pacific Ocean over the northern New Caledonia ridge show that the main geological units known from the island of New Caledonia extend northward from this island, beneath the Grand Lagon Nord, the Grand Passage, and the d'Entrecasteaux reefs. These data support...
Tectonics of formation, translation, and dispersal of the Coast Range ophiolite of California
R. J. McLaughlin, M.C. Blake Jr., A. Griscom, C.D. Blome, B. Murchey
1988, Tectonics (7) 1033-1056
Data from the Coast Range ophiolite and its tectonic outliers in the northern California Coast Ranges suggest that the lower part of the ophiolite formed 169 to 163 Ma in a forearc or back arc setting at equatorial latitudes. Beginning about 156 Ma and continuing until 145 Ma, arc magmatism...
Host selection by the shiny cowbird
J. W. Wiley
1988, Condor (90) 289-303
Factors important in Shiny Cowbird (Molothrus bonariensis) host selection were examined within the mangrove community in Puerto Rico. Cowbirds did not parasitize birds in proportion to their abundance. The cowbird breeding season coincided with those of its major hosts, which were 'high-quality' foster species (i.e., species that fledge .gtoreq. 55%...
MARKOV: A methodology for the solution of infinite time horizon MARKOV decision processes
B. Kenneth Williams
1988, Applied Stochastic Models and Data Analysis (4) 253-271
Algorithms are described for determining optimal policies for finite state, finite action, infinite discrete time horizon Markov decision processes. Both value-improvement and policy-improvement techniques are used in the algorithms. Computing procedures are also described. The algorithms are appropriate for processes that are either finite or infinite, deterministic or stochastic, discounted...
Organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, and mercury in osprey eggs – 1970-79 – And their relationships to shell thinning and productivity
Stanley N. Wiemeyer, Christine M. Bunck, Alexander J. Krynitsky
1988, Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (17) 767-787
Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) eggs were collected in 14 states in 1970–79 and analyzed for organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and mercury. Moderate shell thinning occurred in eggs from several areas. DDE was detected in all eggs, PCBs in 99%, DDD in 96%, dieldrin in 52%, and other compounds less frequently....

R. L. Chaney, W. N. Beyer, C.H. Gifford, L. Sileo
1988, Trace Substances in Environmental Health (22) 263-280
In 1979, before the primary Zn smelter at Palmerton was closed due to excessive Zn and Cd emissions and change in the price of Zn, we were contacted by a local veterinarian regarding death of foals (young horses) on farms near the smelter. To examine whether Zn or Cd contamination...
Effects of dietary fluoride on reproduction in eastern screech-owls
O. H. Pattee, Stanley N. Wiemeyer, D. M. Swineford
1988, Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (17) 213-218
Sixty-six eastern screech-owls (Otus asio) were paired and randomly assigned to dietary treatment groups of 0, 40, or 200 ppm (mg/kg) fluoride (as sodium fluoride) in November 1981. Hatching success was adversely affected at the 200 ppm (mg/kg) level, suggesting potential detrimental impacts to wild populations exposed to fluoride pollution....
Reproduction in black-crowned night-herons fed selenium
G. J. Smith, G. H. Heinz, D. J. Hoffman, J. W. Spann, A. J. Krynitsky
1988, Lake and Reservoir Management (4) 175-180
Agricultural and industrial practices can produce wastewater that contains high concentrations of selenium, a naturally-occurring trace element. Selenium entering aquatic systems through wastewater inflow can accumulate in aquatic food chains to levels that may be toxic to fish and wildlife species. Mallard reproduction is known to be adversely affected by...
