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 to increase smolt...
Relationships of phytomacrofauna to surface area in naturally occurring macrophyte stands
Charles L. Brown, Thomas P. Poe, John R. P. French III, Donald W. Schloesser
1988, Journal of the North American Benthological Society (7) 129-139
Most studies of the relationships between freshwater macrophytes and phytomacrofauna, or the macroinvertebrates associated with the macrophytes, have been based on individual plant collections or samples from monotypic plant stands. We describe the phytomacrofauna assemblages within naturally occurring, taxonomically mixed stands, and consider how macrophyte surface area and plant...
The stress heat-flow paradox and thermal results from Cajon Pass
A.H. Lachenbruch, J.H. Sass
1988, Geophysical Research Letters (15) 981-984
Conventional friction models predict a substantial thermal anomaly associated with active traces of strike-slip faults, but no such anomaly is observed from over 100 heat-flow determinations along 1,000 km of the San Andreas fault. The Cajon Pass well is being drilled to bring deep heat-flow and...

Donald W. Schloesser, Charles L. Brown, Bruce A. Manny
1988, Journal of Aerospace Engineering (1) 142-150
This study demonstrates the feasibility of using low-altitude aerial photography to inventory submersed macrophytes in the connecting channels of the Great Lakes. For this purpose, we obtained aerial color transparencies and collateral ground truth information about submersed vegetation at 160 stations within four study sites in the St. Clair and...
Comparison of hatchery-reared lake trout stocked as fall fingerlings and as spring yearlings in Lake Ontario
Joseph H. Elrod, David E. Ostergaard, Clifford P. Schneider
1988, North American Journal of Fisheries Management (8) 455-462
We made 16 paired releases of lake trout Salvelinus namaycush of four year classes (1979–1982) at five locations to compare survival and growth of hatchery-reared fish stocked as fall fingerlings (FF) and as spring yearlings (SY). Comparisons were based on fish at ages 2–8 recovered with bottom trawls, with gill nets, and...
Chemical characterization and mutagenic properties of polycyclic aromatic compounds in sediment from tributaries of the Great Lakes
David L. Fabacher, Christopher J. Schmitt, John M. Besser, Michael J. Mac
1988, Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (7) 529-543
Sediments from four inshore industrial sites and a reference site in the Great Lakes were extracted with solvents and characterized chemically for polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs). An aqueous phase and a crude organic extract were obtained. The crude organic extract was further resolved into fractions A-2 (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and...
Global color and albedo variations on Io
A. S. McEwen
1988, Icarus (73) 385-426
Three multispectral mosaics of Io have been produced from Voyager imaging data: a global mosaic from each of the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 data sets and a high-resolution mosaic of the region surrounding the volcano Ra Patera. The mosaics are...

The St. Clair River and Lake St. Clair form a part of the connecting channel system between Lake Huron and Lake Erie. This report synthesizes existing information on the ecological structure and function of this ecosystem. Chapters include descriptions of climatology, hydrology, and geology of the region; biological...
The Detroit River, Michigan: an ecological profile
Bruce A. Manny, Thomas A. Edsall, Eugene Jaworski
1988, Biological Report 85(7.17)
A part of the connecting channel system between Lake Huron and Lake Erie, the Detroit River forms an integral link between the two lakes for both humans and biological resources such as fish, nutrients, and plant detritus. This profile summarizes existing scientific information on the ecological structure and functioning...
Applications of a simulation model to decisions in mallard management
L.M. Cowardin, Douglas H. Johnson, T.L. Shaffer, D. W. Sparling
1988, Fish and Wildlife Technical Report 17
A system comprising simulation models and data bases for habitat availability and nest success rates was used to predict results from a mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) management plan and to compare six management methods with a control. Individual treatments in the applications included land purchase for waterfowl production, wetland easement purchase,...
Generation of pyroclastic flows and surges by hot-rock avalanches from the dome of Mount St. Helens volcano, USA
R.A. Mellors, R. B. Waitt, D. A. Swanson
1988, Bulletin of Volcanology (50) 14-25
Several hot-rock avalanches have occurred during the growth of the composite dome of Mount St. Helens, Washington between 1980 and 1987. One of these occurred on 9 May 1986 and produced a fan-shaped avalanche deposit of juvenile dacite debris together with a more extensive pyroclastic-flow deposit. Laterally thinning deposits and...
Isotopic studies of epigenetic features in metalliferous sediment, Atlantis II Deep, Red Sea
Robert A. Zierenberg, Wayne C. Shanks III
1988, Canadian Mineralogist (26 pt 3) 737-753
The unique depositional environment of the Atlantis II Deep brine pool in the Red Sea produces a stratiform metalliferous deposit of greater areal extent than deposits formed by buoyant-plume systems typical of the midocean ridges because of much more efficient metal entrapment. Isotopic analyses of strontium, sulfur, carbon, and oxygen...

A. G. Brady, E. C. Etheredge, R. L. Porcella
1988, Earthquake Spectra (4) 55-74
More than 250 strong-motion accelerograph stations were triggered by the Whittier Narrows, California, earthquake of 1 October 1987. Considering the number of multichannel structural stations in the area of strong shaking, this set of records is one of the more significant in history. Three networks, operated by the U.S. Geological...
Simulation and video animation of canal flushing created by a tide gate
David H. Schoellhamer
1988, Conference Paper
A tide-gate algorithm was added to a one-dimensional unsteady flow model that was calibrated, verified, and used to determine the locations of as many as five tide gates that would maximize flushing in two canal systems. Results from the flow model were used to run a branched Lagrangian transport model...
On low-frequency errors of uniformly modulated filtered white-noise models for ground motions
Erdal Safak, David M. Boore
1988, Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics (16) 381-388
Low-frequency errors of a commonly used non-stationary stochastic model (uniformly modulated filtered white-noise model) for earthquake ground motions are investigated. It is shown both analytically and by numerical simulation that uniformly modulated filter white-noise-type models systematically overestimate the spectral response for periods longer than the effective duration of the earthquake,...
