An elutriation apparatus for macroinvertebrates
Joseph M. Worswick Jr., Michael T. Barbour
1974, Limnology and Oceanography (19) 538-540
An inexpensive hydropneumatic apparatus screens macroinvertebrates from bottom samples containing silt, mud, or clay. The elutriator, an acrylic cylinder with screened windows, cemented on an upright plastic funnel, retains benthic fauna while the sediment is washed away. The apparatus yields clean samples and has reduced the time required to sort...
Effect of acclimation temperature and heat shock on vulnerability of fry of lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) to predation
Thomas G. Yocom, Thomas A. Edsall
1974, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (31) 1503-1506
Fry of lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) acclimated to 10, 15, and 18 C were exposed to temperatures of 24.5, 25, and 28 C for 1 min and then immediately returned to water at their acclimation temperature, in test tanks containing yearling yellow perch (Perca flavescens). The number of attacks on the fry and...
Heat flow from eastern Panama and northwestern Colombia
J.H. Sass, R. J. Munroe, T. H. Moses Jr.
1974, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (21) 134-142
Heat flows were determined at 12 sites in four distinct areas between longitude 77° and 80°W in eastern Panama and northwestern Colombia. Evidently, most of the region is underlain by mafic oceanic crust so that the crustal radiogenic component of heat...
An attempt to age mallards using eye lens proteins
Charles J. Henny, J. Larry Ludke
1974, Journal of Wildlife Management (38) 138-141
An analysis of insoluble protein content of eye lenses from 59 known-age mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) indicated a slight increase between 8-9 months and 7 years of age. Nearly a complete overlapping of the insoluble protein content of individuals of different ages was apparent showing that the technique cannot be used...
Scientists probe Earth’s secrets at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory
J. D. Unger
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 3-11
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) sits on the edge of Kilauea Caldera at the summit of Kilauea Volcao, one of the five volcanoes on the island of Hawaii, the largest island in the Hawaiian Islands chain. Of the five, only Kilauea and Mauna Loa have been active in the past...
A review of the literature on the use of TFM-Bayluscide in fisheries
Sandra E. Hamilton
1974, Literature Review 74-03
Since 1956 the Great Lakes Fishery Commission has been responsible for formulating and implementing a program to eradicate or control the sea lamprey in the Great Lakes. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Sea Lamprey Control Centre of the Canadian Department of the Environment act as agents for...
A review of the literature on the use of Bayluscide in fisheries
Sandra E. Hamilton
1974, Literature Review 74-02
In the United States Bayluscide has had multiple uses. The 70% wettable powder has been used in Puerto Rico for snail control and the 5% granular formulation has been tested in Michigan and Wisconsin against freshwater snails serving as inter mediate hosts of the trematode causing swimmers' itch. Bayluscide has...
The chemical composition and estimated minimum thermal reservoir temperatures of the principal hot springs of northern and central Nevada
Robert H. Mariner, J. B. Rapp, L.M. Willey, T. S. Presser
1974, Open-File Report 74-1066
Fifty-five of the principal hot springs in northern and central Nevada have been sampled for chemical analyses. Major element constituents, sodium, potassium, calcium, and silica suggest minimum thermal-aquifer temperatures of 140°C or more at 16 of the hot spring complexes. At least five of the hot springs issue mixed waters...
Hydrologic data for Pin Oak Creek, Trinity River Basin, Texas, 1972
B.B. Hampton
1974, Report
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the installation of flood- and soil-erosion reducing measures in Texas under the authority of "The Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. The Soil Conservation Service has found a...
Earthquake history of Mississippi
C. A. von Hake
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 20-21
Since its admission into the Union in 1817, Mississippi has had only four earthquakes of intensity V or greater within its borders. Although the number of earthquakes known to have been centered within Mississippi's boundaries is small, the State has been affected by numerous shocks located in neighboring States. In...
Earthquake history of Missouri
C. A. von Hake
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 24-26
Most of Missouri's earthquake activity has been concentrated in the southeast corner of the State, which lies within the New Madrid seismic zone. As recently as Merch 29, 1972, the region was jolted by a magnitude 3.7 shock that was felt over a 168,000 square kilometre area including parts of...
Earthquake history of Montana
C. A. von Hake
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 30-35
Montana is one of the most seismically active States in the Union. Since 1925, the State has experienced five shocks that reached intensity VIII or greater (Modified Mercalli Scale). During the same interval hundreds of less severe tremors were felt within the State. Montana's earthquake activity is concentrated mostly in...
Earthquake history of Minnesota
C. A. von Hake
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 28-29
French traders and missionaries were active in the region that is now Minnesota as early as the 1650's; however, settlement proceeded slowly and the area was not organized as a territory until 1849. Minnesota was admitted to the Union as the 32nd State on May 11, 1858. the earthquake history...
Myxosoma cerebralis: Comparative sensitivity of spore detection methods
M.E. Markiw, K. Wolf
1974, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (31) 1597-1600
Physical and biophysical methods of detecting spores of Myxosoma cerebralis were used in sequence on 87 individual fingerling rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) from two populations with a low incidence of infection. Physical methods of releasing spores from the organs of equilibrium, gill arches, or the axial skeleton gave an estimated rate of...
Comparative toxicity of two Iodophors to rainbow trout eggs
Donald F. Amend
1974, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (103) 73-78
Toxicity of Wescodyne(R) and Betadine(R) to eyed eggs was not adversely affected by water hardness (as calcium and magnesium) or by exposure periods up to 60 min. Both iodophors were much more toxic below pH 6.0 than at pH 8.0. In general Wescodyne was slightly more toxic than Betadine. Significant egg loss...
