Absolute stress measurements at the rangely anticline, Northwestern Colorado
R. V. de la Cruz, C.B. Raleigh
1972, International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts (9) 625-634
Five different methods of measuring absolute state of stress in rocks in situ were used at sites near Rangely, Colorado, and the results compared. For near-surface measurements, overcoring of the borehole-deformation gage is the most convenient and rapid means of obtaining reliable values for the...
Exposure times necessary for antimycin and rotenone to eliminate certain freshwater fish
P.A. Gilderhus
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 199-202
In laboratory flowing-water troughs exposure required to induce 100% mortality, regardless of time to death for antimycin and rotenone against selected freshwater fish species was determined. Carp and white suckers required shorter exposures to antimycin (6 hr) than to rotenone (18–24 hr) at field-use concentrations of 5 and 50 ppb respectively. Bullheads were...
The future of salmonid communities in the Laurentian Great Lakes
Stanford H. Smith
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 951-957
The effects of human population growth, industrialization, and the introduction of marine fishes have reduced the suitability of each of the Great Lakes for oligotrophic fish communities. The ultimate consequence has been a reduction of fishery productivity that has ranged from extreme in Lake Ontario to moderate in Lake Superior....

A repellent for protecting corn seed from blackbirds and crows
A.R. Stickley Jr., J.L. Guarineo
1972, Journal of Wildlife Management (36) 150-152
Methiocarb [4-(methylthio)-3,-5-xylyl N-methylcarbamate] was tested as a seed treatment for repelling blackbirds and crows (Corvus sp.) from sprouting corn in South Carolina. The test was conducted on eight fields within a 0.25-square-mile area. Marked repellency occurred; sprout damage averaged 44 percent in the control fields and 0.3 percent in the...

A DuPont Moisture Analyzer is used in a microcoulometric method for determining water in minerals. Certain modifications, which include the heating of the sample outside the instrument, protect the system from acid gases and insure the conversion of all hydrogen to water vapor. Moisture analyzer...
Population biology of alewives, Alosa pseudoharengus, in Lake Michigan, 1949-70
Edward H. Brown Jr.
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 477-500
Alewives were unknown in Lake Michigan before 1949, but became extremely abundant in the 1960s and soon exceeded the carrying capacity of the lake. In 1967 they were decimated by a lakewide mass mortality, and have since been less abundant as "adults" (≥120 mm long), although numerous young were produced in...
Factors of ecologic succession in oligotrophic fish communities of the Laurentian Great Lakes
Stanford H. Smith
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 717-730
Oligotrophic fish communities of the Great Lakes have undergone successive disruptions since the mid-1800s. Major contributing factors have been intensive selective fisheries, extreme modification of the drainage, invasion of marine species, and progressive physical–chemical changes of the lake environments. Lake Ontario was the first to be affected as its basin...

Duck hepatitis virus Interactions with DDT and dieldrin in adult mallards
Milton Friend, D.O. Trainer
1972, Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (7) 202-206
There has been considerable speculation regarding possible imteractlons within biological systems between synthetic environmental pollutants and infectious disease agents (1-11). This type of interaction has been studied in our laboratory using the mallard, Anas platyrhynchos, as a test species (5,6). Since adult ducks are refractory to the overt manifestations of...

1972, Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (161) 624-633
Four anesthetic agents used in human or veterinary medicine and 3 experimental anesthetic preparations were evaluated for effectiveness in inducing narcosis when administered orally to game-farm mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos).Tribromoethanol was the only compound to satisfy criteria of initial tests. Mean duration of the induction, immobilization, and recovery periods was...
Virucidal activity of two Iodophors to salmonid viruses
Donald F. Amend, John P. Pietsch
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 61-65
Wescodyne® and Betadine®, organic iodine complexes, were compared in vitro for virucidal activity against infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN), infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN), and viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) viruses. Both iodophors were about equally effective on all three viruses. Each iodophor completely destroyed IHN virus within 30 sec at 12 ppm iodine, and was...

Gary Wedemeyer
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 1780-1783
The stress of handling juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) in soft water and in water with added salts was evaluated using blood and tissue chemistry fluctuations as indices of metabolic and endocrine function. Changes in plasma glucose, chloride, calcium, and cholesterol levels indicated that significant...

George Porterfield
1972, Open-File Report 72-302
Average annual sediment discharge in Pacheco Creek basin, Contra Costa County, Calif., was larger during August 1965-April 1970 than the historical annual sediment discharge (1909-62) by a factor of about 1.3. This increas in sediment discharge is attributed primarily to an increased frequency of peak streamflows and to a larger...
