Testing of selected pharmacological agents for capturing waterfowl [Annual Progress Report]
D.R. Cline
1970, Report
The response of game-farm mallards (Frost strain) to seven pharmacological immobilizing agents was evaluated in Phase I of a planned four-phase study. A limited amount of testing was also done with wild mallards. Single dosages were administered to determine the mean effective dose (ED50) and mean lethal dose (LD50), The...
Extreme female predominance in the bloater (Coregonus hoyi) of Lake Michigan in the 1960's
Edward H. Brown Jr.
C.C. Lindsey, C.S. Woods, editor(s)
1970, Book chapter, Biology of coregonid fishes
The sex composition and other biological characteristics of the bloater changed substantially during recent decades of continuous ecological change in Lake Michigan. The percentages of females increased from 72% of the bloaters samples in 1928-32 to 95% in 1963, and ranged from 94 to 97% in 1964-69. The unusual predominance...
Temperature tolerance of young-of-the-year cisco, Coregonus artedii
Thomas A. Edsall, Peter J. Colby
1970, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (99) 526-531
Young-of-the-year ciscoes (Coregonus artedii) acclimated to 2, 5, 10, 20 and 25 C and tested for tolerance to high and low temperatures provide the first detailed description of the thermal tolerance of coregonids in North America. The upper ultimate lethal temperature of the young ciscoes was 26 C (6 C...
Resource crises in Lake Erie
Wilbur L. Hartman
1970, Explorer (12) 6-11
Despite the tremendous value of the Great Lakes, a malaise is seriously destroying their worth. Accelerated enrichment, unabated pollution, over-exploitation, and accidental and intentional introduction of exotic species, have all been guided--more often misguided--by man. Of all five Great Lakes, Lake Erie stands out as the one most...
Geology and ground-water resources of Cerro Gordo County, Iowa
H.G. Hershey, K.D. Wahl, W. L. Steinhilber
1970, Water Supply Bulletin 9
The basic geologic framework underlying Cerro Gordo County consists of an igneous or metamorphic Precambrian basement complex overlain by, in ascending order, consolidated sedimentary rocks of Precambrian, Cambrian, Ordovician, Devonian, Mississippian, and Cretaceous age, and unconsolidated sand, gravel, and clay of Quaternary age. Structurally the county is in the northern...

Salmonid viruses: Double infection of RTG-2 cells with Egtved and infectious pancreatic necrosis viruses
K. Wolf, P. E. Vestergard Jorgensen
1970, Archiv Fur Die Gesamte Virusforschung (29) 337-342
Egtved and infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) viruses were applied at high multiplicity alone and in combination to RTG-2 cells in liquid medium. Procedures were used which selectively suppressed one or the other virus, and the yields were determined after 64 hours at 15°C. The viruses showed an increase of 280...

Under favorable conditions the chemistry of hot springs may give reliable indications of subsurface temperatures and circulation patterns. These chemical indicators can be classified by the type of process involved:IndicatorDominant ProcessThe silica...
Analytical sensitivities and energies of thermal-neutron-capture gamma rays

1970, Nuclear Instruments and Methods (80) 149-171
A table of the analytical sensitivities of the principal lines in the thermal-neutron-capture gamma ray spectrum has been compiled for most of the elements. In addition a second table of the full-energy, single-escape, and double-escape peaks has been compiled according to energy for...
Caldera collapse in the Galápagos Islands, 1968
T. Simkin, K. A. Howard
1970, Science (169) 429-437
The summit caldera of Isla Fernandina, a large, uninhabited basaltic shield volcano, was further enlarged by 1 to 2 km3 in June 1968. A small quake and large vapor cloud on 11 June were followed 4 hours later by a remarkable volcanic ash cloud and, after another hour, by a...
Sources of geochemical standards-II

A revised and enlarged list of rock, mineral, ore, industrial product, counting, and isotopic standards of interest to those in geochemistry and geology is presented. Samples in process are also included. Sources from which the samples may be obtained are listed.<ul id="issue-navigation" class="issue-navigation...
The demography of the lizard, Uta stansburiana Baird and Girard, in southern Nevada
F.B. Turner, G.A. Hoddenbach, P.A. Medica, J.R. Lannom
1970, Journal of Animal Ecology (39) 505-519
Between 1966 and 1967 populations of Uta stansburiana in southern Nevada increased about 40%. Over the next year they declined by about 50%. These changes are explained in terms of annual differences in fecundity and survival. Most females laid five clutches of...
Growth, age at metamorphosis, and sex ratio of northern brook lamprey in a tributary of southern Lake Superior
Harold A. Purvis
1970, Copeia (1970) 326-332
Growth was studied of five year classes of the northern brook lamprey, Ichthyomyzon fossor, collected from the Sturgeon River during intervals between treatment of the stream with a lampricide. Growth varied considerably among year classes. Larvae of the 1963 year class were slightly longer at age II and 30% longer...
Experimental hybridization among five species of lampreys from the Great Lakes
George W. Piavis, John H. Howell, Allen J. Smith
1970, Copeia (1970) 29-37
Experimental hybridization among five species of lampreys of the Upper Great Lakes routinely produced embryos through stage 8, and four crosses produced embryos to the larval stage. Three critical periods in the embryogenesis of hybrid lampreys were between stages 8 and 9, among stages 10, 11, and 12, and at...
Walleye fishery of Lake Erie in 1943-62 with emphasis on contributions of the 1942-61 year-classes
John W. Parsons
1970, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (27) 1475-1489
The commercial fishery for walleyes (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) in Lake Erie virtually collapsed in the late 1950's. The extreme decline in production was attributed primarily to a succession of weak year-classes, caused by habitat deterioration (increased water temperatures, enrichment, and pollution) in western Lake Erie. Unusually high fishing intensity and...

Henry F. Lucas Jr., David N. Edgington, Peter J. Colby
1970, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (27) 677-684
The concentration of 15 trace elements was determined by activation analysis of samples of whole fish and fish livers from three of the Great Lakes: Michigan, Superior, and Erie. The average concentrations of 7 elements in 19 whole fish from 3 species were as follows: uranium, 3ppb (parts per billion);...

Morphology of certain viruses of Salmonid Fishes. I. in vitro studies of some viruses causing Hematopoietic Necrosis
Donald F. Amend, Velma C. Chambers
1970, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (27) 1285-1293
An electron microscope study was performed on three virus isolates that caused hematopoietic necrosis in salmonid fishes: infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN), Oregon Sockeye Disease (OSD), and Sacramento River Chinook Salmon Disease (SRCD). All three isolates were examined by negative staining of fathead minnow (FHM) monolayer tissue culture concentrates and IHN...
Thermal features at Volcanoes in the cascade range, as observed by aerial infrared surveys
R.M. Moxham
1970, Bulletin Volcanologique (34) 77-106
There have been no substantial changes in the thermal patterns at the summit of Mount Rainier in the period September 1964–September 1966, within the detection limits of the infrared instrumentation. Some differences in radiance are attributed to differences in snow cover. The highest apparent temperature is at a snow-free area...
Correction of bias in belt transect studies of immotile objects
David R. Anderson, R.S. Pospahala
1970, Journal of Wildlife Management (34) 141-146
Unless a correction is made, population estimates derived from a sample of belt transects will be biased if a fraction of, the individuals on the sample transects are not counted. An approach, useful for correcting this bias when sampling immotile populations using transects of a fixed width, is presented....
A new technique for pumping hydrogen gas
I. Friedman, K. Hardcastle
1970, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (34) 125-126
A system for pumping hydrogen gas without isotopic fractionation has been developed. The pump contains uranium metal, which when heated to about 80°C reacts with hydrogen to form UH3. The UH3 is heated to above 500°C to decompose the hydride and regenerate the hydrogen....
