Plasmoptysis and gelatin of erythrocytes in coagulation of blood of freshwater bony fishes
Ken Wolf
1959, Blood (14) 1339-1344
1. A clot-like material which results from very rapid plasmoptysis and hydrophyllic swelling of karyoplasm of erythrocytes from freshwater fish was reported. This attribute was found to a lesser degree in erythrocytes from an amphibian, but it was almost lacking in those of an aquatic reptile.2. Rapid clotting of fish...
New occurrences of ferroselite (FeSe2)
R. G. Coleman
1959, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (16) 296-301
Iron selenide from the uranium-vanadium ores of the Colorado Plateau was under investigation when ferroselite was described as a new mineral in Russia by Bur'yanova and Komkov (1955). Association of ferroselite with selenian pyrite and marcasite within discrete areas of these uranium-vanadium deposits suggests an unusual environment of formation. Its association...
Core logs from Searles Lake, San Bernardino County, California
David V. Haines
1959, Bulletin 1045-E
Forty-one drill holes in the saline deposit on Searles Lake, San Bernardino County, Calif., were cored and logged. Drill holes averaged about 100 feet in depth; the majority are located around the margins of the dry lake. The saline deposit consists of an upper salt body about 39 square miles...

Ground-water resources of Riverton irrigation project area, Wyoming, with a section on chemical quality of ground water
Donald Arthur Morris, O. M. Hackett, K.E. Vanlier, E. A. Moulder, W. H. Durum
1959, Water Supply Paper 1375
The Riverton irrigation project area is in the northwestern part of the Wind River basin in west-central Wyoming. Because the annual precipitation is only about 9 inches, agriculture, which is the principal occupation in the area, is dependent upon irrigation. Irrigation by surface-water diversion was begum is 1906; water is...

Life history of the sea lamprey of Cayugaf Lake, New York
Roland L. Wigley
1959, Fishery Bulletin of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 561-617
A life history study of the sea lamprey, Petromyson marinus Linnaeus, in Cayuga Lake, N.Y., was conducted during 1950, 1951, and 1952. One of the major objectives was to obtain biological data concerning this endemic stock of sea lampreys for comparison with the newly established stocks in the Great Lakes....

Sixty years after Coronado, Don Juan de Onate wrote the first reasonably good description of the High Plains. He was near the present site of Wichita, Kansas, in 1601, when he arrived a t a large rancheria, or temporary Indian camp, containing more than 5000 souls. Onate's account expressed wonderment...

In a sandy, riverside location in Wisconsin, my family has a farm, once abandoned by a previous owner because it would not produce much corn. By the time we bought it – for a pittance – only a few remnants of white pine remained from the magnificent stands made famous...
The electrical resistivity meter in fishery investigations
Robert E. Lennon
1959, Special Scientific Report - Fisheries 287
A portable resistivity (or conductivity) meter is easily used in fishery investigations to obtain rapid and precise measurements of the electrical resistance (or conductance) of waters. These measurements can be used to estimate the total dissolved solids content of waters, to facilitate the selection of appropriate gear for efficient electrofishing,...
The reclamation of Indian and Abrams creeks in Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Robert E. Lennon, Phillip S. Parker
1959, Special Scientific Report - Fisheries 306
A complete program of stream reclamation was developed and applied on Indian and Abrams creeks in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. A salt-resistivity technique was used to estimate the dilution and velocity of a toxicant in running water. Streamside toxicity trials on resident fishes established minimal, effective concentrations of the...
Core logs from Bristol, Cadiz, and Danby Dry Lakes, San Bernardino County, California
Allan Mordorf Bassett, D.H. Kupfer, F.C. Barstow
1959, Bulletin 1045-D
Detailed core logs of four holes drilled in Bristol, Cadiz, and Danby Dry Lakes in southeastern San Bernardirio County, Calif., are given in the present report. These 3 dry lakes lie in a chain of basins having a drainage area of 4,000 square miles which is made up of alluvial...
A compilation of chemical quality data for ground and surface waters in Utah
John G. Connor, C.G. Mitchell
1958, Technical Publication 10
An accelerated use of water resulting from a growing population, industrial expansion, and irrigation has brought into focus the importance of the quality as well as the quantity of this natural resource in Utah. As new demands are made on the existing supply, a search goes on for new sources...

A possible cause of sunburn in fish

A LESION DESCRIBED AS A GRAY ΡATCH GENERALLY LOCATED ΑΝΤΕRIOR TO THE DORSAL FIN has been associated with high mortality of fish on numerous occasions in production hatcheries throughout the United States. This lesion has been called "sunburn" or "backpeel." No bacteria or other pathogens have been found in fish...

Rapid counting of nematoda in salmon by peptic digestion
Joseph A. Stern, Diptiman Chakravarti, Joseph R. Uzmann, M. N. Hesselholt
1958, Special Scientific Report - Fisheries 255
The nematode parasite Anisakis sp. can be recovered, relatively unaltered, from chum salmon musculature by high temperature (52°+2°C.) peptic digestion of the flesh. The procedure, which is presented in detail, appears to be more thorough in isolating the parasite than dissection of the flesh and manual isolation of the worms. In...
