Ethyl-p-aminobenzoate (Benzocaine): efficacy as an anesthetic for five species of freshwater fish
V. K. Dawson, P.A. Gilderhus
1979, Investigations in Fish Control 87
Ethyl-p-aminobenzoate (benzocaine) was tested for its efficacy as an anesthetic for rainbow trout (Salmo gairdnerii, brown trout (Salmo truttas, northern pike (Esox lucius). carp (Cyprinus carpio), and largemouth bass (Mieropterus salmoidesi. Since benzocaine is not water soluble, it was applied with acetone as a carrier. Concentrations of 100 to 200...
Feather mites of the greater sandhill crane (Grus canadensis tabida)
W.T. Atyeo, Ronald M. Windingstad
1979, Journal of Parasitology (65) 650-658
New taxa are described from Grus canadensis tabida: Brephosceles petersoni sp. n. (Alloptidae); Pseudogabucinia reticulata sp. n. (Kramerellidae); Geranolichus canadensis sp. n., and Gruolichus wodashae, gen. et sp. n. (Pterolichidae). Observations on resource partitioning by these mites are given....
Plaque-forming cells and humoral antibody in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) induced by immersion in a Yersinia ruckeri O-antigen preparation
D. P. Anderson, B.S. Roberson, O. W. Dixon
1979, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (36) 636-639
Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were exposed to the O-antigen of Yersinia ruckeri by various immunization regimens. The passive hemolytic plaque assay was used to show specific splenic plaque-forming cells (PFC) and passive hemagglutination demonstrated humoral antibody titers in fish injected with or immersed in the antigen preparations. Preceding antigen immersion with a...
Quantitative variation and the ecological role of vulpinic acid and atranorin in thallus of Letharia vulpina
Nathan L. Stephenson, Philip W. Rundel
1979, Biochemical Systematics and Ecology (7) 263-267
High pressure liquid chromatography was used to determine concentrations of vulpinic acid and atranorin in the thaullus of Letharia vulpina. Vulpinic acid concentration is lowest in the old basal branches of the thallus and increases toward the young branch tips, whereas the reverse is true for atranorin. The suggested role of...
Population differentiation along a flood frequency gradient: Physiological adaptations to flooding in Nyssa sylvatica
Jon E. Keeley
1979, Ecological Monographs (49) 89-108
Throughout the southeastern United States the hardwood Nyssa sylvatica (sensu lato) is distributed along a soil moisture gradient from upland sites, which are never flooded, to floodplains, which are periodically flooded and drained to permanently flooded swamps. Population differentiation with respect to flood tolerance and related physiological attributes was investigated...
Fish viruses: A double-stranded RNA icosahedral virus from a North American cyprinid
J.A. Plumb, P.R. Bowser, J.M. Grizzle, A.J. Mitchell
1979, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (36) 1390-1394
A previously unreported virus disease of cultured golden shiners (Notemigonus crysoleucas) is described. The condition is called golden shiner virus (GSV) disease. The virus is icosahedral, measures approximately 70 nm, is ether and heat resistant, stable at pH 3, 7, and 10, and appears to have a double stranded RNA core....
An outbreak of streptococcosis in eared grebes (Podiceps nigricollis)
Wayne I. Jensen
1979, Avian Diseases (23) 543-546
An outbreak of streptococcosis (Streptococcus zooepidemicus), apparently the first recorded in wild birds, killed an estimated 7,500 eared grebes (Podiceps nigricollis) on Great Salt Lake (Utah) in November and December, 1977. Ducks and gulls feeding in the same area were unaffected....
Influence of dietary zinc on cataracts in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
H. G. Ketola
1979, Journal of Nutrition (109) 965-969
The purpose of this study was to determine the cause of lens cataracts in hatchery trout fed diets containing white fish meal. After preliminary investigations, three experiments were conducted with fry of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) that were fed practical-type diets containing either 40% herring meal (control diet) or 40%...
Records of prehistoric earthquakes in sedimentary deposits in lakes
J. Sims
Henry Spall, editor(s)
1979, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (11) 228-233
Historic records of earthquakes are too short to allow a true assessment of their recurrence intervals. Methods are needed, therefore, that will enable the seismicity of an area to be evaluated beyond the limit of historic records. One place where a record of ancient seismic activity might be preserved is in...
Allantoinase in lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush): In vitro effects of PCBs, DDT and metals
Dora R. May Passino, Carol A. Cotant
1979, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, Part C: Comparative Pharmacology (62) 71-75
1. Allantoinase, an enzyme in the purine-urea cycle, was found in livers of Salvelinus namaycush (Osteichthyes: Salmoniformes).2. The enzyme was active from pH 6.6 to 8.2 at 37°C and from pH 7.4 to 9.0 at 10°C and had an Arrhenius energy was activation of 11.0 kcal/mol and a temperature quotient...
Gas-liquid chromatographic determination of Bayer 73 in fish, aquatic invertebrates, mud, and water
C.W. Luhning, P.D. Harman, J.B. Sills, V. K. Dawson, J. L. Allen
1979, Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (62) 1141-1145
A gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method is described for determining residues of Bayer 73 (2-aminoethanol salt of 2’,5-dichloro-4’-nitrosalicylanilide) in fish muscle, aquatic invertebrates, mud, and water by analyzing for 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline (CNA), a hydrolysis product of Bayer 73. Bayer 73 residues are extracted from fish muscle tissue, invertebrates, and mud with acetone-formic...
Minerals, lands, and geology for the common defence and general welfare, Volume 1, Before 1879 : A history of public lands, federal science and mapping policy, and development of mineral resources in the United States
Mary C. Rabbitt
1979, Book
This volume, the first of a four-volume study, is concerned with events in the United States before the establishment of the U.S. Geological Survey, during the years in which geology evolved as a science and began to influence economic development and national policy. Subsequent volumes continue the story but focus...
Mathematics and mallard management
L.M. Cowardin, Douglas H. Johnson
1979, Journal of Wildlife Management (43) 18-35
Waterfowl managers can effectively use simple population models to aid in making management decisions. We present a basic model of the change in population size as related to survival and recruitment. A management technique designed to increase survival of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) by limiting harvest on the Chippewa National Forest,...
Fall foods of migrant common snipe in North Dakota
E.K. Fritzell, G.A. Swanson, M.I. Meyer
1979, Journal of Wildlife Management (43) 253-257
Studies of foods consumed by common snipe (Capella gallinago) during fall migration (Sperry 1940, Erickson 1941, Choate in Tuck 1972, Tuck 1972) have shown that diets vary among habitats. More recently, Fogarty and Arnold (1977) expressed the need for more detailed information on snipe food habits and more refined knowledge...
Estimating nest success: The Mayfield method and an alternative
Douglas H. Johnson
1979, The Auk (96) 651-661
Mayfield's method for calculating the success of a group of nests is examined in detail. The standard error of his estimator is developed. Mayfield's assumption that destroyed nests are at risk until the midpoint of the interval between visits leads to bias if nests are visited infrequently. A remedy is...
Marsh nesting by mallards
Gary L. Krapu, L.G. Talent, T.J. Dwyer
1979, Wildlife Society Bulletin (7) 104-110
Nest-site selection by mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) hens was studied on a 52-km2, privately owned area in the Missouri Coteau of south-central North Dakota during 1974-77. Sixty-six percent of 53 nests initiated by radio-marked and unmarked hens were in wetlands in dense stands of emergent vegetation and usually within 50 m...
