1964, Fishery Bulletin (63) 493-530
The average annual commercial catch of lake herring (Coregonus artedi) in U.S. waters of Lake Superior was nearly 12 million pounds in 1929-61. This production contributed 62.4 percent of the total U.S. take of lake herring for the Great Lakes. About 90 percent of the annual catch is...
Age, growth, sex ratio, and maturity of the whitefish in central Green Bay and adjacent waters of Lake Michigan
Donald Mraz
1964, Fishery Bulletin of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (63) 619-634
This study is based on 1,023 whitefish, Coregonus clupeaformis (Mitchill)--819 in seven samples from five localitites in central Green Bay in 1948-49 and 1851-52 and 204 in a single 1948 collection from northwestern Lake Michigan proper. Records of age indicated unusual strength for only one year class--1943 which strongly dominated...

Edward F. McCarren
1964, Water Supply Paper 1779-C
The West Branch Susquehanna River is 228 miles long and drains 6,913 square miles of mountainous area in central Pennsylvania. Much of this area is forestcovered wilderness, part of which is reserved as State game land. Wild animals, such as deer, bear, turkey and grouse, are sheltered there, and many...
Status of the deepwater cisco population of Lake Michigan
Stanford H. Smith
1964, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (93) 155-163
The species and size composition and the abundance of the cisco (Leucichthys spp.) population of Lake Michigan have undergone drastic changes since the sea lamprey became established in the 1940's. The changes were measured by the catches of gill nets of identical specifications fished at the same seasons, depths, and...

Spectrophotometric determination of fluorine in silicate rocks
L. C. Peck, V. C. Smith
1964, Talanta (11) 1343-1347
The rock powder is sintered with a sodium carbonate flux containing zinc oxide and magnesium carbonate, the sinter-cake leached with water and the resulting solution filtered. Fluorine is separated from the acidified filtrate by steam distillation and determined spectrophotometrically by means of a zirconium-SPADNS reagent. If...
Cenomanian (Cretaceons) Foraminifera from the Puerto Rico Trench
R. Todd, D. Low
1964, Deep-Sea Research and Oceanographic Abstracts (11) 391-393
An assemblage of predominantly planktonic Foraminifera is discussed from rocks of Cenomanian age dredged from between 3,200 and 3,500 fm on the north slope of the Puerto Rico Trench. Thirty-three planktonic and benthonic species are described. Planomalina pulchella is new; nine species are specifically...
Studies of pre-Selma Cretaceous core samples from the outcrop area in western Alabama
Watson Hiner Monroe, Richard E. Bergenback, Norman F. Sohl, Esther R. Applin, Estella B. Leopold, Helen M. Pakiser, Louis C. Conant
1964, Bulletin 1160
In 1954 four core holes were drilled in the pre-Selma Cretaceous strata of the Alabama Coastal Plain in order to get unweathered samples within a few miles of the outcrops. During the next few years several specialists studied the cores, and their reports are published as consecutive parts of this...
Ground-water reconnaissance in the Burnt River valley, Baker County, Oregon
Don Price
1964, Open-File Report 64-128
The Burnt River valley in southern Baker County, Oreg., is underlain by rocks that range in age from pre-Tertiary to Quaternary. The pre-Tertiary rocks consist mainly of argillites, schists, limestones, and intrusive igneous rocks, while the Tertiary rocks consist mainly of felsic and mafic volcanic tuffs, lava flows and breccias,...
Pentaborate polyanion in the crystal structure of ulexite, NaCaB5O6(OH)6*5H2O
Joan R. Clark, Daniel E. Appleman
1964, Science (145) 1295-1296
Triclinic ulexite crystals contain isolated borate polyanions [B5O6(OH)6]3- related to the well known pentaborate polyanion [B5O6(OH)4]- by addition of two hydroxyl groups to two opposite B-O triangles. The isolated ulexite polyanions form the [B5O7(OH)4]n3n- chains previously found in crystals of the related mineral probertite, NaCaB5O7(OH)4·3H2O....
Fused rock from Köfels, Tyrol
Daniel J. Milton
1964, Tschermaks Mineralogische und Petrographische Mitteilungen (9) 86-94
The vesicular glass from Köfels, Tyrol, contains grains of quartz that have been partially melted but not dissolved in the matrix glass. This phenomenon has been observed in similar glasses formed by friction along a thrust fault and by meteorite impact, but not in volcanic glasses. The explosion of a...
Crystal chemistry and structure refinement of five hydrated calcium borates
J. R. Clark, D.E. Appleman, C. L. Christ
1964, Journal of Inorganic and Nuclear Chemistry (26) 73-95
The crystal structures of the five known members of the series Ca2B6O11·xH2O (x = 1, 5, 5, 7, 9, and 13) have been refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques, yielding bond distances and angles with standard errors of less than 0·01 Å and 0·5°,...

Numbered nasal discs for waterfowl
James C. Bartonek, C.W. Dane
1964, Journal of Wildlife Management (28) 688-692
Numbered nasal discs were successfully used in studies requiring large numbers of individually marked waterfowl. The procedure for constructing these discs is outlined. Blue-winged teal (Anas discors) with 5/8-inch discs, and canvasback (Aythya valisineria) and redhead (A. americana) with 3/4-inch discs can be individually identified up to 50 and 80...

1964, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the 8th Conference on Great Lakes Research
Water samples were collected for chemical analysis during eight cruises of the U.S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries M/V CISCO in south-central Lake Huron in June-October 1956. Temperature, pH, conductivity, and the concentrations of Na+, K+, Ca++, C1-, SO4-, SiO2, and dissolved oxygen were determined for 233 samples from stations at...

Simazine and other s-triazine compounds as aquatic herbicides in fish habitats
C.R. Walker
1964, Weeds (12) 134-139
This investigation studied simazine (2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine), atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-s-triazine), propazine (2-chloro-4,6-bis(isopropylamino)-s-triazine), and prometone (2-methoxy-4,6-bis(isopropylamino)-s-triazine). Preemergence applications of granular formulations of simazine on attaclay or calcium sulfate of simazine at 1 to 2 ppmw controlled Potamogeton, Najas, Ceratophyllum, Heteranthera and Zannichellia. Higher rates were required to control filamentous algae (Cladophora and <span...
