An electrical device for computing theoretical draw-downs of ground-water levels
Irwin Remson, M.H. Halstead
1955, Open-File Report 55-149
The construction, calibration and use of an electrical "slide rule" for computing theoretical drawdowns of ground-water levels are described. The instrument facilitates the computation of drawdowns under given conditions of discharge or recharge by means of the Theis nonequilibrium equation. It is simple to construct and use and can be...

Infectious diseases of Pacific salmon
Robert R. Rucker, B. J. Earp, E. J. Ordal
1954, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (83) 297-312
Investigations on infectious diseases of Pacific salmon due to micro-organisms other than viruses are reviewed. The etiological agents include trematodes, fungi, protozoa and bacteria. Bacteria have been found to be the most important agents of disease in the several species of Pacific salmon. Kidney disease, due to a small, unnamed...
Virus diseases of fish
Stanley W. Watson
1954, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (83) 331-341
Viruses are probably the cause of a wide spectrum of fish diseases. Although relatively few virus diseases of fish are known today, some of the diseases of unknown etiology, as well as some diseases presently accepted as due to bacteria, protozoa, fungi or nutritional deficiencies, possibly will be recognized eventually...
