Interstitial water studies on small core samples, Leg 9
F.L. Sayles, L.S. Waterman, F.T. Manheim
1972, Initial reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (9) 845-855
The chemistry of the pore fluids obtained on Leg 9 is remarkable primarily in its constancy. Excepting silicon and strontium, only at one site do the concentrations of the major and minor constituents deviate notably from sea water concentrations (see Tables 1 and 2). The trends, or lack of them,...

James J. French
1972, Water Supply Paper 1999-G
Ground-water outflow from Chino basin was calculated ,by a direct method using the equation Q = PIA, in which Q is the quantity of ground-water outflow, P is the average coefficient of permeability of the sediments through which the flow occurs, I is the average hydraulic gradient, and A is...
Accumulation of dieldrin in an alga (Scenedesmus obliquus), Daphnia magna, and the guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
Robert E. Reinert
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 1413-1418
Scenedesmus obliquus, Daphnia magna, and Poecilia reticulata accumulated dieldrin directly from water; average concentration factors (concentration in organism, dry weight, divided by concentration in water) were 1282 for the alga, 13,954 for D. magna, and 49,307 (estimated) for the guppy. The amount accumulated by each species at equilibrium (after about...
The future of salmonid communities in the Laurentian Great Lakes
Stanford H. Smith
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 951-957
The effects of human population growth, industrialization, and the introduction of marine fishes have reduced the suitability of each of the Great Lakes for oligotrophic fish communities. The ultimate consequence has been a reduction of fishery productivity that has ranged from extreme in Lake Ontario to moderate in Lake Superior....

Water-quality data for the Flaming Gorge Reservoir area, Utah and Wyoming, 1969-72
E.L. Bolke, K.M. Waddell
1972, Utah Basic-Data Release 24
This report presents the basic data that were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey during a study of the chemical quality of water in Flaming Gorge Reservoir. An interpretive report will follow. The basic data were collected from the reservoir during six sampling runs between October 1970 and September 1972....
Studies of quaternary saline lakes-I. Hydrogen isotope fractionation in saline minerals
S. Matsuo, I. Friedman, G.I. Smith
1972, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (36) 427-435
Borax, gaylussite, nahcolite and trona were synthesized in aqueous solution at temperatures ranging from 8° to 35°C. Except for borax, deuterium was always depleted in these hydrated minerals relative to the solutions from which they were crystallized. In borax, no significant fractionation was found. The fractionation factor of <span id="MathJax-Element-1-Frame"...
Some physiological consequences of handling stress in the juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri)
Gary Wedemeyer
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 1780-1783
The stress of handling juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) in soft water and in water with added salts was evaluated using blood and tissue chemistry fluctuations as indices of metabolic and endocrine function. Changes in plasma glucose, chloride, calcium, and cholesterol levels indicated that significant...
Virucidal activity of two Iodophors to salmonid viruses
Donald F. Amend, John P. Pietsch
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 61-65
Wescodyne® and Betadine®, organic iodine complexes, were compared in vitro for virucidal activity against infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN), infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN), and viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) viruses. Both iodophors were about equally effective on all three viruses. Each iodophor completely destroyed IHN virus within 30 sec at 12 ppm iodine, and was...
Factors of ecologic succession in oligotrophic fish communities of the Laurentian Great Lakes
Stanford H. Smith
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 717-730
Oligotrophic fish communities of the Great Lakes have undergone successive disruptions since the mid-1800s. Major contributing factors have been intensive selective fisheries, extreme modification of the drainage, invasion of marine species, and progressive physical–chemical changes of the lake environments. Lake Ontario was the first to be affected as its basin...
Downstream migration of recently transformed sea lampreys before and after treatment of a Lake Michigan tributary with a lampricide
John W. Hodges
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 1237-1240
After the Pere Marquette River was treated with a lampricide in May 1964, the number of recently transformed sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) collected in the water-intake structure of a chemical plant near the mouth of the stream dropped 99.5%, from 13,913 (average for 1962-63 and 1963-64) to 76 (average for...

Water inflow into hole UA-1, Amchitka Island, Alaska
Wilbur C. Ballance, W.A. Beetem
1972, Report
Chemical composition of water samples, temperature of inflow water, and theoretical calculations were compared to evaluate the water-contributing intervals to the zone to be mined--1,782.8 to 1,798.6 meters (5,849 to 5,901 feet)--in hole UA-1, Amchitka Island, Alaska. Chemical composition and temperature of inflow water indicated the contributing zones to have...
Hydraulic tests in hole UAe-6h, Amchitka Island, Alaska
Wilbur C. Ballance
1972, Report
Inflatable straddle packers were used to isolate and test 14 intervals ranging from 39 to 258 meters (127 to 846 feet) each in hole UAe-6h. Packer seats were poor in part of the hole because of unstable wall conditions. Thus, some zones had to be tested several times. The static...
Life history and production of walleyes of the 1959 year-class in western Lake Erie, 1959-62
John W. Parsons
1972, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (101) 655-661
Because of the near collapse of the fishery for walleyes (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) in Lake Erie in the late 1950's, walleyes of the 1959 year-class were studied to gain a better understanding of the life history of the species and the dynamics of the population. In the summer of 1959...
Lake Michigan: effects of exploitation, introductions, and eutrophication on the salmonid community
LaRue Wells, Alberton L. McLain
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 889-898
Lake Michigan surface area is 22,400 square miles and its main depth is 276 ft. Its fauna is generally typical of North American oligotrophic lakes. The original fish populations included 10 coregonines and one salmonine. The lake whitefish, the lake herring, and the lake trout were most abundant. Man's activities...

James B. Reynolds, G.M. DeGraeve
1972, Proceedings of the 15th Conference on Great Lakes Research (15) 117-131
This study of depth distribution, abundance, growth, reproduction and standing crop of the opossum shrimp, Mysis relicta, in southeastern Lake Michigan was based on monthly samples collected from August 1970 through July 1971 (except February and March). Population density was usually low at 10-20 fathoms, moderate at 25-30 fathoms and...

A hydrologic reconnaissance was made of Anaktuvuk pass in the central Brooks Range during the summer of 1971 to help develop a water supply for the village school. Winter icings and summer flow conditions in Contact Creek both indicate that ground water is present beneath the creek bed. A well-site...
