Age and growth of the whitefish in Lake Superior
William R. Dryer
1963, Fishery Bulletin (63) 77-95
The average annual commercial production of whitefish in the U.S. waters of Lake Superior dropped from 2,194,000 pounds in 1879-1908 to 504,000 pounds in 1911-59. The modern production, though far below the earlier, has accounted for more than 10 percent of the total value of the fishery in all...

Deuterium in Iceland waters
I. Friedman, T. Sigurgeirsson, O. Gardarsson
1963, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (27) 553-561
From the deuterium analysis of 159 samples of water collected in Iceland from hot-water boreholes, cold and hot springs, rivers and rain, the geographical distribution of deuterium in surface waters is plotted. On the basis of the deuterium analysis, the water from boreholes near Reykjavik does not originate from local...
Boron-oxygen polyanion in the crystal structure of tunellite
J. R. Clark
1963, Science (141) 1178-1179
The crystal structure of tunellite, SrO·3B2O3·4H2O, with infinite sheets of composition n[B6O9(OH)2]2-, has cations and water molecules in the spaces within the sheets. Adjacent sheets are held together by hydrogen bonding through the water molecules. The boron-oxygen polyanions provide the first example in hydrated borate crystals of one oxygen linked...

The use of alkalinity and conductivity measurements to estimate concentrations of 3-trifluormethyl-4-nitrophenol required for treating lamprey streams
Richard K. Kanayama
1963, Technical Report 7
A method has been devised to estimate the minimum concentration of TFM that will kill sea lampreys and the maximum that will not kill fish. It is based on the relation of these concentrations to the alkalinity and the conductivity of various waters. Pretreatment bioassays will continue to...

Quantitation of microorganic compounds in waters of the Great Lakes by adsorption on activated carbon
Stacy L. Daniels, Lloyd L. Kempe, E. S. Graham, Alfred M. Beeton
1963, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the 6th Conference on Great Lakes Research
Microorganic compounds in waters of Lakes Michigan and Huron have been sampled by adsorption on activated carbon in filters installed aboard the M/V Cisco and at the Hammond Bay Laboratory of the U.S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries. The organic compounds were eluted from the carbon according to techniques developed at the U.S....
The movement, heterogeneity, and rate of exploitation of walleyes in northern Green Bay, Lake Michigan, as determined by tagging
Walter R. Crowe, Ernest G. Karvelis, Leonard S. Joeris
1963, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the North Atlantic Fish Marking Symposium
The Michigan waters of northern Green Bay are an important center for commercial and sport fishing. This 400-square-mile area has supported a commercial fishery for many years but the development of the intensive sport fishery is more recent, mostly since World War II. The commercial fishery is based on several...

A primer on ground water
Helene L. Baldwin, C. L. McGuinness
1963, Report
Most of us don't have to look for water. We grew up either in big cities where there was a public water supply, or in small towns or on farms where the water came from wells. But there are some people to whom finding a new supply of water is...

Indirect spectrophotometric determination of traces of bromide in water
M. J. Fishman, M. W. Skougstad
1963, Analytical Chemistry (35) 146-149
A rapid, accurate, and sensitive indirect spectrophotometric method for the determination of bromide in natural waters is based on the catalytic effect of bromide on the oxidation of iodine to iodate by potassium permanganate in sulfuric acid solution. The method is applicable to concentrations ranging from 1 to 100 μg....
Food of the bloater, Coregonus hoyi, in Lake Michigan
LaRue Wells, Alfred M. Beeton
1963, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (92) 245-255
Stomachs were examined from 1,469 Lake Michigan bloaters, Coregonus [Leucichthys] hoyi, greater than 7 inches long which contained identifiable food. An additional 461 ciscoes less than 7 inches long were incorporated into the study; these latter fish were not positively identified, but most of them undoubtedly were bloaters. The specimens...
