Fall migration of Ross' Gull (Rhodostethia rosea) in Alaskan Chukchi and Beaufort seas: Final report
George J. Divoky, Gerald A. Sanger, Scott A. Hatch, J. Christopher Haney
1988, Report
Ross’ Gulls (Rhodostethia rosea) are a major component of the pelagic avifauna of the Alaskan Chukchi and Beaufort seas in fall. Until recently, however, their distribution, abundance, and phenology of occurrence in Alaskan waters was poorly known. Since 1970, a combination of shipboard, aerial, and land-based surveys has revealed the...
Colony attendance and population monitoring of Black-legged Kittiwakes on the Semidi Islands, Alaska
Scott A. Hatch, Martha A. Hatch
1988, The Condor (90) 613-620
Patterns of colony attendance in Black-legged Kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) were studied over 5 years on the Semidi Islands, western Gulf of Alaska. A census period of 50 days, extending from first egg laying through final hatching, was appropriate because counts made then were subject to the least amount of daily...

Seasonal occurrence of migrant whimbrels and bristle-thighed curlews on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska
Colleen M. Handel, Christian P. Dau
1988, The Condor (90) 782-790
Migrant Whimbrels (Numenius phaeopus) and Bristle-thighed Curlews (N. tahitiensis) were recorded during five summers along coastal tundra of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska. From June to September, 1975-1979, 358 flocks totalling 1,265 curlews were observed; an additional 54 flocks were identified by vocalization alone. Among the 359 flocks identified to species,...
Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus detected by separation and incubation of cells from salmonid cavity fluid.
D. Mulcahy, W.N. Batts
1987, Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (44) 1071-1075
Infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) virus is usually detected by inoculating susceptible cell cultures with cavity ("ovarian") fluid (CF) from spawning females. We identified additional adult carriers of virus in spawning populations of steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) and sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) by collecting nonerythrocytic cells from CF samples by low-speed...
Comparison of five techniques for the detection of Renibacterium salmoninarum in adult coho salmon.
R.J. Pascho, D.G. Elliott, R.W. Mallett, D. Mulcahy
1987, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (116) 882-890
Samples of kidney, spleen, coelomic fluid, and blood from 56 sexually mature coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch were examined for infection by Renibacterium salmoninarum by five methods. The overall prevalence (all sample types combined) of R. salmoninarum in the fish was 100% by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, 86% by the combined...
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for a soluble antigen of Renibacterium salmoninarum, the causative agent for salmonid bacterial kidney disease
R.J. Pascho, D. Mulcahy
1987, Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (44) 183-191
A double-antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of a soluble fraction of Renibacterium salmoninarum was developed from components extracted from the supernatant of an R. salmoninarum broth culture. The Costar® Serocluster™ EIA microplate gave the highest absorbance and signal-to-noise ratios among seven types tested. Including Tween 80 in the...
Trends in spawning populations of Pacific anadromous salmonids
G.W. Konkel, J.D. McIntyre
1987, Fish and Wildlife Technical Report 9
Annual escapement records for 1968-1984 for five species of Pacific salmon-chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho (O. kisutch), sockeye (O. nerka), pink (O. gorbuscha), and chum (O. keta)—and steelhead (Salmo gairdneri) were obtained from published and unpublished sources and organized in a computer database. More than 25,500 escapement records were obtained for...
Summer spawning in the fourhorn sculpin, Myoxocephalus quadricornis, from Alaska
S.R. Goldberg, W. T. Yasutake, R.L. West
1987, Canadian Field-Naturalist (101) 457-457
Histological ovarian analysis indicates summer spawning occurs in Myoxocephalus quadricornis (Fourhorn Sculpin) from Alaska. Previous studies have shown this species spawns during winter in the Baltic Sea; the data presented herein suggests that geographical variation may occur in the timing of spawning of this species....
Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge land cover mapping project users guide
Carl J. Markon
1987, Report
Title III of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (ANILCA, 1980) established the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge (TNWR). Section 304 of the Act requires the Secretary of Interior to "prepare, and from time to time revise, a comprehensive conservation plan" for the refuge. Before developing a plan...
Nesting by pomarine jaegers near Barrow, Alaska, 1971
Thomas W. Custer, Frank A. Pitelka
1987, Journal of Field Ornithology (58) 225-230
An estimated 5.7 pairs of pomarine jaegers km -2 (14.8 mi -2) nested near Barrow, Alaska, in 1971. Hatching success of 67 eggs (34 nests) was 57%. Fledging success of 44 nestlings (26 nests) was 32%. An estimated 0.4 young survived to 25 d of age per nesting attempt....
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, Coastal Plain Resource Assessment: Report and recommendation to the Congress of the United States and final legislative environmental impact statement
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
1987, Report
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, in the northeastern corner of Alaska, was first established as the Arctic National Wildlife Range by Public Land Order 2214 in 1960, for the purpose of preserving unique wildlife, wilderness, and recreational values. The original 8.9-millionacre Range was withdrawn from all forms of appropriation under...

Accretion of southern Alaska
John W. Hillhouse
1987, Tectonophysics (139) 107-122
Paleomagnetic data from southern Alaska indicate that the Wrangellia and Peninsular terranes collided with central Alaska probably by 65 Ma ago and certainly no later than 55 Ma ago. The accretion of these terranes to the mainland was followed by the arrival of the Ghost Rocks volcanic assemblage at the...

Quantity and quality of urban runoff from the Chester Creek basin Anchorage, Alaska
T. P. Brabets
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4312
Urbanization has affected both the flow characteristics and water quality of streams in the Chester Creek basin, of Anchorage, Alaska. Peak flows are higher in the urban rather than rural parts of the basin, and the percent of effective impervious area has a significant effect on storm runoff volumes and...
