Faces from the past: Frederic Morton Chamberlain (1867-1921), pioneer fishery biologist of the American West
M.R. Jennings
1987, Fisheries (12) 22-29
The life of Frederic Morton Chamberlain (1867–1921) was marked by his many contributions to fishery science. As an assistant with the old U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, he pioneered life history studies of salmon in California and Alaska, and assisted in the collection of hundreds of thousands of natural history specimens...
Diel and seasonal changes of dissolved oxygen an pH in relation to community metabolism of a shallow reservoir in southeast Missouri
G.D. Wylie, J.R. Jones
1987, Journal of Freshwater Ecology (4) 115-125
Diel changes of dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH were measured during 1981–1982 in Pool 1, a shallow reservoir in southeast Missouri. Diel changes in spring and fall were about half those of summer when extensive macrophyte biomass apparently had a strong influence on dynamics of DO and pH....
Use of tree aggregations in forest ecology and management
N.L. Stephenson
1987, Environmental Management (11) 1-5
Two recent studies using tree aggregations to analyze forest age-structure stability and past forest structure are flawed. A better understanding of aggregation dynamics is needed before aggregation analysis is used in forest management....
Mortalities of kelp-forest fishes associated with large oceanic waves off central California, 1982-1983
James L. Bodkin, Glenn R. VanBlaricom, Ronald J. Jameson
1987, Environmental Biology of Fishes (18) 73-76
Observations of three incidents of the mass mortality of nearshore fishes are reported; each corresponded to periods of high-amplitude, long-period swells during the 1982-1983 El Niño event along the coast of central California. Members of the nearshore kelp forest fish assemblage, primarily of the genus Sebastes, accounted for 96%...
Stochastic model for the long-term transport of stored sediment in a river channel
Harvey M. Kelsey, Roland Lamberson, Mary Ann Madej
1987, Water Resources Research (2) 1738-1750
We develop a stochastic model for the transport of stored sediment down a river channel. The model is based on probabilities of transition of particles among four different sediment storage reservoirs, called active (often mobilized), semiactive, inactive, and stable (hardly ever mobilized). The probabilities are derived from computed sediment residence...

Methods of controlling growth of steelhead
R. R. Smith
1987, Progressive Fish-Culturist (49) 248-252
Steelhead (Salmo gairdneri) held at 15°C and fully fed from demand feeders grow larger than desired by the time of their normal release into streams. The effect of limited feed intake on growth, body composition, and potential for migration to the sea was investigated. Dilution of feed by 10‐40% with...
Immunostimulation of antibody-producing cells and humoral antibody to fish bacterins by a biological response modifier
T. Kitao, T. Yoshida, D. P. Anderson, O. W. Dixon, A. Blanch
1987, Journal of Fish Biology (31) 87-91
Numbers of splenic antibody-producing cells and humoral antibody titres were elevated during immunization regimes in rainbow trout when the bacterins Yersinia ruckeri or Aeromonas salmonicida O-antigen preparations were mixed with the immunostimulator FK-565. Fish sampled 14 days after injection showed a marked increase in the immune response when doses of 5, 10 or 100...
Feed conversion indices: Controversy or convention?
N. C. Parker
1987, Progressive Fish-Culturist (49) 161-166
Various methods of calculating and reporting the efficiency of food use in fish husbandry are examined. The effects of moisture content of feed and fish flesh, supplemental feeds augmented with natural feed items, differences in energy content due to feed formulations, and the usefulness of the various feed efficiency indices...

Inelastic properties of ice Ih at low temperatures and high pressures
S. H. Kirby, W.B. Durham, M. L. Beeman, H. C. Heard, M. A. Daley
1987, Journal de Physique Colloques (48) 227-232
The aim of our research programme is to explore the rheological behavior of H2O ices under conditions appropriate to the interiors of the icy satellites of the outer planets in order to give insight into their deformation. To this end, we have performed over 100 constant-strain-rate compression tests at pressures...

Implications of the northwestwardly younger age of the volcanic rocks of west-central California: Alternative Interpretation
Richard G. Stanley
1987, GSA Bulletin (98) 612-614
Fox and others (1985) have made an important contribution to our understanding of iihe evolution of the Mendocino triple junction and the San Andreas transform. They have summarized a large amount of data on the ages and distribution of volcanic centers along the central California coast; their summary clearly shows...
Satellites sense rangeland wildfire hazard (summary)
Donald Westover, Franklin G. Sadowski
1987, Fire Management Notes (48) 9-11
Each day, one or more National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellites, passing over Nebraska, beam back to receiving stations on earth an enormous amount of information about what they sense below. The Nebraska Forest Service has been investigating the possible use of some of this information to evaluate the...
An empirical model for estimating phytoplankton productivity in estuaries
B.E. Cole, J. E. Cloern
1987, Marine Ecology Progress Series (396) 299-305
e have previously shown that primary productivity in San Francisco Bay, USA, is highly correlated with phytoplankton biomass B (chlorophyll a concentration) and an index of light avallability in the photic zone, 2, I, (photic depth times surface irradiance). To test the generality of this relation, we compiled data from...
Crude oil identification with electrothermal vaporization-multiple wavelength absorption spectrometry

A spectrometric technique utilizing electrothermal vaporization (graphite furnace) and gas phase-multiple wavelength absorption with photodiode array detection is used to characterize crude oil....
A compositional multiphase model for groundwater contamination by petroleum products: 1. Theoretical considerations
M. Yavuz Corapcioglu, Arthur L. Baehr
1987, Water Resources Research (23) 191-200
A mathematical model is developed to describe the fate of hydrocarbon constituents of petroleum products introduced to soils as an immiscible liquid from sources such as leaking underground storage tanks and ruptured pipelines. The problem is one of multiphase transport (oil (immiscible), air, and water phases) of a reactive contaminant...
