Relation of long- and short-term atmospheric sulfur concentrations to sulfate deposition in New York State
C.R. Barnes
1987, Northeastern Environmental Science (6) 89-98
Records from 1965-80 indicate an annual decrease of 1.9% in sulfur dioxide emissions upwind of New York, an annual decrease of 1.5% in atmospheric particulate sulfate concentration in New York, and an annual decrease of 2.0% in sulfate-deposition rate in New York. Sulfate-deposition rates in bulk sampling in New York...
Paint chip poisoning of Laysan albatross at Midway Atoll
L. Sileo, S.I. Fefer
1987, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (23) 432-437
Epizootic mortality occurred in Laysan albatross (Diomedea immutabilis) fledgings at Midway Atoll in 1983. Heavy metal toxicity from ingestion of weathered paint chips was one of the causes. Sick albatrosses were unable to retract their wings, causing a 'droop-wing' appearance. Five normal and 12 droop-winged fledglings were captured, killed, and...

Thermal and dissolved oxygen characteristics of a South Carolina cooling reservoir
James L. Oliver, Patrick L. Hudson
1987, Water Resources Bulletin (23) 257-269
Temperature and dissolved oxygen concentrations were measured monthly from January 1971 to December 1982 at 1-m depth intervals at 13 stations in Keowee Reservoir in order to characterize spatial and temporal changes associated with operation of the Oconee Nuclear Station. The reservoir water column was i to 4°C warmer in...
Benthic foraminifers on the continental shelf and upper slope, Russian River area, northern California ( USA).
P. J. Quinterno, J.V. Gardner
1987, Journal of Foraminiferal Research (17) 132-152
We analyzed benthic foraminifers from 71 surface samples collected from the sea floor of the continental margin. One hundred and six different taxa were identified, and Q-mode factor analysis was used to identify assemblages. Six foraminiferal assemblage factors explain 94% of the variation in the data matrix. The Inner Shelf...

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...
Transmission of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus in striped bass, Morone saxatilis (Walbaum)
S.J. Wechsler, L.C. Woods, J.N. Kraeuter, F. M. Hetrick, P. E. McAllister
1987, Journal of Fish Diseases (10) 29-34
Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) did not cause increased mortality in experimentally challenged striped bass, Morone saxatilis (Walbaum). Fry became transiently infected after waterborne challenge but fingerlings were resistant to that route. However, striped bass fingerlings readily became chronic virus carriers following ingestion of IPNV-contaminated food. Vertical...
Effects of rearing density on growth, survival, and fin condition of Atlantic salmon
R. W. Soderberg, J. W. Meade
1987, Progressive Fish-Culturist (49) 280-283
Parr of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were reared to final densities of 0.53‐4.29 lb/ft2 of rearing container bottom area under conditions of constant temperature, water quality, and diet. Growth and survival were not affected by density. After 171 d, the condition of pectoral and dorsal fins had not changed from that...
Effects of feeding and fasting on wolf blood and urine characteristics
Glenn D. DelGiudice, Ulysses S. Seal, L. David Mech
1987, Journal of Wildlife Management (51) 1-10
Feeding and fasting trials were conducted with 2 groups (A and B) of 4 gray wolves (Canis lupus) each during January 1980. The groups were fed for 9 days and fasted for 10 days in a cross-over design. Blood and urine samples and weight data were collected every 2-3 days...
Use of urine in snow to indicate condition of wolves
L. David Mech, Ulysses S. Seal, Glenn D. DelGiudice
1987, Journal of Wildlife Management (51) 10-13
Urine deposited in snow by wild gray wolves (Canis lupus) and by fed and fasted captive wolves was analyzed for urea nitrogen, calcium, sodium, potassium, and creatinine. Ratios of the elements with creatinine were considerably higher for fed than for fasted animals, and ratios for fed wolves compared favorably 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...

K. W. Toppin
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4358
The Nashua Regional Planning Commission area in south-central New Hampshire is a 12-community area that is experiencing increases in population and in demands for water supply.

Growth and survival of fingerling lake trout reared at four densities
R. W. Soderberg, D.S. Baxter, W. F. Krise
1987, Progressive Fish-Culturist (49) 284-285
Fingerling lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) were reared at density indexes (fish density, in pounds per cubic foot, divided by fish length in inches) of 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, and 2.0. Final lengths, weights, condition factors, and mortality rates did not differ among the treatments. We conclude that fingerling lake trout may...

Near infrared detection of ammonium minerals
M. D. Krohn, S. P. Altaner
1987, Geophysics (52) 924-930
Diagnostic near-infrared spectral features have been identified for minerals with ammonium (NH (super +) 4 ) bound in the crystal structure. Spectral bands near 2.12, 2.02, and 1.56 mu m are characteristic of synthetic and natural NH 4 -bearing minerals. Laboratory spectra of NH 4 -bearing minerals are distinct from spectra of OH-bearing minerals and have...

R. A. Zielinski, R.R. Schumann
1987, Journal of Geochemical Exploration (27) 281-298
Douglas fir trees and associated soils were sampled from the slopes of a small (∼4 km2) drainage basin in northeastern Washington to investigate the biogeochemical response to locally uraniferous groundwater. Uranium is preferentially incorporated in needles and twigs compared to larger...
