Direct fluorescent antibody technique for the detection of bacterial kidney disease in paraffin-embedded tissues
T. Ochiai, W. T. Yasutake, R. W. Gould
1985, Fish Pathology (19) 271-272
The direct fluorescent antibody technique (FAT) was successfully used to detect the causative agent of bacterial kidney disease (BKD), Renibacterium salmoninarum, in Bouin's solution flexed and paraffinembedded egg and tissue sections. This method is superior to gram stain and may be particularly useful in detecting the BKD organism in fish...
The effects of cortisoland actinomycin D injections on choloride cells and branchial N+---K+-ATPase in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
D.W. Eib, K.L. Hossner
1985, General and Comparative Endocrinology (59) 449-452
Injections of cortisol, actinomycin D, or combined administration of the hormone and the antiobiotic did not effect rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) branchial Na+K+-ATPase activity. Numbers of chloride cells also did not change following cortisol and actinomycin D treatment. These results are discussed in light of a similar report concerning Atlantic...
Vertical transmission of infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus in sockeye salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka (Walbaum): isolation of virus from dead eggs and fry
D. Mulcahy, R.J. Pascho
1985, Journal of Fish Diseases (8) 393-396
The control of epizootics of infectious haematopoietic necrosis (IIHN) virus in salmonid fishes is presently based on examination and certification of adult brood fish to prevent the introduction of virus-infected eggs into hatcheries (Canadian Fisherics and Marine Service 1976; McDaniel 1979). This strategy is based on the assumption that the...
Comparisons of spawning areas and times for two runs of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Kenai River, Alaska
C. V. Burger, R.L. Wilmot, D.B. Wangaard
1985, Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (42) 693-700
From 1979 to 1982,188 chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were tagged with radio transmitters to locate spawning areas in the glacial Kenai River, southcentral Alaska. Results confirmed that an early run entered the river in May and June and spawned in tributaries, and a late run entered the river from late...
Effects of a Kentucky flood-control reservoir on macroinvertebrates in the tailwater
J.F. Novotny
1985, Hydrobiologia (126) 143-153
The effects of a flood-control reservoir on downstream macroinvertebrates were assessed by comparing the tailwater community with that of a natural stream. Samples were collected 1.6 and 21.1 km below Barren River Lake dam in 1979, 1980, and 1981 and in a reservoir tributary in 1980 and 1981. An indication...

Ground-water resources of northern Utah Valley, Utah
D.W. Clark, C. L. Appel
1985, Technical Publication 80
An evaluation was made of the ground-water resources of northern Utah Valley, Utah, to describe the ground-water system and to document changes in ground-water conditions since 1963. The principal ground-water reservoir is in basin-fill deposits. It consists of three major confined aquifers and an unconfined aquifer in pre-Lake Bonneville deposits...
Artificial infestation of largemouth bass and walleye with glochidia of Lampsilis ventricosa (Pelecypoda: Unionidae)
D. L. Waller, L. E. Holland Bartels, L. G. Mitchell, T. W. Kammer
1985, Freshwater Invertebrate Biology (4) 152-153
The unionid mussel Lampsilis ventricosa is a bundant in the upper Mississippi River and provides a model for studies related to recovery of the endangered Higgins' eye mussel (Lampsilis higginsi). We tested the suitability of two species of fish species as hosts for glochidia of L. ventricosa. Laboratory-reared largemouth bass...

Retention behavior of long chain quaternary ammonium homologues and related nitroso-alkymethylamines
S. L. Abidi
1985, Journal of Chromatography (324) 209-230
Several chromatographic methods have been utilized to study the retentionbehavior of a homologous series of n-alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chlorides (ABDAC) and the corresponding nitroso-n-alkylmethylamines (NAMA). Linear correlation of the logarithmic capacity factor (k') with the number of carbons in the alkyl chain provides useful information on both gas chromatographic (GC) and high-performance...
