Factors influencing methionine toxicity in young Bobwhite quail
John A. Serafin
1981, Poultry Science (60) 204-214
Young Bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) were fed low and adequate protein purified diets with and without excess methionine to evaluate factors affecting methionine toxicity. Growth of quail fed an adequate protein (27%) diet, without supplemental glycine, was depressed by 1.75% and 2.25% excess methionine. Supplemental glycine (.3%) alleviated growth depression...

Earthquake-triggered landslides form lakes in New Zealand
1981, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (13) 205-215
Eleven small lakes were formed by landslides caused by the 1929 Buller earthquake in New Zealand; four others were formed by other historic earthquakes in this country. At least nine other New Zealand lakes are dammed by landslides and were probably formed by prehistoric earthquakes. Earthquake-dammed lakes could provide an...

Environmental features and macrofauna of Kahana Estuary, Oahu, Hawaii
J. A. Maciolek, A.S. Timbol
1981, Bulletin of Marine Science (31) 712-722
Lack of ecological information on Hawaiian estuaries prompted an intensive 2-year study of a small (5.7 ha) stream-mouth estuary on windward Oahu. Water quality and macrofauna were sampled weekly at seven stations. The water mass was strongly stratified vertically except during freshets. Average values for water column temperature and bottom...
Shorebirds of the eastern Bering Sea
J.A. Calder, Donald W. Hood
1981, Book chapter, The Eastern Bering Sea Shelf: Oceanography and Resources
Largely on the basis of work conducted in western Alaska since 1975, we present an overview of the shorebird resources of the region and discuss their relationship to the littoral and supralittoral habitats of the area. Thirty species of shorebirds occur regularly and comprise an important component of the eastern...
Easily constructed, economical seawater intake and supply system
G.R. Bouck
1981, Journal of the World Mariculture Society (12) 49-58
A water intake system was designed and installed in Admiralty Inlet, Puget Sound, Washington. The dual system consisted of polyvinylchloride (PVC) pipes, a concrete pit and pumps located on shore at zero tide; and cables attached laterally to the pipelines and terminally between a shoreward anchor and to a seaward...
Birds of the northcentral Alaska Peninsula, 1976-1980
Robert E. Gill Jr., Margaret R. Petersen, Paul D. Jorgensen
1981, Arctic (34) 286-306
Between spring 1976 and fall 1980 we studied the occurrence, abundance, and habitat use of birds over a 2000 square km segment of the northcentral Alaska Peninsula. During this period observers were present 473 days and obtained records for all seasons. A total of 125 species was recorded; 63% (79...
Thermal inactivation of infectious hematopoietic necrosis and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus

1981, Applied and Environmental Microbiology (41) 1081-1082
A plaque assay was used to follow the inactivation kinetics of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus in cell culture media at various temperatures. Inactivation of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus in a visceral organ slurry was compared with that in culture media....
Pelagic distribution of marine birds in the Eastern Bering Sea

1981, Book chapter, The Eastern Bering Sea Shelf: Oceanography and Resources, Volume 2
Analyses of the most abundant marine bird species in the eastern Bering Sea indicate that their distribution and abundance are the result of complex interactions between biotic and abiotic elements of the environment. Of particular importance are the effects of ice systems, food availability, oceanographic frontal systems, and the location...

Antigen-binding cells in the peripheral blood of sockeye salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka Walbaum, induced by immersion or intraperitoneal injection of Vibrio languilarum bacterin
1981, Journal of Fish Biology (19) 83-86
We used an immunocytoadherence assay to monitor the response of antigen-binding cells (ABC) in the peripheral blood of sockeye salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka, after immersion in, or intraperitoneal injection of, Vibrio anguillarum LS 1–74 bacterin. Both methods initiated an elevated ABC response in less than one day; this response persisted one...
