Predation by fish on walleye eggs on a spawning reef in western Lake Erie, 1969-71
David R. Wolfert, Wolf-Dieter N. Busch, Carl T. Baker
1975, Ohio Journal of Science (75) 118-125
Nearly 2,000 fish representing 21 species were captured with experimental gillnets on Kelleys Island Shoal during the spawning and incubation periods of walleyes (Stizostedion v. vitreum) in 1969-71. A total of 794 stomachs were examined. Four species contained walleye eggs: yellow perch (Perca flavescens), spottail shiner (Notropis hudsonius), stonecat (Noturus...
Environmental factors affecting the strength of walleye (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) year-classes in western Lake Erie, 1960-70
Wolf-Dieter N. Busch, Russell L. Scholl, Wilbur L. Hartman
1975, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (32) 1733-1743
Commercial production of walleyes (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) from western Lake Erie declined from 5.9 million pounds in 1956 to 140,000 pounds by 1969. Since 1956, marked irregularity in year-class success has developed. Only four year-classes were considered good during 1959–70. The rate and regularity of water warming during the spring...

A spring aerial census of red foxes in North Dakota
A.B. Sargeant, W.K. Pfeifer, S.H. Allen
1975, Journal of Wildlife Management (39) 30-39
Systematic aerial searches were flown on transects to locate adult red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), pups, and rearing dens on 559.4 km2 (six townships) in eastern North Dakota during mid-May and mid-June each year from 1969 through 1973 and during mid-April 1969 and early May 1970. The combined sightings of foxes...
Earthquake history of New Mexico
C. A. von Hake
1975, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (7) 23-26
Most of New Mexico's historical seismcity has been concentrated in the Rio Grande Valley between Socorro and Albuquerque. About half of the earthquakes of intensity V or greater (Modified Mercalli intensity) that occurred in teh State between 1868 and 1973 were centered in this region. ...

Heavy minerals in stream sands of the southern Hazara District, Pakistan
Karl W. Stauffer
1975, Open-File Report 75-360
The areal distribution of heavy minerals in 99 samples from stream sands in the southern Hazara District, West Pakistan, indicates that the metamorphic grade of the rocks in the area increases toward the northwest. Minerals of potential economic value in the heavy-mineral samples include scheelite from the Oghi-Batgram-Battal area and...
Interstitial solutions and diagenesis in deeply buried marine sediments: Results from the Deep Sea Drilling Project
F.L. Sayles, F.T. Manheim
1975, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (39) 103-127
Through the Deep Sea Drilling Project samples of interstitial solutions of deeply buried marine sediments throughout the World Ocean have been obtained and analyzed. The studies have shown that in all but the most slowly deposited sediments pore fluids exhibit changes in composition upon burial. These changes can be grouped...
Longevity of nonsprouting Ceanothus
Jon E. Keeley
1975, American Midland Naturalist (93) 504-507
Evidence is presented indicating species of Ceanothus in the subgenus Cerastes are generally longer-lived than species in the subgenus Euceanothus. It is proposed that this is due, at least in part, to the unique stem morphology of the former. The stems of these plants have a ribbed appearance which arises...
Fitting Richards' curve to data of diverse origins
Douglas H. Johnson, A.B. Sargeant, S.H. Allen
1975, Growth (39)
Published techniques for fitting data to nonlinear growth curves are briefly reviewed, most techniques require knowledge of the shape of the curve. A flexible growth curve developed by Richards (1959) is discussed as an alternative when the shape is unknown. The shape of this curve is governed by a specific...
Duck plague: carrier state and gross pathology in black ducks
Jorge E. Ossa
1975, Thesis
Duck plague (UP) is a highly fatal disease of ducks, geese, and swans (family Anatidae), produced by a reticulo-endotheliotrophic virus classified as a member of the Herpesvirus group. The disease was recognized in Europe in 1949. On the American continent, the disease was first diagnosed in the United States in...
History of fish toxicants in the United States
K.B. Cumming
1975, Special Publication 4
Many bodies of water have been overrun with fish species that are undesirable for the well-being of endemic aquatic biota and are of little or no interest to anglers. This situation has resulted from the transplanting of fish, creation of new waters, increasing fishing pressure and changing water quality. Although...

Preliminary description and interpretation of cores and radiographs from Clear Lake, Lake County, California: Core 7
John D. Sims, Michael J. Rymer
1975, Open-File Report 75-144
Clear Lake, California is located in the California Coast Ranges about 120 km north of San Francisco and is the largest freshwater lake wholly within California. The lake basin is tectonically controlled (Anderson, 1936; Brice, 1953, Sims and Rymer, 1974) and the area seismically active (Coffman and von Hake, 1973).Interest...
Streamflow characteristics in northeastern Utah and adjacent areas
Fred K. Fields
1975, Utah Basic-Data Release 25
This report contains statistical summaries of streamflow records from 74 gaging stations, which are mostly in northeastern Utah. Low- flow, high-flow, and flow-duration summaries were compiled from daily discharge values; and flows of each month are compared through correlation with flows of 1, 2, and 12 months in the future....

Location of the non-tidal current null zone in northern San Francisco Bay
David H. Peterson, T. J. Conomos, W. W. Broenkow, Patrick C. Doherty
1975, Estuarine and Coastal Marine Science (3) 1-11
Variations in Sacramento-San Joaquin River discharge into northern San Francisco Bay causes shifts in location of the bottom density current null zone. At a river flow of 2000 m3/s this null zone is approximately 20 km from the seaward end of the estuary,...
Thoracic collapse as affected by the retia thoracica in the dolphin
Clifford A. Hui
1975, Respiration Physiology (25) 63-70
The carcass of a subadult female Delphinus was placed in a hyperbaric chamber and subjected to two simulated dives each equivalent to 69.7 m. In one dive the thorax was in its natural state, and in the other 100 ml of water had been injected into each pleural cavity. Various morphometric...
Rare earths in the Leadville Limestone and its marble derivates
J.C. Jarvis, T.R. Wildeman, N.G. Banks
1975, Chemical Geology (16) 27-37
Samples of unaltered and metamorphosed Leadville Limestone (Mississippian, Colorado) were analyzed by neutron activation for ten rare-earth elements (REE). The total abundance of the REE in the least-altered limestone is 4–12 ppm, and their distribution patterns are believed to be dominated by...

Determining earthquake recurrence intervals from deformational structures in young lacustrine sediments
John D. Sims
1975, Tectonophysics (29) 141-152
Examination of the silty sediments in the lower Van Normal reservoir after the 1971 San Fernando, California earthquake revealed three zones of deformational structures in the 1-m-thick sequence of sediments exposed over about 2 km2 of the reservoir bottom. These zones are correlated with moderate earthquakes that shook the San Fernando...
Uranium determination in natural water by the fissiontrack technique
G.M. Reimer
1975, Journal of Geochemical Exploration (4) 425-431
The fission track technique, utilizing the neutron-induced fission of uranium-235, provides a versatile analytical method for the routine analysis of uranium in liquid samples of natural water. A detector is immersed in the sample and both are irradiated. The fission track density observed...
