Isotopic composition of carbon and hydrogen in some Apollo 14 and 15 lunar samples
Irving Friedman, Kenneth G. Hardcastle, Jim D. Gleason
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 7-12
Isotopic composition of carbon and hydrogen in some Apollo 14 and 15 lunar samples was determined by use of a newly constructed combustion line that yields low blanks for CO2 and H2. The results from combustion of fines and breccia from Apollo 14 lunar samples and of fines, breccia, and basalt from Apollo 15...
Movement and recapture of parasitic-phase sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) tagged in the St. Marys River and Lakes Huron and Michigan, 1963-67
Harry H. Moore, Frederick H. Dahl, Aarne K. Lamsa
1974, Technical Report 27
Recoveries of 477 (11.8%) of 4,048 tagged parasitic-phase sea lampreys showed that lampreys moved extensively and that interchange between the Great Lakes was common. Of 93 recoveries from 2,265 tagged lampreys released below the navigation locks in the St. Marys River, 80 were in Lake Huron, 12 in Lake Superior,...
Control of the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) in Lake Superior, 1953-70
Bernard R. Smith, J. James Tibbles, B. G. H. Johnson
1974, Technical Report 26
The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) gained entrance into Lake Superior in the early 1940's, and began making drastic inroads on the fish stocks by the early 1950's. Serious efforts to control the parasite began in 1953 with the installation of electrical barriers in streams to block spawning runs. Control measures...
Fish sporozoa: Extraction of antigens from Myxosoma cerebralis spores which mimic tissue antigens of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
G.B. Pauley
1974, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (31) 1481-1484
This is the first report of an antigenic preparation from the spore stage of any histozoic sporozoan parasite. The method for successful extraction of the antigens is presented. This antigenic preparation is active in rabbits, but not salmonid fish. The detection of asymptomatic carrier fish using the spore antigens was...
Myxosoma cerebralis: Comparative sensitivity of spore detection methods
M.E. Markiw, K. Wolf
1974, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (31) 1597-1600
Physical and biophysical methods of detecting spores of Myxosoma cerebralis were used in sequence on 87 individual fingerling rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) from two populations with a low incidence of infection. Physical methods of releasing spores from the organs of equilibrium, gill arches, or the axial skeleton gave an estimated rate of...
Various fish species as biological control agents for the dark rice field mosquito in Arkansas rice fields
R. B. Davey, M. V. Meisch, D. L. Gray, J. M. Martin, Kermit E. Sneed, F. J. Williams
1974, Environmental Entomology (3) 823-826
During the summers of 1972–73, 10 fish species were evaluated as predators against larvae of the dark rice field mosquito, Psorophora confinnis (Lynch-Arribalzaga), near Stuttgart, Ark. Stocking rates were 0.02, 0.03, and 0.06 fish/ft 2 . At the lowest stocking rate green sunfish, Lepomis cyanellus Rafinesque, reduced larval numbers by 89.7% and were significantly more effective...
A review of the literature on the use of TFM-Bayluscide in fisheries
Sandra E. Hamilton
1974, Literature Review 74-03
Since 1956 the Great Lakes Fishery Commission has been responsible for formulating and implementing a program to eradicate or control the sea lamprey in the Great Lakes. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Sea Lamprey Control Centre of the Canadian Department of the Environment act as agents for...
Corynebacterial kidney disease of salmonids: Growth and serological studies on the causative bacterium
G. L. Bullock, H. M. Stuckey, P. K. Chen
1974, Applied Microbiology (28) 811-814
Comparative growth studies of 10 isolates of the Corynebacterium of salmonid kidney disease were quantified on four media. Greatest cell yield was obtained from Mueller-Hinton medium with 0.1% L-cysteine hydrochloride. Serological tests, in which rabbit antisera used against typical bacteria strains showed all to be antigenically homologous, provided a reliable method of...
A review of the literature on the use of Bayluscide in fisheries
Sandra E. Hamilton
1974, Literature Review 74-02
In the United States Bayluscide has had multiple uses. The 70% wettable powder has been used in Puerto Rico for snail control and the 5% granular formulation has been tested in Michigan and Wisconsin against freshwater snails serving as inter mediate hosts of the trematode causing swimmers' itch. Bayluscide has...
An antigenic comparison between infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (OSV strain) and the virus of haemorrhagic septicaemia of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) (Denmark strain) by cross neutralization
P. E. McAllister, J. L. Fryer, K.S. Pilcher
1974, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (10) 101-103
The infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (OSV strain) and the virus of haemorrhagic septicaemia of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) (Denmark strain) were examined for possible antigenic relationship by plaque neutralization using homologous and heterologous antisera. No neutralization of either virus was observed on exposure to heterologous antiserum. This indicates that there...
In vitro and in vivo efficacy of potentiated sulfonamide in control of furunculosis in salmonids
G. L. Bullock, H. M. Stuckey, D. Collis, R. L. Herman, G. Maestrone
1974, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (31) 75-82
In vitro and in vivo efficacy of a potentiated sulffonamide, Ro5–0037, for inhibition of Aeromonas salmonicida, causative agent of fish furunculosis was determined. The components of the potentiated sulfonamide, sulfadimethoxine, and ormetoprim were tested alone and in combination. In vitro results showed that both sulfonamide-resistant and sensitive strains of A. salmonicida had greater sensitivity...

New concepts regarding the production of waterfowl and other game birds in areas of diversified agriculture
H.K. Nelson, Harold F. Duebbert
1974, Book chapter
Many concepts regarding breeding ecology of waterfowl and the influences of environmental factors on annual production have changed in the past 20 years. These influences are especially pronounced in the prairie region of central North America where agriculture becomes more intensive each year. The principal task assigned to this Research...

1974, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (22) 85-90
The magnetic susceptibility of 11 glass spherules from the Apollo 15, 16, and 17 fines and two specimens of a relatively large glass spherical shell were studied as a function of temperature from room temperature to liquid helium temperatures. All but one...
Erosion by catastrophic floods on Mars and Earth
V.R. Baker, D.J. Milton
1974, Icarus (23) 27-41
The large Martian channels, especially Kasei, Ares, Tiu, Simud, and Mangala Valles, show morphologic features strikingly similar to those of the Channeled Scabland of eastern Washington, produced by the catastrophic breakout floods of Pleistocene Lake Missoula. Features in the overall pattern include the...
