Chemotherapy of fish diseases: A review
R. L. Herman
1970, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (6) 31-34
Fish suffer from environmental, nutritional, viral, bacterial, parasitic, and neoplastic diseases, many of which are similar to those of higher animals. The prevention and treatment of these diseases follow the same principles as diseases of other animals. Fish culture is similar to poultry husbandry in that large numbers of animals...
Salmonid viruses: Double infection of RTG-2 cells with Egtved and infectious pancreatic necrosis viruses
K. Wolf, P. E. Vestergard Jorgensen
1970, Archiv Fur Die Gesamte Virusforschung (29) 337-342
Egtved and infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) viruses were applied at high multiplicity alone and in combination to RTG-2 cells in liquid medium. Procedures were used which selectively suppressed one or the other virus, and the yields were determined after 64 hours at 15°C. The viruses showed an increase of 280...

Young-of-the-year ciscoes (Coregonus artedii) acclimated to 2, 5, 10, 20 and 25 C and tested for tolerance to high and low temperatures provide the first detailed description of the thermal tolerance of coregonids in North America. The upper ultimate lethal temperature of the young ciscoes was 26 C (6 C...
Waterfowl in relation to land use and water levels on the Spring Run Area
Gary L. Krapu, D.R. Parsons, M.W. Weller
1970, Iowa State Journal of Science (44) 437-452
Low water levels during critical phases of the breeding cycle appear to have caused population declines of waterfowl and other marsh birds on the Spring Run Game Management Area. Pair-counts indicated a decline from 70 pairs of waterfowl in 1965 to 2 pairs in 1968. Nest success of upland nesting...
GLC determination of quinaldine residue in fish
J. L. Allen, J.B. Sills
1970, Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (53) 20-23
A procedure for the determination of quinaldine residue in various fish tissues is described. Homogenized tissues are extracted with hexane-ethyl ether, the extracts are concentrated by partitioning through 0.1N sulfuric acid, and the residues are measured by alkali flame ionization gas chromatography. Muscle tissues containing from 0.01 to 10.0 ppm quinaldine...

Thomas A. Edsall
1970, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (99) 376-380
Eggs from Lake Michigan alewives (Alosa pseudoharengus) were incubated at 79 different temperatures from 42.1 to 87.0 F. Hatching occurred at 44.4-84.9 F and was optimum (38% hatched) at about 64 F. Incubation time varied from 15 days at 45 F to 3.7 days at 70 F and 2.1 days...
Resource crises in Lake Erie
Wilbur L. Hartman
1970, Explorer (12) 6-11
Despite the tremendous value of the Great Lakes, a malaise is seriously destroying their worth. Accelerated enrichment, unabated pollution, over-exploitation, and accidental and intentional introduction of exotic species, have all been guided--more often misguided--by man. Of all five Great Lakes, Lake Erie stands out as the one most...
Temperature tolerance of bloater (Coregonus hoyi)
Thomas A. Edsall, Donald V. Rottiers, Edward H. Brown
1970, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (27) 2047-2052
Juvenile and young adult bloaters (Coregonus hoyi) were tested for tolerance to high temperatures. The ultimate upper lethal temperature of juvenile bloaters (26.75 C) appeared to be slightly higher than that of young adult bloaters, but was similar to that of juvenile ciscoes,Coregonus artedii (26.0 C), the only other North American coregonine for...

K.J. Capelle
1970, Journal of Medical Entomology (7) 320-327
Cuterebra polita Coquillett is a primary parasite of the pocket gopher. Thomomys talpoides. in the western United States. It also occurs secondarily in other wild rodents that come into close contact with pocket gophers.Field studies disclosed pursuit, mating, and ovipositing at an aggregation site near Monte Cristo, Utah. Eggs were...
Body-scale relation and calculation of growth in fishes
Ralph Hile
1970, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (99) 468-474
Most calculations of fish growth from scale measurements are made from one of four types of curves: straight line through the origin (Dahl-Lea); straight line with intercept (Lee); logarithmic line (Monastyrsky); empirically derived curve (SegerstråYle). Occasionally, different curves are used for different length intervals of fish. Present understanding of the...
Waterfowl breeding habitat in agricultural and nonagricultural land in Manitoba
T.J. Dwyer
1970, Journal of Wildlife Management (34) 130-136
Waterfowl populations and habitat characteristics were examined on 33 potholes in each of two 16-square-mile study areas of agricultural and nonagricultural land in southwestern Manitoba. The agricultural land potholes, lacking in or incompletely surrounded by trees, received greater use by lesser scaup (Aythya affinis), canvasback (A. valisineria), redhead (A. americana),...

Henry F. Lucas Jr., David N. Edgington, Peter J. Colby
1970, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (27) 677-684
The concentration of 15 trace elements was determined by activation analysis of samples of whole fish and fish livers from three of the Great Lakes: Michigan, Superior, and Erie. The average concentrations of 7 elements in 19 whole fish from 3 species were as follows: uranium, 3ppb (parts per billion);...
Effects of alewife predation on zooplankton populations in Lake Michigan
LaRue Wells
1970, Limnology and Oceanography (15) 556-565
The zooplankton populations in southeastern Lake Michigan underwent striking, size-related changes between 1954 and 1966. Forms that decline sharply were the largest cladocerans (Leptodora kindtii, Daphnia galeata, and D. retrocurva), the largest calanoid copepods (Limnocalanus macrurus, Epischura lacustris, and Diaptomus sicilis), and the largest cyclopoid copepod (Mesocyclops edax). Two of...
Walleye fishery of Lake Erie in 1943-62 with emphasis on contributions of the 1942-61 year-classes
John W. Parsons
1970, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (27) 1475-1489
The commercial fishery for walleyes (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) in Lake Erie virtually collapsed in the late 1950's. The extreme decline in production was attributed primarily to a succession of weak year-classes, caused by habitat deterioration (increased water temperatures, enrichment, and pollution) in western Lake Erie. Unusually high fishing intensity and...
Fin degeneration of young-of-the-year Alosa pseudoharengus (Clupeidae) in southern Lake Michigan
Edward H. Brown Jr., Carroll R. Norden
1970, Copeia (1970) 766-769
Young-of-the-year alewives, Alosa pseudoharengus, with extremely shortened caudal fins were observed at four locations in southern Lake Michigan between 1964 and 1968. Some of the fins appeared stunted or underdeveloped, but microscopic examination revealed a deterioration of the fins and not an ontogenetic abnormality. Deterioration of the caudal fin was...
Experimental hybridization among five species of lampreys from the Great Lakes
George W. Piavis, John H. Howell, Allen J. Smith
1970, Copeia (1970) 29-37
Experimental hybridization among five species of lampreys of the Upper Great Lakes routinely produced embryos through stage 8, and four crosses produced embryos to the larval stage. Three critical periods in the embryogenesis of hybrid lampreys were between stages 8 and 9, among stages 10, 11, and 12, and at...
