Textural variation within Great Salt Lake algal mounds
Robert B. Halley
1976, Book chapter, Stromatolites
This chapter discusses textural variation within the Great Salt Lake algal mounds. Great Salt Lake algal mounds contain: (1) a framework of non-skeletal, algally induced aragonite precipitates; (2) internal sediment; and (3) inorganic cement. These three elements create a variety of laminated, poorly laminated, and unlaminated internal textures. Interior framework...

Earthquakes; January-March 1976
W. J. Person
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 24-27
The year 1976 started out quite active, seismically. Four major earthquakes occurred in different parts of the world during the first 3 months of the year. Three earthquakes rattled the western rim of the Pacific Ocean from the Kuril Islands to the Kermadec Islands. The fourth major earthquake struck Guatemala,...
Earthquakes, October 1975
W. J. Person
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 26-27
October was an active month seismically, although there were no damaging earthquakes in the United States. Several States experienced earthquakes that were felt sharply. There were four major earthquakes in other parts of the world, including a magntidue 7.4 in the Philippine Islands that killed on person. ...
Earthquakes, April-May 1976
W. J. Person
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 28-30
This was an active period, seismically speaking, with four major earthquakes and a number of strong earthquakes in many parts of the world. Northern Italy experienced one of its most destructive earthquakes in many years. Ecuador suffered fatalities and damage from a strong quake. Uzbek SSR was struck by two...
Physiological response to hooking stress in hatchery and wild rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
R.S. Wydoski, Gary Wedemeyer, N. C. Nelson
1976, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (105) 601-606
This study evaluated the physiological response of rainbow trout to hooking stress after being played under standardized conditions (0–5 min) and estimated the time needed for recovery (to 72 h). Plasma osmolality and chloride measurements were used to evaluate osmoregulatory disturbances and gill ion-exchange function, and plasma glucose was used...
Geologic history of Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1976, Report
Cape Cod, a sandy peninsula built mostly during the Ice Age, juts into the Atlantic Ocean like a crooked arm. Because of its exposed location, Cape Cod was visited by many early explorers. Although clear-cut evidence is lacking, the Vikings may have sighted this land about 1,000 years ago. It...

Duck nesting in fields of undisturbed grass-legume cover
Harold F. Duebbert, J. T. Lokemoen
1976, Journal of Wildlife Management (40) 39-49
A study of dabbling duck (Anatinae) nesting was conducted during 1971-73 on nine 12- to 54-ha Cropland Adjustment Program fields in the prairie pothole region of north-central South Dakota. The tall, dense vegetation was comprised of introduced cool-season grasses and legumes, primarily smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis), intermediate wheatgrass (Agropyron intermedium),...
The Anderson Reservoir seismic gap - Induced aseismicity?
C. G. Bufe
1976, Engineering Geology (10) 255-262
A persistent 10-km seismicity gap along the Calaveras fault appears to be related to the presence of the Leroy Anderson Reservoir in the Calaveras-Silver Creek fault zones southeast of San Jose, California. A magnitude-4.7 earthquake occurred at a depth of 5 km in the centre of the gap on October...
Seismicity and faulting attributable to fluid extraction
R. F. Yerkes, R. O. Castle
1976, Engineering Geology (10) 151-167
The association between fluid injection and seismicity has been well documented and widely publicized. Less well known, but probably equally widespread are faulting and shallow seismicity attributable solely to fluid extraction, particularly in association with petroleum production. Two unequivocable examples of seismicity and faulting associated with fluid extraction in the...
Optimum level of dietary biotin for growth, feed utilization, and swimming stamina of fingerling lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush)
H. A. Poston
1976, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (33) 1803-1806
Triplicate lots of fingerling lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) held at 9 C for 20 wk were fed a semipurified basal diet supplemented with 1% spray-dried egg white or d-biotin at concentrations of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, or 5.0 ppm. Trout fed the basal diet, either alone or with egg white, grew more slowly and...

Fine structure of an unidentified protozoon in the epithelium of rainbow trout exposed to water with Myxosoma cerebralis
S.B. Daniels, R. L. Herman, C.N. Burke
1976, Journal of Protozoology (23) 402-410
An intracellular protozoon was discovered in the epithelium of young rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) exposed for as short a time as 1 hr to water known to contain infective stages of Myxosoma cerebralis. Light- and electron-microscopic examination of this tissue revealed what appeared to be a proliferative stage (presumptive schizont) of a...
Teton Dam flood of June 1976, Menan Buttes quadrangle, Idaho
Cecil A. Thomas, Herman A. Ray, William A. Harenberg
1976, Hydrologic Atlas 570
The failure of the Teton Dam caused extreme flooding along the Teton River, Henrys Fork, and Snake River in southeastern Idaho on June 5-8, 1976. No flooding occurred downstream from American Falls Reservoir. The inundated areas and maximum water-surface elevations are shown in a series of 17 hydrologic atlases. The...

Prevention and control of viral diseases of salmonids
Donald F. Amend
1976, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (33) 1059-1066
Three viral diseases of salmonids are of worldwide concern: infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS), and infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN). Six principal approaches are being used to prevent or control these diseases: 1) preventing contact o the pathogen with the host, 2) environmental manipulation, 3) immunization, 4) chemotherapy,...
Physiological response of juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) to handling and crowding stress in intensive fish culture
Gary A. Wedemeyer
1976, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (33) 2699-2702
Moving 4–5-in. coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) held in soft (20 ppm CaCO3) water from the relatively light loading density of 0.5 lb/ft3 to 1, 2, or 4 lb/ft3 (density index, DI = 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8) caused significant stress as indicated by loss of feeding behavior, but only minimal physiological disturbances, as indicated by lack of hyperglycemia...

1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 21-25
Hisotrically active volcanoes in the conterminous United States are restricted to the Cascade Range and extend to the Cascade Range and extend from Mount Baker near the Canadian border to Lassen Peak in northern California. Since 1800 A.D, most eruptive activity has been on a relatively small scale and has...
