Thomas G. Yocom, Thomas A. Edsall
1974, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (31) 1503-1506
Fry of lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) acclimated to 10, 15, and 18 C were exposed to temperatures of 24.5, 25, and 28 C for 1 min and then immediately returned to water at their acclimation temperature, in test tanks containing yearling yellow perch (Perca flavescens). The number of attacks on the fry and...

Serological diagnosis of corynebacterial kidney disease of salmonids
P. K. Chen, G. L. Bullock, H. M. Stuckey, A.C. Bullock
1974, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (31) 1939-1940
An immunodiffusion test is described which provides a rapid, sensitive, and definitive diagnosis of corynebacterial kidney disease of salmonid fishes. Specific precipitin lines are formed within 24 h when rabbit antiserum is reacted with kidney disease cell suspensions or internal tissue homogenates containing the specific bacterium. No precipitin lines are formed...

1974, Water Supply Paper 2033
The lower Pawcatuck River basin in southwestern Rhode Island is an area of about 169 square miles underlain by crystalline bedrock over which lies a relatively thin mantle of glacial till and stratified drift. Stratified drift, consisting dominantly of sand and gravel, occurs in irregularly shaped linear deposits that are...

Hazards to animals feeding on blackbirds killed with 4-aminopyridine baits
E. W. Schafer Jr., R.B. Brunton, Norman F. Lockyer
1974, Journal of Wildlife Management (38) 424-426
Red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) killed by ingesting cracked corn baits treated with 3 percent 4-aminopyridine, or by oral doses of 4-aminopyridine, were fed to canines, laboratory rats (Rattus norvegicus), black-billed magpies (Pica pica), and three species of hawks. The test animals consumed the equivalent of up to 3.4 LD50 doses...
