Earthquakes, November-December 1973
W. J. Person
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 26-27
A number of significant earthquakes happened during the last 2 months of 1973. Two major earthquakes (magnitude 7.0-7.9) occurred in the New Hebrides Islands, bringing the final major earthquake total for the year to 11, somewhat below the annual average which is 18. One great earthquake (magntidue 8.0 and above)...
Earthquakes, January-February 1974
W. J. Person
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 18-19
During the first 2 months of 1974, earthquakes caused fatalities in Peru and Turkey. The largest earthquake during the period was a magnitude 7.2 shock in the New Hebrides Islands. A local tsunami was generated by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake in the Solomon Islands. The relative quiet that characterized world...
Residues of DDT in lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) and coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) from the Great Lakes
Robert E. Reinert, Harold L. Bergman
1974, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (31) 191-199
Concentrations of DDT residues were higher in lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) from southern Lake Michigan in 1966–70 (average 18.1 ppm in fish 558–684 mm long) than in lake trout of the same size-class from Lake Superior in 1968–69 (4.4 ppm), and higher in adult coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) from Lake Michigan in 1968–71...
Effect of temperature on accumulation of methylmercuric chloride and p,p'DDT by rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
Robert E. Reinert, Linda J. Stone, Wayne A. Willford
1974, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (31) 1649-1652
Amounts of mercury and DDT residues accumulated from water by yearling rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) in the laboratory increased as water temperature increased. Fish exposed to methylmercuric chloride at concentrations of 234–263 parts per trillion for 12 wk at 5, 10, and 15 C accumulated 1.19, 1.71, and 1.96 ppm; fish exposed to p,p′DDT...

Dieldrin and DDT: accumulation from water and food by lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) in the laboratory
Robert E. Reinert, Linda J. Stone, Harold L. Bergman
1974, Proceedings of the Conference on Great Lakes Research (17) 52-58
In the laboratory we measured the amounts of dieldrin and p,p'DDT accumulated by fish from contaminated water and food to determine how fish from Lake Michigan accumulate high concentrations of these insecticides from an environment where the concentrations in water are generally less than 0.01 ppb. Eight groups of yearling...

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...
Some helminth parasites of the American bald eagle
A.A. Kocan, L. N. Locke
1974, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (10) 8-10
Bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) found dead or moribund in the United States and Canada and submitted to Patuxent Wildlife Research Center were examined for helminth parasites. Nine genera of helminths were reported which include new host records for Clinostomum complanatum, Neogogatea pandionis, Centrorhynchus sp., Serratospiculum amaculata, Capillaria contorta, and Habronema americanum....

An attempt to age mallards using eye lens proteins
Charles J. Henny, J. Larry Ludke
1974, Journal of Wildlife Management (38) 138-141
An analysis of insoluble protein content of eye lenses from 59 known-age mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) indicated a slight increase between 8-9 months and 7 years of age. Nearly a complete overlapping of the insoluble protein content of individuals of different ages was apparent showing that the technique cannot be used...

Mineral resources of Du Noir Addition, Washakie Wilderness area, Fremont County, Wyoming
Harold J. Prostka, J.C. Antweiler, Carl L. Bieniewski, M. D. Kleinkopf
1974, Open-File Report 74-133
The Du Noir Addition to the Washakie Wilderness area consists of 34,200 acres (13,840 hectares) of scenic mountainous terrain that adjoins the Teton Wilderness and Washakie Wilderness areas. The area was studied in 1973 by the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Bureau of Mines to evaluate its mineral, fuel, and...
Invertebrate macrobenthos of Lake Oahe, 1968-69
William E. Jones, James H. Selgeby
1974, Technical Paper 73
The benthos in Lake Oahe, as determined from about 450 bottom samples collected during the open water season in 1968 and 1969, was dominated by oligochaetes and chironomids; Caenis (Ephemeroptera) and Chaoborus (Diptera) were occasionally abundant. Total benthos was estimated at 3,600 organisms/mA? with an ash-free dry weight of about...

An experimental trap net fishery, Lake Oahe, South Dakota, 1965
James A. Gabel
1974, Technical Paper 82
Large trap nets were evaluated as a commercial gear for capturing buffalo fish during July-September 1965. During the 72-day fishing period, 13,171 fish weighing 21,669 kg were taken. Bigmouth buffalo (Ictiobus cyprinellus) and smallmouth buffalo (Ictiobus bubalus) dominated the catch (78.2% by weight). Eight sport species accounted for 3.6% of...
