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...

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...

Laboratory experiments duplicate conditions in the Earth’s crust
L. Peselnick, James H. Dieterich, R.M. Stewart
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 10-15
An experimental device that simulates conditions in the Earth's crust at depths of up to 30 kilometers has been constructed by geophysicists working at the U.S Geological Survey laboratories in Menlo Park, California. A high pressure "bomb" is being used to experimentally measure the velocity of seismic waves in different...
The California geodimeter network; measuring movement along the San Andreas Fault
J.C. Savage
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 3-7
Following the great California earthquake of 1906 H. F. Reid, a contemporary seismologist, proposed the elastic rebound theory which in effect says that earthquake potential arises from the accumulation of elastic strain within the Earth's crust, just as the stretching of a rubberband creates the potential for violent rebound upon...
New seismic study begins in Puerto Rico
Arthur C. Tarr
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 23-26
A new seismological project is now underway in Puerto Rico to provide information needed for accurate assessment of the island's seismic hazard. The project should also help to increase understanding of the tectonics and geologic evolution of the Caribbean region. The Puerto Rico Seismic Program is being conducted by the...
Earthquake prediction; new studies yield promising results
R. Robinson
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 14-17
On Agust 3, 1973, a small earthquake (magnitude 2.5) occurred near Blue Mountain Lake in the Adirondack region of northern New York State. This seemingly unimportant event was of great significance, however, because it was predicted. Seismologsits at the Lamont-Doherty geologcal Observatory of Columbia University accurately foretold the time, place,...
Seismicity and earthquake hazards of the Wasatch Front, Utah
H. Spall
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 12-17
The impressive topographic break at the base of the Wasatch Range immediately east of Salt Lake City, Utah, marks the location where Mormon colonizer Brigham Young said in 1847. "This is the place" Actually, "the place" is termed the Wasatch Front because the Wasatch Range to the east, which rises...
Searching for prehistoric earthquakes in lake sediments
J. Sims
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 3-9
How often do major earthquakes occur? Do they follow regular patterns of recurrence, and if so, what is the length of the recurrence interval? These questions are of obvious importance to populations located in regions where earthquakes are a commonplace occurrence. They are also relevant questions in regions that are...

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...
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...
PCB's and p,p'DDE in the blood of cachectic patients

The pheasant, in its North American range, seems to have had its greatest success in glaciated or in other areas associated with calcareous soils. Success has been slight in areas deficient in calcium.....In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, no environmental difference other than presence or absence of limestone was discovered that might...

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...
The Mississippi Valley earthquakes of 1811 and 1812
O.W. Nuttli
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 8-13
Shortly after 2 o'clock on the morning of December 16, 1811, the Mississippi River valley was convulsed by an earthquake so severe that it awakened people in cities as distant as Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Norfolk, Virginia. This shock inaugurated what must have been the most frightening sequence of earthquakes ever...

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...
