Immunization of fishes: A review
S. F. Snieszko
1970, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (6) 24-30
Immune response in fishes, which are ectothermic animals, depends on temperature. The optimum response is at the optimum temperature for the species. It is, however, slower in coldwater fishes, such as salmonids, and faster in warmwater fishes.Serum of fishes contains proteins very similar, but not identical, with those of mammals....
Middle Miocene hiatus in volcanic activity in the Great Basin area of the Western United States
E.H. McKee, D. C. Noble, M.L. Silberman
1970, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (8) 93-96
A summary of potassium-argon dates shows that a high level of igneous activity in the Great Basin and adjacent regions during middle Tertiary time (40 to 20 my ago) was followed by a...

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...

Metamorphosis of the landlocked sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus
Patrick J. Manion, Thomas M. Stauffer
1970, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (27) 1735-1746
The external metamorphosis of the sea lamprey was divided into four stages, based primarily on the condition of the mouth: mouth reduced, mouth fused, mouth enclosed, and mouth elongated. During metamorphosis, the eye enlarged greatly, the snout and mouth region changed from a fleshy hood enclosing a sieve apparatus to...
Species interactions of the alewife in the Great Lakes
Stanford H. Smith
1970, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (99) 754-765
The alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) has caused serious problems in the Great Lakes for almost 100 years. It entered Lake Ontario in abundance via the Erie Canal during the 1860's when major piscivores were declining, and became the dominant species in the lake during the 1870's. The alewife subsequently spread throughout...
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...
Growth, age at metamorphosis, and sex ratio of northern brook lamprey in a tributary of southern Lake Superior
Harold A. Purvis
1970, Copeia (1970) 326-332
Growth was studied of five year classes of the northern brook lamprey, Ichthyomyzon fossor, collected from the Sturgeon River during intervals between treatment of the stream with a lampricide. Growth varied considerably among year classes. Larvae of the 1963 year class were slightly longer at age II and 30% longer...
Selected hydrologic data, Cache Valley, Utah and Idaho
L. J. McGreevy, L.J. Bjorklund
1970, Utah Basic-Data Release 21
This report presents selected basic data from a study of the ground-water resources of Cache Valley, Utah and Idaho. The study was made during 1967-69 by the u.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Rights, and with the assistance of the U.S....
Toxicity of 33 NCS to freshwater fish and sea lamprey
Leif L. Marking, Everett L. King, Charles R. Walker, John H. Howell
1970, Investigations in Fish Control 38
The chemical 33NCS (3'-chloro-3-nitrosalicylanilide) was evaluated as a fish control agent and as a larvicide for sea lampreys at the Fish Control Laboratories of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife and the Hammond Bay Biological Station of the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries. The chemical is rapidly toxic to many...

Stress of anesthesia with M.S. 222 and Benzocaine in Rainbow Trout (Salmo gairdneri)
Gary Wedemeyer
1970, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (27) 909-914
Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) anesthetized with M.S. 222 for periods up to 12 min experience interrenal ascorbate depletion, uremia, and moderate hypercholesterolemia. Anesthesia with neutralized M.S. 222 (pH 7) or benzocaine prevented these changes and significantly reduced the variability in plasma glucose, cholesterol, and cortisol, indicating that the stress of anesthesia...
Correction of bias in belt transect studies of immotile objects
David R. Anderson, R.S. Pospahala
1970, Journal of Wildlife Management (34) 141-146
Unless a correction is made, population estimates derived from a sample of belt transects will be biased if a fraction of, the individuals on the sample transects are not counted. An approach, useful for correcting this bias when sampling immotile populations using transects of a fixed width, is presented....
Use of microearthquakes in the study of the mechanics of earthquake generation along the San Andreas fault in central California
J. P. Eaton, W.H.K. Lee, L. C. Pakiser
1970, Tectonophysics (9) 259-282
A small, dense network of independently recording portable seismograph stations was used to delineate the slip surface associated with the 1966 Parkfield-Cholame earthquake by precise three dimensional mapping of the hypocenters of its aftershocks. The aftershocks were concentrated in a very narrow vertical zone beneath or immediately adjacent to the...
The diffusion of ions in unconsolidated sediments
F.T. Manheim
1970, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (9) 307-309
Diffusion in unconsolidated sediments generally proceeds at rates ranging from half to one twentieth of those applying to diffusion of ions and molecules in free solution. Diffusion rates are predictable with respect to porosity and path tortuosity in host sediments, and can be conveniently measured by determinations of electrical resistivity...
Lunar Maria and circular basins-a review
D.E. Stuart-Alexander, K. A. Howard
1970, Icarus (12) 440-456
Lunar Orbiter data make it possible to examine the distribution and relations of maria and large circular basins over the entire Moon. The restricted distribution and age of the maria are in marked contrast to the apparently random distribution in time and place of the circular basins, some of which...

John Wesley Powell: soldier, explorer, scientist
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1970, Report
One hundred years ago John Wesley Powell and nine adventure-seeking companions completed the first exploration of the dangerous and almost uncharted canyons of the Green and Colorado Rivers. By this trip, Powell, a 35-year old teacher of natural history, apparently unhampered by the lack of his right forearm (amputated after...
Surface coating effects in remote sensing measurements
Robert D. Watson
1970, Journal of Geophysical Research (75) 480-484
Measurements of the infrared spectra of a liquid-(water) coated quartz substrate and a solid-(pyrophyllite) coated quartzite are compared to theoretical values. Results demonstrate that in the case of the water-coated quartz, a loss in spectral contrast of the quartz emission occurs at the principal restrahlen wavelengths of 8.5, 9.0, and...
