Not all publications have extents, not all extents are completely accurate
The use of soils and paleosols for interpreting geomorphic and climatic history of arid regions
John Miller, Luna Bergere Leopold
1953, Research Council of Israel Special Publication 2
The study of modern surface soils, and ancient weathering zones, which occur either buried or as surface relicts, has contributed materially to understanding the complex events of the glacial and post-glacial period both in glaciated areas and in regions not influenced by glaciation. Most work of this kind in the...
River meanders and vorticity theorem
Luna Bergere Leopold
1953, Eos, Earth and Space Science News (34) 955-959
The serpentine windings of rivers, which in certain reaches attain a remarkable symmetry and are then called meanders, must represent one aspect of the tendency for establishment of quasi-equilibrium in natural streams. With the increase in knowledge of the interaction of forces operating in rivers, this tendency toward equilibrium has...
War on lampreys
James W. Moffett
1953, Philadelphia Enquirer, 23 August 1953 16-17
Vampire-like sea lampreys look somewhat like short sections of garden hose, swim like eels, and live solely on the blood of fishes. Their voracious appetites have been especially harmful to fish in the Great Lakes, and it is there that methods of underwater electrocution are being applied in their...
The movement of tagged lake trout in Lake Superior, 1950-52
Paul H. Eschmeyer, Russell Daly, Leo F. Erkkila
1953, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (82) 68-77
A total of 733 native lake trout was tagged at two widely separated localities in Lake Superior; subsequent recaptures numbered 155 fish (21.1 percent) during the year following marking. In October 1950, 116 large lake trout (average total length, 27.3 inches) were tagged near Keweenaw Point, Michigan. Fifteen...
Abbreviations used in publications of the United States Geological Survey
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1953, Report
The use of abbreviations in publications of the Geological Survey is determined by several forces working in different directions. Pulling in the direction of greater condensation and the freer use of abbreviations and symbols is the desire to achieve greater economy in publications. Working in the opposite direction is the...
Technique for the application of a streamer-type fish tag
Leonard S. Joeris
1953, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (82) 42-47
Principal features of the technique are: attachment of the plastic tag by means of a nylon-thread loop prepared in advance of field work; use of a curved surgical needle with cutting edge and a split eye for application of the tag. The procedures for splitting the needle's eye and for...
Perch studies in Green Bay
Ralph Hile
1953, Progressive Fish-Culturist (15) 133-134
For years the commercial fishermen of southern Green Bay contended that the minimum length of 8 inches for yellow perch in that are should be reduced because (1) the perch population was stunted, incapable of reaching the size of 8 inches in any numbers, and (2) the larger perch tended...
The effect of ether anesthesia on fin-clipping rate
Paul H. Eschmeyer
1953, Progressive Fish-Culturist (15) 80-82
As part of an experimental program to learn the effects of stocking lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) in Lake Superior, 141, 392 fingerlings were marked at the Charlevoix (Michigan) Station of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in October 1952. The adipose fin was removed from all fish, the right pelvic...
A modification in the technique of computing average lengths from the scales of fishes
John Van Oosten
1953, Progressive Fish-Culturist (15) 85-86
In virtually all the studies that employ scales, otollths, or bony structures to obtain the growth history of fishes, it has been the custom to compute lengths for each individual fish and from these data obtain the average growth rates for any particular group. This method involves a considerable amount...
Fluctuations in the fisheries of State of Michigan waters of Green Bay
Ralph Hile, George F. Lunger, Howard J. Buettner
1953, Fishery Bulletin of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (54) 1-34
Green Bay, traditionally a major center of production, has assumed in recent years a position of overwhelming dominance in the commercial fisheries of the State of Michigan waters of Lake Michigan. Within the 4-year period 1945-1948 the commercial take in State of Michigan waters of Green Bay increased from 3,317,000...
Trout fishing in Michigan waters of Lake Superior, 1952
Ralph Hile
1953, The Fisherman (21) 7, 11-12, 14
This article has been prepared to present the results of recently completed statistical studies on the fishery in the State of Michigan waters of the lake. The tabulations of production of lake trout and the estimates of levels of fishing pressure and abundance in the various statistical districts have...
Movement of tagged lake trout in Lake Superior, 1950-1952
Paul H. Eschmeyer, Russell Daly, Leo F. Erkkila
1953, The Fisherman (21) 4, 11
A total of 733 native lake trout was tagged at two widely separated localities in Lake Superior; subsequent recaptures numbered 155 fish (21.1 percent) during the year following marking. In October 1950, 116 large lake trout (average total length, 27.3 inches) were tagged near Keweenaw Point, Michigan. Fifteen...
Movement of parasitic-phase sea lampreys in Lakes Huron and Michigan
Bernard R. Smith, Oliver R. Elliott
1953, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (82) 123-128
A program of tagging was carrie dout in the waters of northern Lake Huron during the fall and winter of 1951-52 in order to supplement the small amount of information available on movement of sea lampreys during their parasitic phase. A total of 219 parasitic-phase sea lampreys were tagged and...
