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...

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...
Analysis of mixed-layer clay mineral structures
W. F. Bradley
1953, Conference Paper, Analytical Chemistry
Among the enormously abundant natural occurrences of clay minerals, many examples are encountered in which no single specific crystallization scheme extends through a single ultimate grain. The characterization of such assemblages becomes an analysis of the distribution of matter within such grains, rather than the simple identification of mineral species....
Interpreting geologic maps for engineering purposes: Hollidaysburg quadrangle, Pennsylvania
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1953, Report
This set of maps has been prepared to show the kinds of information, useful to engineers, that can be derived from ordinary geologic maps. A few additional bits of information, drawn from other sources, are mentioned below. Some of the uses of such maps are well known; they are indispensable...

Lake Bonneville: Geology of northern Utah Valley, Utah
C. B. Hunt, H.D. Varnes, H. E. Thomas
1953, Professional Paper 257-A
Lake Bonneville was a vast Pleistocene lake that covered 20,000 square miles in northwestern Utah and had a maximum depth of about 1,000 feet. It was a body of water comparable in size to modern Lake Michigan.Surveys of the unconsolidated deposits in the Lake Bonneville basin utilize the same methods...

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...
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...
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...
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...
Relation of suspended-sediment concentration to channel scour and fill
Luna Bergere Leopold, Thomas Maddock Jr.
1953, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the fifth Hydraulics Conference, June 9-11, 1952, arranged by the Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research
It is known that during the passage of a flood the channel of an alluvial stream scours and fills with considerable rapidity. Though such changes may be random, it seems more likely that there is a definite pattern of channel change directly related both to discharge and to the sediment...
Downstream change of velocity in rivers
Luna Bergere Leopold
1953, American Journal of Science (251) 606-624
Because river slope generally decreases in a downstream direction, it is generally supposed that velocity of flow also decreases downstream. Analysis of some of the large number of velocity measurements made at stream-gaging stations demonstrates that mean velocity generally tends to increase downstream. Although there are many reaches in nearly...
Ground-water conditions in artesian aquifers in Brown County, Wisconsin
William James Drescher
1953, Water Supply Paper 1190
The principal water-bearing rocks underlying Brown County, Wis., are thick sandstone units of Cambrian and Ordovician age. Other aquifers include limestone and dolomite of Ordovician age, dolomite of Silurian age, and sands and gravel of Pleistocene and Recent age. Underlying the water-bearing formations are crystalline rocks of pre-Cambrian age which...

An interim report on gill disease
R.R. Rucker, H.E. Johnson, G.M. Kaydas
1952, Progressive Fish-Culturist (14) 10-14
GILL DISEASE among fish, a disease which is characterized by a proliferation of the gill epithelium, has been attributed to a number of different causes. Generally, there are two recognized types: the eastern or bacterial type, in which long filamentous bacteria can always be demonstrated; and the western type, in...
