Developmental instability in the Pacific Hake parasitized by the Myxosporean Kudoa spp. Developmental instability in the Pacific Hake parasitized by the Myxosporean Kudoa spp.
A morphometric study of the otoliths of a population of Pacific hake Merluccius productus was conducted to detect developmental instability (DI) related to parasitism by Myxosporeans, Kudoa spp. We report a link between parasitism and DI, which we measured as fluctuating asymmetry by comparing the right–left differences in otolith shape, width, and weight in the same fish. Otolith shape...

Index of predation on juvenile salmonids by northern squawfish in the lower and middle Columbia River and in the lower Snake River Index of predation on juvenile salmonids by northern squawfish in the lower and middle Columbia River and in the lower Snake River
We developed a predation index to describe the relative magnitude of predation on juvenile salmonids by northern squawfish Ptychocheilus oregonensis throughout the lower and middle Columbia River and lower Snake River. The predation index was the product of an abundance index and a consumption index. We evaluated various catch indices and found that catch per unit effort best reflected...

Prerelease disease treatment with potassium permanganate for Fall Chinook salmon smolts Prerelease disease treatment with potassium permanganate for Fall Chinook salmon smolts
Standard potassium permanganate treatment (2 mg KMnO4/L freshwater for 1 h on three consecutive days) was applied to presmolts (parr) and smolts of fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). Smoltification was determined by gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity. Treatments were conducted 73, 59, 45, 31, 16, and 2 d prior to full-strength seawater entry in aquaria. Potassium permanganate did...

Characterization of a rhabdovirus isolated from carpione Salmo trutta carpio in Italy Characterization of a rhabdovirus isolated from carpione Salmo trutta carpio in Italy
A virus, strain 583, was isolated from carpione Salmo trutta carpio fry exhibiting high mortality. The virus was not neutralized by rabbit antisera against the fish rhabdoviruses viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV), infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus, eel rhabdovirus European X, spring viraemia of carp virus or pike fry rhabdovirus, or against the birnavirus infectious...

Population viability of the Snake River chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Population viability of the Snake River chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)
In the presence of historical data, population viability models of intermediate complexity can be parameterized and utilized to project the consequences of various management actions for endangered species. A general stochastic population dynamics model with density feedback, age structure, and autocorrelated environmental fluctuations was constructed and parameterized for best fit over...
