Relationships between metabolic rate, muscle electromyograms and swim performance of adult chinook salmon Relationships between metabolic rate, muscle electromyograms and swim performance of adult chinook salmon

Oxygen consumption rates of adult spring chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha increased with swim speed and, depending on temperature and fish mass, ranged from 609 mg O2 h-1 at 30 cm s-1 (c. 0.5 BLs-1) to 3347 mg O2 h-1 at 170 cm s -1 (c. 2.3 BLs-1). Corrected for fish mass, these values ranged from 122 to 670 mg O2 kg-1 h-1, and were similar to other Oncorhynchus species. At all...

Epizootiology and histopathology of Parvicapsula sp. in coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch Epizootiology and histopathology of Parvicapsula sp. in coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch

The epizootiology and histopathology of the myxosporean Parvicapsula sp. was studied during monthly health surveys of 4 groups of coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch at a commercial farm in Puget Sound, Washington, USA, from 1984 to 1986. No Parvicapsula sp. was detected in histological samples taken from juvenile fish in fresh water, but the parasite was detected in fish from all groups 2...

Developmental instability: measures of resistance and resilience using pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) Developmental instability: measures of resistance and resilience using pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.)

Fluctuating asymmetry measures random deviations from bilateral symmetry, and thus estimates developmental instability, the loss of ability by an organism to regulate its development. There have been few rigorous tests of this proposition. Regulation of bilateral symmetry must involve either feedback between the sides or independent regulation toward a symmetric set point. Either kind of

Susceptibility of zebrafish (Danio rerio) to a model pathogen, spring viremia of carp virus Susceptibility of zebrafish (Danio rerio) to a model pathogen, spring viremia of carp virus

To improve our understanding of the genetic basis of fish disease, we developed a pathogen model, using zebrafish (Danio rerio) and spring virema of carp virus (SVCV). Replicate groups of 10 fish were acclimated to 20 or 24°C, then were exposed to SVCV concentrations of 103 to 105 plaque-forming units per milliliter (PFU/ml) of water and observed daily. In a second trial, fish were...

Conditions for growth and survival of bull trout in Beulah Reservoir, Oregon. Annual report 2001 Conditions for growth and survival of bull trout in Beulah Reservoir, Oregon. Annual report 2001

The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) constructed Agency Valley Dam on the North Fork of the Malheur River in 1934-35, creating Beulah Reservoir. The project is operated and maintained by the Vale Irrigation District for irrigation and downstream flood control, with no minimum pool or outflow operational criteria. Although the project is not operated for fish and wildlife values, the reservoir...
