Resident fish assemblages in shallow shorelines of a Columbia River impoundment Resident fish assemblages in shallow shorelines of a Columbia River impoundment

During May-September 1995, we replicated an earlier (1984-85) study of fishes in shoreline habitats of the John Day Reservoir, Columbia River, to investigate fish assemblage structure at several spatial and temporal scales. A total of 37,400 resident fishes representing 24 taxa was collected in 359 beach seine hauls. Fish catch composition during 1984 and 1985 was very similar, but was...

Optimization of nested polymerase chain reaction assays for identification of Aeromonas salmonicida, Yersinia ruckeri and Flavobacterium psychrophilum Optimization of nested polymerase chain reaction assays for identification of Aeromonas salmonicida, Yersinia ruckeri and Flavobacterium psychrophilum

Nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays were developed using first-round primers complementary to highly conserved regions within the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene (universal eubacterial primers) and second-round primers specific for sequences within the 16S rRNA genes of Aeromonas salmonicida, Yersinia ruckeri, andFlavobacterium psychrophilum. Following optimization of...

Biography of Dr. John L. Fryer Biography of Dr. John L. Fryer

There is probably no one in the fish health community who does not recognize the name of Professor John L. Fryer. Active in research for a period of more than 40 years, Dr Fryer has achieved international acclaim for his work on infectious diseases of Pacific salmon. The research from his laboratory at Oregon State University (OSU) has spanned the disciplines of virology, parasitology

Spatial organization of desert tortoises and their burrows at a landscape scale Spatial organization of desert tortoises and their burrows at a landscape scale

We thoroughly surveyed two 9 km 2 study plots using 624 km of transect lines in the south- central Mojave Desert, California, mapping with a precision global positioning system the location of desert tortoises (Gopherus agassizii) and their burrows. We found 98 desert tortoises and 1463 tortoise burrows. Three separate geospatial methods (quadrat-variance, nearest neighbor, and 3...
