Migratory behavior and forebay delay of radio-tagged juvenile fall chinook salmon in a lower snake river impoundment Migratory behavior and forebay delay of radio-tagged juvenile fall chinook salmon in a lower snake river impoundment

During July and August 1995-1997, we used radiotelemetry to estimate the migration rate of 405 juvenile fall chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (mean fork length, 138-144 mm) through Little Goose Reservoir. Migration rates decreased significantly as fish approached the dam. Median migration rates in 1995 were 26.0 km/d through the 45.9-km reach immediately below Lower Granite Dam...

Reproductive longevity and fecundity associated with nonannual spawning in cui-ui Reproductive longevity and fecundity associated with nonannual spawning in cui-ui

The cui-ui Chasmistes cujus, a long-lived (40 years or more) and highly fecund catostomid, is often prevented from spawning in drought years. We studied the effect of cui-ui age on egg viability and the effect of nonannual spawning on fecundity in relation to length, age, and growth rate. Egg hatching and survival of swim-up larvae were examined for the offspring of first-time spawners

Fungi from geothermal soils in Yellowstone National Park Fungi from geothermal soils in Yellowstone National Park

Geothermal soils near Amphitheater Springs in Yellowstone National Park were characterized by high temperatures (up to 70°C), high heavy metal content, low pH values (down to pH 2.7), sparse vegetation, and limited organic carbon. From these soils we cultured 16 fungal species. Two of these species were thermophilic, and six were thermotolerant. We cultured only three of these species...

Shedding of Renibacterium salmoninarum by infected chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tschawytscha Shedding of Renibacterium salmoninarum by infected chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tschawytscha

Laboratory studies of the transmission and pathogenesis of Renibacterium salmoninarum may describe more accurately what is occurring in the natural environment if test fish are infected by waterborne R. salmoninarum shed from infected fish. To quantify bacterial shedding by chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tschawytscha at 13??C in freshwater, groups of fish were injected intraperitoneally...
