Environmental features and macrofauna of Kahana Estuary, Oahu, Hawaii Environmental features and macrofauna of Kahana Estuary, Oahu, Hawaii
Lack of ecological information on Hawaiian estuaries prompted an intensive 2-year study of a small (5.7 ha) stream-mouth estuary on windward Oahu. Water quality and macrofauna were sampled weekly at seven stations. The water mass was strongly stratified vertically except during freshets. Average values for water column temperature and bottom salinity were 23.2°C and 12‰ at the head to 28...

Mortality of seabirds in high-seas salmon gillnets Mortality of seabirds in high-seas salmon gillnets
Since 1952, the Japanese have operated a large salmon driftnet fishery in the northern North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea. This fishery is divided into two components: the high-seas mothership fleet, which consists of several processing ships and their numerous, smaller catcher boats that remain at sea during the entire fishing season, and the land-based fleet, which consists of...

Populations, feeding ecology and molt of Steller's Eiders Populations, feeding ecology and molt of Steller's Eiders
This study considers the temporal and spatial distribution of Steller's Eiders (Polysticta stelleri) during molt along the north side of the Alaska Peninsula from Port Heiden to Bechevin Bay. Subadult eiders molted primarily at Nelson Lagoon, adult males at Nelson Lagoon and Izembek Bay, and adult females primarily at Izembek Bay. Only a few eiders used Bechevin Bay, Seal Islands, and...

Strains of infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) virus may be identified by structural protein differences Strains of infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) virus may be identified by structural protein differences
The development of an effective vaccine to infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) in fish requires a knowledge of the virus serotypes in nature. At least two serotypes were found among three IHNV strains (12). Attempts in our laboratory to extend this study with additional virus strains by classical immunological techniques were unsatisfactory. Thus, we sought another method for...

Thermal inactivation of infectious hematopoietic necrosis and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus Thermal inactivation of infectious hematopoietic necrosis and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus
A plaque assay was used to follow the inactivation kinetics of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus in cell culture media at various temperatures. Inactivation of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus in a visceral organ slurry was compared with that in culture media.
