Differences in detection of Aeromonas salmonicida in covertly infected salmonid fishes by the stress-inducible furunculosis test and culture-based assays Differences in detection of Aeromonas salmonicida in covertly infected salmonid fishes by the stress-inducible furunculosis test and culture-based assays
Accurate detection of Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida (the cause of furunculosis disease) in covertly infected salmonids is difficult and is a cause of concern for those involved in fish health inspection and resource management programs. In this study, we examined populations of brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis, Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, and lake trout Salvelinus namaycush...

A science-based, watershed strategy to support effective remediation of abandoned mine lands A science-based, watershed strategy to support effective remediation of abandoned mine lands
A U.S. Geological Survey Abandoned Mine Lands Initiative will develop a strategy for gathering and communicating the scientific information needed to formulate effective and cost-efficient remediation of abandoned mine lands. A watershed approach will identify, characterize, and remediate contaminated sites that have the most profound effect on water and ecosystem quality within a...

The name of Lawrence's flycatcher The name of Lawrence's flycatcher
If Lawrence's flycatcher of Grenada, Trinidad, and northern South America is placed in the genus Lathrotriccus with the species euleri, it should be L. flaviventris (Lawrence) or L. euleriflaviventris, depending on rank. If it remains in the genus Empidonax, the specific name should be bolivianus Allen.

Modified level II streambed-scour analysis for structure I-465-131-5256 crossing Williams Creek in Hamilton County, Indiana Modified level II streambed-scour analysis for structure I-465-131-5256 crossing Williams Creek in Hamilton County, Indiana
Level II scour evaluations follow a process in which hydrologic, hydraulic, and sediment transport data are evaluated to calculate the depth of scour that may result when a given discharge is routed through a bridge opening. The results of the modified Level II analysis for structure 1-465-131-5256 on Interstate 465 crossing Williams Creek in Hamilton County, Indiana, are presented. The...

Characterization of fill deposits in the Calumet region of northwestern Indiana and northeastern Illinois Characterization of fill deposits in the Calumet region of northwestern Indiana and northeastern Illinois
In October 1993, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, began a study of the fill deposits in the Calumet region of northwestern Indiana and northeastern Illinois. Fill in this area is a mixture of steel-industry wastes, other industrial waste, municipal solid waste, dredging spoil, construction debris, ash, cinders, natural materials...
