Faces from the past: Frederic Morton Chamberlain (1867-1921), pioneer fishery biologist of the American West Faces from the past: Frederic Morton Chamberlain (1867-1921), pioneer fishery biologist of the American West

The life of Frederic Morton Chamberlain (1867–1921) was marked by his many contributions to fishery science. As an assistant with the old U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, he pioneered life history studies of salmon in California and Alaska, and assisted in the collection of hundreds of thousands of natural history specimens from the Pacific Ocean as resident naturalist on the U.S.S.

Diel and seasonal changes of dissolved oxygen an pH in relation to community metabolism of a shallow reservoir in southeast Missouri Diel and seasonal changes of dissolved oxygen an pH in relation to community metabolism of a shallow reservoir in southeast Missouri

Diel changes of dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH were measured during 1981–1982 in Pool 1, a shallow reservoir in southeast Missouri. Diel changes in spring and fall were about half those of summer when extensive macrophyte biomass apparently had a strong influence on dynamics of DO and pH. During summer, daily pulses averaged 5.45 mg/L DO and 0.88 pH units, and extreme diel changes were 10...
