Download or read book Biology of the Pile Perch Rhacochilus Vacca in Yaquina Bay Oregon written by Paul Gordon Wares and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growth, reproduction, food habits, and parasites of pile perch were investigated in Yaquina Bay, Oregon between April 1966 and July 1967. The research disclosed that pile perch live at least 10 years. Males and females of given ages are close to the same size up to age IV, after which females are increasingly larger than males. The diet varies between seasons and localities. Pile perch are carnivorous feeders, obtaining food from the bottom or protruding surfaces in the littoral zone. Principal foods are barnacles, mussels, the bay clams, crabs, mud shrimp and tube dwelling amphipod. None of the pile perch examined was heavily parasitized. Infestations of gill copepods vary seasonally.

Download or read book Biology of the Redtail Surfperch Amphistichus Rhodoterus from the Central Oregon Coast written by Donald E. Bennett and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data on certain aspects of the life history of the redtail surfperch were collected along the central coast of Oregon, from April 1967 through April 1969. Annulus formation occured during February through June, usually earlier in young than in older fish. Mating occurred from late December to early January, and the young were born from July through September. The number of embryos per female ranged from 1 to 39 (mean 13.3) and increased linearly with the length and weight of the females. Food of the fish from the surf zone included crustaceans (by far the most important group in both frequency of occurrence and total volume) and (in order of decreasing importance) fishes, mollusks, and polychaetes. Parasites of the redtail surfperch were immature nematodes (Anisakinae) ; the digenetic trematode Genitocotyle acirra; the monogenetic trematode, Diclidophora sp.; and the copepods, Caligus sp., Clavella sp., and Argulus catostomi.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stomachs of 1,064 alewives, 1,103 yellow perch, 246 spottail shiners, 288 trout-perch, 454 slimy sculpins, and 562 fourhorn sculpins from Lake Michigan were examined for food contents. Fish were sampled primarily from March to November and nearly all were caught at the bottom in the southeastern part of the lake near Saugatuck, Michigan. Pontoporeia was the most commonly reprented food item in the stomach contents of the fish examined, with immature midges, Mysis (a type of freshwater shrimp), copepods, cladocerans, fingernail clams and crayfish also being represented. Different species consumed different proportions of foods. Zooplankton was the principle food of alewives and spottail shiners, but was also consumed in small quantities by yellow perch and trout perch. Mysis was important to fourhorn sculpins, in addition to Pontoporeia. Immature midges were a major portion of spottail shiners and trout perch, also being consumed by alewives. Fish were often the most important food of yellow perch in the largest size category. Crayfish were a sizable portion of the diet of yellow perch on rocky bottoms, but sparingly on smooth bottoms. Spottail shiners also ate substantial numbers of fingernail clams.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abundance increased and was highest in the lower third of the reservoir while it was filling, whereas it decreased and was generally highest in the upper two-thirds of the reservoir after it was filled. Abundance of species produced in littoral areas was greater wwhile the reservoir was filling -- particularly in years when spring water levels covered vegetation, fluctuated little, and were maintained through May or longer -- than after the reservoir was filled.
