Download or read book Predicting Year class Abundance of Yellowstone Lake Cutthroat Trout written by Ross V. Bulkley and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluctuations in strength of year classes from 1945 to 1956 of Yellowstone Lake cutthroat from Pelican and Chipmunk Creeks are compared with the parental stock and several climatically influenced factors of the environment. Variations in year-class strength in the two tributaries were highly correlated with fluctuations in lake water levels. Strong year classes occurred in yeas of low water. Female spawner escapement, timing of the runs, and summer air temperatures were not significant factors. A formula based on water levels is presented for predicting year-class strength in Pelican Creek and in the Fishing Bridge area fishery. Stocking of fry in years of high water is suggested as a means of supplementing natural production. A method of forecasting lake water levels several months in advance of their occurrence is discussed.
Download or read book Equilibrium Yield and Management of Cutthroat Trout in Yellowstone Lake written by Norman Gustaf Benson and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equilibrium yield of the cutthroat trout, Salmo clarki lewisi Girard, in Yellowstone Lake, Wyo., is determined from data on catch and spawning runs from 1945 to 1961. Changes in growth rate, spawning runs, mortality rates, and year-class strength are related to differences in total catch. Three stages of exploitation of the stock are defined and the maximum safe catch or equilibrium yield is estimated at 325,000 trout. Management of the sport fishery according to equilibrium yield is discussed with reference to regulations, distribution of fishing pressure, planting, and interspecific competition. The Yellowstone River fishery is treated briefly.

Download or read book Effects of Accumulated Excretory Products on Hatchery reared Salmonids written by Roger E. Burrows and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In experiments at the Bureau's Salmon-Cultural Laboratory, to determine the excretory products of significance in rearing ponds and the possible effect of these products on fingerling chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), the results demonstrated that ammonia and urea are the principal products. The relative amounts of these products vary with the concentration of fish and with their metabolic activity. Ammonia assumes dominance in an unfavorable environment. Water temperature, pH, and pond type affect the toxicity of ammonia solutions. Continuous exposure to levels of ammonia normally encountered in rearing ponds produced extensive hyperplasia of the gill epithelium in controlled experiments.
Download or read book A Device for Stamina Measurement of Fingerling Salmonids written by Allan E. Thomas and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stamina tunnel was developed to measure differences in physical performance of salmonid fingerlings. By subjecting fish samples to controlled patterns of water velocity, it has proved possible to demonstrate differences in fish stamina imparted by disease, nutrition, and environment.

Download or read book Food Habits of Striped Marlin and Sailfish Off Mexico and Southern California written by Douglas H. Evans and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stomach contents of 924 striped marlin landed in the sport catches at Mazatlan, Sinaloa, and Buena Vista, Baja California, Sur, Mexico, and San Diego, California, and of 197 sailfish from Mazatlan and Buena Vista were examined. The striped marlin and sailfish fed primarily on pelagic fishes and cephalopods. By volume the major foods were squid (principally Dosidicus gigas) for striped marlin at Mazatlan and for striped marlin and sailfish at Buena Vista, northern anchovy for striped marlin at San Diego, and threadfin for sailfish at Mazatlan. Locally differences in food habits were pronounced, and some seasonal and yearly differences were found.
Download or read book Review of Fishery Studies on Missouri River Main Stem Reservoirs written by Norman Gustaf Benson and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The six main stem Missouri River reservoirs are described, and information available through 1964 on plankton, water chemistry, fish populations, and water management is discussed. At maximum pool, these reservoirs have a capacity of 76 million acre-feet and a surface area of 1.2 million acres. Each of the upper reservoirs is larger in capacity and area than the sum of the lower three reservoirs. Fishes common in this system are bigmouth buffalo, carp, river carpsucker, yellow perch, goldeye, northern pike, sauger, walleye, white crappie, black crappie, and freshwater drum. Available information on growth rates, year-class strength, and relative abundance of common species is described. Limiting factors of the environments are the turbidities, wind, and fine soils. Research needs and problems relative to fish production are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume was created to provide a source of information on design, construction, and operation of experimental aquarium facilities. The idea developed out of the editors largely unsuccessful search for published material on sea-water supply systems while planning the facilities for the Sandy Hook Marine Laboratory. The result is compiled volume of papers contributed by a number of aquarists who descibed their experiences in solving problems encountered in designing, constructing and maintaining systerms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A limnological oxidation technique, based on procedures employed in soil chemistry, was developed and tested by use of purified organic compounds and various natural substrates. A sample is oxidized by dichromate in a strongly acid medium maintained at 100 C. The amount of dichromate reacting (determined titrimetrically as the difference between the initial and final quantities) is reckoned as Oxygen Consumed, or weigh of oxygen required by the sample. The oxidation serves as the principal step for sensitive determinations of organic carbon (as CO2) and nitrogen (as NH3).
Download or read book Fluctuations in Age Composition and Growth Rate of Cutthroat Trout in Yellowstone Lake written by Ross V. Bulkley and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Age composition, growth rate, and year-class strength of Yellowstone Lake cutthroat trout from collections made in 1948 and from 1950 to 1959 are analyzed to relate total catch changes in age composition and growth rate. An increase in growth rate of fish fully recruited to the fishery and a decrease in percentages of fish belonging to age groups VI and VII are attributed to an increase in fishing pressure. Mean age of the catch varied with year-length of the catch has remained high, suggesting that production is more efficient now than in past years. Maximum equilibrium yield may be near. If the catch continues to increase at the present rate, it may become excessive within the next few years.
