Age And Growth Of White Bass, Roccus Chrysops (Rafinesque), In Mud Lake, Near Provo, Utah, Frederick Edward Trapnell
Age And Growth Of White Bass, Roccus Chrysops (Rafinesque), In Mud Lake, Near Provo, Utah, Frederick Edward Trapnell
Theses and Dissertations
This study was conducted to obtain information that could be used in the management of the Utah and Mud lake white bass fishery. It also provides data for evaluating the effect of the loss of Mud Lake on the white bass utilizing it. Determination of age, growth rate, and coefficient of condition of the Mud lake white bass were objectives in this study. The occurrence of organisms in the digestive tracts of 64 white bass as well as the movement of white bass into and out of Mud Lake were also studied. Hoop nets, a continuous mesh gill net, and …
Inhibition Of Asexual Reproduction In Planaria, Lewis Hafen Leavitt
Inhibition Of Asexual Reproduction In Planaria, Lewis Hafen Leavitt
Theses and Dissertations
Asexual reproduction in the decapitated planaria, Dugesia dorotocephala, is inhibited by an extract of homogenized heads of the same or closely-related species. Decapitated planaria allowed to regenerate have reproduced asexually over 80% of the time, while those that have been cultured in a suspension of head homogenate have had asexual reproduction inhibited to less than 10%. The substance that inhibits asexual reproduction is heat labile. It requires a concentration of 2.0 heads/ml that contains .13 mg protein/ml to effectively inhibit asexual reproduction. A similar concentration of head homogenate from the related planaria, Dugesia tigrina, also contains the inhibitory substance. Head …
Social Structure Of Small Mammal Populations At The National Reactor Testing Station, Idaho, R. Lynn Speth
Social Structure Of Small Mammal Populations At The National Reactor Testing Station, Idaho, R. Lynn Speth
Theses and Dissertations
This investigation examined the social structure of four species of small mammals (Perognathus parvus (Peale), Reithrodontomys megalotis (Baird), Peromyscus maniculatus (Wagner), and Dipodomys ordi (Woodhouse) at the National Reactor Testing Station (NRTS) in Idaho. An understanding of the social structure provides ecological clues concerning the integration of interactions, reproduction, distributions, densities, and diel activities for not only one animal and species, but for a complex of animals interacting with each other.
The Fisheries Of Deer Creek Reservoir, Utah, With Special Emphasis On The Yellow Perch (Perca Flavescens Mitchill), Gale R. Lewellen
The Fisheries Of Deer Creek Reservoir, Utah, With Special Emphasis On The Yellow Perch (Perca Flavescens Mitchill), Gale R. Lewellen
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis is concerned with the fisheries of Deer Creek Reservoir, Wasatch County, Utah, with special emphasis on the yellow perch. The study period was from May 13 to November 24, 1968. Objectives included the determination of size, age, and food habits of the yellow perch. Parasitic occurrences in the perch population by Ligula intestinalis were also recorded as well as the utilization of the perch by the fishermen. Observations on other species of fish including an analysis of rainbow trout stocking programs were also objectives of this thesis. Data was gathered by means of creel census and fish collection …
