	title = {Juvenile Rockfish (<i>Sebastes</i> spp.) Community Composition and Habitat use of Yaquina Bay, Oregon},
	year = {2016},
	note = {Estuaries offer important habitats for many species of fish.  Rockfish are among the fishes that use estuaries as nurseries for their young.  In recent years, most West Coast estuaries have undergone extensive development.  How has human-caused environmental change affected fish habitats?  In this thesis, the author explored Yaquina Bay to determine what species of rockfish were in Yaquina Bay, studied how rockfish abundance changed with the seasons, and contrasted the use of natural habitat (eelgrass beds) with anthropogenic habitat (piers).  Several previously undocumented species of rockfish were found to use the bay, and patterns of juvenile rockfish use of the estuary are shown.  Valuable new information on important species is presented.  Major professor was Scott Heppell.},

	year = {1996},
	note = {Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) had two different seasonal patterns of occurrence at Yaquina Estuary. At embayment areas with eelgrass (Zostera marina), Brant typically arrived between October 22 and November 4, Brant numbers progressively climbed in November, Brant abundance in December-January was relatively constant, and Brant numbers often fluctuated greatly during spring migration in February-April. At a site near the estuary mouth where there was little eelgrass, Brant customarily only appeared during spring migration. About 300-500 Brant wintered at the Yaquina in the 1980{\textquoteright}s, and usually fewer than 700 Brant were counted during spring migration.},
