Factors Affecting Coho Salmon Production in Oregon - Scarnecchia, Dennis Leslie (Oregon State University, 1978)
In the first chapter, the author investigated whether it was possible to use scale analysis to tell whether or not a coho salmon was of wild or hatchery origin. It was. “Eighty-two percent of the hatchery and 89% of the wild fish were correctly identified.” (from the Abstract) The author discussed the ratio of wild to hatchery salmon found and proper scale analysis techniques. In the second chapter, the author addressed the relationship of streamflow and the abundance of coho salmon. “I found that for catch in the Siletz River and Tillamook Bay, and for the troll fishery, total flows in the stream during the period of residency of the juveniles correlated significantly with number of adults resulting from these smolts; annual flows also correlated significantly. There was no indication that summer flows determined production of adult fish 2 years later, except for a significant relationship for the Siletz River.” (p.68) Major professor was Harry H. Wagner.

Paleobotany and Stratigraphy of the Yaquina Flora (Latest Oligocene-Earliest Miocene) of Western Oregon - McClammer, James Upsher, Jr. (University of Maryland, 1978)
The Yaquina Formation was deposited in Western Oregon at the end of the Oligocene period and the beginning of the Miocene. There were three major depositional events, two in shallow marine environments, and one on land. The later deposits were formed on a delta of the ancestral Yaquina River, and provide a unique look at what life was like on land about 25 million years ago. Although there are a few animal fossils in this Middle Non-Marine Member, the overwhelming majority of fossils are of plants, and they are the subject of this most interesting Master’s thesis. The fossil record points to a major warming event at the time, and the author finds the Yaquina flora resembles “a marginally subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest” with abundant climbing vines (p.65).

Partial Purification and Characterization of Hemolysin from a Psychrotrophic Kanagawa Positive Marine Vibrio - Huggins, Susan Peters (Oregon State University, 1978)
Hundreds of Americans suffer from food poisoning from shellfish every year. Dozens die. This 1978 Master’s thesis investigates Vibrios from Yaquina Bay and is an example of the kind of pure research that has improved our understanding of these bacteria. “The object of this research was to isolate Kanagawa positive pyschrotrophic vibrios from a marine environment and partially purify a hemolysin to determine its chemical and physical characteristics. These characteristics would then be compared to known properties of exotoxin from V. parahaemolyticus.” (p.2) The author isolated 235 Vibrio strains from molluscs in Yaquina Bay, 11% of which were Kanagawa positive. The partially purified hemolysin was from a different species of Vibrio than Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

Summary Report on Releases of Laboratory Produced Clams - Gaumer, Thomas F.; Oregon. Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, (1978)
"In 1968 the Oregon Fish Commission (now Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife) initiated P.L. 88-309 funded studies to develop techniques to spawn and rear several species of bay clams. After our successful spawning and rearing studies, we planted the laboratory-produced juvenile clams on various tideflats of several estuaries to evaluate their growth and survival. . . This report summarizes the results of cur field work on Yaquina, Netarts, Tillamook, Alsea, Coos and Coquille estuaries."

The Effects of Temperature and Food Availability on Energy Partitioning and Growth in the Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg) - Malouf, Robert Edward (Oregon State University, 1977)
In this doctoral dissertation, the author contrasted experimental open and closed systems for culturing Pacific oysters. Raw Yaquina Bay water was pumped into the “open system.” Carbon and nitrogen-bearing particles were monitored for two years to indicate natural seasonal fluctuations in nutrients. This data was contrasted with experiments in a “closed system” that permitted control of water flow, water temperature, and food availability. The author discusses these experiments, an energy budget for the Pacific oyster, water temperature ranges for greatest growth, other factors affecting culture of this animal, and possible implications for research. Major professor was Charles E. Warren.

This report summarizes the status of recreational boating in Oregon circa 1975. The Willamette and Columbia Rivers were the most heavily used waterways in the state. Most pleasure boats were used for recreational fishing, with waterskiing and cruising as other major activities. The size of pleasure boats was increasing. Problems included overcrowding at boating facilities, a lack of law enforcement, and a need for more public restrooms.

Use of Benthic Sediments as Indicators of Marina Flushing - Noble, Scott Morgan (Oregon State University, 1976)
“This study is an attempt to unfold the important functions of small scale estuarine circulation patterns by using benthic sediments as indicators of marina flushing. Specifically, the research has tried to identify physical parameters that are influential in providing the flushing necessary to preserve a high state of water quality within small estuarine marina basins.” (from the Abstract) The author took sediment samples from 13 marinas along the Oregon coast, and used the sediments to show how well pollutants were being flushed out of the various estuaries. The author ranks the marinas to show which had acceptable and unacceptable levels of pollution. Masters of Ocean Engineering thesis. Major professor was Larry S. Slotta.

Incidence and Significance of Bacterial Chitinase in the Marine Environment - Goodrich, Thomas D. (Oregon State University, 1975)
Chitin is very important for fishes, making up most of their skeletons. This means that how chitin breaks down and is recycled in the marine environment is important. In this work, the ability of a marine bacterium to break down and, in effect, to recycle chitin was studied. The author also considers the availability of free chitinase available for uptake in the marine environment. This availability was studied in Yaquina Bay and in the Pacific Ocean. Major professor was Richard Y. Morita.

Shoreline Changes Due to Jetty Construction on the Oregon Coast - Lizarraga Arciniega, Jose Roman (Oregon State University, 1975)
This thesis was reprinted as ORESU-T no. 75-4 and is also available online through the NOAA Sea Grant Institutional Repository. Discusses accretion of sand due to jetties and physical settings conducive to erosion. The author developed a computer model to simulate shoreline changes after the construction of the Siuslaw River jetties. "The shoreline advances of the model agreed closely with the actual shoreline changes found in surveys following jetty construction." (from the Abstract) The major professor was Paul D. Komar.

This oral history gives a delightful look into early days on Yaquina Bay, especially of the oyster industry, in which the speaker’s father participated. Daily life and education are featured. Mrs. Updike was an early teacher in Lincoln County. The interview was originally tape-recorded as part of a journalism project at Oregon State University to commemorate the American bicentennial. While the tape has deteriorated, a transcript of the interview is available by contacting the University Library’s Special Collections and Archives department: http://scarc.library.oregonstate.edu/ .
