Effects of recreational clam harvesting on eelgrass (Zostera marina) and associated infaunal invertebrates: in situ manipulative experiments - Boese, Bruce L. (Aquatic Botany, 2002)
"The effect of recreational clam harvesting on eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) was experimentally tested by raking or digging for clams in experimental 1m2 plots located in a Yaquina Bay (Newport, OR) eelgrass meadow… Approximately 10% of the eelgrass of Yaquina Bay is subjected to recreational clamming and as this activity is generally less intense than that employed in this study, it is unlikely that recreational clamming has a major impact on eelgrass beds in the Yaquina estuary. This conclusion should be viewed with caution as multi-year disturbances were not investigated and there are differences in sediment characteristics and clam abundances between experimental sites and those sites that are intensively harvested by the public.” (from the Abstract)

Draft Oregon Coastal Juvenile Rockfish Study - Appy, Marcus; Collson, P. J. (Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife. Marine Resources Division. Estuarine Habitat, 2000)
This paper describes a pilot project to develop a recruitment index for rockfish. Rockfish bear live young in the winter. "The larvae live in the plankton for three to five months before settling to the benthos, usually near some sort of structure." Juvenile rockfish live in estuaries before migrating to the ocean. For this study, beach seines were conducted in the summer of 2000. Boiler Bay had the most rockfish, followed by Yaquiina Bay. Shiner perch were the most abundant juvenile fish (5610) in Yaquina Bay. Black rockfish were the most abundant rockfish (402), and some copper rockfish (18) were also caught.

Use of Tethered Prey for Estimating the Impact of the Invasive European Green Crab - Hauck, Laura L (Oregon State University, 2000)
Feeding methods can be hallmarks of different species. Crabs, for example, eat snails, but different crabs take different approaches for getting snail meat. The Dungeness crab uses its powerful claws to crush its prey, while the invasive European green crab was most likely to pull its prey from the shell. In this study, snails were epoxied to monofilament lines that were placed in various sampling sites around Coos and Yaquina bays. When the lines were pulled up, the fate of the snails was determined and scored according to the method of predation. The study showed a high (65-68%) rate of predation on gastropods at Yaquina Bay sites by the European green crab, which the author calls, “a red flag that should alert us to the potential impact of this voracious predator on native mollusks.” (p.46) Senior thesis for the Bachelor of Science in the Department of Biology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon.

Brant use of Yaquina Estuary, Lincoln county, Oregon in the Spring of 1976 - Wetzel, David J (Journal of Oregon Ornithology, 1996)
Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) distribution was monitored and eelgrass beds (Zostera marina) were mapped during the spring migration of 1976. Brant used eelgrass areas significantly, and human disturbance and tide height were important factors influencing Brant distribution and activity.

Censuses of black brant at Yaquina estuary, Lincoln County, Oregon - Bayer, Range D. (Journal of Oregon Ornithology, 1996)
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's, and usually fewer than 700 Brant were counted during spring migration.

Manila Clam Aquaculture in Shrimp-Infested Mudflats - Smith, Matt D. (Oregon State University, 1996)
The author found that it is possible to grow Manila clams on mud shrimp infested tidelands, provided the clams were grown in cages to protect them from predators. Additing a layer of oyster shell on top of the mudflats did make the substrate firmer, although it didn't seem to affect the overall survival of the clams. Clams grew more slowly than sites in Washington State. Chris Langdon was his major professor.

1994 Proposed Coastal Barrier Resources System Maps [cartographic resource] : State of Oregon - United States. Fish and Wildlife Service, (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 1, 1994)
Coastal barriers are landforms that protect mainlands and aquatic habitats against the worst effects of coastal storms. Coastal barriers include estuaries, inlets, marshes, wetlands and nearshore waters and can include islands, sandspits, sandbars and broad beaches. The protective value of these landforms can be degraded by development. In 1994, a proposal was made to expand the Coastal Barrier Resources System to include the West Coast of the United States. These maps were drafted to show areas that should be protected. The proposed expansion, however, did not take place. Nevertheless, the maps have value in showing what should not be developed.

Lipid class and glycogen content of the lugworm Abarenicola pacifica in relation to age, growth rate and reproductive condition - Taghon, Gary L.; Prahl, F. G.; Sparrow, M.; Fuller, C.M. (Marine Biology, 1994)
How do animals allocate food supplies? If food is abundant, do animals store food for future needs, or do they use the abundant supplies to facilitate reproduction? In this study, the authors studied lipids and glycogen in the Pacific lugworm for a year, in order to account for seasonal variability and reproductive cycles. They did not find seasonal variations, but the data showed that storage lipids, especially triacylglycerides, “were strongly elevated” when eggs were formed. “We doubt that A. pacifica is ever food-limited in Yaquina Bay. The biochemical composition and nutritive value of surface sediments in Yaquina Bay change little throughout the year…”(p.294)

Prevalence, Geographic Distribution, and Biology of a Dungeness Crab, Cancer magister, Microsporidian Parasite - Childers, Richard K. (Dept. of Fisheries and Wildlife, Fisheries Science, 1994)
Sampled Dungeness crabs at seven northwest estuaries and three sites in Puget Sound from October, 1991 through June, 1993 for presence of a microsporidian parasite, Nadelspora canceri. "The overall infection prevalence in male crabs (19.2%) was more than twice that of female crabs (8.0%), and of the 821 infected crabs found, 629 (76.6%) were males. The mortality of laboratory-held Dungeness crabs naturally infected with N. canceri was compared to that of uninfected crabs in two separate experiments and in both cases a significantly higher mortality was observed for infected crabs." (from the Abstract) Yaquina Bay had a low infection rate at 2.0%. Robert Olson was the major professor.

Late Quaternary Crustal Deformation on the Central Oregon Coast as Deduced from Uplifted Wave-Cut Platforms - Ticknor, Robert (Western Washington University, 1993)
This thesis examines marine terraces on the central Oregon Coast to see what they can tell us about uplift and deformation processes in the recent geologic past. “The primary purpose of this project is to study the characteristics, age, and distribution of uplifted marine terraces along 65 km of the central Oregon coast between Otter Rock and Searose beach. . . . Quaternary deformation of marine terraces is used to determine the rate and variability of uplift.” (p.1) Includes geologic maps.

Statewide Boating Survey, 1993 - Oregon. State Marine Board, (1993)
This is part of a longstanding series of publications (Pleasure boating in Oregon, Statewide boating survey, Oregon recreational boating survey) surveying recreational boating in Oregon and published every three years. It examines the type, extent and locality of recreational boating and identifies issues faced by boaters, from poor infrastructure to illegal practices (or, “jerks on the water”). The Colombia and Willamette Rivers were the most heavily used waterways, followed by the Pacific Ocean. Tillamook Bay was the most heavily-used estuary, followed by Alsea Bay.

Report of the Kumamoto brood stock workshop. January 24, 1992. Oregon State University. Portland, Oregon - Hedgecock, Dennis; Robinson, Anja M. (ORESU-W, 1992)
The Kumamoto oyster is closely related to the Pacific oyster, which was preferred by Japanese oyster growers. The Kumamoto oyster was virtually extinct in Japan, but could still be found on the U.S. West Coast. The purpose of the workshop was to develop advocacy and methods to preserve the Kumamoto oyster and its genetic diversity.
