Response of Estuarine Diatom Assemblages to Ultraviolet-B Radiation (290-320 nm) - Brooker, D.L.; Worrest, R.C.; U.S.Environmental Protection Agency, (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1985)
"Artificial substrates colonized by diatoms from Yaquina Estuary, Oregon, were exposed to solar visible radiation and three levels of ultraviolet radiation (UV-B, 290-320 nm). . . The results indicated that daily exposure to enhanced levels of UV-B radiation was associated with a decrease in species diversity of benthic diatom assemblages during all experiments after four weeks of growth. However, changes in taxonomic structure were not accompanied by a significant depression in chlorophyll a concentration, biomass, or radiocarbon uptake. In fact, in some experiments enhanced levels of UV-B radiation appeared to have a stimulatory effect on the latter parameters." *from the Abstract)

Yaquina Bay, Oregon Comprehensive Sanitary Survey: May, 1984 and November-December, 1984 [Draft} - Furfari, Santo A. (1985)
Best available copy. In 1984, longstanding concerns about pollution in Yaquina Bay impelled the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to make a comprehensive sanitary survey of the Yaquina River, with particular emphasis on areas where oysters were grown. The report states that the oyster plots endured "sporadic poor water quality," and that "fecal coliform levels were substantially above national program criteria." The sources of pollution were concluded to be "point and nonpoint human, and nonpoint animal." “The Toledo sewage treatment plant does not have the reliability factors built into the plant that are designed to protect shellfish growing waters.” (p.ii-iv)

Orca visits are annual event - Anonymous (Oregon Wildlife, 1981)
Describes the annual spring visit to Yaquina Bay (generally in April) of transient killer whales. “Five Orcas entered Yaquina Bay in early April and were seen killing at least five sea lions before heading back out to sea. The group included one female over 20 feet long and weighing an estimated 20 tons.” While the whales were allowed to linger in the 1980s, this is no longer the case. Today, the Coast Guard escorts the killer whales out of the bay, in order to prevent harassment or a disastrous accident involving excited boaters.

Private Salmon Hatcheries in Oregon - T. Edwin Cummings; Oregon. Dept. of Fish and Wildlife. Fish Division, (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, 1981)
Describes private Chinook, chum and coho salmon hatcheries in Oregon in the early 1980s. Map, statistical tables. "As hatchery diets and rearing techniques improved in recent years, private citizens again became interested in propagating salmon. Research at 0regon State University (OSU)in hatching chum salmon using inexpensive streamside incubators increased public interest, and Oregon laws were enacted in l97l to allow salmon propagation by private citizens. This review of Oregon's private salmon industry includes information on experimental development by private operators, progress of permit holders, and current regulations governing private salmon hatchery operations in Oregon."
