  • A Bibliography of Klamath Mountains Geology, California and Oregon
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY A bibliography of Klamath Mountains geology, California and Oregon, listing authors from Aalto to Zucca for the years 1849 to mid-1995 Compiled by William P. Irwin Menlo Park, California Open-File Report 95-558 1995 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards (or with the North American Stratigraphic Code). Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. PREFACE This bibliography of Klamath Mountains geology was begun, although not in a systematic or comprehensive way, when, in 1953, I was assigned the task of preparing a report on the geology and mineral resources of the drainage basins of the Trinity, Klamath, and Eel Rivers in northwestern California. During the following 40 or more years, I maintained an active interest in the Klamath Mountains region and continued to collect bibliographic references to the various reports and maps of Klamath geology that came to my attention. When I retired in 1989 and became a Geologist Emeritus with the Geological Survey, I had a large amount of bibliographic material in my files. Believing that a comprehensive bibliography of a region is a valuable research tool, I have expended substantial effort to make this bibliography of the Klamath Mountains as complete as is reasonably feasible. My aim was to include all published reports and maps that pertain primarily to the Klamath Mountains, as well as all pertinent doctoral and master's theses.

This data is entered into a national database and is accessible to the public and resource managers, via the web, and can be viewed at: http://wildfishsurvey.fws.gov/ or http://www.esg.montana.edu/nfhdb/ Kimberly True, Assistant Project Leader Lyn Rosten, Biological Science Technician Eric Wiseman, Fishery Biologist Ken Nichols, Fishery Biologist Scott Foott, Project leader Ron Stone, Fishery Biologist Also assisted with field collections and lab work. 2 Abstract The National Wild Fish Survey (NWFHS), conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Fish Health Centers, assesses the prevalence and distribution of major fish pathogens in wild fish populations. In 2004-2005, the California-Nevada Fish Health Center (Ca-Nv FHC) focused on disease monitoring in the upper Klamath River basin. Pathogens associated with diseased fish in the Klamath River include bacteria (Flavobacterium columnare and motile aeromonad bacteria), digenetic trematode (presumptive Nanophyetus salmincola) and myxozoan parasites (Parvicapsula minibicornis and Ceratomyxa shasta). The incidence of two parasites Ceratomyxa shasta and Parvicapsula minibicornis in juvenile chinook salmon is of special concern. Another focus in 2004-2005 was done in collaboration with Nevada Division of Wildlife’s regional biologists.

Please note that data collection methods change over time, so assessment of trends may be more useful than actual values in some instances. Harvest data are generally based on mandatory harvest reporting. Although compliance for reporting has been >95% in recent years, harvest values should be considered estimated mini- mum harvest in most instances.

  • KLAMATH MOUNTAINS PROVINCE STEELHEAD Oncorhynchus Mykiss Irideus
    KLAMATH MOUNTAINS PROVINCE STEELHEAD Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus Status: High Concern. Klamath Mountains Province (KMP) steelhead appear to be in long-term decline. Stream-maturing forms (mostly summer steelhead) are more limited in distribution and face a higher likelihood of near-term extinction than ocean-maturing forms (winter steelhead). Description: Steelhead are anadromous coastal rainbow trout which return from the ocean as large, silvery fish with numerous black spots on their tail, adipose and dorsal fins. The spots on the tail are typically in radiating lines. Their dorsal coloration is iridescent blue to nearly brown or olive. Their sides and belly appear silver, white, or yellow, with an iridescent pink or red lateral band. The mouth is large, with the maxillary bone usually extending behind the eyes, which are above pinkish cheeks (opercula). Teeth are well developed on the upper and lower jaws, although basibranchial teeth are absent. The dorsal fin has 10-12 rays; the anal fin, 8-12 rays; the pelvic fin, 9-10 rays; and the pectoral fins, 11-17 rays. The scales are small, with 110- 160 scales along the lateral line, 18-35 scale rows above the lateral line, and 14-29 scale rows below the lateral line (Moyle 2002). The coloration of juveniles is similar to that of adults, except they have 5-13 widely spaced oval parr marks, centered on the lateral line, with the interspaces wider than the parr marks themselves. Juveniles also possess 5-10 dark marks on the back between the head and dorsal fin, which make the fish appear mottled.
