SHAW* INTRODUCTION AMES ofsome of the important parasites of Oregon fish, wild birds, deer, and miscellaneous wild animals are listed in this bulletin. These parasites were collected during the years from 1925 to 1946, largelyas a result of encouragement from the late Dr. Maurice C. Hall, then Chief of the Zoological Division, Bureau of Animal Industry,Washington, D. C.The names of the parasites and thehosts,together with a few pertinent facts, are being published now with the belief that such information will be of interestto sportsmen, biologists,and students interested in wildlife.The list is not in any way complete.The photographs were made by Dr. O. H. Muth of the Department of Veterinary Medicine, Oregon State College.The parasites listed have been identified by members of the Zoological Division, Bureau of Animal Industry, Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.Unfor- tunately, the species have not been determined in all instances; for, undoubtedly, some new species are listed.The determination of species and their importance constitute an important field of endeavor for future parasitologists of Oregon.

  • Chapter 6 Passive Capture Techniques
    Chapter 6 Passive Capture Techniques WAYNE A. HUBERT, KEVIN L. POPE, AND JOHN M. DETTMERS 6.1 INTRODUCTION Passive capture techniques involve the capture of fishes or other aquatic animals by en- tanglement, entrapment, or angling devices that are not actively moved by humans or ma- chines while the organisms are being captured (Lagler 1978). The behavior and movements of the animals themselves result in their capture. The techniques used in passive sampling of fish populations are similar to those used for food gathering over the centuries. Nets and traps have been widely used among various cultures, and many of the currently applied techniques were used by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans (Alverson 1963). Based on their mode of capture, passive sampling devices can be divided into three groups: (1) entanglement, (2) entrapment, and (3) angling gears. Entanglement devices capture fish by holding them ensnared or tangled in webbing or mesh made of natural or artificial materials. Gill nets and trammel nets are examples of entanglement gears (Figure 6.1). Entrapment de- vices capture organisms that enter an enclosed area through one or more funnel- or V-shaped openings that hinder escape after entrance. Hoop nets, trap nets, and pot devices are examples of entrapment gears (Figures 6.2 and 6.3). Angling devices capture fish with a baited hook and line. Trotlines and longlines are examples of passive angling gears (Figure 6.4). Gear selectivity and gear efficiency are important considerations with respect to passive sam- pling devices. Often these terms are used interchangeably, but they have different, specific defi- nitions.
