Destruction of the ecosystem in the Great Lakes and possibilities for its reconstruction

This paper is a review of the sequence of events within the Great Lakes and their drainage to provide a basis for interpreting probable cause-and-effect relations between events of settlement and changes in the ecosystem of the Great Lakes. Possibilities of restoration of the lakes are discussed. A plan to do so must include (1) improvement of land uses in the drainage basin, (2) elimination of so

Virucidal activity of two Iodophors to salmonid viruses

Wescodyne® and Betadine®, organic iodine complexes, were compared in vitro for virucidal activity against infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN), infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN), and viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) viruses. Both iodophors were about equally effective on all three viruses. Each iodophor completely destroyed IHN virus within 30 sec at 12 ppm iodine, and was not affected by

Effect of two Iodophors on bacterial and fungal fish pathogens

In in-vitro tests on nine species of bacteria and two species of fungi, the majority of strains tested did not survive a 5-min exposure to either Betadine or Wescodyne at a concentration of 25 ppm active ingredient.

Virulence and persistence of rough and smooth forms of Aeromonas salmonicida inoculated into coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)

Virulent isolates of Aeromonas salmonicida showed a majority of smooth colonies, while the attenuated isolates displayed mostly rough colonies. A lesion occurred at the site of inoculation when one of the rough forms was inoculated into yearling coho salmon, but few mortalities were recorded even though the rough forms were readily recovered from both the lesion and the kidney. The fish inoculated

Some physiological consequences of handling stress in the juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri)

The stress of handling juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) in soft water and in water with added salts was evaluated using blood and tissue chemistry fluctuations as indices of metabolic and endocrine function. Changes in plasma glucose, chloride, calcium, and cholesterol levels indicated that significant osmoregulatory and metabolic dysfunctions can o
