Four southeastern Ohio lakes that receive annual trout stockings were studied to determine: (1) the extent of available trout habitat in summer, (2) presence or extent of overlap in habitat and diet between trout and native warmwater fishes, (3) harvest of stocked trout, (4) recreational benefits attributable to trout stockings, and (5) the geographic areas that benefited from this management program. The lakes had little or no trout habitat during midsummer. Trout and warmwater species occupied the same habitats, even after thermal stratification, but did not appear to eat the same prey. Very few carryover trout (stocked in previous years) were caught. Average annual percent return of stocked trout was 83; 98% of the estimated harvest occurred within 7 wk after stocking. Trout did not grow significantly until after wk 7. The primary beneficiaries of the stocking program were anglers living within 32 km of the lakes. There appeared to be no economically feasible way to prolong the period of trout harvest nor to improve the trout fisheries.

It correlates positively with the carbonate content of till but depends also on the presence of feldspar, clay and other minerals. The strontium content of —120 + 200 mesh fractions of 19 till samples collected along the Powell-Union City Moraine increases from about 100 ppm in central Ohio up to 220 ppm at the Indiana border. The increase coincides with a change in the lithologic composition of the bedrock from sandstone and shale (Mississippian and Devonian) to carbonate rocks (Devonian and Silurian). Two positive strontium anomalies were found at Fulton and Piqua that might be attributed to the presence of celestite (SrSO4) derived from the underlying bedrock. However, no celestite was found in the till samples. The excess strontium concentrations of samples in the Fulton anomaly correlate positively with their K-feldspar/plagioclase ratios and appear to be caused by a change in the mineralogical composition of feldspar rather than by an increase in the abundance of this mineral. The cause for the Piqua anomaly is unknown. Author Institution: Department of Geology and Mineralogy, The Ohio State University 1982-09-01T00:00:00Z Wilcoxon, Willis Taylor, Karen S.

A creel survey was conducted from 10 March to 30 April 1977 in Dunkirk harbor located on the eastern shore of Lake Erie. Coho salmon (Oncorhyncbus kisutch), rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), and brown trout (Salmo trutta) comprised 55% of angler harvest. Finclips indicated that 13.5% of coho salmon caught in the harbor had been stocked in Ohio tributaries of the lake. Average catch per unit effort estimates for the salmonid part of the catch were 0.298 fish per hour (pier) and 0.322 fish per hour (boat) for successful salmonid anglers. The estimated total weight of the salmonid catch taken during the study was 610 kg.

Stream crayfishes were collected from the Chagrin River watershed during 1963-65 to determine their distributional patterns and to gather life-history information. Orconectes rusticus (Girard 1852), probably introduced into the basin in the early 1930s, was the dominant pool-dwelling species in the Chagrin River and Aurora Branch. Orconectespropinquus (Girard 1852), was restricted to the head-water portions of the main stream, the East, the Aurora Branches, and their tributaries; amplexus of this species was observed in September and March. Orconectes sanbornii sanbornii (Faxon 1884), was caught at one locality; this is the first record of its presence in the watershed. Orconectes virilis (Hagen 1870), inhabited pools of the middle and upper portions of the East Branch and its tributaries; its presence in the basin may be a remnant of a more expansive distribution. Orconectes immunis (Hagen 1870), probably a prairie relict, was captured at 2 disjunct localities in the watershed and at 3 other sites in northeastern Ohio. These are the first records of this species in these areas. Cambarus (Puncticambarus) robustus (Girard 1852), was widely distributed and abundant in the pools and riffles of the smaller tributaries and in riffles of the larger streams. An undescribed species, related to Cambarus {Cambarus) bartonii (Fabricius 1798), was captured at 8 localities. Equal sex ratios occurred in populations of 0. virilis and C. (P.) robustus, but 0. rusticus and 0. propinquus had unequal ratios of 1.30:1 and 1.49:1 (male:female), respectively.

W.; Montgomery, R. D. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of the renin-angiotensin system in the acute regulation of blood pressure following hemorrhage in the anesthetized rat. Eleven Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital. After control blood pressure recordings from the femoral artery were made, the rats were hemorrhaged 6 ml/kg body weight. Forty minutes after hemorrhage, the Angiotensin II antagonist, l-SAR-8-ALA-Angiotensin II (saralasin), was infused (10 /Ltg/min/kg) for 35 min. Hemorrhage resulted in a 53% decrease in blood pressure which recovered to 82% of the control blood pressure in 40 minutes. Infusion of saralasin resulted in a 24% decrease (p <0.01) in blood pressure within 15 min. Recovery from saralasin infusion occurred within 10 min as blood pressure increased back to control values. A second group of 5 rats was not hemorrhaged but was infused with saralasin. There were no significant changes in blood pressure; although, a tendency to decrease was noted reflecting the increase in plasma renin activity which occurs with anesthesia. It was concluded that the renin-angiotensin system can respond rapidly to a hypotensive event and aid in the restoration of blood pressure within minutes.

Intensive collecting in Cedar Bog, Champaign County, Ohio, during 1978 and 1979 utilizing a modified Malaise trap baited with dry-ice and shiny black sphere, and an aerial net, together with a review of specimens housed in 5 of Ohio's maintained insect collections, produced records for 33 species of horse flies and deer flies (Diptera: Tabanidae). The seasonal abundance for many of these species was documented by employing standardized collection techniques, and the great diversity of tabanid species was attributed to the wide variety of larval breeding habitats found in this area. Species unique to the bog, and some natural enemies of Tabanidae found there are discussed.

Haynes, James M.; Makarewicz, Joseph C. Macroinvertebrate communities were compared in dredged and undredged areas of the St. Lawrence near Cape Vincent, N.Y., by sampling with a Ponar dredge in 3 seasons. No significant differences existed in numbers of Gammarus spp. and species of Oligochaeta between dredged and undredged areas. The chironomids Pseudochironomus and Stictochironomus spp. were significantly less abundant and Clinotanypus was significantly more abundant at previously dredged sites. Among mollusks, Bithynia tentaculata and Sphaerium corneum were found in significantly greater densities at undredged stations. Total macroinvertebrate abundance was greater in undredged areas. The differences in total abundance of invertebrates and abundance of individual species in dredged and undredged areas appear to be related to the presence of gyttjatype sediments caused by breakwater construction and dredging operations at least 40 years ago.

Skeletal remains of 2 protohistoric Amerindian populations from Ohio were examined for the presence of traumatic lesions. Of the 166 skeletons analyzed, 9.6% (16) exhibited osteological traumas. In 81.3% (13) of these injuries, the causes appeared to have been accidents, and in 18.7% (3) the causes were aggressive activities. The accidental traumas were bony fractures which probably resulted from a fall. The inflicted traumas were produced with weapons. The skeletons from Anderson displayed a significantly (P < .05) higher frequency (18.2%) of total trauma than those from Eiden (6.6%). For both of the populations the difference observed between frequencies for inflicted and accidental trauma was not statistically significant. Within each population there was no significant difference between males and females for the frequency of traumas. Also, there was no significant difference in the frequency of traumas for the females of the 2 groups. However, males from Anderson had a significantly (P < .05) higher frequency (26.3%) of trauma than males from Eiden (7.0%).

The Manring archaeological site is a Hopewell center located on Beaver Creek, a tributary of the Mad River, in Clark County, Ohio. Comparisons with other excavated sites show the Manring site to represent a substantial labor commitment; it includes one of the very largest known Hopewell mounds. The presence of such exotica as an obsidian spear, a copper breastplate, copper celts and marine shell beads are also noteworthy, especially given the site's hinterland location. The juxtaposition of major routes of travel is suggested to be a more important factor in explaining site location than any direct subsistence advantage. Cross-dating indicates that Manring was occupied shortly after A. D. 100, or coincident with the early Pike phase as defined in the Illinois Valley.

The authors examined the morphological pattern of the coronary arteries and compared them to hearts from Caucasians. An attempt is made to relate the anatomical structure to the reduced incidence of myocardial infarction in the Bantu population. One possible explanation is that a microcirculatory adaptation to physiological conditions could act as a defense mechanism. It is evident that the intraparietal branches of the coronary artery present a greater internal diameter than those found in Caucasian hearts.
