Hatfield Marine Science Center
as well as a dock facility for loading, unloading and storage out
of the weather. Construction is scheduled for fall 1996 with
completion in about a year.
The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Refuge Center is nearing
completion and is to be occupied in mid-July 1995. This
facility will be significant to the USFWS and will provide
support for our own education programs. This year plans are
being made for the public to visit the displays in the lobby. It is
the intent of our public education program to lead tours of that
facility as well as of the Environmental Protection Agency
lobby. I believe that this facility will make a great contribution
to our educational and research efforts at the Hatfield Marine
Science Center and to the health of the coastal environment, its
birds and mammals.
The fourth significant change has already begun and will be
completed this coming year. The National Marine Fisheries
Service Northwest Fisheries Science Center is stationing several
divisions here at the Center. The exact number of individuals to
be transferred here is not firm, but they will be working on
fisheries related issues. Two million dollars were made
available for the studies on ground fisheries and fish health.
All of these events will greatly increase the activities of the
HMSC and contribute to our understanding of the ocean and its
nearshore environment. We are looking forward to completion
of all these projects.
Director's Message
Lavern J. Weber, Director
The year 1994-95 has been a major turning point in some of
our activities. Four major projects that affect our future are
currently underway.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration study for
renovation of the public marine science education program was
completed, along with the architectural drawings. In addition,
funds were received from Housing and Urban Development to
complete design and building of displays and make architectural
changes to the old building. Bid opening will occur June 30,
1995, with construction to begin soon after. The emphasis of the
renovated facility will be to educate and display research with
interpretation on what this research means to the public.
Completion of this project is scheduled for May or early June
1996 and will constitute a major shift in our public education
activities.
The second area has been through funding through National
Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for expansion
of our boat dock. Our dock will be able to accommodate not
only the R/V Wecoma, but NOAA vessels of over 300 feet. We
will have added land-base office, shop and conference facilities
touched on such diverse themes as plate tectonics, fisheries
management, population genetics, aquaculture and natural
history. Twice yearly training for public in the Whale Watch
program continued in cooperation with Oregon State Parks and
Recreation.
Volunteers were essential to the educational success of many
programs. Public interpretation occurred continuously at the
octopus and touch tanks. Guided estuary and dock walks were
offered daily by volunteers and interns from Memorial Day
through Labor Day. Together, volunteers provided thousands of
hours of quality public education.
The Seatauqua program reached out to more people than ever
Public Wing
Bill Hanshumaker, Marine Educator
The aquariums and displays of the Public Wing attracted
almost 270,000 visitors last year and incorporated a series of
new hands-on activities designed to appeal to a variety of
learning styles. A new public demonstration area was constructed, providing volunteers and interns the opportunity to
present informal demonstrations illustrating some of the basic
principals of research conducted at HMSC. Auditorium
presentations and films reached over 50,000 visitors and

before, offering over 90 workshops and treks designed to instill
public stewardship of the marine environment. Seatauqua is
proving to be a cost-effective mechanism for other public and
private agencies to reach a common audience. Collaboration
with Oregon Coast Aquarium, Lincoln County Historical
Society, Siuslaw National Forest, Oregon State Parks and
Recreation, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and
Bureau of Land Management provides quality programming at
the lowest public cost.
After thirty years and over 9,000,000 visitors, HMSC's
Public Wing closed for a much needed renovation. In order to
extend the educational life of our exhibits, displays and fixtures,
most have been placed on "indefinite loan" to other informal
science educational facilities. Some exhibits were moved to new
locations within the HMSC complex. Public education such as
facility and estuary tours, dock walks, Seatauqua and school
programs continue to be offered during the closure.
Center Renovation Grant
funds for the renovation were secured through the Dept of
Housing and Urban Development with the assistance of the City
of Newport. The construction funds will also support the final
design steps for the interpretive displays, including the actual
exhibit scripts and drawings and bid documents. Supplemental
interpretive design work began in June and will continue
through the fall.
The public wing officially closed for renovations on May 29
and "farewell" ceremony and activities were planned and
executed by visitor center staff and volunteers. Many of the
existing exhibits have been loaned on temporary or long-term
basis to several visitor centers or attractions along the coast, to
schools and agencies, or moved to new locations within the
HMSC complex. Programs such as tours, Seatauqua informal
education courses, and Sea Grant educational courses and
classes will continue to operate during the closure.
Physical remodeling operations will start in July 1995 and will
include a full overhaul and upgrade of all utilities and infrastructure to the public wing including the seawater system.
Jan Auyong, Project Coordinator
The transition of the visitor area from an introductory natural
history aquarium to an interactive-multi-media, research-based
visitor center continues to progress. The expanded facility will
interpret why and how the ocean and coast are studied and
what this knowledge means for everyday life. The remodeling
will rejuvenate the reputation and attraction of the visitor
center while more explicitly performing its role as the outreach
facility for Oregon State University and its marine and coastal
research and education programs and collaborating agency
partners. Since the opening of the neighboring Oregon Coast
Aquarium in 1991, visitor attendance has dwindled from a high
of over 450,000 to under 300,000 and donations have cone
spondingly diminished.
The planning and design phase (Sept. 1993-December 1994)
was supported primarily by a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Sacajawea is owned by OSU and provides support for the
Hatfield Marine Science Center's public education programs
and a variety of research by OSU and other state andfederal
agencies. Sacajawea is documented by the U.S. Coast Guard as
an Oceanographic Research Vessel and is capable of supporting
education and research in bays and estuaries as well as near
coastal open waters.
OSU's Marine Superintendent of 14 years, Captain Kennard
Palfrey, retired in November, 1994 and the position has been
filled by Frederick J. Jones. Federal grant money has been made
available to expand the ship support facility at the HMSC and
engineering and architectural design firms have been retained to
design a new, 5000-square-foot ship operations building and a
pier expansion which will allow Wecoma as well as a visiting
oceanographic vessel to berth in Newport at the same time.
Construction is expected to begin in late 1995.
Fred Jones, Marine Superintendent
The College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Science (COAS)
operates the 185-foot research vessel Wecoma and the 36-foot
research vessel Sacajawea. Oregon State University (OSU) is
one of 19 vessel operating institutions in the University
National Oceanographic Laboratory System. The Ship
Operations office and shore staff are located at the Hatfield
Marine Science Center and Wecoma' s home port is Newport,
Oregon.
Wecoma is owned by the National Science Foundation (NSF)
and operated by OSU under a charter party agreement. The
funding for Wecoma comes primarily from the NSF and the
Office of Naval Research with occasional funding from other
federal agencies. The vessel carries a crew of 12 and a
scientific complement of up to 18, and is capable of supporting
scientific operations throughout the Pacific. Wecoma completed a major, mid-life upgrade in the early part of 1994 and
returned to service in June 1995. From that time through June
20, 1995, the vessel provided over 180 days of at-sea scientific

Extension Sea Grant
Seafood Processing - Kenneth Hilderbrand, Specialist
Two new fish waste composting firms started production in
1994-95 using information provided by the Seafood Processing
Specialist. Sales of potting soil made from whiting waste is
now over $1 million.
Hilderbrand also reports that results of 1994 albacore handling
studies have shown that Oregon troll caught tuna do not have
problems with high histamine levels and therefore do not pose a
food safety problem.
Continued work with the Seafood HACCP Affiance has
produced draft copies of a training manual for seafood processors. The Food and Drug Administration's mandatory seafood
inspection program has been delayed until early 1996 but
Hilderbrand says that the "Alliance" will finish their work on
industry training programs by the end of 1995.
Marine Education - Vicki Osis, Specialist
A variety of programs were offered to 8,000 youngsters in
visiting school groups who participated in hands-on laboratories, estuary nature hikes, auditorium programs and guided
aquarium tours. In addition, activities were funded by four
different grants to train teachers from elementary through high
school levels.
The National Science Foundation grant on Translating
Current Global Environmental Change Research for Middle
Independent Researchers
Fisheries: Steven Berkeley
School Teachers is supporting training programs in Alaska,
Hawaii and Washington. Twenty-nine middle school teachers
participated in a three-week workshop at the HMSC, 18 in a
workshop in Hawaii and 22 in the Washington state workshop.
The Alaska group will meet in the summer of 1995.
In addition, the Eisenhower-funded Environmental Explorations involved 30 elementary teachers in a project to collect data
from local environments and post the data on an electronic
network. Teachers were selected from the coast, the Willamette
Valley and the high desert. "Habitat" boxes were prepared and
shared between schools in the different environments. A
training session is planned this summer to train them on
conducting scientific sampling, such as transects.
A third grant from the Hughes Medical Institute is for the
Coastwide Citizen Monitoring Program. This supports coastal
high school teachers to monitor water quality in their local
estuary. Ten teachers from nine major Oregon estuaries will
participate in the program. Various water quality kits and other
equipment will be distributed at a two-week training session in
July 1995.
A small grant from the Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife is funding a tidepool interpretive program. Volunteers
stationed at tidepools will be trained to provide information and
interpretive services to reduce visitor impact on delicate
tidepool habitats.
Lastly, the on-going Masters in Science Education summer
program continues at full capacity. Twenty teachers from
around the world and the nation will be attending graduate
classes at the HMSC this summer.

determine variability in growth and survival of juvenile sablefish. Additionally, he recently received a grant from Oregon
Sea Grant that will initiate a new research effort on the effects
of fishing-induced age truncation on reproductive potential and
recruitment in black rockfish.
During 1994-95, Steve Berkeley continued his research on
pelagic longline fisheries in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.
The objective of this research is to determine differences in

As the Nassau grouper work is winding down, work on
another species has begun: summer flounder, Paralichthys
dentatus. The focus of this study is to evaluate aspects of
feeding of first-feeding larvae through early metamorphic stages
that were collected at sea. This includes defining the size and
type of prey ingested at various developmental stages, as well as
identifying any patterns of feeding periodicity.
Marine Algae: Gayle Hansen
The 1994-95 academic year for Gayle Hansen, phycologist,
was varied. An expert on the Oregon seaweed flora, she began
the year by teaching a field course in Marine Algal Taxonomy
to pharmacy students searching for natural products in seaweeds
that might be useful in medicine. Her interests in environmental
conservation and management then led her to two rather
different areas of research. In the fall, she completed a paper on
"Seaweed Collecting Regulations on the West Coast of North
America" which she presented at the Western Society of
Naturalists meetings in Monterey. Then, in the winter and
spring, she began work on a large comprehensive bibliographic
database on "Harmful Algal Blooms." The worldwide increase
in toxic or harmful algal blooms over the past decade or more
has generated a tremendous increase in research effort in this
field. This has led to a corresponding increase in publications,
making the literature unwieldy for those who use it. The "HAB"
database she is preparing consolidates and organizes this
literature and provides an easy access to the information
covered.
Global Climate Change and Biological Invasions: John
Chapman
John Chapman has largely concluded laboratory-based work
on the trophic effects of ultraviolet-B radiation (UVBR) in
marine systems. In that work UVBR effects on food value of
marine phytoplankton for suspension feeding invertebrates was
investigated in controlled laboratory experiments. The experiments progressed sufficiently to begin outdoor experiments and
modeling efforts needed to initiate field studies. A paper that
was in preparation on the use of antibiotics in laboratory
cultures of amphipods has been submitted for publication and a
paper on the trophic effects of UVBR from these laboratory
experiments is in preparation.
The work on biological invasions consists of four projects. A
paper on the predicted global invasions of the marine isopod
Synidotea laevidorsalis was published in the Journal of Crustacean Biology. A paper on the exotic amphipod Corophium
heteroceratum introduced into San Francisco Bay is being
prepared for publication in the Marine Ecological Progress
Series. Another manuscript on the physiological tolerances and
ecological displacement of the native amphipod Corophium
spinicorne is nearly finished. A fourth paper, on variation in
exotic and native amphipod distributions in an eastern Pacific
estuary with physical and chemical conditions, is well underway.
Marine Ecology: Cynthia Trowbridge
As a post-doctoral research associate with Dr. Bruce Menge
and Dr. Jane Lubchenco, she has focused primarily on
biodiversity patterns on Oregon rocky intertidal shores. The
project is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the
Mamie Markham Fund. Although extensive information is
available on patterns and processes structuring intertidal
communities at small spatial scales, many of the processes
affecting rocky shores (e.g. upwelling and El NitIo) affect large
areas. The objective is to scale up from local patterns (sampled
with 0.25m2 quadrats) to larger spatial scales (km to 1000s of
km).
During the past year she surveyed rocky shore communities at
Boiler Bay, Otter Rock, Devil's Punch Bowl, Yaquina Head
North, Seal Rock, Neptune Beach, and Strawberry Hill.
Species, phyletic, and functional diversity in visually distinct
landscape elements (e.g. ephemeral algal beds, fucoid communities, mussel beds, red algal beds, intertidal kelp beds,
surfgrass meadows, and urchin beds) have been documented.
She is currently investigating the effectiveness of color photography, coupled with computer image analysis, to identify and
analyze intertidal species' abundance and distribution. She is
using aerial photography to quantify the frequency of different
landscape elements at different sites. Remote sensing of rocky
intertidal shores poses a number of logistical challenges due to
the small size of intertidal organisms, steep physical gradients,
and complexity of spectral signals.
She has also continued research into the ecology of introduced
seaweeds and invertebrates, When exotic species invade
communities that contain visually similar residents, the exotics
often remain undetected in the early stages of invasion. The
problem of mistaken identity is becoming progressively more
acute with the accelerated rate of introduction. In the 1970s the
invasive green algal pest Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides
appeared in the Hauraki Gulf of New Zealand and San Francisco Bay, California; native subspecies of C. fragile occur in
both regions, though typically in more open-coast, waveexposed habitats. She wrote a review paper (in press in the
Journal of Ecology) on the ecology of this invasive algal pest
and is preparing another paper (for Marine Biology) on morphological and ecological differences between the invasive and
native subspecies.

Neuroscience Group
George Mpitsos, Don Campbell, Janet Leonard
The Neuroscience Group at the Hatfield Marine Science
Center (G. Mpitsos, D. Campbell, J. Leonard, J. Edstrom and T.
Morse) is involved in basic research into the function of
nervous systems. Specific projects span the range of neurobiology from the molecular basis of cellular electrical signals to the
behavior of whole animals. Don Campbell and Terry Morse are
studying the role played by different sub-types of ion channels
in determining the specific electrical signal generated by single
neurons. Jon Edstrom has joined that group in a project using
optical methods to study these electrical signals. George
Mpitsos studies interactions among groups of neurons in

Lavern Weber, Superintendent
Aquaculture: Christopher Langdon and Anja Robinson
A research grant from the Saltonstall-Kennedy program has
supported research on the use of red macroalga Palmaria mollis
as a food for abalone nurseries and broodstock. It may be
possible to greatly simplify commercial production of abalone
by substituting Palmaria for the diatom coatings that are
presently used to rear young abalone. Preliminary results look
very encouraging and there is a lot of interest from industry.
Michael Buchal completed his master's degree working on the
development of lipid-walled capsules for the delivery of lowmolecular weight, water-soluble nutrients (vitamins and amino
acids) to molluscs. His work has shown that it is possible to
encapsulate and successfully deliver these nutrients to clams.
Michael has stayed on at the HMSC after completion of his
master's degree and is presently working on the abalone project.
There has been a lot of effort put into establishing a Molluscan Broodstock Program (MBP) at the HMSC during 1994.
This has involved conference presentations, formation of a
coordinating committee and the submittal of a proposal to
USDA/CSREES. The proposal has been accepted, with the
support of the oyster industry, and the research is planned for
1995. The program will involve researchers from several
different institutions in the U.S. as well as researchers at the
HMSC. The long-term goal of the program is to improve the
performance and quality of oysters and other shellfish through
genetic manipulation and selection procedures.
Anja Robinson and Liu Xin have already a good start on the
Broodstock project through their work on Kumamoto oysters
and inbred Pacific oysters. Anja and Rogers Sardinia also
constructed a floating raft for the long-term storage of genetically valuable oysters.

experiments on molluscan nervous systems and by using
computer simulations to model the behavior of networks of
interconnected cells. This work is aimed at understanding the
mechanisms underlying self-organization and parallel distributed processing of information in the nervous system. Jan
Leonard uses a combination of behavioral and physiological
approaches to study behavior in whole animals. Her work
focuses on using the sea slugs Aplysia californica and Navanax
inermis as model systems in which electrical recordings can be
monitored chronically in freely-behaving animals.
Resource Economics: Gilbert Sylvia
Research this past year has focused on seafood marketing,
fisheries policy, and aquacultural production and marketing.
Outreach and public service has been directed at improving
fisheries management (appointed to the Science and Statistical
Committee of the Pacific Fisheries Management Council),
summarizing and publishing research results for industry (value
added whiting products, albacore tuna marketing), and helping
the Oregon seafood industry develop strategic plans (strategic
planning workshop organizer, presenter, and participant). A
significant number of research projects are interdisciplinary and
include close cooperation with the Astoria Seafood Laboratory,
the OSU Department of Bioresource Engineering, and economists and biologists of the National Marine Fisheries Service.
Ongoing projects include:
Bioeconomic modeling and public policy of the Pacific
whiting fishery
Portfolio analysis - seafood processing strategies
Value-added products from Pacific whiting
Diversifying aquaculture to include recreation and educational
production strategies
Developing strategies for marine outreach education
Developing marketing management strategies for the albacore
tuna industry
Analyzing the working relationships of the Oregon and
national seafood industries
Fisheries Population Dynamics: David Sampson
Dr. Sampson continued his research investigations into the
dynamics of Oregon's marine fisheries. During the year he
presented a paper about some of his research at an International
Flatfish Symposium in Alaska and with assistance from staff at
the Newport office of the Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife he developed a stock assessment for the Pacific Fishery
Management Council (PFMC) concerning the status of the
Canary rockfish resource off Oregon and Washington. He also
served on the Scientific and Statistical Committee of the PFMC
and as an associate editor for the North American Journal of
Fisheries Management. During the winter he taught the upper
division course "Dynamics of Marine Biological Resources" to
students from the Fisheries and Wildlife, Agricultural and
Resource Economics, and the Marine Resource Management
Program.
Last autumn four of Dr. Sampson's graduate students successfully defended their theses on the following topics:
Oregon's program for sampling the commercial groundfish
fishery
Risk aversion by Oregon's trawl fishermen
A multispecies model for the fish community off the U.S.
Pacific Coast
The distribution and abundance of demersal fishes off Oman.
Also he began working with three new graduate students. His
current students are conducting research on the following areas:
The demersal fish assemblages off the U.S. Pacific Coast
The maturity schedule of English sole and its effect on the
catch quotas
The influence of various sources of uncertainty on groundfish
catch quotas
Spawning site selection by Columbia River Chinook salmon
Fish Disease Research: Robert Olson and Paul Reno
Studies in the Laboratory for Fish Disease Research involved
graduate students and laboratory technicians and focused on
major pathogens of both salmonid fishes and economically
important shellfishes.
Diseases of Salmonids: Substantial progress was made
into the understanding of a number of pathogens, including:
Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus This disease can
cause high mortalities in salmon and trout throughout the world.
There is a wide range in the proportion of fish killed by the
virus, from undetectable to nearly 100%. The reasons for this
are complex and unclear at this time. Research in our laboratory
indicates that viruses from the Pacific Northwest belonging to
one particular serological type are generally virulent, while
members of other serotypes are less so. Viruses which are
restricted to growth in salmonid cells tend to be more virulent
than those that can grow in cells derived from nonsalmonid
fishes. In addition, virulent viruses appear to grow in the
presence of rainbow trout serum, whereas nonvirulent viruses
cannot. These findings may lead to a simple method to determine if a virus is capable of killing fish without the necessity to
expose fish to the virus.
Bacterial Kidney Disease (BKD) This chronic disease,
caused by unusual, slowgrowing bacteria is the most pervasive
and severe infectious disease of Pacific salmon and trout. The
disease results in tuberculosis-like lesions in the kidneys of
affected fish and is a result of the immune response to the
pathogen. Fish harbor the bacteria in their kidneys for long
periods of time with no evident clinical disease until some
unknown mechanism triggers the transition from carrier to
diseased fish. Our project involves immunosuppressing carrier
fish to determine if this will abrogate or exacerbate the development of disease and how this will affect various components of
the immune response to the pathogen. These studies will help us
understand the disease process and may lead to a vaccine for
BKD.
Salmon Rickettsial Disease A disease caused by this
bacteria-like pathogen has been detected in several countries
where salmon are reared, but not as yet in the U.S. It can be
highly virulent in commercial salmon farms. Detection of this
pathogen can be difficult. This project involves the development
of monoclonal antibodies against this pathogen which are
highly specific reagents that can be used to detect rickettsia and
will not react with other pathogens. These reagents will markedly improve the detection of this serious pathogen.
MS Virus This virus affects more than one third of the
salmon-rearing facilities in the Pacific Northwest. It has not yet
been characterized. This project will attempt to grow the virus
in cells outside the fish and try to biochemically characterize the
virus. This basic information is necessary if we are to understand the nature of the disease it causes and the manner in
which it is spread.
Dermocystidium A fungal pathogen which can cause
salmon to die due to occlusion of the respiratory function of the
gill, Dermocystidium is found in many populations of wild
salmon. Surveys were conducted on returning salmon in several
Oregon rivers, and the fungus was found at variable levels, in
some instances at levels high enough to kill adult fish. Laboratory studies on the effects of the pathogen on fish upon transfer
to seawater indicated that those individuals which had heavy
infections succumbed, whereas those with lighter infections
resolved the infection.
Diseases of shellfishes:
Microsporidian parasite of Dungeness crabs Dungeness
crabs from California to Southern Washington have been found
to harbor this pathogen at high levels. We have determined that
the disease is nearly always fatal and have found that it can be
readily transmitted between crabs by feeding on infected muscle
tissue; this is probably how it is spread in the estuaries. This
information helps us understand the disease process in wild
popnlations of invertebrates.
Disseminated neoplasia of bivalves This leukemia-hie
disease can be found at levels of up to 85% in softshell (mud)
clams on the East coast of the US, but has not been found in the
west We have determined that the cancer can be transplanted to
clams from Yaquina & Alsea Bays. This implies that Pacific
Northwest populations of clams, which were imported from the
East coast in the late 1800s, were removed prior to the arrival of
the inducing agent which caused the high levels of disease on
the East coast. We have also determined that disease can be
transmitted through the water to susceptible hosts during
feeding. These findings help us understand the dissemination of
the disease in the wild, and may have implications for mariculture of bivalves.
Caliciviruses in shellfish In conjunction with Dr. Alvin
Smith of the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine we have
HATFIELD MARINE SCIENCE CENTER ANNUAL REPORT 1994-95
been trying to determine how long these viruses, which can be
derived from marine and terrestrial mammals and can cause
human disease, can remain viable in bivalve shellfish. We have
found residual infectivity in oysters for up to 60 days postexposure. A survey of shellfish from the Atlantic, Pacific and
Gulf coasts using a nucleic acid probe and monoclonal antibodies indicates the presence of these agents in Maine, Florida, and
Oregon, but not in the samples taken from the Gulf coast.
Further work is underway to determine the exact types of
viruses which are present.
products have shown the viability of these methods. Seafood
waste and water use in processing plants is another major area
of research activity. Retrieval of bioactive compounds from
shrimp waste and recovery of gelling proteins from surimi wash
water, permitting increased utilization and a reduction of wastes
in the seafood industry. The SFL runs an annual OSU Sudan
School for mid-level surimi technicians and surimi-based
seafood personnel throughout the country.
New Facility and Seafood Consumer Center
The OSU-SFL has four faculty, three technicians and fifteen
graduate students working on various research projects. Our
rapid growth in personnel and expansion into areas such as
marine biotechnology and innovative processing have strained
the physical limits of the present lab. Federal funds have been
received through the U.S. Department of Agriculture to construct a new facility in Astoria. This new $4 million facility
will provide state-of-the-art technology to employ the more
specialized tools of contemporary science. The new lab will be
approximately 17,000 sq. ft. including a biochemistry, microbiology and seafood engineering laboratory. Concurrent with the
new OSU Seafood Lab, a new $2 million Seafood Consumer
Center (S CC) will be constructed in Astoria and operated by a
non-profit organization. The mission of the SCC will be to
address issues in consumer education, research, training and
information. Both facilities will expand capabilities in seafood
research and help industry meet the changing needs of the
consumer for both domestic and foreign markets.
Seafood Laboratory: Michael Morrissey
The research goals of the OSU Seafood Lab are: Value-added
product development, seafood safety, seafood biochemistry and
quality, latent species utilization, and seafood waste issues.
Since 1991, the OSU Seafood Lab has received over $2
million in grants-in-aid from federal, state agencies and private
industry to undertake research in these areas. Specific research
projects include the development of quality standards for
handling and processing Pacific whiting as a raw material;
value-added product development and marketing of whiting
products in the U.S. and foreign markets. Purification and
characterization of protease enzymes which affect texture
characteristics are areas of active research. Improving textural
properties of surimi through the use of protease inhibitors and
gel enhancers, such as whey protein concentrates, beef plasma
protein and a number of starch ingredients is also being investigated. The development of new processing technologies using
ohmic heating and high hydrostatics pressure for seafood
Earth and Sea Investigators'
Program
Kathleen Heide, Project Director
The Earth and Sea Investigators' Program is a pilot distance
learning experience for middle-level (4th to 8th grade) teachers
and students, particularly those in isolated settings. It is
designed to help learners to identify and design their own
scientific investigations, which require the students to:
Apply science and mathematics along with perspectives from
the social sciences;
Communicate with peers, scientists, and their communities;
Collaborate with students in their classrooms and elsewhere
throughout the state;
Direct their own learning;
Think critically, creatively, and reflectively; and
Use technology.
The 1993-95 pilot program is a collaborative effort of 89
schools in 57 Oregon school districts, the U.S. Department of
Education, the Oregon Department of Education, Oregon State
University's Hatfield Marine Science Center, Space Grant
College Program, and Native Americans in Marine Science
Program; Tektronix, Inc., and NASA.
Program delivery utilizes Oregon ED-NET for dynamic and
interactive broadcasts for students and broadcasts for teachers'

Coastal Oregon Productivity Enhancement
Program (COPE)
Initiated in 1987, the Coastal Oregon Productivity Enhancement Program (COPE) is a cooperative effort between the
College of Forestry at Oregon State University (OSU), the
USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station
(PNW), the USDI Bureau of Land Management/National
Biological Service, other federal and state agencies, forest
industry, city and county governments, and the Oregon Small
Woodlands Association. The intent of the program is to provide
resource managers and the public with information on management of fish, timber, water, wildlife, and other resources of the
Oregon Coast Range.
Highlights during 1994-95 include completing the installation
of two large-scale studies:
An addition to the Active Riparian Zone Management Study
involved testing hypothesis about how success of conifer
regeneration and water temperature and affected by openings in
the forest canopy along streams
A second study involves thinning 30-40 year old Douglas-fir
stands on the Tillamook Burn area. Emphasis will be on how
populations of small mammals, amphibians and birds respond to
forest practices.
Other projects in progress this past year have been:
Research on Bat Populations in Riparian Areas of the Oregon
Environmental Protection Agency
Coastal Branch, Western Ecology Division
The Newport EPA lab joined Corvallis this May, with the
combined laboratories becoming the Western Ecology Division.
One of the two main research areas at Newport is sediment
contamination. During the last year the Contaminated S edimerits Team has been engaged in two principal research
projects:
Development and verification of a model (EF'AH Model) to
predict the toxicity of sediments contaminated by mixtures of
polynuclear hydrocarbons
Development of a chronic sediment toxicity test for the
estuarine amphipod, Leptocheirus plumulosus.
The other main research area is estuarine ecosystem research,

which is part of a larger Pacific Northwest Ecosystem Management Program. Thrusts of the new estuarine ecosystem program include determining the relative importance of watershed
versus oceanic inputs of nutrients and sediment, implementation
of a hydrology model, assessment of benthic ecosystem
function, impacts of the introduced Spartina, circulation studies,
and estimating sediment deposition in the historic past. The
program is initiating a case study in Willapa Bay.
Two programs coming to completion are the complex effluent

discoveries made by NOAA's VENTS Program during the past
decade, it is now known that hydrothermal venting associated
with such volcanic activity induces large-scale change in global
ocean chemical and thermal environments.
Acquiring a quantitative perspective of hydrothermal impacts
is necessary in order to understand the full range of natural
ocean chemical and thermal variability and thus to be able to
model and predict ocean environment change. Once these goals
are achieved, the effects of submarine volcanic and hydrothermal activity on large-scale ocean processes, including nutrient
budgets and cycles, deep-ocean circulation and mixing, and a
8 fuller understanding of submarine volcanism's influence on
climate, can be determined.
HATFIELD MARINE SCIENCE CENTER ANNUAL REPORT 1994-95
A striking and consistent observation based on the past ten
years of VENTS Program observations of both continuous and
episodic venting is that volcanic and hydrothermal activity in
the deep ocean is much more widespread and vigorous than
previously imagined. It is well established that submarine
volcanism has, over long intervals of time, profoundly affected
the ocean and even climate. One important goal of the VENTS
Program is to determine if present-day volcanism and hydrothermal activity can significantly impact the ocean over shorter
intervals ranging from months to centuries. More specifically,
the goals of VENTS research are to determine (1) the magnitude of ongoing volcanically produced chemical and thermal
oceanic inputs and (2) the amount of time that it takes for
hydrothermal variability to be reflected by changes in the
ocean's chemical and thermal conditions.
Multi-year time-series of vent fluid sampling on discrete
sections of the Juan de Fuca Ridge are providing valuable
information on the dynamics of these vents. A major goal of
this work is to gain an understanding of how hydrothermal
systems evolve after a volcanic event.. Two areas under
intensive study, North Cleft segment and Co Axial segment, are
providing two examples of significantly different time scales of
chemical and thermal variability.
After a decade of hydrothermal research, VENTS scientists,
from NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory and
OSU's Cooperative Institute for Marine Resources Studies, are
now concentrating a large measure of their efforts on development of a wide variety of in situ technologies that are capable of
long-term, multi-scale temporal and spatial chemical, thermal,
and geophysical ocean observations. A variety of state-of-theart instrument systems, designed to acquire year-long records of
various physical and chemical data, are being placed at key
locations along northeast Pacific spreading centers and should
lead to a significant increase in our understanding of the
dynamics of mid-ocean ridges during the 1990s.
These efforts are exemplified by an innovative utilization of
Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) hydrophones, which are a
part of the Navy's Integrated Undersea Surveillance System.
The SOSUS hydrophone arrays are extremely sensitive to the
sounds generated by small earthquakes that are associated with
submarine volcanic eruptions which produce megaplumes.
During June and July 1993, VENTS scientists used SOSUS data
which were received in real-time, to detect, locate and then
confirm the eruption of a portion of the Juan de Fuca seafloor
spreading center 270 nm off the coast of Oregon. Although
such eruptions are the most common volcanic events on Earth,
this was the first time that a deep-sea eruption has ever been
detected, located and studied while active. Like land volcanoes,
submarine eruptions produce the most intense environmental
effects during early stages of activity. Access to SOSUS has
not made it possible for VENTS to begin the process of
monitoring the Pacific for volcanic events which affect the
ocean's chemical and thermal environments. In the year
following the June 1993 event, other eruptions were detected
along northeast Pacific spreading centers and one eruption was
located along a major fracture zone.
The VENTS Program's research goals are particularly
relevant given the national priority for understanding the
processes and rates of global change because it addressers
priorities, such as ocean circulation and heat fluxes, deep-water
biogeochemistry, and ocean circulation and composition, that
heretofore have not been considered to be affected by volcanism. Current global climate models are not designed to account
for any of these volcanically driven processes and effects.
FY 1994 Accomplishments
Published a special section in the Journal of Geophysical
Research Letters containing 12 interrelated, interdisciplinary
papers dealing with the geological, geophysical, physical and
chemical oceanographic, and biological processes and effects of
the June/July 1993 volcanic eruption on the central Juan de
Fuca Ridge.
Initiated acoustic measurement of horizontal deformation
across an active volcanic rift for the purpose of correlation with
other physically and chemically sensed data associated with
ongoing hydrothermal venting.
Tested and deployed an array of laboratory-developed,
portable hydrophones that will eventually replace the program's
dependence on military hydrophone arrays like SOSUS.
Completed a series of submersible dives along the southern
East Pacific Rise between 14°S and 18°S for the purpose of
beginning to understand the impacts of the fastest spreading and
most volcanically/hydrothermally active portion of the global
seafloor spreading system.

Fisheries Behavioral Ecology Program,
Alaska Fisheries Science Center
Bori 011a, Project Leader
A continuing theme of the program is to define the interrelationships between key environmental factors and behavioral
responses of larval and juvenile stages of commercially important marine fish species. It is clear that behavioral mechanisms
can play a dominant role in determining distribution and
survival during the early life history, when mortality rates are
high and variable. A better understanding of these processes
has valuable implications when attempting to develop accurate
sampling surveys, predict how the responses of fish to changes
in the environment affect distribution and ultimately, determine
the probability for survival. This past year the research emphasis has been on the possible role that behavioral factors play in
the formation of aggregations of walleye pollock larvae and
identifying the causative factors affecting temperature selection
and vertical distribution in walleye pollock juveniles.
In our larval studies, we tested behavioral responses to light

Northwest Fisheries Science Center
Fisheries Analysis and Monitoring Division
Richard Methot, Director
Ray Conser, Program Manager at HMSC
This new Division of the Northwest Fisheries Science Center
(NWFSC) has been established to provide scientific advice on
management of West Coast groundfish. The goal is to improve
understanding of West Coast groundfish and their ecosystem,
and to utilize this knowledge to provide technical support for
assessment and management of West Coast fisheries. By midJuly the Division will have six researchers at the Hatfield
Marine Science Center (HMSC) and a Division Director located
in Seattle, Washington. Areas of emphasis being developed by
the Division are:
Improved fishery assessment methods, including analysis on
interactions between species
Enhanced fishery monitoring, particularly through at-sea
observations
Survival of discarded bycatch.
Initial laboratory work on survivability of bycatch is being
conducted in collaboration with the Behavioral Ecology
Program of the Alaska Fisheries Science Center which is colocated at the HMSC. The Division's work is expected to
involve collaboration with academia, State fishery agencies,

otheYNOAA elements, and the fishing industry.
gradients, olfactory gradients of prey scent, and live prey
density gradients. While larvae were attracted to light and high
prey densities, they showed no response to prey scent. It
appeared that the initial formation of a larval aggregation was
the result of an attraction to light with the persistence of the
aggregation the result of increased turning rates as the larvae
encountered and fed upon prey.
Our experiments with juvenile walleye pollock tested the
influence of food availability on behavior in vertical temperature gradients, and demonstrated that juvenile walleye pollock
possess extensive flexibility in their behavioral responses. As
food availability declined, the fish responded by increasing their
activity to intensify food searching behavior, despite thc high
energy expenditure. However, as food levels declined to
starvation levels, not only did activity markedly decrease, but
the fish also selected colder temperatures in a vertical gradient,
resulting in a lowering of metabolic rate and conserving energy
until the food supply increased. These studies, in conjunction
with our prior research on the behavioral ecology of larval and
juvenile walleye pollock, reveal the importance of behavioral
responses in determining spatial distribution in the sea, and
indicate the value of understanding the role of environmental
factors in eliciting different behaviors.
Salmonid Ecosystem Analysis Program
Bruce McCain, Project Manager
The Salmonid Ecosystem Analysis Program was initiated at
the HMSC in the spring of 1995 as an extension of ongoing
research being conducted by the NWFSC. At the end of June,
four researchers arrived from Seattle to begin applying their
efforts toward salmon issues in estuaries and coastal areas of
Oregon and Washington. (Two more are expected by October,
1995.) The overall objective of this multi-year research
program is to increase understanding of the natural and anthropogenic factors in estuaries and nearshore ocean that may
influence the health, growth and survival of juvenile Pacific
salmon.
Three types of research projects are currently underway. The
abundance and distribution of various life-history stages of
northern anchovy are being assessed in the nearshore coastal
areas off the Oregon and Washington coasts. The northern
anchovy is being investigated because previous studies suggested that year-class strength of Oregon coho salmon may be
related to predation rates on juvenile coho salmon, and the
northern anchovy is an important alternative prey for salmonid
predators.
Another investigation involves a reconnaissance survey of
sampling sites in the Columbia River Estuary and Willapa Bay
(a reference estuary) to assess the seasonal abundance of
epibenthic prey organisms in habitats commonly used by
downstream-migrant salmonids. Previous studies indicate that
prey availability may limit the carrying capacity of estuaries for
juvenile salmonids. As a part of this survey, the potential
HATFIELD MARINE SCIENCE CENTER ANNUAL REPORT 1994-95
exposure of subyearling fall chinook salmon to toxic chemical
compounds is also being evaluated by analyzing chemical
contaminants in sediments and prey tissues from salmon
habitats.
The third type of research involves evaluation of the effects of
specific toxic chemicals on the resistance of juvenile chinook
salmon to challenges with a pathogenic marine bacterium in
order to better understand the relationships between contaminant exposure and lowered disease resistance. Previous
research conducted in Washington State estuaries by NWFSC
personnel demonstrated that juvenile chinook salmon from
contaminated estuaries are more susceptible to infection by
pathogenic bacteria than juveniles from hatcheries or nonurban
estuaries.

Oregon Coastal Refuges Office
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Oregon Coastal Refuges
Office, manages six National Wildlife Refuges along the
Oregon coastline. These refuges include Bandon Marsh, Cape
Meares, Nestucca Bay, Oregon Islands, Siletz Bay and Three
Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuges (NWR). Highlights
from June 1994 to June 1995 are:
Oregon Coastal Refuges Office: Construction of the new
Oregon Coastal Refuge Ecosystem Office at the Hatfield
Marine Science Center is nearing completion with occupancy
expected in mid-July 1995. Additional USFWS personnel are
expected to relocate here upon completion of the building.
Land Acquisition: Three parcels of land totaling just over 27
acres were added to Siletz Bay NWR this year. Options to
acquire two additional parcels at Siletz Bay and one parcel at
Nestucca Bay NWR have been obtained. These properties will
be acquired and incorporated into the National Wildlife Refuge
system in the early summer of 1995. The majority of this newly
acquired land is intertidal salt marsh and mud flats.
1995.
Wildlife Surveys: Surveys were conducted for nesting
seabirds, bald eagles, peregrine falcons and wintering waterfowl. An intensive study documenting the wintering ecology of
Aleutian Canada geese was also accomplished Repetitive
aerial surveys of common murre colonies were conducted in
May-June as a pilot project of the Tenyo Maru Oil Spill
Restoration Program.
Three Arch Rocks NWR Buffer Zone: In 1994 the Oregon
Marine Board adopted a 500-foot buffer zone around the rocks
at Three Arch Rocks. The buffer zone was implemented as a
measure to protect the estimated 226,000 nesting seabirds and
the threatened Steller sea lions from human disturbance. The
buffer zone precludes boaters from approaching the rocks closer
than 500 feet. This is a seasonal closure that occurs between 1
May and 15 September annually. The Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife, in partnership with the USFWS, monitored
the refuge rocks to document the effectiveness of the buffer
zone. The results indicate that the buffer zone is very effective
in reducing human disturbance to seabirds and marine mammals
at Three Arch Rocks NWR. Educational efforts will be
increased to seek compliance with the closure.
Cape Meares Interpretation: A cooperative effort between
the USFWS, Oregon State Parks, the Native Plant Society, and
Friends of Cape Meares Lighthouse and Wildlife Refuge has
resulted in the creation of a self-guided environmental education and interpretation program at Cape Meares. A large kiosk
was constructed and 16 interpretive panels describing the
natural resources and history of the lighthouse have been
installed throughout the Cape Meares Headland. The project
was formally dedicated on June 3, 1995, in memory of Sally
Guin Library
Janet Webster, Librarian
The Guin Library continues to be a focal point for the
Center. Almost all of the staff uses the library to satisfy their
information needs. Close to one thousand titles were added to
the collection, ranging from technical reports such as Oregon
Coastal Kelp Resources to books like Climate Change: Impact
on Coastal Habitation to practical guides such as A Practitioners
Guide to Reptilian Husbandry and Care. The variety of
11
purchases and gifts reflects the interests and needs of the
researchers at the Center. Those wishing to stay abreast of new
additions to the library may subscribe to an electronic listsery
that the library staff uses as a communication tool.
The library is increasingly recognized as a prime resource
for marine information for others in the Pacific Northwest. The
staff filled 1400 requests from researchers as close as Corvallis
and as far away as Kenya. We also borrowed material internationally including a Danish food science thesis for a graduate
student at the Astoria Seafood Lab. We are exploring new ways
to bring information to the Center faster and more efficiently.
Commercial document delivery services promise quick delivery
of items often difficult or time-consunAhTg to get. More
exploration of these services is needed before taking the plunge,
but the library staff is always looking for new ways of helping
library users.
The library personnel has remained steady this year. Janet
Webster continues as the librarian and published two articles this
year, one on evaluating scientific illustrations and the other on the
gray literature produced by the Endangered Species petitioning
of the Columbia River salmon. Her full-time assistant, Susan
Gilmont, is finishing a major project of entering all of the
journal holdings into electronic format easily searched by
library users. Our part-time clerical assistant, Liz Fox,
facilitates the daily transactions with Kerr Library at the main
campus.
spheric Sciences (COAS). Led by Dean G. Brent
Dalrymple, that college with a $21 million budget, 91%
supported by the soft dollars from grants obtained by the
faculty and researchers, had not previously had a development component of their own. This dual responsibility has
increased staff travel.
This new level of activity prompted a combination of the
two units into the first Annual HMSC/COAS Donor
Symposium held on June 1. Here students, including one
high school senior, and researchers presented short research
status reports to the gathered donors, faculty and friends.
Development efforts continue to complete the endowment
for the Marine Mammal Research program, under the
direction of Dr. Bruce Mate. Dr. Mate was featured this
year on a special one-hour PBS film, The Sounds of Discovery." A special event was held at a private home in the
Portland area the night of the airing. Some 75 people,
former "whale trippers" and friends, enjoyed fine food and
fellowship. The program is funded $5.4 million toward its
goal of $7.2 million.
Jan Satterwhite left June 16 to be with her husband Jim,
who has taken the position of Director for the Housing and
Urban Development office in Pendleton, Oregon. We will
miss her efficient efforts and her warm positive personality.

October 4 was the launch date for the International Living Center
campaign. Following an intensive volunteer recruitment program
featuring Division Leaders, Team Captains and Teams of five
campaigners each, all was in place to go into the Lincoln County
area to solicit support toward the first of four phases of $1 million.
Some 75 community and business leaders hosted some 300 people
at the kickoff and then began the prospect calling with the intensive
peak the week before Thanksgiving. The Building to the Future
brochure indicated the economic benefits brought to the area by the
HMSC, having brought $150 million to the local economy since
1965. Some $76,000 was raised, a remarkable feat as this was the
first major HMSC fund raising event attempted in Lincoln County.
The steering group is now taking the campaign to a broader
audience. During the campaign, staff made 35 presentations of the
model and slide program to service clubs and business entities. The
Inn at Spanish Head sponsored a special night in honor of the
campaign with dinner, refreshments and auction items. This was a
very elegant and classy affair.
