Experimental evaluation of fishway modifications on the passage behaviour of adult Chinook salmon and steelhead at Lower Granite Dam,Snake River,USA

Previous studies of Pacific salmonid passage over Snake River dams indicated slowed passage at transition pools, the transition area between the fishway entrance and the fish ladder. In 2001 and 2002, we conducted an experiment to determine if modified weirs affected adult salmon and steelhead passage times and route selection through the Lower Granite Dam transition pool. Fish attraction flows through the lower ladder weirs were experimentally increased using removable panels. During the experiment we monitored radio‐tagged adult Chinook salmon and steelhead to determine passage routes and times through the transition pool. The weir treatment increased the number of spring–summer Chinook salmon passing straight through the transition pool compared to those exiting the transition pool to the collection channel or tailrace. Mean passage times through the transition pool differed among routes and were significantly lower during treatment periods for the exit‐to‐collection channel route in spring‐summer Chinook salmon, but not for other routes. Passage times among routes differed in steelhead, but there was no evidence of treatment effects on route use or passage time. Fall Chinook exhibited similar trends in route use and passage time to spring–summer Chinook, but differences were not significant, perhaps because of relatively small sample size. Total dam passage times did not differ by treatment or route for any run. Fish depth during passage of the transition pool suggested that most fish passed through submerged orifices and supported the hypothesis that increased water velocity through these orifices caused the increase in straight‐through passage in spring–summer Chinook. Collectively, the results suggested the weir modifications provided improvement to passage through the transition pool for spring–summer Chinook and no evidence of negative effects on other runs. The results from this study were used to develop new design criteria and modifications of the Lower Granite Dam fishway. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The development of MHD cold wall channels in the oil-fired condition

The durability of a cold wall MHD generator consisting of metal electrodes and alumina-coated peg insulators was experimentally examined in the oil-fired MHD condition with the additive of SO₂ corresponding to S = 0.54 wt%. The structure of the electrode wall and various anode and cathode materials were tested, with particular reference to developing long-life electrodes. It was clarified that Pt, SHOMAC (28.8 Cr−1.9 Mo) and SUS-304 as anodes and W---Cu (70 W−30 Cu) and WC---Ag (60 WC−40 Ag) alloys as cathodes were promising for durability and that the structure of an anode divided into two elements connected to each other with an SnO₂ resistor was very useful for uniformity of the anode corrosion pattern and the inter-anode voltages. It is reasonable to expect, from the test results, that the lifetime of a cold wall MHD generator in an oil-fired commercial plant will be over 4000 h, and therefore, a foundation for its commercial use has been established.

A protein which masks galactose receptor mediated phage susceptibility in Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis MPL56

A 28.5-kb plasmid, isolated from Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis MPL56, causes complete inhibition of four lactococcal phages. Cell wall characteristics of wild-type strain MPL56 were compared with its 28.5 kb plasmid-cured, phage-sensitive derivative MPL56-22. After proteolytic enzyme treatments, adsorption of phages occurred at high levels, an example is 94.6–98.5% in MPL56 cells. Analysis of cell wall extracts of MPL56-22 by sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) indicated that the only difference between strains was the 55.4 kDa band in protein patterns of MPL56. Adsorption of the four phages was completely inhibited when MPL56-22 cells were subjected to SDS, Triton-X-100, HCl and NaOH treatments. Lectins that were specific for glucose/mannose and N-acetylglucosamine did not prevent adsorption of phages in cell wall extracts of MPL 56-22. However a lectin specific for galactose (MCA; Momordica charantia ) completely inhibited adsorption of these phages in cell wall extracts of MPL56-22. HPLC patterns of cell wall carbohydrates of MPL56-22 and its HCl treated preparations showed that the most prevalent difference was the galactose on untreated MPL56-22 cell wall chromatograms.
