Oral History Interview with L. C. Pike, June 1, 2007
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Bud Pike. Pike went into the Navy in October 1942. After going through boot camp at Great Lakes, Illinois and yeoman school, he went to submarine school in New London, Connecticut. Afterwards, he was assigned to the USS Sailfish (SS-192) at Pearl Harbor. He was aboard for her 10th, 11th and 12th war patrols. Pike provides a good description of the attack on the Japanese carrier (escort) Chuyo. On 7 December 1943 a Japanese plane came in out of the sun, catching them on the surface, and put a bomb close aboard, denting the hull. They finished their patrol but when they got back to Pearl Harbor they were sent state-side for a complete overhaul. After overhaul, the Sailfish went back to Pearl Harbor for her 11th war patrol. They came back to Midway for rest camp and left from there on their 12th patrol in October 1944, part of the invasion fleet for the Philippines. They rescued twelve aviators off Formosa on this patrol but got caught on the surface again by an airplane that damaged their radio antenna. They got back in Pearl around Christmas 1944 and were sent back to the States. There, the Sailfish served as a training boat. The Sailfish was decommissioned in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in October 1945. Pike was the last one off the boat, his claim to fame. He was discharged on the same date
Cryopreservation of Pike Perch Sperm in Hatchery Conditions
No full textExperiments were carried out on pike perch (Sander lucioperca L.) to find a method for stripping
sperm without contamination by urine, to determine sperm concentration, and to fertilize large
batches of eggs with cryopreserved sperm. Induced spawning technology for pike perch, an
important predator fish species in Hungarian and central-eastern European pond aquaculture,
has been developed only recently. Sperm cryopreservation can be an important tool for several
reasons including the simplification of hatchery work and long-term preservation of genomes of
males with high genetic value. In the present study, sperm was stripped without urine contamination,
improving sperm quality, and large amounts of eggs were fertilized using 0.25 ml sperm,
resulting in hatching percentages of 55±3% for 30-g batches of eggs and 87% for a 50-g batch

Intraspecific variation in the metabolism of juvenile Atlantic salmon salmo salar and northern pike esox lucius
No full textBasal metabolic rate (BMR), the sum of maintenance energy costs, represents a major component of the energy budgets of ectothermic vertebrates and varies between individuals within a species. Individual ectotherms are generally assumed to have a constant BMR at any given temperature. A strategy of flexibility in BMR might have evolved to cope with differing environmental conditions. Within-individual variation in BMR was examined in two fishes, juvenile Atlantic salmon Salmo salar and juvenile northern pike Esox lucius, whilst the effects of exercise and ration on BMR, maximum metabolic rate (MMR), enzyme levels and body composition were studied in detail for pike. In the first part of the study, measurements of BMR were made for first-summer Atlantic salmon parr at rest by respirometry. In 1996, initial measurements of BMR were made for 25 fish held in a stock tank. Fish were then allocated in small groups to channels to represent a change in environment and BMR re-measured after a period of several weeks. The procedure was repeated for 30 fish in the summer of 1997, when fish were given a reduced food ration. Variation in BMR in each experiment was analysed for individual fish, and for all fish using a linear mixed model. There were statistically significant differences in BMR values between the two times, the within-individual, between-time variation representing approximately ± 21% of BMR in 1996 and ± 28% of BMR in 1997. Reduced-rafion fish (1997) displayed a significant decrease in the mean elevation of the allometric scaling relationship between body mass and BMR between time periods. To further explore possible mechanisms for flexibility in BMR and relationships with MMR, juvenile pike were used. Initial measurements of BMR and MMR (following exhaustive exercise) were made and factorial metabolic scope calculated (MMR/BMR). Fish were then split into a high ration no-exercise group (n = 10), low ration no-exercise group (n = 10) and sustained exercise group (n = 13). Initial measurements were termed time 1, with subsequent measurements made after approximately 3 weeks (time 2) and 11 weeks (time 3). Exercised fish had a significantly larger MMR and scope following 3 weeks of sustained swimming. For all fish there were significant correlations between BMR and MMR at times 1 and 3 but not at time 2.After the oxygen measurements made at time 3 all fish were humanely killed. Maximal enzyme assays were performed on six tissues for each remaining fish (n = 30). Levels of each of two enzymes (citrate synthase, CS, and lactate dehydrogenase, LDH, measured in the direction of lactate oxidation) were found to be similar between treatment groups for respective tissues. Total CS activity levels and LDH levels were highest in the heart and red muscle. In general there was little difference in the relative organ masses of fish exposed to different treatments. It is concluded that in these two fish species with very different life styles, between- and within- individual variation in BMR (salmon & pike) and MMR (pike only) is apparent and that differences in ration and exercise influence individual physiology

Accumulation of 137Cs in a pike perch (Lucioperca lucioperca L.)
No full textLong-term researches of specific activity of 137Cs at a pike perch (Lucioperca lucioperca L.) from Kanevskoe reservoir and cooling-pond of ChNPP are summed up. Distribution of 137Cs on organs and tissues of a pike perch occurred more slowly, than at the majority of other species of fishes. It is established that water temperature does not influence on specific activity of 137Cs at a pike perch. Increase of specific activity of 137Cs at a pike perch with increase in weight of the individual is registered. Dynamics of decrease of specific activity of 137Cs and dy-namics of factors of accumulation of 137Cs by a pike perch in different reservoirs can significantly differ
Behavioural syndrome in a solitary predator is independent of body size and growth rate.
No full textModels explaining behavioural syndromes often focus on state-dependency, linking behavioural variation to individual differences in other phenotypic features. Empirical studies are, however, rare. Here, we tested for a size and growth-dependent stable behavioural syndrome in the juvenile-stages of a solitary apex predator (pike, Esox lucius), shown as repeatable foraging behaviour across risk. Pike swimming activity, latency to prey attack, number of successful and unsuccessful prey attacks was measured during the presence/absence of visual contact with a competitor or predator. Foraging behaviour across risks was considered an appropriate indicator of boldness in this solitary predator where a trade-off between foraging behaviour and threat avoidance has been reported. Support was found for a behavioural syndrome, where the rank order differences in the foraging behaviour between individuals were maintained across time and risk situation. However, individual behaviour was independent of body size and growth in conditions of high food availability, showing no evidence to support the state-dependent personality hypothesis. The importance of a combination of spatial and temporal environmental variation for generating growth differences is highlighted
