Deschutes Basin Bibliography

Deschutes Basin Bibliography

The Deschutes Basin Bibliography was created to provide a resource for scholarly research to be used in tandem with the Oregon Explorer Deschutes Basin: The bibliography’s primary focus is the scientific study of the survival and reintroduction of native fish in the Deschutes River and its tributaries. It also has selected items that touch on the legal and social issues surrounding anadromous fish in the Deschutes Basin. This document cites journal articles, state and federal government documents, agency reports, environmental organization projects and student theses, among other materials. Although not comprehensive, the aim is for the bibliography to be a guide to the significant information available at this time. I’d appreciate hearing of any additions and corrections. Oregon State University Libraries’ holdings are indicated and when possible an Internet address is provided for the document. Bear in mind that Internet addresses are subject to change.

Reintroducing native fish in Central Oregon is an evolving story and there are a number of excellent sites that merit monitoring for more current information, including:
