Notes:
Populations of the amphipod, Anisogammarus pugettensis (Dana) 1853, can be raised for several generations under laboratory conditions. Compared with the growth of another amphipod, Eogammarus confervicolus Stimpson 1856, A. pugettensis grew more rapidly to maximum biomass and reached a new generation earlier when both were grown under their optimal growth conditions. A. pugettensis grew faster in upwelled impoundments containing epiphytic diatoms than under laboratory conditions. In fish feeding studies, the amphipod E. confervicolus is an adequate diet for salmonid growth when compared with Oregon moist pellets.
