Predator Recognition Learning in Rainbow Darters (Etheostoma Caeruleum)
I investigated whether rainbow darters (Etheostoma caeruleum) could learn to associate cues from an unfamiliar predator with a known fright stimulus (darter alarm cues) through the process of classical conditioning.

Behavioral Responses of Rainbow Smelt to Sensory Deterrent Systems
Since the late 1970s, rainbow smelt Osmerus mordax have been the primary prey fish for top-level predators in Lake Oahe. Historically, water level management and entrainment losses of rainbow smelt at the Lake Oahe dam have likely contributed to the reduced growth rate of walleye Sander vitreus, …

Growth and Characterization of Cell Cultures of Rainbow Trout
Gonad and spleen primary cultures of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri Richardson) were initiated and compared to the rainbow trout gonad transformed cell line RTG-2. The RTG-2 cell line grew faster than the gonad primary cultures. The chromosome number of the gonad primary culture was 2n=56 with 104 …
