Benthic macrofauna, sediment and water quality near seafood cannery outfalls in Yaquina Bay, Oregon Swartz, Richard Carlyle, 1943-; Schults, Donald W.; DeBen, Waldemar A.; Cole, Faith A.; Oregon State University. Marine Science Center. Marine and Freshwater Ecology Branch; Corvallis Environmental Research Laboratory "Seafood canneries in lower Yaquina Ray, Oregon process shrimp (Pandalus jordani), Dungeness crab (Cancer magister), a variety of bottom fish and several salmon species. The shrimp wastes are screened and discharged directly into the Ray beneath the cannery docks. During the shrimp processing season about 3.8 million liters of wastes are discharged daily. We conducted a survey of the macrohenthos, sediment, and water quality in Yaquina Bay in May 1978. The effects of the cannery wastes were restricted to the immediate vicinity of the cannery docks. The effluent plume was quite turbid and had high nutrient concentrations. Because of its initial low salinity it was restricted to the surface layer where it mixed with estuarine water and was rapidly dispersed by strong tidal currents. Dissolved oxygen concentrations were 7.0 mg/1 or greater in the plume. The strong currents and screening treatment of the effluent minimized deposition of solids on the sea bed. Bottom water quality was not adversely affected." (from the Abstract) Includes species list.

Development of Electronic Fishery Information Systems for West Coast and National Fisheries: Proceedings of Two Workshops, May 3-4, 2011 Portland, OR, September 8-9, 2011 Seattle, WA, Final Report, June 2012 Steinberg, Nancy; Sylvia, Gil; Dresler, Jenny Fisheries nationwide are facing major challenges that require collection of real time (RT) and near real time (NRT) information. High-resolution RT and NRT data are critical for addressing a variety of fishery needs including quota accounting, observer coverage, bycatch management, electronic logbook and fish ticket requirements, research and monitoring, spatial mapping, and product tracking and marketing. But there are major questions about the development and use of these electronic fishery information systems (eFIS): Who owns the data and how will they be shared? Can data be used to improve the economic success of the industry while also meeting regulatory requirements? How do we avoid costly and duplicative systems? And how do we ensure that systems designed to share data also protect individual privacy? The transition to RT and NRT electronic systems poses potential benefits but also raises major questions. This document summarizes the proceedings of two workshops to discuss implementation of eFIS for West Coast (May 3-4, 2011 in Portland, OR) and national (September 8-9, 2011 in Seattle, WA) fisheries. At each workshop stakeholders discussed critical issues and developed recommendations for designing and implementing eFIS systems. A number of important principles emerged about which there was general consensus within and across the two workshops. These principles form a set of findings and recommendations to guide successful eFIS development

Workshop on oyster production in Oregon : held at the Marine Science Center, Newport, November 27, 1967 Wick, William Q. With the construction of the Marine Science Center and the opening of its Pacific Fisheries Laboratory in 1965, Oregon State University had facilities for research that would ultimately lead to breakthroughs in Pacific Coast oyster culture. "Purposes of the workshop were to review present and planned programs of research with oysters in Oregon and to discuss problems of the oyster grower." (from the Introduction) Includes summaries of presentations by representatives of Sea Grant, the Oregon Fish Commission, Oregon State University Extension Service, oyster growers and Marine Science Center researchers.

The use of heated sea water for farming oysters and salmon Breese, Wilbur P.; Oregon State University. Dept. of Fisheries and Wildlife For oysters, "The objective of these studies was to determine the biological feasibility of using the heated effluent from coastal nuclear power plants for culturing the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas." (p.1) Work included oyster growth experiments, seasonal growth experiments and closed system studies. For salmon, "The objective of these studies was to determine the biological feasibility of using the heated effluent from coastal nuclear power plants for culturing chum salmon, Oncorhynchus keta, and, to a lesser extent, pink salmon 0. gorbuscha." (p.3) Work included temperature vs. growth experiments, temperature x ration factorial experiments, and disease control studies.
