Distribution of benthic fishes on the continental shelf and slope of the Oregon coast

Creator:

Day, Donald Stewart

Abstract:

The 36 samples collected with a 22-foot semi-balloon shrimp trawl at depths from 40 to 1,829 meters off the central coast of Oregon between July 1961 and June 1962 provided preliminary data on the distribution, species composition, and associations of benthic fishes with respect to depth and sediment type. Sixty-seven...

Diversity and similarity of benthic fauna off Oregon

Creator:

Stander, Jeffrey M.

Abstract:

Samples of benthic organisms off the coast of Oregon, taken from depths varying from 50 to 2900 meters, have been analyzed in terms of diversity at a given station, and similarity and ecological distance to other stations. Estimates of epifauna abundance were also made. In the analysis an important distinction...

Fish-habitat associations on a deep reef at the edge of the Oregon continental shelf

Creator:

Tissot, Brian N., Hixon, Mark Anthony, Barss, William, and Stein, David L.

Abstract:

Heceta Bank is a large reef on the edge of the central Oregon continental shelf that supports a wide variety of commercial fisheries. Using the research submersible Delta, we studied fish abundances on Heceta Bank and the relationship between species composition of fish assemblages and bottom types. Cluster analysis indicated...
