The bay clams of Oregon : their economic importance, relative abundance, and general distribution

Creator:: Marriage, Lowell D. and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: An average of approximately 200,000 pounds of bay clams were harvested annually in Oregon for the years 1943-49, inclusive. The commercial harvest of bay clams is composed of the gaper, cockle, and softshell clams.

Analysis of factors affecting the production of chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) in Tillamook Bay

Creator:: Henry, Kenneth A. and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: Tillamook Bay chum salmon are caught commercially by gill-nets, both set and drift, and from 1928 through 1949 the landings have averaged 819,689 pounds per season. More chum salmon are caught on Tillamook Bay than on the rest of the Oregon coastal rivers combined. These fish enter the ocean only...

Tuberculosis in Pacific salmon and steelhead trout

Creator:: Wood, James W., Ordal, Erling Josef, 1906-, and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: Tuberculosis in salmonoid fishes was first observed in the 1952 run of fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) returning to the Bonneville Hatchery of the Oregon Fish Commission. In the studies reported here, tuberculosis was found not only in adult spring chinook but in silver salmon (0. kisutch), blueback salmon (0....

A microcytic anemia of juvenile chinook salmon resulting from diets deficient in vitamin E

Creator:: Whitmore, Cecil M. and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: An anemia of juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is described and stages of development separated by recognizable syndromes. A vitamin E-deficient diet of low rancidity produced a severe microcytic anemia with strong immature red cell response and granulocytosis occurring 2 to 4 weeks before a drop in hemoglobin and hematocrit...

Growth and mortality rates of the razor clam (Siliqua patula) on Clatsop beaches, Oregon

Creator:: Hirschhorn, George and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: Clatsop Beaches, characterized by flat beach-face slope (1:70) and small sandsize (0.2 mm.), have supported commercial and recreational fisheries for the razor clam (Siliqua patula) for many years. Tracing the linear growth of two year classes through more than one year following set led to a validation of the ring...

Creator:: Korn, Lawrence and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: The Oregon Fish Commission and Washington Department of Fisheries conducted a cooperative winter steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) tagging program on the Columbia River during the winters of 1954-55 and 1955-56. Objectives of the program were: (1) to obtain information on the timing of the various segments of the run; (2)...

Creator:: Waldron, Kenneth D. and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: Results of studies beginning in 1947 on the biology of the Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) in Oregon coastal waters are reported. A review is made of the history of the fishery with regard to trend of the catch by magnitude, area, and season; the development and conduct of the fishery...

A measured delay in the migration of adult chinook salmon at Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River

Creator:: Schoning, Robert W., Johnson, Donald R., and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: A study was undertaken in the fall of 1948 by the Oregon Fish Commission to determine the possible presence and importance of a delay in the migration of adult chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) at Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River. Approximately 650 chinook were captured, tagged, and released at the...

The 1951 Alsea River silver salmon tagging program

Creator:: Morgan, Alfred R., Cleaver, Fred C. (Frederick Charles), 1916-, and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: During a tagging operation conducted in 1951 on the Alsea River, 1,142 adult silver salmon were tagged with plastic Petersen-type tags and stainless steel jaw tags. An attempt was made to determine whether tagged fish released in different apparent conditions suffered differential mortalities. Under the hypothesis that the recovery of...

Age and growth study of Tillamook Bay chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta)

Creator:: Henry, Kenneth A. and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: Ages were determined for 65 fish from the 1947 run and for 287 fish from the 1949 run. In 1947 the percentage composition by age was as follows: 32.3 percent 3-year-old fish, 66.2 percent 4-year-old fish, and 1.5 percent 5-year-old fish. An approximate 95 percent confidence interval for the true...

The salmon runs of the Columbia River in 1938

Creator:: Rich, Willis H. (Willis Horton), 1885-1972 and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: Exceptional data are available for the study of the salmon runs of the Columbia River in 1938. Detailed figures on catch were supplied by Oregon and Washington in such form that they could readily be combined with the counts at Bonneville Dam to provide a basis for estimating the escapement....

The effects on salmon populations of the partial elimination of fixed fishing gear on the Columbia River in 1935

Creator:: Johnson, Donald R., Chapman, Wilbert McLeod, 1910-1970, Schoning, Robert W., and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: 1. Six major types of commercial gear have been used to take salmon and steelhead on the Columbia River; namely, gill nets, set nets, seines, traps, fish wheels and dip nets. 2. The five important commercial species in the Columbia River are chinook, silver, blueback and chum salmon and steelhead...

Seasonal variations in weight of Columbia River chinook salmon

Creator:: Rich, Willis H. (Willis Horton), 1885-1972 and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: A study of the fishery problems raised by the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam on the upper Columbia River was done. Part of the study was to estimate the number of salmon taken in commercial fishery for the purpose of comparing this with the number counted as they passed...

The future of the Columbia River salmon fisheries

Creator:: Rich, Willis H. (Willis Horton), 1885-1972 and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: The salmon runs of the Columbia River constitute one of the most important natural resources of the states of Oregon and Washington. Thousands of people are dependent, wholly or in part, upon these resources for their livelihood; and their welfare is dependent upon the maintenance of the salmon runs. It...

Creator:: Marr, John C. and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: Samples, consisting of scales, length and weight measurements, and sex determinations of chum, pink, and silver salmons, were taken from the commercial catch in the Columbia River in 1914. Five hundred eighteen chum scales were examined. All fish had gone to sea early in their first year; and 70.5 percent...

Contribution to the biology of the albacore (Germo alalunga) of the Oregon coast and other parts of the North Pacific

Creator:: Brock, Vernon E. and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: The temperate water fisheries for albacore in the North Pacific seem to exploit somewhat similar segments of the respective populations present in the various localities. It is clear that in most of the exploited populations two or at most three year classes are highly dominant. In the California fishery from...

Salmon fisheries of the coastal rivers of Oregon south of the Columbia

Creator:: Gharrett, John T., Hodges, John I., and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: In spite of the progressive restrictions of the commercial river fishery during the past fifty years, the trend of the salmon populations of the coastal rivers has been downward. It is almost impossible to isolate and analyze separately the causes of this decline, and any attempt to saddle one factor...

Some factors influencing the trends of salmon populations in Oregon

Creator:: McKernan, Donald L. (Donald Lynn), 1918-1979, Johnson, Donald R., Hodges, John I., and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: Three factors were found to be significantly correlated with the fluctuations and trends in silver salmon production in Oregon. Logging was found to adversely affect the runs of salmon in later years. Exceptional winter floods seem to produce poor resulting runs. Low summer water flows also appear to produce lower...

Creator:: Brock, Vernon E. and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: During an oceanographic cruise of the "E. W. Scripps" in May, 1939, off the coast of Oregon, four small, post-larval specimens of Anoplopoma fimitrita were taken at the surface of the sea with a dip net at two of the hydrographic stations off Cascade Head, Oregon.
