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....

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.

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...

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.

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...

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.

Abstract:: By 1948, Oregon’s clamming regulations spilled over into fifty-one different sections of administrative rules. They were “cumbersome” at best. The previous legislative session had repealed many outdated laws but kept them in effect until the Fish Commission could study the issue and propose new regulations. The Commission had been studying...
