This is an account of an experiment in tagging and releasing Dungeness crabs into Yaquina Bay in early 1957. Did they travel to the ocean, to another bay, or did they stay in Yaquina Bay?
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...
Kokanee Ecology F-71-R-1 This document is a report on the preliminary investigation into the Kokanee salmon in Odell Lake. As such, it includes catch results of Kokanee from various fishing vessels and days, as well as for fry from trawling. Data includes sizes of fish at various depths and times....
The intent of this report was to assemble widely scattered information relevant to the effective management of Siltcoos Lake fisheries. 2nd half of document consists of Physical/Biological stream surveys conducted by the Oregon State Game Commission. Physical data consists of descriptions of the drainage basin, land use, climate, and limnology...
In response to a decline in gaper clam stocks, the Research Division of the Oregon Fish Commission recommended that the overall limit for gaper clams be reduced to 12 gapers per personal-use clam digger, with a 36-clam overall daily limit.
This report measures the effects of logging on the production and yield of Coho salmon, coastal cutthroat, and steelhead trout in small coastal streams. It contains descriptions of the physical and biological environment before logging, and describes some immediate effects of logging, such as such as a decrease in dissolved...
This report summarizes research on coastal cutthroat trout from the beginning of more intensive studies in 1962 through 1965. Early work involved studies of the growth, survival and catch of hatchery-reared cutthroat in coastal lakes, with a change in 1965 to research in coastal streams and estuaries. Research is continuing,...
This document contains a result of a study to determine the role of hatchery-reared winter steelhead in steelhead fisheries. The study examines the contribution of these salmon ‘with respect to’ angling intensity, number of fish stocked, contribution of native stocks, and several other factors. It also investigates survival of hatchery-reared...
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)...
