The primary objective of the Shrimp Resource Assessment is to provide scientific information and alternative resource use strategies for the management of the regional pink shrimp fishery resource. To accomplish this objective, five specific annual tasks were developed: 1) Collect and code shrimp fishery logbook data, match logbook information to...
From January 1980 to January 1981 approximate monthly sampling of a unique rockfish (Scorpaenidae) fishing area on Heceta Bank, Oregon was undertaken using acoustic techniques and trawling aboard chartered commercial fishing vessels. Rankings of density of fish sign observed on acoustic transects were regressed against selected environmental variables. Acoustic abundance...
