Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) permits for discharging seafood-processing wastes into adjacent estuarine waters expire July 31, 1974. Beyond this date, Oregon's seafood processors must adopt one or a combination of three options: curtailment of waste production, disposal outside of estuaries, or conversion of waste to some other product....
The report begins with a brief discussion of certain aspects of the production and consumption of Pacific Coast salmon. This is followed by a description of some structural characteristics of the market for canned salmon. The next section of the report reviews some of the earlier work on demand for...
This work consolidates from many sources features of the fresh frozen shrimp industry in terms of its product volume, value, growth trends and position relative to other Oregon seafood commodities. Market structure and functions are described as the product moves from the fisherman through the processor, broker, wholesaler and retailer...
Oysters (all species combined). in terms of ex-vessel value, currently rank seventh largest among all seafood species landed in the United States, following shrimp, salmon, tuna, crab, lobster, and menhaden.
The supply of domestic hatchery seed for oyster propagation is not sufficient to meet the potential demand at current market...
Oregon's Columbia River ports are as diversified as the lands on which they are located. From Astoria to Umatilla, the common factor that links the ports is the Columbia River, which borders all of the ports discussed in this publication.
Pacific Northwest trawl fishermen spend an estimated $625,000 every year to replace corroded trawl cable. If the Pacific Northwest shrimp fleet is included, the yearly cost greatly exceeds one million dollars. Fishermen could save hundreds of thousands of dollars and increase the net return to the individual fisherman if they...
This report explains the purpose and use of Marine Economics Data Sheets. The explanation begins at the right and continues on page 4. Pages 2 and 3 illustrate both sides of a Marine Economics Data Sheet and describe its parts.
The procedures presented are not THE BEST WAY or THE ONLY METHOD of crab meat extraction, since some plants may have different process requirements. By following this method, however, you will find that it is easier to remove the meat from a crab, and that you will be able to...
This pamphlet attempts to identify and describe the various administrative permits required for a salmon ranch operation in Oregon. It also describes the administrative procedures by which agencies make their decisions. Lastly, it includes representative samples of application forms, copies of particularly significant legislation and regulations, and information about state...
The natural reserves of high quality construction aggregates found along the Oregon coast are being depleted. The impending shortages are compounded by restrictions being placed on existing aggregate sources because of energy. economic, and environmental considerations, and zoning regulations. A current solution for the shortage is to import quality aggregate...
The task of obtaining good-quality aggregate for construction is a growing problem for most Oregon coastal communities. Current shortages have forced users to import quality aggregate from areas as far as the Willamette Valley. The practice of transporting aggregate over such long distances is both costly and energy-intensive.
One feasible...
Impending shortages of high-quality aggregates in areas along the Oregon coast have forced users to search for new sources of supply. A number of feasible methods exist for supplying the affected areas. Three of these alternatives are: (1) importation, either by truck, rail, or barge; (2) the use of good-quality...
These notes on Bonding and DC systems for boats summarize recommendations made at a series of Sea Grant workshops held between 1974 and 1978. The workshops were conducted by Don A. Cunning, instructor of marine electronics, Ketchikan Community College. The notes were prepared by Edward Kolbe of the OSU Sea...
The opportunities for expanding water supplies in Oregon coastal municipalities are becoming increasingly limited. New water quantity and quality regulations, particularly those designed to protect and rebuild salmon runs, constrain water supply options. At the same time, however, demand for water is increasing. Coastal communities continue to grow in population...
