A primary objective of the management practices of the Oregon
State Game Commission is to maximize and sustain the annual harvest
of salmon and steelhead by sportsmen fishing in Oregon. Assessment
of these practices is dependent upon an accurate determination of total
annual sports harvest throughout the state.
Present total...
The objective of this study was to determine whether wild populations of trout in the North Fork of the Middle Fork of the Willamette River can support a catch rate of 0.3-0.5 trout per hour at current levels of effort and to predict how different size and bag limits would...
Daily commercial albacore catches made by U. S. trollers fishing
off central California and Oregon are correlated with daily upwelling
indices and predictive catch models are developed.
Models predicting total catch/day and catch/boat/day are
formulated for the region off central California in 1961 to 1963 and
off Oregon in 1967...
Northwest of Normal is the first part of a novel that takes place along an imaginary Oregon river called the Ipsyniho. The story grows from valley’s fertile loam like a blackberry vine, entangling a group of locals—fly fishing guides and midwives, artists and dope growers—just as a posse of wealthy...
A sample of fish remains from two late-prehistoric archaeological sites on the central coast of Oregon were analyzed to partially evaluate two models of aboriginal subsistence-settlement systems. One model is based upon ethnograhpic data, primarily Drucker's (1939), for Yakonen speakers collected in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The...
This study provides an empirical test of the Bockstael-McConnell
(1980) household production function (HPF) framework for evaluating wildlife recreation. This is perhaps the first study in which
both taste and technology parameters have been estimated with a
theoretical model specification. The results suggest that for
steelhead sport fishing in Oregon,...
The main objective of this study was to estimate the demand for and net economic benefits from Oregon salmon sport fishing. The travel cost method was used as the primary technique for demand analysis. Several empirical estimates of consumer surplus per trip and per fish were obtained from different estimation...
