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 project objectives were to determine the possibility of raising the subterranean water in adequate amounts by installation of an underground weir; to determine what type of structure would be most feasible; and to formulate a biological evaluation program if the first two objectives were accomplished. Tex Creek, tributary to...
Project AFS-58 Final Report (part 1).
The first of three reports on a 15-year study to determine the effects of logging on the aquatic resources of three tributaries of the lower Alsea River. The study took place from 1959-1973. Primary objectives included in-depth study of population characteristics of fish species...
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...
The European green crab (Carcinus maenas) has persisted in Oregon and Washington coastal estuaries since the late 1990s. After the arrival of a strong year class in 1998, significant recruitment to the populations occurred only in 2003, 2005, 2006, 2010, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Warm winter water temperatures,...
California and Steller sea lions (Zalophus californianus, Eumetopias jubatus, respectively) are considered sentinel species because they have long life spans, are long-term coastal residents, feed at high trophic levels, and have large blubber stores that serve as depots for anthropogenic toxicants. There are few studies on sea lion health and...
This report focuses on the stocks of Silver (Coho) and Chinook salmon in Tillamook and Coos Bays, as well as Nehalem, Siletz, Yaquina, Alsea, Siuslaw, and Coquille Rivers. It gives a brief history of Oregon fisheries in general, then delineates and analyzes the yearly landings of each fishery for Silver...
Project AFS-58 Final Report (part 3). The final of three reports on a 15-year study to determine the effects of logging on the aquatic resources of three tributaries of the lower Alsea River. The study took place from 1959-1973. Primary objectives included in-depth study of population characteristics of fish species...
Project AFS-58 Final Report (part 2).
The second of three reports on a 15-year study to determine the effects of logging on the aquatic resources of three tributaries of the lower Alsea River. The study took place from 1959-1973. Primary objectives included in-depth study of population characteristics of fish species...
Three factors were found to be significantly correlated with the fluctuations and trends in silver salmon production in Oregon. Logging was found to adversely affect the runs of salmon in later years. Exceptional winter floods seem to produce poor resulting runs. Low summer water flows also appear to produce lower...
