The bay clams of Oregon : their economic importance, relative abundance, and general distribution

Creator:: Marriage, Lowell D. and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: An average of approximately 200,000 pounds of bay clams were harvested annually in Oregon for the years 1943-49, inclusive. The commercial harvest of bay clams is composed of the gaper, cockle, and softshell clams. The recreational, or noncommercial, harvest of bay clams is composed mainly of the gaper, cockle, softshell,...

Analysis of factors affecting the production of chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) in Tillamook Bay

Creator:: Henry, Kenneth A. and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: Tillamook Bay chum salmon are caught commercially by gill-nets, both set and drift, and from 1928 through 1949 the landings have averaged 819,689 pounds per season. More chum salmon are caught on Tillamook Bay than on the rest of the Oregon coastal rivers combined. These fish enter the ocean only...

Tuberculosis in Pacific salmon and steelhead trout

Creator:: Wood, James W., Ordal, Erling Josef, 1906-, and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: Tuberculosis in salmonoid fishes was first observed in the 1952 run of fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) returning to the Bonneville Hatchery of the Oregon Fish Commission. In the studies reported here, tuberculosis was found not only in adult spring chinook but in silver salmon (0. kisutch), blueback salmon (0....

A microcytic anemia of juvenile chinook salmon resulting from diets deficient in vitamin E

Creator:: Whitmore, Cecil M. and Oregon. Fish Commission
Abstract:: 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...

Abstract:: Part I. To aid in the management of the Tillamook Bay commercial salmon fishery, a tagging program was conducted on the salmon and steelhead trout runs in 1953. General migration behavior, the minimum length of time the fish remained in the fishery, population sizes, and fishing mortalities were determined from...

Growth and mortality rates of the razor clam (Siliqua patula) on Clatsop beaches, Oregon

Abstract:: Clatsop Beaches, characterized by flat beach-face slope (1:70) and small sandsize (0.2 mm.), have supported commercial and recreational fisheries for the razor clam (Siliqua patula) for many years. Tracing the linear growth of two year classes through more than one year following set led to a validation of the ring...

Abstract:: A study was undertaken in the fall of 1948 by the Oregon Fish Commission to determine the possible presence and importance of a delay in the migration of adult chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) at Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River. Approximately 650 chinook were captured, tagged, and released at the...

Abstract:: During a tagging operation conducted in 1951 on the Alsea River, 1,142 adult silver salmon were tagged with plastic Petersen-type tags and stainless steel jaw tags. An attempt was made to determine whether tagged fish released in different apparent conditions suffered differential mortalities. Under the hypothesis that the recovery of...
