"Prepared for the State/Federal Dungeness Crab Management Program, Policy Committee Meeting, April 1974." "At the present time most traps used in the Dungeness crab fishery have at least one escape port for the purpose of allowing small crabs to escape. The problem is that there is considerable variation in the...
Evidence for reduced reproductive success (RS) of wild spawning hatchery-reared fish invites serious consideration with regard to the detrimental effects on subsequent generations of wild populations. Mate choice was evaluated as a potential mechanism contributing to these observed RS differences using a previous pedigree of wild spawning hatchery-reared and wild...
This thesis focuses on the economic efficiency of alternative habitat, streamfiow, and land use
allocations within a major drainage of the Pacific Northwest. Specifically, productivity of present habitat
and streamfiow conditions is evaluated with respect to anadromous fish species (chinook salmon and
steelhead trout) in the John Day River Basin,...
Mimeographed copy of a report, presumably to the Oregon State Game Commission. Includes maps and original b+w photographs of Rogue River dams, fishways, and fishing in the late 1920s. The author was extremely frank about the issues of the day, particularly law enforcement issues.
Oregon's ocean waters are a potential source of wind, wave, and tidal energy; of interest to renewable energy entrepreneurs and to the U.S. government as it seeks to bolster energy security. In order to install technology to capture this energy, however, it may be necessary to mitigate conflict with existing...
"Prepared for the State/Federal Dungeness Crab Management Program. May 1974." "One of the initial objectives of the State/Federal Dungeness Crab Management Program is to evaluate crab mortality caused by certain fishery practices. The areas of most concern include mortality caused by trawling, handling of softshell and sublegal crabs, lost pots...
To best manage Eagle Creek National Fish Hatchery and minimize any negative impacts that the current hatchery program may be having on Endangered Species Act-listed salmonids in the Eagle Creek Basin, I determined if wild fish are being displaced from preferred habitats by hatchery salmonids Oncorhynchus spp. This thesis had...
