The purpose of this document is to summarize the best scientific information presently available for bull trout (Salvelimus confluentus) throughout Oregon and to review their historical and current status. What started out as a relatively simple exercise to review and update the status report by Ratliff and Howell (1992) based...
Exceptional data are available for the study of the salmon runs of the Columbia River in 1938. Detailed figures on catch were supplied by Oregon and Washington in such form that they could readily be combined with the counts at Bonneville Dam to provide a basis for estimating the escapement....
A study of the fishery problems raised by the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam on the upper Columbia River was done. Part of the study was to estimate the number of salmon taken in commercial fishery for the purpose of comparing this with the number counted as they passed...
The salmon runs of the Columbia River constitute one of the most important natural resources of the states of Oregon and Washington. Thousands of people are dependent, wholly or in part, upon these resources for their livelihood; and their welfare is dependent upon the maintenance of the salmon runs. It...
The salmon of the Columbia River have supported an intensive fishery for over seventy years but are now showing unmistakable signs of depletion, and various factors are contributing to the rapid progress of this condition. Five species of fish enter into the commercial fishery on the Columbia River itself. These...
Samples, consisting of scales, length and weight measurements, and sex determinations of chum, pink, and silver salmons, were taken from the commercial catch in the Columbia River in 1914. Five hundred eighteen chum scales were examined. All fish had gone to sea early in their first year; and 70.5 percent...
The temperate water fisheries for albacore in the North Pacific seem to exploit somewhat similar segments of the respective populations present in the various localities. It is clear that in most of the exploited populations two or at most three year classes are highly dominant. In the California fishery from...
During an oceanographic cruise of the "E. W. Scripps" in May, 1939, off the coast of Oregon, four small, post-larval specimens of Anoplopoma fimitrita were taken at the surface of the sea with a dip net at two of the hydrographic stations off Cascade Head, Oregon.
