This paper is record of early work in oyster culture in the west coast oyster industry. It summarizes operations for a year of running the OSU pilot oyster hatchery, and subsequent recommendations for its continued large-scale production of oysters.
A student report for a Civil Engineering 572 class, this document is an extensive description of the Salmon River estuary, including water flow, quality, predictions for the estuary’s future, and numerous charts and graphs.
Heceta Bank is a large reef on the edge of the central Oregon continental shelf that supports a wide variety of commercial fisheries. Using the research submersible Delta, we studied fish abundances on Heceta Bank and the relationship between species composition of fish assemblages and bottom types. Cluster analysis indicated...
Submersible belt-transect surveys along a rocky bottom were combined with acoustic surveys of the water column to estimate depth distribution and density of fishes at Stonewall Bank, Oregon in the northeastern Pacific Ocean from September through October 1991. The objectives of the study were to determine the proportion of fish...
Rockfishes, Sebastes spp.. were the most numerous and speciose fishes seen during 16 submersible dives from 64 to 305 m depth in the vicinity of Heceta Bank off the coast of Oregon. Dense schools of juvenile rockfishes and large yellowtail rockfish, S. flavidus, were observed only over rocky, high relief...
The management policy of the Fish Commission of Oregon concerning the Pacific pink shrimp, (Pandalus jordani) has resulted in regulations which apply to all shrimp along the Oregon coast and do not recognize separate populations. There are several shrimp grounds along the 300-mile length of the continental shelf off Oregon...
As a prelude to tagging studies on pink shrimp (Pandalus jordani) or other laboratory studies, basic information was needed to establish criteria necessary to hold shrimp in aquariums with minimum mortality. A one-year study was conducted at the Fish Commission Laboratory in Newport to obtain data on these requirements. The...
