The Troll Salmon Investigation is responsible for obtaining fishery and biological data, analyzing these data, and recommending appropriate management options for the troll fishery. Proposed management options are designed to achieve the optimum use of the salmon resource on a sustained basis. Activities pursued during FY 1977 included the sampling...
This report covers a range of information about shellfish, including the populations of clams in Yaquina & Tillamook bays, the Pacific Oyster mortality event in Coos bay (with a hand-drawn map of Coos Bay), testing of different crab baits, and different statistics about the Coquille River Crab Fishery. This report...
Consumption of seafood products continues to grow each year, but post-harvest losses and inedible seafood waste remain as high as 25%. Ice-based systems are the most common form of preservation to increase shelf life, preserve product quality, and enhance product safety. Slurry ice is a type of chilling media, consisting...
The typical coho salmon life history has been characterized by juvenile fish that spend their entire first year in freshwater habitats before migrating into estuaries as smolts. However, reports of early migrating coho fry (age 0), including migration downstream to estuarine habitats, date back to the 1960s. Until a few...
Oregon's commercial fishery for albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga)
is large, valuable, and variable. Little is known, however, about the
oceanographic factors which determine abundance and distribution of
albacore.
Primarily using logbook data contributed by fishermen, this study
compares albacore catches with selected ocean conditions. The study
is limited to troll-caught...
Nearshore and estuarine environments along the U.S West Coast are ocean acidification (OA) "hotspots". Carbon dioxide-enriched water has been correlated with production losses of Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) larvae at hatcheries in the Pacific Northwest. Limited and unreliable supply of larval seed has implications for the economic well-being of commercial...
"The decade of massive change facing Oregon's commercial fishing industry includes a potential for development of a new fishery that could generate $86 million in income to coastal communities and up to $114 million coastwide if catches of Pacific whiting were landed and processed onshore" (From Title Page)
"The Pacific Northwest Seafood Association is involved in several activities. Our primary goals are to maintain the greatest long-term, sustainable harvest utilization and value-added benefits from all of our fisheries. In 1992, the state decided that commercial fisheries should be designated a key Oregon industry. That event combined with several...
