This document contains a result of a study to determine the role of hatchery-reared winter steelhead in steelhead fisheries. The study examines the contribution of these salmon ‘with respect to’ angling intensity, number of fish stocked, contribution of native stocks, and several other factors. It also investigates survival of hatchery-reared...
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...
Interannual variability of Humboldt squid (Dosidicus gigas) occurrence in the northern California Current System is largely unknown. In Oregon, the distribution of this versatile predator and what is influencing their range expansion from Mexico is poorly understood due to the recent nature of their "invasion" and a lack of monitoring....
Project CROOS, Collaborative Research on Oregon Ocean Salmon, is a unique partnership of scientists and commercial fishermen that combines catch location data with stock assignments obtained from genetic micro-satellite analysis to investigate the distribution of Oregon Chinook across multiple spatial scales. Using catch data collected by collaborating Oregon troll fishermen,...
This compendium contains listings of ongoing and recently completed research and administrative studies conducted in the Oregon Coast Range in the areas of fisheries, forestry, soils/hydrology, and wildlife. To assemble this compendium, requests for information were sent to about 145 individuals from various agencies, companies, and universities. Individuals and agencies...
Outreach is a key element in natural resource public participation processes in order to create an engaging, thoughtful, and productive environment for citizen involved decision-making. This project examined the utility of a needs assessment as an initial outreach tool within the context of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries...

"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...
