"Submitted herewith is report of a comprehensive survey and study of Oregon's wild life resource and the problems of wild life conservation and management in the state. The report presents numerous data on the principal species of wild life in Oregon and their habitat." (From Introduction)
In the summer of 1935, a new sardine (pilchard) fishery began in Oregon. This report describes the 1935, 1936 and 1937 seasons of this fishery. Includes charts, b+w photographs.
The purpose of this report is to set forth in a condensed form the major items considered by the State Water Resources Board in its formulation of an integrated, coordinated program of use and control of the water resources of the Mid-Coast Basin in Oregon.
In a paper now in press as a Bulletin of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Services the writer has discussed the downward trend of the catch of Columbia River Chinook salmon since 1920 and has stated that the decline is doubtless an indication that the runs of this species...
Consists largely of tables summarizing various hatchery and game farm expenditures, numbers of trout handled at different life stages and locations, and also game fish/pheasants liberated.
Sometime ago, the Division of State Lands, working with funds provided by the United States Government, under the Emergency Employment Act of 1971, performed a study and analysis of the ownership of submersible lands (tidelands) in each of Oregon's major estuaries. The results of our study are contained in this...
The author collected scales from angler-caught steelhead trout during the winter of 1941-1942. This data was supplemented with data from commercially gill-netted steelhead collected January 30-February 28, 1942. Most fish came from the lower Tillamook Bay or the lower Wilson River. The author examined size, growth pattern, age and sex,...
Memorandum from the Division of State Lands giving the history of physical changes in Yaquina Bay relating to state ownership of tidal lands. "The following information on tideland sales, dredging filling, etc., is a comprehensive picture of these changes from 1895 to the present in order to determine the state...
Urban areas currently cover a small fraction of Oregon’s landscape but will expand to accommodate an increasingly large proportion of the state’s growing population and economic activity. Residential developments on rural lands now cover more than twice the area occupied by Oregon’s urban developments and are growing rapidly. Oregon urban...
Covers the period from December 1, 1890 to November 30, 1892. Concerned with fisheries legislation and enforcement, financial reporting, hatcheries and fisheries statistics. 4th report (1891) found in p.1-28. The fifth report (1892) (p.29-46) includes sections on fish and game laws of Oregon. A paper copy of this report may...
Covers Dec.1, 1888 - November 30, 1890. 3rd report (1889) p.1-17. 4th report (1890) p.18-57. Both reports cover legal aspects of state fisheries management, financial reporting, hatcheries and fisheries statistics. The 4th report (1890) has a section covering General Fishing Laws of Oregon: Relating to Oysters; Killing Fish with Explosives;...
Reviews fisheries legislation, hatchery program progress, dangers to salmon. Complains about seals and sea lion predation on salmon. Reviews major fishing streams of the time. Fiscal and statistical reports included.
Several generations of Oregonians carry memories of a series of forest fires so sweeping that they spurred an entire state into action. These fires created what was for a long time called the "Tillamook Burn" -- a wide swath of devastation cut through old growth forests in the Coast Range....
Tiller Reservoir
In an average year the reservoir is capable of holding
water temperatures in South Umpqua River below 70° F.
for a wide range of regulation schedules. In a year of
maximum temperature, it will also hold temperatures
below 700 F. but flexibility of operation will be restricted.
Regulations...
To determine if squirrels (Sciurus douglasii var.) cut cones before the seeds are ripe, a series of collection points was established in the Willamette Valley and the Cascade Mountains in the summer of 1954. The areas were inspected at intervals during August, September and October of 1954, and freshly cut...
In recent years much of the logging in the Douglas fir region has been by the staggered setting system. Consequently, the effects of this system upon natural coniferous regeneration have become increasingly important. This study was designed to analyze the effects of setting size and environmental factors upon natural regeneration...
