Growing demand for limited quantities of fish has led to systematic
planning for the conservation and management of U.S. fishery resources.
There is a need for better understanding of the complex biological and
social environment on which regulation for conservation, social, and
economic purposes is imposed. The behavior of commercial...
Fishing firms in Oregon operate in a complex and dynamic physical, biological and institutional environment. Within this environment, managers of these firms will attempt to maximize some objective function which may include profit. This maximization is dependent upon the level of output, or the levels of inputs. Given a relationship...

The general purpose of this study was to formulate and conduct an economic analysis of some issues associated with managing commercial salmonid resources in Oregon. Since the Fish Commission
of Oregon has the responsibility for managing these resources, it provides the institutional framework for this study. Within this framework, the...
This publication is one of the first attempts to describe Oregon's seafood industry in economic terms. It draws together information from many local, state, and federal sources. When data were not available, they were developed from basic sources.
This is an exhibit made by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission for the October 22, 1999 meeting. Topics covered include: adjusting the definition of “species” to allow continued developmental fisheries for species endangered or threatened elsewhere, such as squid and sardines;...
This is an exhibit made by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission for the November 17, 2000 meeting. Topics covered include: proposals to add Daphnia (Daphnia spp., a small crustacean in the Klamath Lake area) and flat abalone (Haliotis walallensis) to the...
This annual report of Developmental Fisheries activities examines issues related to permits and to the commercial bay clam, box crab, squid, swordfish and brine shrimp fisheries. Recommended changes to the Oregon Administrative Rules are given.
This is an exhibit made by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission at a December, 2001 meeting. The report discusses permit transfers, management of the gaper clam fishery, and gives a draft interim management plan for Oregon's nearshore fisheries.
This annual report of Developmental Fisheries activities reviews the commercial brine shrimp and prawn fisheries and recommends changes to the Oregon Administrative Rules. Appendices include a cruise report from April, 1997 and a report, “Size at maturity in box crabs, Lopholithodes foraminatus, from Oregon.”
This report includes the annual report of Developmental Fisheries activities, discussion of the commercial brine shrimp, tanner crab and razor clam fisheries, and relevant Oregon Administrative Rules. It contains an appendix, “Synopsis of information on brine shrimp and razor clams,” and an addendum includes reviews of the deadline for new...
This is an exhibit made by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission at a December, 1996 meeting. "During their meeting on November 1, 1996, the Fish and Wildlife Commission delayed making a decision on two recommendations by the Developmental Fisheries Board. The...
This is an exhibit made by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission for an October 11, 2002 meeting.

The ocean fishery is an example of a common property
resource industry. Behavior of commercial fishermen is
determined by a complex set of economic, environmental and
social factors. All of these factors contribute to the
individual fisherman's success.
Fishermen learn to cope with the variability inherent
to their occupation. Two...
This is an exhibit made by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife before a meeting of the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission on October 19, 1994.

"This report provides information on some important economic aspects of the recreational and commercial crab fisheries in Alsea Bay. In 1989, the Department of Fish and Wildlife collected selected types of economic information from recreational crabbers who were surveyed in the Alsea Bay fishery. Commercial fishing data is based on...
Questions relating to economic performance, biological conservation and variation in resource abundance and harvest of ocean shrimp have led to increasing pressure for management action. Developing effective management policies for this highly variable resource requires a comprehensive understanding of the fishery and marine processes. Important factors in understanding the fishery...
To increase the knowledge needed to successfully implement the ecosystem-based approach to fishery management, this dissertation investigates important issues within the economics of choice and the economics of displacement. In particular, a discrete choice model of the fishing location decision in the Newport, Oregon bottom trawl groundfish fishery is estimated...
This thesis focuses on the economic efficiency of alternative habitat, streamfiow, and land use
allocations within a major drainage of the Pacific Northwest. Specifically, productivity of present habitat
and streamfiow conditions is evaluated with respect to anadromous fish species (chinook salmon and
steelhead trout) in the John Day River Basin,...
