Historic changes that have taken place on Oregon's commercial
salmon fisheries are described in terms of their effects on the efficiency
of fishermen. This historical analysis provides a background
for comparative efficiency studies of Columbia River gillnetters and
ocean trollers with the objective of determining which harvester
group was more...
The Ocean Salmon Management Program is responsible for obtaining fishery and biological data, analyzing these data and recommending appropriate management options for the ocean fisheries. Proposed management options are designed to achieve the optimum use of the salmon resource on a sustained basis. The ocean salmon recreational fishery is now...
The ex-vessel coho salmon market has been paid scant attention
in the study of the salmon resources. This study is an attempt to
advance an understanding of the variations of ex-vessel prices and
landings during the coho season as well as between the various coastal
ports where the fish is...
In spite of the progressive restrictions of the commercial river fishery during the past fifty years, the trend of the salmon populations of the coastal rivers has been downward. It is almost impossible to isolate and analyze separately the causes of this decline, and any attempt to saddle one factor...
The Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (IMST) convened 19 regional leaders in salmon management and research in a workshop on Goals for Recovery of Oregon Coastal Native (OCN) Stocks on August 4-5, 1999. The main purposes of the workshop were to 1) define the concept of recovery and 2) to identify...
Coho salmon have been the most important variety of salmon caught commercially in Oregon. Until recently, coho were also the most common variety in most coastal streams. Based on records from salmon canneries, coho in Oregon north of Cape Blanco (near Port Orford) numbered about 1.25 million adults annually 100...
Private hatchery operations continued in 1973 and 1974 on more of an experimental than production basis. For 1973-brood chums, OSU increased their production at Whiskey Creek to a release of 761,000 fry and the state sold 247,500 eggs to private operators. AduIt returns to Whiskey Creek in 1973 were encouraging...

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 document describes the life history and abundance of both the spring Chinook salmon and the Silver salmon in the Willamette River. It also goes into detail about various factors affecting Willamette salmon runs., including pollution, dams, and logging.
This information report contains the results of a program to distribute surplus fry to streams underutilized by the natural population. It discusses the stocking and evaluation procedures, and gives the results.
This study was performed in response to doubts about the reliability of the database in place at ODFW. It consisted of surveys to verify if Chinook salmon were using the habitats previously identified and looks for discrepancies between summer habitat inventory and fall Chinook spawners. A large portion of the...

This report focuses on the stocks of Silver (Coho) and Chinook salmon in Tillamook and Coos Bays, as well as Nehalem, Siletz, Yaquina, Alsea, Siuslaw, and Coquille Rivers. It gives a brief history of Oregon fisheries in general, then delineates and analyzes the yearly landings of each fishery for Silver...
This volume of the PMFC bulletin focuses on salmon troll fisheries, with descriptions of the California and Oregon fisheries as well as a research report on the Washington State troll fishery.
Fisheries researchers and the general public can greatly benefit from the rapid data sharing and collaborative research that is facilitated by the both the internet and modern digital technology. One of the pioneers of this new strategy of conducting and utilizing fisheries research is Project CROOS (Collaborative Research on Oregon...
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...
