This report summarizes the 1979 ocean salmon fishing season off the Oregon coast. Troll fishery landings were obtained directly from commercial fish receiving tickets supplemented with a survey of fish buyers to obtain the most up-to-date estimate of total landings. Recreational catch and effort were obtained from creel census survey...
The mechanisms of mortality during critical life stages of fish are not well-understood and, for many species, it is not clear if the mechanisms are similar for naturally and artificially propagated individuals. For Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), natural fish potentially face negative interactions, such as competition, and survival disadvantages, such...
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...
Kokanee Ecology F-71-R-1 This document is a report on the preliminary investigation into the Kokanee salmon in Odell Lake. As such, it includes catch results of Kokanee from various fishing vessels and days, as well as for fry from trawling. Data includes sizes of fish at various depths and times....
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.

Mimeographed copy of a report, presumably to the Oregon State Game Commission. Includes maps and original b+w photographs of Rogue River dams, fishways, and fishing in the late 1920s. The author was extremely frank about the issues of the day, particularly law enforcement issues.
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...
