Studies of geographic variation are central to understanding ecological and evolutionary processes. Geographic variation in the shell of the black abalone (Halioth cracherodii), a marine intertidal gastropod, involves both
clinal and local variation along the eastern Pacific coast in the number and size of tremata (=respiratory pores) on the shell....
"On August 4, 1958, the Oregon Fish Commission entered into a two-year agreement with two California fishermen to do exploratory work off the Oregon coast for red abalone (Haliotis rufescens). In August 1960 the Fish Commission renewed this contract for two years with one of these fishermen. The purpose of...
This is a 1966 proposal to transplant about 500 red abalone (Haliotis rufescens) into Whale Cove on the Oregon Coast, and see if the abalone prospered. This proposal was approved, and the Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife did launch this experiment.
The objective of this project was, "To establish, in Oregon, a coastwide red abalone sport fishery and a limited commercial fishery as stocks dictate." Starting in 1967, abalone were planted at Whale Cove in Lincoln County, and were later planted at the Rogue River Reef in the Gold Beach area...
This is a presentation made by the Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife before a meeting of the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission. It advocates closing sport harvests of abalone, citing a "conservation crisis." ""We have reason to suspect that abalone are being taken from Oregon waters under the guise...
In the late 1950s, "two California men" came to Oregon to learn if there were abalone here, and found them in the southern part of the state. The resulting publicity and interest inspired this document, an attempt to develop regulations for a new fishery. It is an internal discussion paper...
This document outlines a proposal to plant red abalone in Whale Cove in Lincoln County, Oregon, in an attempt to establish a population in the northern half of the state. A proposed regulation includes a ban on all shellfish harvesting in Whale Cove.
This report presents information on clam distribution in Oregon estuaries. It includes clam population estimates for parts of Yaquina, Tillamook and Coos bays. Gives data from a clam aging study. Permits were issued for commercial clam harvesting in Yaquina and Coos bays. Reports on plantings of clams in Netarts and...
In 2000, the Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife allowed one permit for an experimental scuba diving fishery for flat abalone (Haliotis walallensis) in Oregon. "The purpose of this report is to summarize the data collected during the first year of harvest/research and make recommendations for future sampling needs and...
"Laboratory studies during the 1971-72 project year consisted primarily of developing mass culture and planting techniques for Manila littleneck clams (Venerupis semidecussata). Field studies continued utilizing laboratory-reared juvenile Manilas... Adult red abalone (Haliotis rufescens) were obtained from California for spawning. Experiments were initiated for culturing diatoms in the laboratory as...
