Razor clams were sampled from March through September. Due to lack of help, work was confined to Clatsop County beaches. The sport and commercial catches were sampled for numbers and age composition of the clams harvested and the distribution and numbers of diggers. The summer clam closure and sampling program...
Clams dug by razor clam diggers were sampled from March through September. The sampling day and area were selected randomly according to a method suggested by our statistician. The number of clam digger trips and the number and age of the clams were noted for the personal use and commercial...
