For years, the Oregon fishing industry has argued that the lack of coastal cold storage designed to handle seafood has severely limited the opportunity to develop value-added products and retain seafood industry employment. Once landed, the majority of Oregon seafood spends little time on the coast, and a large portion...
"The Pacific Northwest Seafood Association is involved in several activities. Our primary goals are to maintain the greatest long-term, sustainable harvest utilization and value-added benefits from all of our fisheries. In 1992, the state decided that commercial fisheries should be designated a key Oregon industry. That event combined with several...
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.
The purpose of the research project leading to this paper was to determine if a
community management approach to fishery management would be feasible in Oregon.
The basis for answering this question was a survey of residents in Oregon's eleven
incorporated fishing port communities.
Project CROOS, Collaborative Research on Oregon Ocean Salmon, is a unique partnership of scientists and commercial fishermen that combines catch location data with stock assignments obtained from genetic micro-satellite analysis to investigate the distribution of Oregon Chinook across multiple spatial scales. Using catch data collected by collaborating Oregon troll fishermen,...
The typical coho salmon life history has been characterized by juvenile fish that spend their entire first year in freshwater habitats before migrating into estuaries as smolts. However, reports of early migrating coho fry (age 0), including migration downstream to estuarine habitats, date back to the 1960s. Until a few...
Interannual variability of Humboldt squid (Dosidicus gigas) occurrence in the northern California Current System is largely unknown. In Oregon, the distribution of this versatile predator and what is influencing their range expansion from Mexico is poorly understood due to the recent nature of their "invasion" and a lack of monitoring....
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 is an Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife exhibit for a meeting of the Oregon State Fish and Wildlife Commission. "Problem: Oregon crab fishermen are concerned that 4-3/8" escape ports in crab pots allow too many legal male crabs to escape. Requests have been made to determine whether or...
