Sampling with seine and trawl from May 1974 to November 1976 indicated that the species composition and distribution of fishes in Tillamook Bay through time is primarily related to the movements of marine species in and out of the estuary. Northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax), surf smelt (Hypomesus pretiosus), and shiner...
Fish Commission of Oregon personnel seined selected locations of Tillamook Bay, Oregon, from June to September 1972, to determine if juvenile salmon were rearing in the estuary and to get some concept of relative numbers of fish in the various parts of the bay. These data then could be compared...
The author collected scales from angler-caught steelhead trout during the winter of 1941-1942. This data was supplemented with data from commercially gill-netted steelhead collected January 30-February 28, 1942. Most fish came from the lower Tillamook Bay or the lower Wilson River. The author examined size, growth pattern, age and sex,...
The Tillamook and Kilchis subbasins of the Tillamook Bay watershed (Oregon Coast Range) have differences in geology and land use history and, therefore, varied environmental conditions that could affect fish assemblages. Fifty-two randomly selected wadeable stream reaches in these two subbasins were surveyed for stream habitat and fish assemblage composition...
Coastal marsh vegetation is an important component in maintaining marsh stability that is threatened by changes in sedimentation, sea level rise, natural and anthropogenic disturbances, and competition from invasive species. Vegetation has been demonstrated to reduce wave energy, increase sedimentation, and decrease erosion in tidal environments under a range of...
Estuaries, which provide viable habitat for a plethora of fish and invertebrate species, are being increasingly impacted by anthropogenic and natural forces. Estuaries are important nursery habitat for young-of-the-year (YOY) Pacific rockfish (Sebastes spp.). Yaquina Bay, a marine-dominated estuary on the central Oregon Coast, served as a study site for...
