The Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds, Technical Reports from the Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (IMST) and numerous other documents identify an extensive array of research needed to recover depressed stocks of wild salmonids in Oregon. The limitation of such listings is that they do not prioritize the research needs,...
Oregon Revised Statute 541.409, which created the Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (IMST), specifies that agencies are to respond to the recommendations of the IMST, stating “(3) If the Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team submits suggestions to an agency responsible for implementing a portion of the Oregon Plan [for Salmon and Watersheds],...

The Troll Salmon Investigation is responsible for obtaining fishery and biological data, analyzing these data, and recommending appropriate management options for the troll fishery. Proposed management options are designed to achieve the optimum use of the salmon resource on a sustained basis. Activities pursued during FY 1977 included the sampling...
The West Coast salmon fishery presents several complexities that have received little attention in the fisheries economics literature. Two of those complexities are reviewed and analyzed in this dissertation. The first, salmon fishermen participate in alternative fisheries within a season demonstrating a complex switching behavior between different species. Second, the...
In spite of considerable efforts to restore natural runs of anadromous salmonids in the Pacific Northwest, they remain at risk of extirpation. Along with many other factors influencing the decline, stocking from hatcheries over the past hundred years is often suggested to be a major cause. The listing of over...
In spite of the progressive restrictions of the commercial river fishery during the past fifty years, the trend of the salmon populations of the coastal rivers has been downward. It is almost impossible to isolate and analyze separately the causes of this decline, and any attempt to saddle one factor...
The Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (IMST) convened 19 regional leaders in salmon management and research in a workshop on Goals for Recovery of Oregon Coastal Native (OCN) Stocks on August 4-5, 1999. The main purposes of the workshop were to 1) define the concept of recovery and 2) to identify...
An approach to understanding and managing anadromous salmon, steelhead,
and sea-run cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus spp.) based on life history and
evolutionary adaptive capacities of species and stocks is presented. Species, stocks,
and local populations are viewed as systems that are continuously adapting to
changing environmental conditions. They have the potential...
