Much information biologists need to do their job comes from fishermen's logbooks. These logbook data are confidential by law. No single log record, or single skipper's log information can be made available to anyone else. What use is made of these log records, and why are they useful is a...
The housewife knows the little shrimp used for seafood cocktails and salads as the north Pacific cocktail shrimp. Fishermen harvesting them along Oregon's coast call them pink shrimp, and scientists identify them as Pandalus jordani. By any name, this crustacean is the object of Oregon's newest seafood fishery. This fishery...
Research cruises were made between August 28, 1967, and June 19, 1968, to study the vertical distribution and movements of pink shrimp, Pandalus jordani, off Tillamook Head in 68-80 fathoms. Shrimp traps suspended from surface to bottom, midwater trawl, and bottom shrimp trawl nets were used. Results are discussed in...
“During the report period, two survey cruises were completed off Oregon; 96 tows were made in the fall of 1966 and 173 in the spring of 1967. Cruise reports were written for each cruise. In addition, logs showing tow location, length, catch, and other data were distributed to interested fishermen...
“The purpose of the 1979 survey was to obtain standing stock biomass estimates of shrimp off Oregon in the area between 35-145 fm from Cape Blanco (lat 42°54′ N) to the Columbia River (Lat 46°15′ N) and to determine age and sex composition and average size (count per pound) of...
This report summarizes program progress in FY 1973. Activities were directed entirely at completing the second phase of the work started in 1971, i.e., to complete the resource survey of the continental shelf off Oregon between the Columbia River and Cape Blanco. Objectives of the survey were to obtain estimates...
This report summarizes program progress in FY 1972. Activities were directed almost entirely toward the groundfish survey of the continental shelf off Oregon between the Columbia River and Cape Blanco. Since the area was too large to be surveyed in one cruise, it will be surveyed over a two year...
In 1973, Oregon, Washington and California along with the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission "entered into a cooperative State/Federal Dungeness Crab Management Program."
